FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| My recoveries with the MultiScreen384-PCR plate are lower than expected. How can I improve them? | Here a few things to check:
|
| Will mineral oil be removed by the MultiScreen 384-PCR plate? | No. Oil will resuspend with PCR products. All 384 thermocyclers use "Hot Bonnet" technology, however, eliminating the need for oil. |
| When using the Multiscreen PCR plates, what is the minimum and maximum DNA loading capacity per well? | The minimum DNA loading capacity is one microgram per well. There is no upper limit. |
| What is the minimum recovery volume possible when using the MultiScreen-PCR plates? | The minimum recovery volume is 50µl. Use of smaller volumes can be used but will result in a decrease in DNA recovery. |
| What are the dimensions of the Multiscreen-PCR plate? | The plate length is 123.4mm. The plate width is 82.7mm. the plate depth is 14.6mm without the cover. 16.5mm with cover. |
| When using the Montage kits how can I tell when filtration in the MultiScreen plate is complete? | Filtration is complete when the individual wells of the MultiScreen plate are empty and the membranes appears shiny. Filtration usually takes about 10 minutes, depending on starting volume. |
| What is the DNA binding capacity of the MultiScreen FB for PCR purification? | The DNA binding capacity is 4-5ug per well. |
| When using the Montage PCR-96 kit, what is the recommended procedure for resuspension of PCR fragments post filtration? | Avoid manual pipetting. The use of a plate shaker or automated pipettor (on robotic liquid handling system) is highly recommended. |
| What is the minimum resuspension volume for product recovery from the Montage PCR96 Kit? | 50 microliters per sample. |
| What is the maximum binding capacity for DNA in the PCR Product Purification protocol using the MultiScreen-FB plate? | The binding capacity of the MultiScreen FB, after treatment with "binding" buffer is 4-5ug of DNA per well. |

Our PCR filter plates are fast, automatable solutions for high-throughput PCR purification. Available in 96- and 384-well formats and a µ96-well format for small volumes, MultiScreen® PCR plates use a size-exclusion membrane and vacuum filtration to provide a one-step protocol with excellent results. No centrifugation or precipitation is required. Full sample recovery from the top of the plate enhances compatibility with liquid handling systems. MultiScreen® PCRµ96 and MultiScreen®PCR384 filter plates provide high recovery on even the smallest miniaturized reactions. Working volumes <150 µL conserve reagents and save money. For volumes >150 µL, use MultiScreen®PCR96 96-well filter plate.
Features & Benefits
- High purity and high recovery
- No centrifugation or precipitation
- Fast processing times, automation compatible
- MultiScreen® PCRµ96 filter plate recommended for small fragments (1-150 bp)
Protocol
)
| 1. | Load PCR reactions. |
| 2. | Filter with Millipore vacuum manifold for 5–10 minutes or until wells are dry. |
| 3. | Add water or buffer to each well. Agitate by shaking or pipetting. Retrieve purified samples by aspiration. |
