PCR Cleanup Filter Plates

Remove primers and unincorporated dNTPs in one step

Descripción

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.
