Thermo Scientific's Armadillo 96-Well PCR Plate, Orange Frame, Clear Wells, Barcode - 25 Plates is a low-profile, barcoded 96-well PCR plate with a orange polycarbonate frame and clear, thin-walled polypropylene wells. The rigid frame is designed to resist warping during thermal cycling and provide mechanical stability during robotic handling. The plate uses an ANSI:SBS footprint for compatibility with robotic systems. Its optically clear skirt supports liquid visualization and stacking, while raised well rims improve the sealing surface. Thin-walled U-bottom wells support heat transfer and sample recovery, and an indented alphanumeric grid helps identify individual wells. The low-profile format has a stated working volume of 200 µL. The plates are barcoded, and the product information notes that customer-specific barcoding can be supplied for automated applications. The product is supplied as 25 plates for PCR. The combination of the rigid frame and integrated wells maintains the plate geometry during cycling and handling. The frame color provides a visible distinction while the clear wells retain direct visibility of the reaction contents.
