Principle
4titude®'s FrameStar® Break-A-Way offers you all the flexibility of tube strips, in a plate. FrameStar® Break-A-Way is a 96well PCR plate, that can easily be divided into smaller plate sections, ensuring no tubes are wasted.
FrameStar® Break-A-Way uses the two-component design we use for FrameStar® and FrameStrip™ which combines the advantages of thin-walled polypropylene tubes for optimum PCR results and a rigid frame porition for easy and reliable handling.
When used as a plate, the benefits of FrameStar® are realised - evaporation from corner positions and outer rows of wells is minimal, which allows for downscaling of reagent volumes. When used in strips, the benefits of FrameStrip™ are seen, where the rigid two-component design ensures the strip remains straight and stable.
For colour coding of experiments, we offer FrameStar® Break-A-Way in 5 colours, all with clear tubes and for optical assays, such as qPCR, we supply strips with white wells in black frames. FrameStar® Break-A-Way is compatible with the majority of thermal cyclers.
