Arvensis PCR Plates
Versatile Formats for Every Workflow
The A-Frame® range is designed for maximum compatibility across various thermal cycler platforms, offering specialized skirt and profile configurations to suit your laboratory's specific instrumentation:
- A-Frame® PCR Plates: Available in 96-well and 384-well formats. Options include Fully Skirted, Semi-Skirted (Roche, ABI, and Universal styles), and Storage variants.
- R-Frame® Recycled Plates: Our most sustainable option, featuring the same ultra-rigid performance with a frame constructed from 90% post-consumer recycled (PCR) polycarbonate, reducing the product's carbon footprint by 70%.
- A-Frame® Reload System: A modular solution designed to reduce plastic waste, allowing the rigid frames to be reused with compatible tube inserts.
Engineered for Performance
Every plate in the series is manufactured with Low Bind surface technology to ensure maximum sample recovery and high-sensitivity detection. The dual-material construction prevents the typical "bowing" effect of standard polypropylene plates, making them the ideal choice for automated high-throughput systems and sensitive NGS library preparation.

Sustainability Without Compromise
Adopting eco-friendly laboratory consumables should not mean sacrificing the precision of your genomic workflows. We have addressed the primary technical considerations regarding the R-Frame™ series to ensure a seamless transition from traditional virgin-grade plates to a more sustainable, high-performance alternative.
The R-Frame™ does not compromise on thermal transfer. While the rigid frame is constructed from 90% post-consumer recycled polycarbonate, the wells themselves are manufactured from 100% virgin medical-grade polypropylene. This ensures the ultra-thin wall design required for rapid and consistent heat transfer during PCR and qPCR remains identical to standard premium plates.
No. The recycled polycarbonate is used exclusively for the outer support frame (the "skirt" and deck). The wells, which come into direct contact with your samples and reagents, are made from virgin, leachables-free polypropylene. This dual-material design ensures that your reaction environment remains pure and free from any contaminants associated with recycled plastics.
By implementing the R-Frame™ series, laboratories can document a 70% reduction in the carbon footprint of the plate's polycarbonate component compared to traditional virgin-grade alternatives. This supports institutional ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments and helps facilities meet green lab certification requirements, such as LEAF or My Green Lab.
Yes. The R-Frame™ is engineered to meet standard SBS footprints. The 90% recycled polycarbonate frame provides the high level of structural rigidity required for robotic grippers and high-throughput automated platforms, preventing the warping often seen with single-material polypropylene plates.
