About

Stable, Rigid Design for Thermal Cycling

Our PCR 384-well plate features a robust, fully-skirted frame that provides excellent stability during thermal cycling. The enhanced rigidity makes it ideal for automated and high-throughput PCR workflows, especially where robotic handling is required. The 384-well format also supports assay miniaturisation, allowing laboratories to reduce reaction volumes while maintaining signal uniformity and data quality.

Superior Sealing with Two-Component Construction

Unlike standard 1-component plates, our unique two-component design minimizes the risk of evaporation caused by poor sealing. This ensures more reliable results, especially in demanding PCR and qPCR applications. 

Premium Materials for Reliable Results

Each 384-well plate is manufactured using 100% virgin medical-grade polypropylene, providing a maximum well capacity of 45 µL. Every plate is certified free of DNase, RNase, nucleases, and human gDNA—perfect for sensitive PCR assays. 

Versatility and Compatibility

Our PCR 384-well plates are compatible with a wide range of PCR and qPCR instruments. For detailed compatibility information, please refer to our Plate Instrument Compatibility List. 

Format Options

Choose between clear or white well formats to suit your specific application. 

How to Choose PCR Plates

When selecting a PCR 384-well plate, consider factors such as plate rigidity, sealing performance, material purity, and instrument compatibility. Our plates are engineered to meet the demands of automated and high-throughput PCR, making them an excellent choice for any laboratory setup. 

FAQ:

Can I use wet or dried DNA samples for genotyping?

All our master mixes can be used with hydrated or dry DNA samples. If high numbers of samples are to be genotyped in one run, drying the DNA samples can improve the resulting genotype data.

To dry the DNA, once dispensed into a PCR plate, the plate should be centrifuged to ensure the samples are all in the bottom of the wells, and then placed in a laboratory fan oven for one hour at 55ËšC, or until the samples have visibly dried.  DNA dried onto a PCR plate is stable long term at ambient temperature.  

Are 3cr Bioscience 384-well plates barcoded?

No, these plates are not supplied with a barcode. You will need to source your barcode separately, if required.

Can 3cr Bioscience 384-well plates be autoclaved?

No, our 384-well plates will warp under autoclave conditions.

Do you supply 384-well sample plates to test?

Yes, we can send a sample 384-well plate for you to test. Please email your contact details to orders@3crbio.com, along with the part code of the plate.

Steve AsquithManaging Director
Steve began his career in the Genetics Division of GlaxoSmithKline, as part of the team establishing GSK’s high-throughput core genotyping laboratory. Steve joined KBioscience when it was first founded in 2002 and was a key driver in taking the company from a small start-up to a multi-national service laboratory, quickly growing the company’s revenue to over $7.5M p.a. Following the acquisition of Kbioscience by LGC in 2011, Steve was appointed Global Director of Operations for LGC Genomics, responsible for over 100 staff in Europe and N. America, successfully elevating the genotyping products and service business. Steve held a crucial leadership role until he left in 2016. In 2017 Steve joined forces with John Holme to create 3CR Bioscience, a new company with a mission to deliver outstanding, customer-focused genotyping products with innovation and affordability at its core.
Dr. John HolmeTechnical Director

John joined KBioscience shortly after it was founded, in 2003, and became Head of Technical Development, building the company’s genotyping and DNA extraction product portfolio and service delivery until 2011 when it was acquired by LGC. Post-acquisition, John was appointed Head of Technical Group for LGC Genomics, in charge of all Research & Development and Technical Support activities for the company. In this role John continued to build on the high-quality products and services provided to the companies growing customer base.

During the 19 years John has worked in commercial R&D, he has co-invented numerous highly successful products including PACE®, ProbeSure, KASP™, KlearKall, KlearGene, KlearAmp and KlearTaq™, creating breakthrough offerings in genotyping and extraction and generating huge revenues for the companies he has worked in. In 2017, he joined forces with Steve Asquith and started 3CR Bioscience. John is dedicated to developing outstanding, innovative genotyping products and providing the very best technical support to customers globally.
