Nest Scientific DuoMat PCR Plates Features

Nest Scientific DuoMat PCR plates are available in 96-well (0.1 mL and 0.2 mL) and 384-well (40 µL) formats, allowing laboratories to select the ideal configuration based on throughput, reaction volume, and instrument compatibility.

Engineered with a dual-material construction, these plates combine thin-walled polypropylene (PP) wells for optimal thermal transfer with a rigid polycarbonate (PC) frame that minimizes thermal expansion. This design helps reduce sample loss, improve reproducibility, and enable lower reaction volumes—ultimately delivering greater efficiency and reagent cost savings in PCR workflows.

Manufactured in ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified facilities using USP Class VI materials, DuoMat plates meet the highest standards required for sensitive molecular biology applications.

Optimized Design for Accuracy and Stability

The unique DuoMat construction is specifically designed to improve PCR performance under demanding conditions. The PP wells ensure efficient heat transfer, while the PC frame provides structural rigidity, preventing warping during thermal cycling.

This combination results in:

• Reduced thermal expansion and improved plate stability
• More consistent well-to-well performance
• Lower risk of sample loss during cycling

Low-binding well surfaces further enhance performance by minimizing sample adhesion, making these plates ideal for low-volume and high-sensitivity applications.

Flexible Configurations for Workflow Compatibility

DuoMat PCR plates are designed to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of laboratory workflows, from manual setups to fully automated systems.

Available configurations include:

• 96-well plates in 0.1 mL (low profile) and 0.2 mL (standard profile)
• 384-well plates in 40 µL format for high-throughput applications
• Half-skirted and full-skirted designs for compatibility and handling
• Detachable plate options for workflow flexibility
• Clear, frosted, and white well options depending on detection needs

Select configurations are optimized for ABI and Roche systems, ensuring smooth integration into existing lab environments.

Designed for Automation & High-Throughput Workflows

The rigid polycarbonate frame provides the durability required for robotic handling and automated liquid systems, making DuoMat plates a strong choice for high-throughput labs.

These plates are compatible with a wide range of thermocyclers and automation platforms, supporting efficient scaling of PCR and qPCR workflows without compromising accuracy.

Contamination Control & Sample Integrity

Precision-molded wells and consistent geometry help maintain sample integrity across all wells. The low-binding surface reduces sample retention, improving recovery and consistency—especially in sensitive assays.

This makes DuoMat plates particularly effective for:

• qPCR and gene expression analysis
• Low-volume reactions
• High-sensitivity molecular workflows

Certified Quality & Purity

Each plate is manufactured and tested to ensure it meets strict laboratory standards for purity and performance.

Quality assurances include:

• DNase, RNase, and DNA free
• Non-cytotoxic and endotoxin free
• BSE/TSE free
• Certified free of animal-derived materials
• Molded and packaged in ISO 7 cleanroom environments
• Produced in cGMP-compliant facilities (21 CFR Part 820/821)
