twin.tec PCR Plate 96 and 384
Eppendorf® twin.tec PCR plates give you the advantages that come from combining two materials: the wells are manufactured from virgin polypropylene, the most successful material used for PCR tubes; polycarbonate, an especially rigid material, forms the plate deck and the skirt. This one-piece design is achieved by an innovative injection moulding process, twin-shot technology. Polycarbonate enhances the mechanical stability an…

library prep for NGS
The size of skirt and the colored options make it helpful for this very complicated sample prep. The partial skirt allows for transfer to multiple platforms. Keeping track of multiple different master mix plates is easier with color coding.

Eppendorf® twin.tec PCR plates give you the advantages that come from combining two materials: the wells are manufactured from virgin polypropylene, the most successful material used for PCR tubes; polycarbonate, an especially rigid material, forms the plate deck and the skirt. This one-piece design is achieved by an innovative injection moulding process, twin-shot technology.
Polycarbonate enhances the mechanical stability and facilitates handling for the twin.tec PCR plates. Its enhanced stiffness guarantees improved plane parallelism in the plate deck before, during and after PCR, thus ensuring a more secure seal. Minimum sagging of the skirt makes the plate the ideal choice for use in automation and in conjunction with robots. All these features are nevertheless of equal use to molecular biologists working in manual operation, because the visible outcome is a batch of more reliable PCR results.
Polypropylene gives the wells an inert, non-wetting surface that prevents DNA, RNA and enzymes from binding and improves recovery even when you are working with the most minute volumes. Compared to the common thin-walled tubes, Eppendorf twin.tec PCR plates offer a further 20% reduction in wall thickness. This provides an ideal snug fit for the well against the thermal block and ensures virtually undisturbed heat transfer from the block to the sample. Raised well rims optimize sealing effectivity and reduce the risk of cross contamination. All commonly used sealing methods can be applied: cap strips, adhesive films and foils - and for best protection against evaporation, heat sealing.
Eppendorf's certified purity standard - "PCR clean" - guarantees that the product is free of human DNA, DNase, RNase and PCR inhibitors.

Move from manual to automated NGS library prep, without the steep learning curve
Preparing high-quality NGS libraries is essential for successful sequencing. However, as sample numbers grow and pressure increases to deliver consistent results, many labs are turning to automation to boost throughput, reduce hands-on time, and improve reproducibility. If you're relying on manual methods – or just beginning to explore automation – this webinar will show you how easy it can be to make the switch, streamline your workflow, and set your lab up for long-term success.
In this free webinar, join Ebony Courtney and Kirk Mantione for a practical guide to automating gold-standard Illumina library prep workflows on the epMotion® liquid handling system from Eppendorf, a user-friendly solution that saves hands-on time, reduces human error, and delivers reliable results with minimal setup.
Join the session to learn:
- How to optimize Illumina library prep for greater accuracy and reproducibility
- How Eppendorf epMotion simplifies liquid handling for NGS workflows
- How to boost efficiency and reduce error by automating key NGS steps
- What to expect when getting started with automation – no prior experience needed
The webinar will focus on Illumina DNA Prep, Illumina DNA Prep with Enrichment, and Illumina RNA Prep with Enrichment workflows due to their universal application in genomics research.
Who should attend? Genomic researchers, NGS workflow specialists, and clinicians currently using Illumina core library prep kits who are looking to automate for the first time or scale up existing workflows.
