FAQs

When should I use a 96-well rack instead of smaller tube holders?

A 96-well rack is ideal for workflows involving high sample volumes, such as PCR setup or screening applications. It allows consistent organization and parallel processing. Smaller racks may be more practical for low-throughput tasks, but this format supports efficiency and scalability in molecular biology workflows.

Is this rack compatible with both tube strips and individual tubes?

Yes, it is designed to accommodate both formats, offering flexibility depending on your workflow. This allows users to switch between strip-based and individual-sample handling without changing racks, making it especially useful in labs that run varied protocols or frequently adapt processes.

How does the alphanumeric grid improve sample tracking?

The alphanumeric labeling system enables precise identification of each well position, helping reduce errors during sample setup and analysis. It supports easy mapping to experimental layouts or data sheets, which is particularly valuable in workflows where accurate sample tracking is essential for reliable results.

What are the benefits of the hinged and removable lid design?

The hinged lid provides protection when closed, while the ability to lay it flat or remove it ensures unobstructed access during pipetting. This design helps streamline workflow efficiency by minimizing interference, especially when working with multichannel pipettes or handling multiple samples at once.

What are the best practices for maintaining and reusing this rack?

Clean the rack according to your lab’s protocols and autoclave when sterilization is required. Ensure it is fully dry before reuse to prevent contamination. Avoid using damaged racks that may affect tube stability, and store them in a clean environment to maintain performance across repeated uses.
