For fully-skirted, low profile 96-well plates
This adaptor plate is designed to allow use of automation-friendly skirted PCR plates
in the ABI 3700 DNA analyzer. It can be used with Hard-Shell® and Microseal® 96-well PCR
plates. The adaptor plate fits precisely in the model 3700 analyzer in the same location as the
base plates supplied with the instrument.
The software for the model 3700 analyzer has parameters defining the depths of the wells,
so the pipet can reach the sample without hitting the well bottoms. These parameters are
factory-set for ABI plates. When using Bio-Rad plates with the PCR plate adaptor, new
coordinates must be programmed into the 3700 database (ask for instructions if necessary.)
