This useful tool is a machine-engineered metal block with 96 pins aligned central to each well of a 96 well plate. The pierce plate's 96 pins pierce every well of a heat or adhesive-sealed 96 well PCR or microplate (pierceable seals only). Enables instant access to samples with a single or multichannel pipette or automated system. The pierce plate can be cleaned between uses to avoid contamination by using most cleaning agents that are suitable for use on aluminium e.g. RNase removal solutions, bleach or UV treatment.
