Plates and Tubes
Make sure that you use the correct reaction plate for your system:
System Reaction Plate
7500 system • MicroAmp
®
Optical 96-Well Reaction Plate (PN 4306737, also called
standard reaction plates)
•MicroAmp
®
Optical Tubes without Caps, 0.2-mL (PN N8010933, also
called standard reaction tubes)
•MicroAmp
®
Reaction Tubes with Caps, 0.2-mL (PN N2070540)
•MicroAmp
™
Optical 8-Tube Strip, 0.2-mL (PN 4316567, also called
standard reaction tube strips)
IMPORTANT! Fast reaction plates and tubes do not fit into the standard
sample block correctly and will result in loss of data.
7500 Fast
system
•MicroAmp
™
Fast Optical 96-Well Reaction Plate, (PN 4346906, also called
Fast reaction plates)
•MicroAmp
™
Fast 8-Tube Strip, 0.1-mL (PN 4358293, also called Fast
reaction tube strips)
IMPORTANT! Standard reaction plates and tube strips will not properly
function and might be crushed when using the Fast sample block.
