What Is the Volume of the 384 Well Plate for PCR? What Is the Volume of the 384 Well Plate for PCR?

The Standard 384-well PCR plate is compatible with the majority of 384 block PCR and sequencing instruments. It has a maximum well volume of 40 µL and a working volume of 25 µL.


The 384 well PCR plate volume for qPCR is determined by multiplying the volume of each individual well by the number of wells. This gives a total volume of between 1920 and 7680 microliters, or 1.92 to 7.68 milliliters.

384-Well PCR Plates FAQs

  • 384 well PCR plate vs 96 well PCR plate

    One major difference is the number of wells. The 384 well plate can accommodate four times more samples as the 96 well plate. Another difference is the well volume. Generally, the wells in a 384 well plate are smaller than those in a 96 well plate. The standard well volume for a 96 well plate is around 300 μl, while for a 384 well plate it is around 40 μl. This means that if you require less sample volume, a 384 well plate can help you conserve your reagents. The smaller well volume also means that a 384 well plate can offer higher sensitivity and precision compared to a 96 well plate. This is especially important for experiments that require small amounts of precious or rare substances. Another advantage of using 384 well plates is that they can offer higher throughput, as the number of samples that can be processed at once is much greater. However, the smaller well volume can also make it more difficult to handle and pipette liquid samples accurately.

  • What is the minimum volume in 384 well?

    The minimum 384 well PCR plate volume is determined by several factors, including the size and depth of the well as well as the equipment being used for liquid handling. In general, the minimum volume for a 384 well is typically around 5-10 microliters.


    It is important to note that when working with small volumes, accuracy and precision become critical factors. Therefore, it is essential to use high-quality pipettes and calibrate them regularly to ensure accurate and consistent liquid handling.

  • What Are the Benefits and Features of 384-Well PCR Plates?

    1. High Throughput and Efficiency

    384-well PCR plates are designed for high-throughput applications, allowing researchers to process a large number of samples simultaneously. This significantly increases efficiency and productivity in the lab, making them ideal for large-scale studies and screening projects.


    2. Enhanced Thermal Conductivity

    These plates are made from high-quality materials that ensure uniform thermal conductivity. This feature is crucial for achieving consistent and reliable PCR results, as it minimizes temperature variations across wells.


    3. Compatibility and Versatility

    384-well PCR plates are compatible with a wide range of thermal cyclers and automated liquid handling systems. This versatility makes them a preferred choice among PCR consumables manufacturers, ensuring that they can be seamlessly integrated into various laboratory workflows.


  • Does Yikang offer 384 well plate qPCR?

    Yes, we do. The qPCR 384 well plate is a specialized version of the 384 well PCR plates, specifically designed for quantitative PCR (qPCR) with higher optical transparency for easier fluorescent signal detection.
