We recommend using Opentrons Tough PCR Plates with the Opentrons Thermocycler Modules, as they are full-skirted and have a rigid polycarbonate frame with thin-walled polypropylene wells. The plate lift mechanism that releases the plate from the Thermocycler after cycling engages with the edges of full-skirted PCR plate so the plate can be easily removed. The rigid frame of the PCR plate is compatible with a gripper, prevents the plate from warping, and keeps the plate secure in the block when the lid opens.
