Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microplate compensating defects of conventional microplates for PCR made of a polymer material. SOLUTION: The microplate produced from a thermally conductive material and methods for preparing and using the microplate are described herein. Basically, the microplate has a series of wells formed within a frame which enables the wells to have relatively rigid walls which in turn makes it easier to handle the microplate. The thermally conductive material can be a metal or a mixture of a polymer (e.g. polypropylene or LCP (liquid crystalline polymer)) with one or more thermally conductive additives (e.g. carbon fiber, a metal or a ceramic). Also described herein is a tube produced from a thermally conductive material and methods for preparing and using the tube. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
