Description

Technical field:

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PCR plates, in particular to an anti-pollution PCR plate. Background technology:

[0002] At present, in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, it is often necessary to use high-throughput deep-well culture plates (such as 96-well plates, 384-well plates, etc.). When using deep-well culture plates to culture certain fungi, it is sometimes necessary to replace the culture medium for induction, or replace the buffer. When culturing certain bacteria or yeasts, it is sometimes necessary to remove the culture medium from each deep well in subsequent operations, or after the lysis treatment, centrifugation is required to remove cell debris. In short, in many cases, the substances in the deep-well plate need to be separated by solid and liquid. In order to avoid liquid or sample contamination in different reaction tubes, the conventional operation is to use a sealing film or a silicone cover to seal directly on the PCR plate. However, the sealing film is directly coated with a glue layer on the PET layer, and the glue layer is continuous and cannot avoid the opening of the detection hole, which is easy to cause sample cross-contamination. When using a silicone cover for sealing, due to the soft structure of the silicone cover body, its protrusion is not easy to accurately plug into the detection hole, and the sealing effect is poor. The sealing film or silicone cover installed directly on the PCR plate for sealing is easy to fall off, and there is also a risk of sample exposure infection, which cannot meet the needs of long-distance transportation and is inconvenient to use. Utility model content:

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an anti-contamination PCR plate in view of the deficiencies in the prior art, which has a good sealing effect and can effectively ensure that the samples in each detection hole of the PCR plate can be sealed under different usage situations, thereby reducing the risk of cross contamination.

The silicone sealing layer is provided to prevent the detection liquid from spilling during transportation and causing cross-contamination. At the same time, each sealing component corresponds to the detection hole in the PCR plate body one by one. Even if it is opened and closed multiple times, it will not be accidentally plugged, which effectively avoids cross-contamination of detection samples in the PCR plate body.
