QIAGEN Multiwell-Plate Holder, black

Built for automated QIAGEN benchtop instruments, the black Multiwell-Plate Holder secures SBS-format microplates in the plate carrier during nucleic acid extraction, PCR setup, and primary sample handling workflows. Its anodized aluminum construction provides rigidity and vibration resistance, while the matte black finish minimizes reflected light during fluorescence or luminescence readout. A spring-loaded retention mechanism locks each plate in reproducible position run after run, and the holder's thermal conductivity supports uniform heat transfer across the plate footprint during thermal cycling protocols. Routine cleaning with 70% ethanol or a laboratory-grade disinfectant is recommended; the holder withstands autoclaving at 121°C for sterility-critical workflows. Laboratory teams using QIAGEN automated sample preparation systems can integrate this plate holder directly into existing protocols without adapter plates or workflow modifications.
