Editing Microplate (section)

====Skirts ====
Microplates used for [[Polymerase chain reaction|PCR]] are designed to have a notably thinner wall thickness than standard ANSI/SLAS microplates (to allow for better [[thermal conduction]]), and to come in a few different "skirt" types: full-skirt, half-skirt or semi-skirted, and unskirted or no-skirted. The skirt is analogous to the [[#Footprint_&_flange_(standardized)|footprint & flange]] of the ANSI/SLAS standards, so while most full-skirt PCR microplates may be ANSI/SLAS compliant, other deviations such as semi-skirted or others, are not compliant ANSI/SLAS standards.
