PCR Tubes
Key Features and Specifications
- Materials: Constructed from high-purity, ultra-thin medical-grade polypropylene (PP) to ensure rapid thermal conductivity and precise temperature cycling.
- Cap Designs: Available as individual tubes or strips of 8/12 with attached or separate caps. Flat caps are optimized for real-time qPCR (allowing optical transmission and labeling), while domed caps provide a secure seal for heated lids.
- Purity Guarantee: Extensively certified free of DNase, RNase, human DNA, and PCR inhibitors. Non-pyrogenic options are available for sensitive applications.
- Volume Options: Typically available in 0.1 mL (low-profile for fast cyclers), 0.2 mL (standard), and 0.5 mL capacities.
- Color Variations: Standard clear tubes are ideal for standard endpoint PCR and visual sample inspection. Opaque or white tubes are highly recommended for qPCR, as they reduce background interference and maximize fluorescent signal detection.
Product Description
PCR tubes are premium, thin-walled plastic vessels designed for DNA amplification (PCR) and qPCR. Manufactured from medical-grade polypropylene, their ultra-thin walls ensure homogeneous heat transfer from the thermal cycler, while airtight lids prevent sample evaporation. They are certified free of DNA, DNase, RNase, and PCR inhibitors.
