Axygen 12 Tube Strip 0.2 ml with Flat Cap Thin Walled Total of 160 Strips

Description

Axygen PCR-0212-FCP-C 0.2 ml 12-Tube PCR Strip with Flat Caps (Clear)

The Axygen PCR-0212-FCP-C is a high-performance 0.2 ml PCR strip tube assembly designed for precise thermal transfer and consistent sample recovery. Featuring ultra-thin, consistent wall thickness, these tubes accelerate heat transfer between the thermal cycler block and the reaction mix, leading to shorter cycle times and more reliable amplification results. This 12-tube strip configuration is ideal for low-to-medium throughput laboratories and is supplied with optically clear flat caps. These caps provide a secure, evaporative-resistant seal while offering a flat surface for easy sample labeling. Manufactured from 100% virgin polypropylene, these tubes are certified to be free of detectable RNase, DNase, and pyrogens.

Technical Performance and Design

• Ultra-Thin Wall Technology: Precision-molded walls ensure rapid and uniform heat distribution across all 12 tubes, minimizing well-to-well variability and improving PCR efficiency.

• High-Integrity Flat Caps: The included flat caps are designed to create a tight, leak-proof seal that prevents sample evaporation during high-temperature denaturation steps. Their flat profile is optimized for compatibility with heated lids.

• Superior Optical Clarity: The “Clear” (C) formulation allows for easy visual verification of sample volume and ensures that the tubes are suitable for applications requiring visual inspection.

• Non-Reactive Polypropylene: Constructed from medical-grade virgin polypropylene to ensure low protein binding and prevent the leaching of additives that could inhibit sensitive enzymatic reactions.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Standard PCR & RT-PCR: The 12-tube format provides a flexible middle ground between individual tubes and 96-well plates, making it perfect for master mix testing and small-scale experiments.

• Heated Lid Compatibility: The robust design of the flat caps prevents “cap-popping” and withstands the mechanical pressure of the thermal cycler’s heated lid, maintaining seal integrity throughout the run.

• Easy Sample Identification: The flat-top cap design provides an ideal surface for marking with lab pens or applying small adhesive labels, reducing the risk of sample mix-ups.

• Automation Friendly: The strip dimensions and rigid polypropylene construction allow for easy handling with manual multichannel pipettes and integration into semi-automated workflows.
