Nunc Tape 8 for NucleoLink and TopYield Strips 2 Packs of 480 Strips Each

The Nunc Tape 8 249719 NucleoLink TopYield Strips are specialized consumables designed for high-performance solid-phase PCR and DNA hybridization assays. These strips are part of the Nunc "Tape 8" system, meaning they consist of eight individual wells connected in a strip format, often used in frames that mimic the standard 96-well plate footprint.

The defining feature of this product is the NucleoLink surface. This is a specialized, activated surface designed to covalently bind DNA or RNA residues via their 5' ends (specifically using carbodiimide condensation). This covalent attachment is much stronger than simple adsorption, allowing for vigorous washing and high temperatures without losing the target molecules. This makes the strips ideal for applications like solid-phase PCR (where primers are bound to the wall) or ELISA-like hybridization assays.

The TopYield design refers to the specific geometry of the strips, typically featuring thin walls for rapid heat transfer (essential for thermal cycling) and often a specific shape to maximize signal detection. These strips are typically made of heat-resistant plastic suitable for the extreme temperature cycling of PCR.
