Thermo Scientific 12 Tube Strip Thin Wall with Flat Cap Strip 0.2 ml 90 Strips

The Thermo Scientific AB-1114 12 Tube Strip is a set of twelve individual thin-walled PCR tubes connected in a convenient strip format. Each tube has a 0.2 mL capacity, a standard volume commonly used in PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and other molecular biology applications. These tubes are designed for procedures requiring precise temperature control and efficient heat transfer, both essential for successful DNA amplification.

The key feature of these tube strips is their thin-wall design. This design facilitates rapid and efficient heat transfer between the thermal cycler block and the sample contained within the tube. This rapid heat transfer is crucial for achieving optimal PCR amplification by ensuring that the samples quickly reach and maintain the necessary temperatures for each stage of the PCR cycle.

The tubes are connected by a thin plastic strip, which allows for simultaneous handling of twelve samples at once. This strip format significantly streamlines workflows and increases throughput in laboratories processing multiple samples. The flat cap strip provides a secure seal to prevent sample evaporation and contamination during thermal cycling, ensuring the integrity of the reactions. The flat surface of the caps also allows for easy labeling or writing, facilitating sample identification and organization.

The Thermo Scientific AB-1114 12 Tube Strip is a valuable consumable for laboratories performing PCR, qPCR, and other molecular biology techniques that benefit from precise temperature control, efficient sample handling, and minimized contamination risk.
