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

Thermo Scientific AB-1114 PCR Tube Strip – 12-Tube, 0.2 mL, Thin Wall, with Flat Cap Strips

The Thermo Scientific AB-1114 (ABgene) is a high-integrity 12-tube PCR strip system designed for optimal thermal performance and secure sample containment. Manufactured from medical-grade virgin polypropylene, these 0.2 mL tubes feature "Thin-Wall" technology, which provides a consistent and rapid heat transfer from the thermal block to the reaction mix for increased PCR sensitivity and specificity. The AB-1114 kit is supplied with separate 12-cap flat strips, which are optically clear to facilitate fluorescence detection in real-time PCR (qPCR) applications. This 12-well format is specifically engineered to fit standard 96-well thermal cycler blocks, allowing for streamlined high-throughput workflows. Certified free of RNase, DNase, and human DNA, these strips are the premier choice for demanding genomic applications, including sequencing library preparation and diagnostic assays.

Technical Performance and Design

• Thin-Wall Thermal Transfer: Precision-molded walls ensure maximum thermal homogeneity across the entire 12-tube strip, minimizing "edge effects" and improving reaction consistency.

• 12-Tube High-Density Format: Aligned with the standardized 96-well footprint, these strips allow for the rapid processing of full rows or columns, significantly reducing setup time compared to individual tubes or 8-tube strips.

• Optically Clear Flat Caps: The included 12-cap strips feature a flat, crystal-clear surface that allows for the precise transmission of light, making them fully compatible with top-reading qPCR and ddPCR instruments.

• Evaporation-Proof Sealing: The cap strips are engineered to provide a tight, mechanical fit that resists the high internal pressures of thermal cycling, preventing sample loss and protecting against cross-well contamination.
