What is the size of a PCR tube?

What is the size of a PCR tube?

PCR Plastics Selector Selections include 0.2 and 0.5 ml individual tubes, low-profile and high-profile 0.2 ml tube strips with color options, and domed, flat, and ultraclear flat optical caps. Tubes and domed caps are available in strips of 8 or 12, and flat caps are available in strips of 8.

What tubes are used for PCR?

PCR tubes are small tubes made of high-quality virgin polypropylene with a conical bottom and snap-cap lead. They have uniform thin walls to facilitate efficient heat transfer to the sample. These tubes are autoclavable and work well with most thermal cyclers.

What is a PCR tube?

PCR tubes are small tubes designed for use in polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These tubes can be manufactured from a variety of materials, and are available in different capacities and RCF ratings. Applied Biosystems™ GeneAmp™ Thin-Walled Reaction Tubes enable fast heat transfer for precise PCR in 0.5 mL PCR Systems.

What is unique about the PCR tubes?

PCR Tubes are made of specially formulated high quality polypropylene. These tubes are idea for use in thermal transfer application. The unique cap design guarantees perfect fit which prevents sample evaporation during thermal cycling.

Why does your PCR tube need a cap?

So it ensures that the whole cap is heated, preventing condensation. The newer PCR machines will actually have lids that come down until they hit the caps, so they will always provide a good fit, no matter what brand of PCR tubes or 96-wells plates you are using.

How many microliters does a PCR tube hold?

While most modern PCR machines use 0.2 ml tubes, some models may require reactions in 0.5 ml tubes.

Why are thin walled tubes important for PCR?

PCR Tubes. These PCR tubes have thin, uniform walls to ensure consistent, precise thermal transfer for excellent results. BRAND PCR tubes are autoclavable and RNase-, DNase-, and DNA-free.

Are PCR tubes autoclavable?

PCR Tubes. BRAND PCR tubes are autoclavable and RNase-, DNase-, and DNA-free. BRAND PCR tubes are compatible with most thermal cyclers.

Can you reuse a PCR plate?

Yes, you can use the unused wells.

Why are PCR reagents kept on ice?

Keeping the reagents cold during PCR set up will protect the samples and reagents intact without any degradation, and will produce the most sensitive and consistent results. If the PCR set up is done without adequate care, the result can be misleading, and the experiment a waste of time.
