ABgene Strips of 12 Low Profile Tubes & Flat Caps is a product from ABgene, ThermoFisher Scientific. Polymerase chain reaction is a technique in molecular biology used for multiplying copies of a strand of DNA. The reaction uses a special thermostable DNA polymerase, nucleotide primers, dNTPs, cofactors and cycles of temperatures to amplify a certain segment of DNA. PCR is used for diagnosis, DNA fingerprinting, in forensic science, research, etc. The ABgene Strips of 12 Low Profile Tubes & Flat Caps are provided for performing PCR reactions in thermal cyclers. The product has the following properties:
- These cap strips are compatible with 0.2 mL thermal cyclers.
- The design of the tubes allows lower dead-space between the samples contained in the tube and the heated lid of the thermal cycler.
- The design prevents condensation on the walls of the tube, thus allowing better retention of sample volume and overall increase in PCR efficiency.
- The low-profile format of the product is better for lower reaction of volumes of 20 L.
- The strips are labelled from A-H to allow better sample recognition and easier workflow.
- These tubes and caps can be cut into individual tubes and caps to provide a broader range of flexibility.
- The wells have a maximum volume capacity of 150 L.
