Individual PCR Tubes, Strip Tubes, and Strip Caps |
PCR tubes contribute to the reproducibility and accuracy of PCR experiments. Well-designed and well-engineered PCR tubes enable efficient heat transfer, provide sample protection, impart leak-proof sealing, and are compatible with a wide variety of thermal cyclers.
Tubes are an excellent choice for PCR/qPCR experiments from low to medium throughputs. Individual and strip tubes are two of the most common formats of PCR tubes.
Figure 1. Various formats PCR tubes, strip tubes, and strip tube caps.
The Thermo Scientific EasyStrip Plus Tube Strips come with individually attached caps. The attached caps are effective in preventing well-to-well sample contamination. Each tube is identified by an alphabet lettered on to the cap hinge which allows for easy identification. These are available with flat caps for PCR and optically clear for qPCR.
Cap strips are used to seal multiple tubes simultaneously. Each strip is a set of individual caps attached together and can be used to seal PCR tube strips and PCR plates. Cap strips are convenient sealing solutions to help prevent sample loss and contamination. The caps are generally available in strips of 8 or 12 and may be domed, flat, mats, or ultra clear. These cap strips are compatible with Thermo Scientific PCR strip tubes and plates. The commonly used cap strips are found in Table 4.
