MicroAmp™ Optical Cap Strips are designed to fit on MicroAmp™ tube strips and 96-well plates. They have a flat-top profile and are suitable for real-time PCR. For end-point PCR applications, please see our MicroAmp™ Cap Strips (e.g., cat. no. N8010535), which have a domed-top profile.

Features:

• Will not interfere with sample reading
• Provides tight seal to minimize evaporation
• Easy to apply and remove

Minimize Evaporation
Use MicroAmp™ Caps Strips to seal the tubes containing your precious samples. This will reduce the possibility of contamination among sample wells and help ensure reliable results.

Easy to Use
Use the MicroAmp™ Cap Installing Tool to push the caps down and form a tight seal. When ready, just peel away the caps using the tabs at the end.

The Optical caps have been redesigned with improved features. The new design has an improved sealing geometry while still featuring excellent optical clarity and low fluorescent background.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can I run strip tubes on the ViiA 7 instrument?

Yes. Make sure to use the appropriate matching parts. For the 96-well standard block, use the standard 96-well plate adapter (Cat. No. 4459845), the retainer tray for (0.2 mL) tubes, and Optical 8-Tube Strips and Caps (Cat. No. 4316567 and 4323032). For the 96-well Fast block, use the Fast 96-well plate adapter (Cat. No. 4462078), the retainer tray (Cat. No. 4379983), and Fast (0.1 mL) Optical 8-tube Caps and Strips (Cat. Nos. 4323032 and 4358293).

What is the difference between the MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Covers and the MicroAmp Optical Caps? Can they be used interchangeably?

The MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Covers (P/N 4311971) have a higher optical efficiency than the MicroAmp Optical Caps, (8 caps/strip) (P/N 4323032). They can be used instead of the MicroAmp Optical Caps only when using the MicroAmp 96-Well Reaction Plate with Barcode (P/N 4306737, 4309849) or the MicroAmp Optical 96-Well Reaction Plate (P/N N801-0560). The Optical Adhesive Covers cannot be used with the MicroAmp Optical Tubes.
