Thermo Scientific Strips of 8 Low Profile Tubes with Flat Caps reduces the 'dead space' between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the sample. This eliminates condensation on the side wall of the tube, preventing reduction in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction. Low profile products are especially recommended for use with reaction volumes below 20 μL.

Features of Thermo Scientific Strips of 8 Low Profile Tubes with Flat Caps

• Suitable for 0.2 mL thermal cycler blocks
• 150 μL maximum tube capacity when capped
• Low profile to reduce dead space and increase PCR efficiency
• Labelled A–H end tabs (8-strip)
• 10 packs of 12 strips

Applications
• PCR

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

When should I use a Thermo Scientific low profile PCR plastic?

We recommend Thermo Scientific low profile PCR plates and tubes for reaction volumes below 20 µL. The low profile design minimizes the airspace between the PCR reaction and reduces evaporation effects, thereby increasing PCR efficiency in low volume reactions.

What is a low profile Thermo Scientific plate/tube?

Low profile Thermo Scientific PCR plastics have shorter wells than the standard profile plastics, decreasing the “dead space” between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the sample. This eliminates condensation on the side wall of the tube, preventing reduction in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction.

Are Thermo Scientific ABgene plastics endotoxin-free?

They are not certified endotoxin-free. However, their entire production process, from molding to final packaging, is carried out in a Class 100,000 clean room under ISO 9001 guidelines. All Thermo Scientific PCR plastics are certified free from RNase, DNase and human DNA.

Are Thermo Scientific ABgene plastics sterile?

Thermo Scientific Abgene plastics are not typically sterilized as their entire production process, from molding to final packaging, is carried out in a Class 100,000 clean room under ISO 9001 guidelines. All Thermo Scientific PCR plastics are certified free from RNase, DNase and human DNA. In contrast, during typical non-clean room production, plastics are exposed to many contaminants including dust, bacterial cells, and DNA. The plastics are then sterilized to kill bacteria and inactivate RNases and DNases, but sterilization does not remove dust or DNA contamination. The dust particles left behind can inhibit PCR, and the damaged DNA fragments can still act as templates, leading to non-specific amplification.
