Lower carbon footprint while maintaining quality and performance
Thermo Scientific Snap Cap Microcentrifuge Tubes, Sustain Series, are an indispensable tool in every laboratory setting, designed with versatility and efficiency to help ensure optimal performance in sample preparation, product transfer, and short-term storage. Notably, these tubes are low DNA binding, helping ensure minimal sample loss, and free from PCR inhibitors, UV leachables, and human DNA, making them excellent for sensitive applications. Furthermore, they are more sustainable – with biobased resin and International Sustainability and Carbon (ISCC) PLUS certification, underscoring their greener design.
DNA Integrity
The importance of low DNA binding microcentrifuge tubes cannot be overstated. These tubes are specifically engineered to help minimize the adhesion of DNA to the tube walls, which is crucial in preserving the quantity and quality of DNA samples during various laboratory procedures. Enabling that maximum DNA recovery is achieved and reducing the risk of sample loss and contamination. Particularly vital in applications such as PCR, sequencing, and cloning, where even small losses can significantly impact the results. Additionally, the assurance that these tubes are free from PCR inhibitors, UV leachables, and human DNA further enhances the reliability of experimental outcomes by preventing any potential interference with sensitive assays. Overall, the use of low DNA binding microcentrifuge tubes is essential for maintaining the integrity and consistency of DNA samples, helping lead to more accurate and reproducible results in molecular biology research.
