PCR Tubes
The
Importance of a Thin-wall tube for a PCR Reaction
Not enough researchers realize that the thin-wall tube
they use for their thermal cycling reaction could be the cause of problems
that greatly influence the outcome of the run. Too much evaporation of the
reaction volume disturbs the concentrations and relations of the PCR
components, and should therefore be avoided. The amount of evaporation of a
tube is directly related to the uniformity of the wall. Non-uniformity of
the walls increases evaporation dramatically. Also the properties of the cap
are of influence.
Flexibility of the tube material determines the fitting of the tube in the
block, and is directly related to the thermal transfer quality. The more
even the heat is distributed through the wall the better a reaction
performs.

they will fit your needs.
The EU
(Extreme Uniform) Thin-Wall Tube
BIOplastics
(member of the BIOzym Group) designers have chosen the highest qualities of
virgin polypropylene, and defined a custom-made mix to ensure a perfect
balance between transparency, impact resistance and gas-tightness. The
result is called the EU (Extreme Uniform) Single 0.2 ml Thin-Wall Tube
with attached Thin-Wall Anti-Contamination Cap. Being the most
innovative BIOplastics product ever, it is now available for testing.
