Thermo Scientific™ Low Profile Tubes in strips of 8 are precision-engineered for optimal thermal transfer and condensation control during PCR and qPCR workflows. Designed for use with 0.2 mL thermal cycler blocks, these low-profile tubes reduce the ‘dead space’ between the heated lid and sample, minimizing condensation along the tube wall. This helps preserve reaction volume and enhances overall reaction efficiency—particularly in low-volume assays below 20 µL.
Available in natural (AB0771) and white (AB0771W) polypropylene formats, these tubes are ideal for a variety of molecular biology applications. The white variant offers increased reflectivity and is particularly recommended for luminescence-based assays due to improved signal consistency and assay sensitivity.
Both versions are compatible with Thermo Scientific™ Flat, Domed, and Ultra Clear Cap Strips (sold separately) and are supplied in convenient 10 packs of 12 strips (total 120 strips).
Key Features and Benefits
- Low Profile Design: Improves thermal transfer efficiency and reduces evaporation by minimizing space between the sample and heated lid.
- Strip Format: 8 connected tubes per strip with A–H labeled end tabs for clear sample identification.
- High-Quality Polypropylene: Ensures chemical resistance and low biomolecule binding; certified DNA/RNase-free.
-
Color Options:
- Natural (AB0771): Suitable for standard fluorescence-based assays.
- White (AB0771W): Ideal for luminescence-based detection workflows.
- Cap Compatibility: Sealable with Flat, Domed, or Ultra Clear Cap Strips for flexible experimental requirements.
- Convenient Packaging: Supplied in packs of 120 strips (10 × 12-strip packs) for high-throughput workflows.
Applications
- Endpoint PCR
- qPCR / Real-Time PCR
- Low-volume thermal cycling (≤ 20 µL)
- Fluorescent or luminescent signal detection assays
- Genotyping and gene expression studies
