Feature Of PCR Tube Strips

  • High-quality material: Made of medical-grade polypropylene (PP), heat-resistant (autoclavable from -80°C to 121°C), DNase/RNase-free, and pyrogen-free.
  • Thin-wall design: The tube wall is uniform and extremely thin, ensuring rapid heat transfer and improving amplification efficiency.
  • It can replace Eppendorf pcr 8 strip tubes​ and axygen pcr strip tubes.
  • Various sizes: Commonly available in 0.1 mL and 0.2 mL volumes, compatible with mainstream PCR instruments and real-time PCR instruments.
  • Cap options: Optional flat caps are available for qPCR fluorescence signal detection. Available with either integrated or detachable caps. Available in white or transparent.
  • Compatible with all types of PCR tubes, 96-well PCR plates, plate sealing films, and optically clear films.
  • Excellent optical performance: High transparency ensures fluorescence detection sensitivity, making it suitable for qPCR.
  • Strip-type connection design: Convenient operation, reduces sample cross-contamination, and improves batch loading efficiency.

FAQ Of PCR Tubes Strips​

How to use 8 strip pcr tube?

Take out the pre-cooled PCR reagents (such as Taq enzyme, dNTPs, primers, etc.) from the -20℃ refrigerator or freezer, and place them on an ice box to slowly thaw to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Prepare sterile pipette tips (such as 200 μL or 1000 μL tips), rnase free pcr tubes, PCR Tube Box and markers.
Use a micropipette and sterile pipette tips to add template DNA, primers, dNTPs, buffer and Taq enzyme to the sterile pcr tubes in sequence.

Note: Change the tip for each reagent to avoid cross contamination! Gently flick the tube wall or use a small centrifuge for instant centrifugation to allow the liquid to sink to the bottom of the tube.

Place tubes pcr: Place the prepared qpcr strip tubes in the heating module of the PCR instrument and ensure that the tube caps are closed (if using 8 strip pcr tube or 96 well plates, they must match the instrument wells).
Set the temperature and time for denaturation, annealing, and extension according to experimental requirements.
If you need to temporarily store PCR products, you can transfer the PCR tubes to a -20℃ freezer for short-term storage to avoid DNA degradation.
When taking part of the product for electrophoresis detection, use a micropipette to absorb the sample to avoid contamination of the remaining product.

Supporting consumables and precautions
Pipette tip selection:Use filter tips (to prevent aerosol contamination) or low adsorption tips to improve sample addition accuracy.

Frozen storage:Unused reagents or PCR products need to be stored in cryopreservation boxes and clearly marked (such as date, sample name).

Single-tube PCR tubes are suitable for small-batch experiments or independent reaction systems, while 8 strip pcr tubes are more suitable for parallel testing and medium- to high-throughput experiments. They offer more efficient operation and can be used with 96-well PCR plates.

Yes. SDLABIO offers clear flat-lid strips suitable for fluorescence signal acquisition and compatible with real-time quantitative PCR instruments.

  • Because the clear, transparent tubes of the 8-strip pcr tubes allow for easy and intuitive observation of the volume and state of the reaction solution within the tubes, they are commonly used in conventional PCR experiments and are also suitable for real-time quantitative PCR, where fluorescence signal sensitivity is less critical. However, in fluorescence detection, transparent materials partially transmit and scatter light, potentially reducing detection sensitivity.
  • White 8-tube PCR strips(qpcr optical tubes) are specifically designed for real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Their opaque white tube walls effectively reflect fluorescent signals, reducing background interference and improving detection accuracy and sensitivity. They are ideal for low-abundance genes or quantitative analysis. However, white tubes prevent direct visibility of the reaction mixture and are generally slightly more expensive than clear tubes.
  • An pcr strip tubes with attached caps and tubes features a single, integrated tube body and cap. This eliminates the need to find or match caps, making it more convenient and reducing the risk of sample contamination during operation. This design is suitable for both rapid experiments and routine PCR, significantly improving efficiency when working with large sample volumes. However, its limitation is that it offers limited flexibility when only partial cap opening or replacement is required.
  • PCR strip tubes with individually attached caps​ feature separate tube bodies and caps, allowing for flexible opening and closing, or replacing caps as needed. This facilitates more precise operation in specific experiments and is easily compatible with specialized cap types like optical flat caps, making them suitable for demanding experiments like fluorescent quantitative PCR. However, this design requires extra attention to sealing to prevent evaporation or contamination from loose caps, and can also be slightly more time-consuming to operate.

The main differences between the 0.1 mL and 8 well pcr tube strips​ lie in tube capacity and applicable experimental types. The 0.1 mL sterile pcr tube strips are smaller and thinner, providing greater contact area between the reaction system and the heating block, resulting in faster heat transfer and greater temperature uniformity. They are ideal for real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), which requires rapid temperature ramping and high-sensitivity detection. They are also often used with low-volume reactions, helping to conserve reagents.

In contrast, the 0.2ml pcr 8-strip tubes with attached cap are more common and has a larger capacity, making it suitable for routine PCR experiments and most standardized thermal cyclers. It can meet both routine DNA amplification and some qPCR applications. In other words, if the focus of the experiment is rapid cycling and high-sensitivity quantitative detection, the 0.1 mL 8-strip pcr tubes​ are recommended; for routine amplification and routine testing, the 0.2 mL strip is more versatile.

We provide maximum volume of pcr tubes are0.5 ml pcr tubes​, 8 strip pcr tubes or pcr plate​, which can support large-volume reactions of 100-200 μL, but attention should be paid to the thermal cover design that is compatible with the PCR instrument.
