0.1 mL Low-Profile 8-Strip PCR Tubes with Clear Flat Caps

The Puretest 0.1 mL low-profile 8-strip PCR tubes reduce the space between the sample and heated lid while keeping eight reactions aligned for efficient multichannel setup. Clear flat cap strips provide individual well closure for compatible low-profile PCR and qPCR blocks.

  • Low-profile 0.1 mL format: Reduces headspace for efficient low-volume thermal cycling.
  • Eight connected tubes: Aligns one complete row for multichannel pipetting and sample tracking.
  • Uniform thin walls: Support fast and consistent heat transfer across all eight reactions.
  • Clear flat cap strip: Provides secure closure and visual access to the reaction wells.
  • Virgin polypropylene: Selected for chemical resistance, low binding and thermal performance.

PRODUCT DETAILS

0.1 mL Low-Profile 8-Strip PCR Tubes with Clear Flat Caps for Reliable PCR Amplification

The Puretest 0.1 mL low-profile 8-strip PCR tubes reduce the space between the sample and heated lid while keeping eight reactions aligned for efficient multichannel setup. Clear flat cap strips provide individual well closure for compatible low-profile PCR and qPCR blocks.

Eight low-profile conical reaction tubes are connected at standard row pitch. A separate flat eight-cap strip closes the tubes with uniform pressure. The reduced tube height decreases gas space above low-volume reactions and can reduce condensation on the sidewall when used with the correct heated lid.

individual PCR tube and 0.1 mL and 0.2 mL eight-tube PCR strip family
Puretest PCR tube family: individual 0.2 mL tube, low-profile 0.1 mL 8-strip and standard-profile 0.2 mL 8-strip formats.

Product Highlights

  • Low-profile 0.1 mL format: Reduces headspace for efficient low-volume thermal cycling.
  • Eight connected tubes: Aligns one complete row for multichannel pipetting and sample tracking.
  • Uniform thin walls: Support fast and consistent heat transfer across all eight reactions.
  • Clear flat cap strip: Provides secure closure and visual access to the reaction wells.
  • Virgin polypropylene: Selected for chemical resistance, low binding and thermal performance.
  • Compatible qPCR potential: Suitable for validated fluorescence workflows when cap optics and tube color match the instrument.
  • Flexible packaging: Pack quantities, sterile status and OEM labeling can be discussed.
  • Instrument-fitting support: Samples and drawings are available before assay validation.

Tube and Cap Structure

Eight low-profile conical reaction tubes are connected at standard row pitch. A separate flat eight-cap strip closes the tubes with uniform pressure. The reduced tube height decreases gas space above low-volume reactions and can reduce condensation on the sidewall when used with the correct heated lid.

Seat the cap strip from one end to the other while supporting the tube strip on a flat rack. For qPCR, keep the flat cap surfaces free from fingerprints and confirm optical clarity with the detector path.

Dimensions, volumes, cleanliness status and instrument compatibility are nominal unless confirmed in the current Puretest specification. Validate the tube, cap and thermal cycler together before routine use.

Thermal-Cycler Compatibility and Selection

Designed for selected 0.1 mL low-profile thermal-cycler blocks. Some low-profile strips are also used in instruments described as 0.2 mL blocks, but tube height, cap clearance and heated-lid pressure must be confirmed rather than assumed.

  • Confirm whether the block uses 0.1 mL low-profile or 0.2 mL standard-profile wells.
  • Check the heated-lid pressure, tube height, cap style and required optical path.
  • For qPCR, confirm whether clear or white tubes and optically polished caps are required.
  • Use evaluation samples before introducing a new consumable into a validated assay.

Application Guide

Application Why This Format Is Suitable
Low-volume PCR Reduced profile supports efficient cycling with limited reaction volume.
Real-time PCR Clear flat caps can support compatible optical detection after validation.
Gene-expression analysis Eight aligned reactions simplify row-based sample setup.
Genotyping Multichannel-ready strips improve handling consistency.
Assay development Low dead space supports optimization of low-volume reaction conditions.

Reaction Setup and Handling

  • Keep tube walls and cap surfaces free from powder, oil, fingerprints and aerosol contamination.
  • Close every cap uniformly and verify full engagement before cycling.
  • Briefly centrifuge when the protocol requires liquid collection at the tube bottom.
  • Preserve headspace; nominal tube capacity is not the recommended reaction volume.
  • Open caps carefully after cycling to reduce aerosol formation and cross-contamination.

Material, Cleanliness and Quality Documentation

Puretest PCR tubes are molded from high-purity virgin polypropylene selected for chemical resistance, low biomolecule binding and consistent thermal transfer. Uniform thin walls help every reaction experience similar contact with the thermal block.

Molecular-biology cleanliness, nonpyrogenic status, sterility and packaging options must be tied to the quoted catalog number. Request confirmation of DNase, RNase, human DNA, PCR-inhibitor and pyrogen limits when these claims are required for a validated workflow.

Certificates of Analysis, Certificates of Conformance, lot traceability, dimensional reports and irradiation documentation can be discussed before purchase. Puretest does not treat every packaging configuration as having identical certification.

Ordering Information, Packaging and OEM Support

Puretest supports evaluation samples, current technical drawings, bulk and protected packaging, sterile and non-sterile options where available, customer catalog numbers, private labels, barcodes and distributor carton programs. MOQ, inner-pack quantity, case quantity, lead time and carton dimensions are confirmed with the final specification.

Choose the Right PCR Tube Format

Format Structure Best-Fit Workflow
0.1 mL low-profile 8-strip Eight connected low-profile tubes with clear flat caps Low-volume PCR and compatible qPCR blocks
0.2 mL individual tube Single thin-wall tube with integral frosted flat cap Flexible single-reaction setup and sample identification
0.2 mL standard 8-strip Eight connected standard-profile tubes with clear flat caps Routine PCR in compatible 0.2 mL blocks

Compatibility depends on the thermal-cycler block, tube profile, heated-lid pressure and cap geometry. Request samples and validate the exact instrument before routine use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a 0.1 mL low-profile strip?

It reduces headspace and is well suited to low-volume reactions in compatible fast-cycling and qPCR blocks.

Will it fit every 0.1 mL instrument?

No. Check tube height, block geometry, cap clearance and the exact instrument model.

Are the caps suitable for qPCR?

Clear flat caps may support optical detection, but confirm cap polish and the instrument’s read path.

Can the tubes be ordered in white?

White tube options can be discussed for qPCR workflows that benefit from increased fluorescence reflection.

Are caps supplied separately?

The page describes tubes with matching flat cap strips; exact pack configuration is confirmed in the quotation.
