Description

Includes

125 strips

For tube strips with domed caps for PCR experiments using 1 or 2 strips that require the use of the 96-well tray (Cat. No. 4379983) on the ProFlex™, SimpliAmp™, and Veriti™ thermal cycler 96-well blocks.

The Applied Biosystems™ MicroAmp™ Optical 8-Tube Strip with Attached Optical Caps is designed to fit in Applied Biosystems™ real-time PCR systems and thermal cyclers. The tube strip features individually attached optical caps, dual large end–tabs, and graduated 20 μL markers on each tube to help prevent cross-contamination, pipetting errors, and sample identification errors.

For tube strips with domed caps for PCR, see Cat. No. A30589.

Features:

• Strip of 8 tubes with attached optical caps that open and close independently to prevent contamination and evaporation
• Angled caps that provide efficient tube strip positioning in racks and thermal cycler blocks
• Etched A-H letter labeling on individual tubes that is visible when caps are open or closed
• Increased labeling area: dual end tabs for proper labeling and easy handling
• Graduated 20 μL measuring markers on each tube for visual volume verification

Note: Experiments using 1 or 2 strips require the use of the 96-well tray (Cat. No. 4379983) on the ProFlex™, SimpliAmp™, and Veriti™ thermal cycler 96-well blocks.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
