Low Profile Tubes and Ultra Clear Caps, strips of 8, Sustain™ Series

Thermo Scientific Low Profile Tubes and Ultra Clear Caps, strips of 8, Sustain Series, reduce the 'dead space' between the heated lid of the thermal cycler and the sample. This eliminates condensation on the side wall of the tube, preventing reduction in PCR volume and increasing the efficiency of the reaction. Low profile products are especially recommended for use with reaction volumes below 20 μL.

Features and benefits

• Suitable for 0.1 mL thermal cycler blocks
• 150 μL maximum tube capacity when capped
• Low profile to reduce dead space and increase PCR efficiency
• Labelled A–H end tabs (8-strip)
• Certified DNase-, RNase-, human DNA-, and PCR inhibitor-free

A breakthrough in sustainable PCR technology

Thermo Scientific Sustain Series PCR plastics signify a breakthrough in our PCR and quantitative PCR (qPCR) product offering that goes beyond providing accurate and reproducible PCR data. They represent our commitment to integrating more sustainable practices into our manufacturing processes, without compromising on product quality or performance. Our Sustain Series PCR plastics are manufactured under ISO 9001 guidelines within a Class 100,000 cleanroom from a biobased medical-grade virgin polypropylene that is chemically and molecularly identical to our existing Thermo Scientific PCR plastics. These products are supported by certification from the globally recognized International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) system. This greener approach is equivalent to 1.96X lower CO₂ equivalent emissions per kg of biobased polypropylene resin compared to traditional fossil fuel-based polypropylene resin.

Additional product details

• Uniform, ultra-thin walls enable maximum and consistent heat transfer for equally high performance of every sample
• Each well is visually inspected and electrostatically tested for defects and contaminants, and every lot is run through a PCR cycling test to evaluate sealing
• Manufactured from second generation bio-circular feedstocks that are chemically and molecularly identical to our existing Thermo Scientific PCR plastics
