Custom Plastic Tubes

Custom PCR Tubes: Cost-Effective and Quality Tubes

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tubes are essential components in molecular biology and diagnostic laboratories. These are small, precision-engineered tubes that are designed to tolerate the high temperatures and rapid thermal cycling required for DNA amplification. YPackaging brings you custom PCR tubes that are a cost-effective solution for brands without compromising on quality. We run quality control tests to ensure these tubes are flawless and give accurate and reliable results in the fields of research, medical diagnostics, and biotechnology.
Our mess-free PCR tubes come in various sizes, designs, and materials to meet specific experimental needs. These tubes are ideal for single-sample or complex processing. These high-quality PCR strip tubes ensure contamination-free and consistent performance. We provide you with sterile PCR tubes at wholesale and market-competitive prices so you can place a bulk order without going out of budget.

Features of PCR Strip Tubes

Our PCR strip tubes offer several key features that make them irreplaceable in laboratory settings. Below are some of their prominent features:

1. High-Temperature Resistance:

   PCR tubes are designed to endure extreme thermal cycling, typically ranging from 4°C to 100°C, ensuring that the reaction remains stable throughout the process.

2. Thin-Walled Construction:

   Most PCR tubes feature ultra-thin walls to allow for rapid and uniform heat transfer, optimizing the efficiency of thermal cycling.

3. Optically Clear Material:

   Some PCR tubes are manufactured with optically clear plastics, making them suitable for real-time PCR (qPCR) applications by improving fluorescence detection.

4. Low-Profile and Standard Profile Designs:

   These tubes are available in different heights to fit various thermocyclers and reduce the risk of evaporation.

5. Sterility and DNase/RNase-Free Assurance:

   PCR strip tubes are often treated to be free of contaminants such as DNase, RNase, and pyrogens, ensuring reliable experimental results.

6. Easy Handling and Storage:

   Many PCR tubes are designed with attached or separate caps, making them easy to handle while minimizing sample loss.

7. Compatibility with Multi-Well Formats:

   Strip tubes can be used with 8-tube or 12-tube configurations, enhancing efficiency in high-throughput settings.

Material Options for Sterile PCR Tubes

Choosing the right material option for these PCR strip tubes is essential to ensure optimal performance and accuracy in the laboratory. At YPackaging, we use high-quality plastics for manufacturing these PCR strip tubes with individually attached caps. Below are the common plastic materials we use in the manufacturing process:

1. Polypropylene (PP):

   This the the most widely used material for PCR strip tubes. This material offers excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and minimal sample adhesion. It is ideal for high-precision PCR applications.

2. Low-Retention Polypropylene:

   This material is a special type of polypropylene that minimizes sample loss due to adhesion, ensuring accurate and reproducible results.

3. Optical-Grade Polypropylene:

   This material is used in qPCR applications which helps to enhance fluorescence detection, making it suitable for real-time analysis.

4. Medical-Grade Plastic:

   PCR strip tubes manufactured from medical-grade plastics undergo strict quality control measures to ensure sterility and contaminant-free conditions.

5. Autoclavable Plastic:

   Some of our PCR tubes with caps are made from high-purity plastics that can tolerate autoclaving, allowing for repeated use and sterilization.

PCR Tube Capacities

PCR strip tubes come in various capacities to cater to different sample volumes and experimental requirements. Our PCR tube capacities range includes 0.1mL, 0.2mL, 0.5mL, 8-strip tubes, 12-strip tubes, etc. You can also place an order for custom-sized PCR strip tubes based on your experimental needs.

Closure Options

The right closure option ensures that PCR tubes remain sealed and protected from contamination, evaporation, and leakage. Our closure options include:

1. Flat Caps:

   These provide a secure seal while allowing easy labeling and compatibility with real-time PCR applications.

2. Dome Caps:

   These offer protection against sample evaporation and are commonly used in standard PCR applications.

3. Optically Clear Caps:

   These are designed for qPCR that ensure efficient fluorescence signal detection.

4. Attached Hinged Caps:

   These minimize contamination risks by keeping the caps connected to the tube, reducing handling errors.

5. Adhesive PCR Seals:

   These are used in high-throughput applications and provide a tight and reliable closure.

6. Heat-Sealable Foils:

   These are ideal for long-term sample storage and protection.
