Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced its ABgene EasyStrip Snap Tubes, a new range of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strip tubes with individually attached caps. The strip tubes are designed to simplify the set-up of PCR and quantitative PCR (QPCR) reactions, enhance QPCR results and allow easier and safer access to samples after amplification.
EasyStrip Snap Tubes are available in different formats, depending on the required application. For standard PCR reactions, EasyStrip Snap Tubes are available in natural tubes with domed caps. For fluorescence applications, such as QPCR, Ultra Clear Caps (available in both white and natural tubes) provide an optically clear window into the reaction for enhanced detection of the fluorescent signal. Combined with the use of white tubes for higher signal-to-noise ratio and increased reflection of the fluorescence signal, this ensures highly sensitive and consistent QPCR results.
