Precision Sealing for PCR ApplicationsOur Endotoxin-Free Optical PCR 12 Cap Strips offer an unmatched sealing solution for both real-time and endpoint PCR assays. The ultra-clear caps ensure superior optical clarity, facilitating accurate fluorescence reading crucial for qPCR and high-throughput workflows.
Certified Clean and Ultra-ResistantEach strip is verified to be endotoxin-free (<0.01 EU/mL), and certified DNase/RNase-free. Manufactured from high-purity polypropylene, the caps withstand a wide thermal range and resist common laboratory chemicals, maintaining sample integrity during stringent PCR cycles.
Convenient and Secure PackagingPackaged individually and sealed in RNase/DNase-free material, each strip arrives PCR-clean and ready for immediate use. This packaging not only enhances sterility but also ensures consistently high-quality results in sensitive molecular biology applications.
FAQs of Endotoxin-Free Optical PCR 12 Cap Strips:
Q: How do I use the Endotoxin-Free Optical PCR 12 Cap Strip for qPCR or endpoint PCR?
A: Simply align the ultra-clear, flat caps with a standard 12-strip or compatible 8-strip PCR tube set, and snap each cap securely onto the wells. The optical-quality cap enables efficient fluorescence detection for qPCR and endpoint PCR assays.
Q: What are the sterility and contamination controls for these PCR cap strips?
A: These cap strips are non-sterile but certified PCR-clean and packaged individually in RNase/DNase-free conditions. They also meet stringent endotoxin-free criteria with levels certified below 0.01 EU/mL to ensure sample integrity in sensitive applications.
Q: When should I select these optical PCR cap strips over regular caps?
A: Opt for these optical PCR caps when your application requires sensitive fluorescence detection, such as real-time PCR or high-throughput genomic assays, and when you need endotoxin-free, DNase/RNase-free conditions.
Q: Where are these caps suitable for use?
A: The 12-cap strips fit standard PCR instruments accepting 12-strip or 8-strip tubes. They are ideal for use in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, research laboratories, and high-throughput testing facilities.
Q: What benefits do these endotoxin-free optical cap strips offer over standard versions?
A: Benefits include certified endotoxin-free assurance, RNase/DNase-free manufacturing, enhanced optical clarity for fluorescence, broad temperature/chemical stability, and superior packaging that maintains PCR-clean conditions.
Q: Can I autoclave the PCR 12 cap strips for reuse?
A: Yes, these cap strips are autoclavable and can withstand temperatures up to 121C, making them suitable for certain re-sterilization protocols if required. However, always ensure the caps remain intact and optically clear after autoclaving.
Q: What materials are these cap strips made of, and do they add weight to my assay setup?
A: Each strip is crafted from high-purity polypropylene, weighing approximately 0.2 grams. This lightweight design ensures they do not significantly impact the overall mass of your PCR setup or workflow.
