The MEDILAB EU 0.2 ml Tube Strip With Attached Caps is a premium-quality, multi-tube laboratory solution designed for high-throughput PCR, qPCR, and micro-sample handling. Each strip integrates individual 0.2 ml tubes with pre-attached optical caps for convenient, contamination-free operation. Engineered for precise thermal transfer and reliable sealing, this tube strip enhances workflow efficiency in molecular biology, diagnostics, and industrial testing environments.

Key Features

• Integrated Attached Caps: Eliminates the need for separate closures; each cap opens and closes independently.
• Uniform Thin-Wall Design: Ensures fast and even heat transfer for PCR and Real-Time PCR applications.
• Crystal-Clear Optical Caps: Compatible with optical detection platforms, enabling efficient fluorescence readings.
• Excellent Sealing Performance: Prevents evaporation, leakage, and contamination during thermal cycling.
• High Durability & Flexibility: Strong hinge mechanism withstands repeated opening and closing.
• Optimised for Automation: Compatible with multi-channel pipettes, thermal cyclers, and robotic systems.
• Ergonomic Strip Format: Simplifies handling of multiple samples simultaneously for faster workflows.
