PCR Tubes

<h2 data-path-to-node="1"> What Are PCR Tube Racks?</h2>
 PCR tube racks are polypropylene holders that maintain 0.2 mL PCR tubes and strip tubes in a stable 8&times;12 (96-position) upright array during reaction setup, pre-PCR storage, and post-amplification handling. They stabilise tubes during multichannel pipetting, prevent tip deflection when dispensing with an 8-channel pipette, and serve as organisational tools for pre- and post-PCR sample management. Most racks accept both individual 0.2 mL tubes and 8-strip or 12-strip tubes in the same 96-well footprint.&nbsp;

 Well Diameter and Tube Compatibility Standard 96-well PCR racks have a 5.2 mm well diameter, compatible with most 0.2 mL thin-wall PCR tubes from Globe Scientific, Nest Scientific, Axygen/Corning, Eppendorf, and equivalent brands. Confirm the collar diameter of your specific tube brand before ordering if using non-standard tube geometry. Lid: Hinged Flat vs Translucent Cover vs No Lid Hinged flat lids lie flush when open for unobstructed pipette access; the lid can be closed to protect tubes during incubation or transport. Translucent polycarbonate lids allow visual sample inspection without lid removal &mdash; useful for barcode readers that scan through the cover. Lidless racks are the simplest format for bench use, where brief sample exposure is acceptable. Colour Coding Racks are available in single colours (blue, green, pink, yellow, orange) and assorted multi-colour packs. Colour-coded racks help segregate pre-PCR and post-PCR samples, reducing cross-contamination risk in labs without fully separated pre/post-PCR workspaces. Autoclavability Polypropylene PCR tube racks are autoclavable at 121&deg;C (250&deg;F) for sterilisation between use cycles. Polycarbonate lids withstand repeated autoclave cycles at standard sterilisation conditions. SBS Footprint for Automation Select PCR strip racks with an SBS/SLAS-compliant footprint (127.76 &times; 85.47 mm) to enable use with robotic liquid handlers and automated workstations when processing strip tubes on automation platforms. 
<h2 data-path-to-node="1"> Specifications Context</h2>
 Standard 96-well PCR tube racks measure approximately 130 &times; 98 &times; 33 mm (L &times; W &times; H) with 5.2 mm well diameter and 9 mm well spacing. Polypropylene construction is chemical-resistant and autoclavable at 121&deg;C. Alphanumeric embossed grid (A&ndash;H rows, 1&ndash;12 columns) matches the labelling of PCR plates and plates for straightforward sample mapping. SP Bel-Art 96-well PCR racks and equivalent formats from Heathrow Scientific and Globe Scientific are widely distributed in North American research labs.&nbsp;

PCR Tube Racks

<h2 dir="ltr"> What Are 8-Strip PCR Tubes?</h2>
 8-strip PCR tubes are a connected row of eight individual thin-wall polypropylene tubes supplied as a single unit, designed for simultaneous processing of eight reactions per strip. The strip format accommodates multichannel pipettes at standard 9 mm well spacing, reducing setup time compared to handling individual tubes one at a time. Available in 0.2 mL for standard thermal cycler blocks and 0.1 mL for fast-block or low-profile instruments. Caps are available attached (dome or flat) or as separate cap strips for labs that prefer independent tube and cap management. 8-strip tubes are the most efficient manual format for 8- or 16-sample PCR batches &mdash; choose 0.2 mL for standard blocks, 0.1 mL for fast-block cyclers.

<h2 dir="ltr"> How to Choose 8-Strip PCR Tubes</h2>
 Volume: 0.2 mL vs 0.1 mL Standard 0.2 mL strips fit conventional tall-block cyclers, including Bio-Rad T100, Eppendorf Mastercycler, and Applied Biosystems Veriti. Low-profile 0.1 mL strips are required for fast-block instruments such as the Applied Biosystems StepOnePlus, Bio-Rad CFX96 Fast, and Roche LightCycler 480, where the shallower well reduces thermal equilibration time and supports faster cycling protocols. Cap Style: Dome vs Flat, Optical vs Separate Cap Strip Attached dome caps are the standard choice for endpoint PCR, where no fluorescence is read through the cap lid. Flat optically clear attached caps &mdash; or separately purchased optical cap strips &mdash; are required for real-time qPCR when detection occurs through the top of the tube; dome caps attenuate fluorescence and compromise Ct consistency. Separate cap strips offer flexibility to mix dome and flat caps on the same strip. Attached vs Separate Caps Attached caps prevent cap mix-ups and reduce handling steps in high-throughput setups. Separate cap strips (tube strip + cap strip sold together in the same bag) allow independent tube loading and cap seating &mdash; preferred when using automated liquid handlers or when labelling the cap exterior is important. Colour Options Clear strips are standard; assorted colour packs (clear, red, yellow, blue, green) allow colour-coded sample tracking. White polypropylene strips increase qPCR fluorescence signal in bottom-read optical configurations by reflecting emission back through the detector. Strip Rigidity Split-apart strips (perforated between tubes) allow individual tubes to be broken off from the strip &mdash; useful when fewer than 8 reactions are needed and waste reduction matters. 
<h2 dir="ltr"> Specifications Context</h2>
 8-strip tube walls are typically 0.25&ndash;0.35 mm thick virgin polypropylene free of additives, antistatic agents, and dyes. Certified DNase-free, RNase-free, human DNA-free, and PCR inhibitor-free per independent lot testing. Standard packs contain 120 strips (960 reactions) for 0.2 mL format; 0.1 mL packs are often 120 strips as well. As of 2026, Axygen (Corning) PCR-0208-C and equivalent Globe Scientific formats are widely distributed through North American channels.&nbsp;

<h2 dir="ltr">What Are Individual PCR Tubes?</h2>
 Individual PCR tubes are single-reaction thin-wall polypropylene vessels supplied separately rather than in strip or plate format. The 0.2 mL format is the global standard for modern thermal cyclers with conventional 96-well block geometry, while 0.5 mL tubes are used with older or specially adapted blocks. Individual tubes offer the flexibility to set up any number of reactions without being constrained to a strip of 8 or 12, making them ideal for one-off reactions, optimisation runs, and protocols requiring varied tube counts. Choose individual tubes for variable reaction counts and when colour-coding samples matters.

<h2 dir="ltr"> How to Choose Individual PCR Tubes</h2>
 Volume: 0.2 mL vs 0.5 mL The 0.2 mL tube fits virtually all modern thermal cycler blocks, including Bio-Rad T100, Eppendorf Mastercycler NEO, and Applied Biosystems Veriti. The 0.5 mL tube is used with specific gradient blocks or older instruments; confirm block compatibility before ordering this format. Attached Cap vs No Cap Tubes with attached dome caps offer convenience and prevent cap mix-ups during high-volume workflows. Tubes with flat attached caps or sold without caps (requiring separate cap purchase) are chosen when flat optical caps or coloured caps are needed for tube tracking. Colour Options Coloured individual tubes (clear, white, yellow, red, blue, green) allow colour-based sample tracking without labelling, particularly useful in high-throughput genotyping or multiplex PCR workflows where visual differentiation reduces setup errors. Polypropylene Grade Individual tubes should be moulded from virgin polypropylene free of additives, antistatic agents, and dyes that can inhibit PCR enzyme activity. White tubes (for qPCR with fluorescence read from the bottom) must use a white polypropylene body that maximises signal reflection. 
<h2 dir="ltr"> Specifications Context</h2>
 Standard 0.2 mL individual PCR tubes have a wall thickness of approximately 0.25&ndash;0.35 mm, a conical base for complete reaction volume recovery, and are supplied in bags of 1,000 tubes for bench use. Certification includes DNase-free, RNase-free, human DNA-free, and PCR inhibitor-free per independent lot testing.
