Caplugs® Evergreen 0.2 mL Thin-Wall PCR Tubes with Attached Hinged Caps, Natural PPC, 1000/Bag
The Caplugs® Evergreen 0.2 mL PCR Tubes deliver thin-wall heat transfer for fast, uniform thermal cycling in standard 0.2 mL block thermal cyclers. Molded from natural polypropylene copolymer (PPC) with attached hinged caps, these tubes suit routine endpoint PCR, qPCR setup, and small-volume sample storage where contamination from loose lids is a concern.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these PCR tubes sterile or certified RNase/DNase-free?
These tubes ship non-sterile as stated in the specification. If your protocol requires certified sterility or nuclease-free status, confirm with us before ordering so we can match the correct configuration.
Will the 0.2 mL thin-wall tubes fit standard thermal cyclers?
Yes. The 0.2 mL thin-wall geometry is designed for standard 0.2 mL block thermal cyclers, promoting efficient, uniform heat transfer to the reaction volume during cycling.
What does the attached hinged cap provide over loose caps?
The hinged cap stays tethered to each tube, reducing the chance of misplaced lids and cross-contamination while speeding open-and-close handling at the bench during setup.
What material are these tubes made from?
They are molded from polypropylene copolymer (PPC) in a natural (translucent) color, a resin suited to the temperature ranges encountered in thermal cycling.
