Caplugs® Evergreen 0.2 mL Thin-Wall PCR Tubes with Hinged Caps, PPC, Green, 1000/Bag
The Caplugs® Evergreen 0.2 mL Thin-Wall PCR Tubes with Hinged Caps are molded from polypropylene copolymer (PPC) for fast, uniform heat transfer during DNA amplification, qPCR setup, and routine thermocycling. Thin walls promote rapid ramp rates, while the attached hinged cap minimizes evaporation and reduces handling steps at the bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these 0.2 mL PCR tubes sterile or certified nuclease-free?
These tubes are supplied non-sterile. The spec sheet does not certify them as DNase/RNase-free, so confirm requirements for sensitive assays. Many labs autoclave PPC tubes prior to critical applications.
Will the thin-wall design fit standard 0.2 mL thermocycler blocks?
Yes. The 0.2 mL thin-wall profile is designed for conventional 0.2 mL thermocycler wells and promotes rapid, uniform heat transfer for consistent ramp rates during amplification.
What does the attached hinged cap provide?
The integrally molded hinged cap stays connected to each tube, reducing the chance of misplaced or cross-contaminated caps and limiting evaporation during reactions and short-term storage.
How many tubes come in a pack?
Each pack contains 1000 tubes per bag (1000/Bag), priced per pack. The green PPC color aids visual organization within multi-sample workflows.
