Caplugs® Evergreen 0.2 mL Thin-Wall PCR Tubes with Hinged Caps, Amber PPC, 1000/Bag
Caplugs® Evergreen 0.2 mL Thin-Wall PCR Tubes with Hinged Caps are molded from amber polypropylene copolymer (PPC) for routine PCR, qPCR setup, and light-sensitive reaction storage. The thin, uniform wall promotes rapid, even heat transfer in standard 0.2 mL block thermal cyclers, while the attached hinged cap eliminates lost lids during high-throughput plate loading.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these 0.2 mL PCR tubes compatible with standard thermal cyclers?
Yes. The thin-wall 0.2 mL format fits standard 0.2 mL thermal cycler blocks for efficient, even heat transfer during cycling.
Why are these PCR tubes amber instead of clear?
The amber PPC reduces light exposure, helping protect light-sensitive dyes, probes, and templates during reaction setup and short-term storage.
Do the tubes come sterilized or RNase/DNase-free certified?
These tubes are supplied non-sterile. The spec line does not state RNase/DNase-free certification, so confirm requirements against your protocol before use with sensitive nucleic acid work.
How are the caps attached and how many tubes are in a pack?
Each tube has an attached hinged cap to prevent lost lids, and tubes are supplied 1000 per bag.
