0.2 mL Flat PCR Cap Strips, Optically-Clear for qPCR — 8-Strip & 12-Strip Formats, 120 Strips/Pack
These 0.2 mL 8-Strip Flat Caps from Globe Scientific deliver optically-clear sealing for real-time fluorescence detection, attaching to compatible 0.2 mL tube strips for qPCR setup, end-point PCR, and high-throughput thermal cycling workflows. Flat tops support clean reading from above on plate-reading qPCR instruments. Caps ship without tubes, letting labs match strip lengths to existing block configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these strips include the PCR tubes?
No. These are caps only. Pair them with compatible 0.2 mL tube strips matching your thermal cycler block, ordered separately.
Are the flat caps suitable for qPCR optical reading?
Yes. The optically-clear polypropylene and flat-top design allow fluorescence to be read from above on plate-reading real-time PCR instruments.
What is the difference between PCR-02FC and PCR-02FC-12?
PCR-02FC supplies 8-cap strips and PCR-02FC-12 supplies 12-cap strips. Choose the length that matches your tube-strip and block configuration.
Are the caps sterile or certified RNase/DNase-free?
The caps are supplied non-sterile. Confirm specific assurance requirements against the manufacturer documentation for your lot before validated assay use.
