DiamondLink 0.1 mL Low-Profile 8-Strip PCR Tubes with Attached Flat Caps — 120 Strips/Pack
Globe Scientific DiamondLink 0.1 mL 8-Strip PCR Tubes deliver thin-wall, low-profile strips engineered for fast, uniform heat transfer in qPCR, end-point PCR, and high-throughput thermal cycling. Individually-attached flat caps seal each well securely while keeping the optical path clear for real-time detection. Choose clear strips for general amplification or white strips to boost fluorescent signal reflection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these strips compatible with low-profile 96-well thermal cycler blocks?
Yes. The low-profile 0.1 mL design fits standard fast-block thermal cyclers and real-time platforms that accept low-profile strip formats.
Should I select clear or white strips for qPCR?
White strips reflect fluorescent signal back toward the detector for improved sensitivity, while clear strips suit general PCR and visual inspection.
Are the flat caps suitable for optical reading?
Yes. The individually-attached flat caps provide a clear, low-distortion optical surface for real-time fluorescence detection.
Are these tubes certified nuclease-free?
The polypropylene is free of detectable DNase, RNase, and human DNA, making the strips suitable for sensitive amplification assays.
