0.2 mL PCR 8-Tube Strips, Thin-Wall, PPC, Red — 214-3456-R80 | 125/Bag | Caplugs® Evergreen

0.2 mL Thin-Wall PCR 8-Tube Strips, PPC, Red — Caplugs® Evergreen (214-3456-R80)

These 0.2 mL thin-wall PCR 8-tube strips are manufactured from flexible Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC) and supplied non-sterile in 125/Bag packaging for high-throughput molecular biology workflows. The thin-wall construction promotes rapid thermal equilibration across the full thermocycler ramp, while the PPC material's inherent flexibility reduces the risk of well cracking during cycling and makes individual tube separation clean and consistent. Red coloring provides easy visual identification at the bench, and lot-to-lot dimensional uniformity ensures reliable seating in standard 96-well, 0.2 mL thermocycler block positions.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• PCR amplification and endpoint PCR in standard 96-well thermocycler blocks
• Quantitative PCR (qPCR) requiring consistent well geometry and uniform thermal transfer
• Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) for RNA targets
• Molecular diagnostic workflows in CAP-, CLIA-, and ISO 15189-accredited laboratories where lot-level traceability is required
• High-throughput sample processing where individual tube separation from the strip is needed after cycling

Chemical Resistance

Quality & Procurement

Made in USA, these Caplugs® Evergreen PCR strips are produced at ISO-certified facilities from virgin-grade, FDA-registered PPC resin that is BPA-free and phthalate-free. Each bag carries a lot number and manufacturing date to support full traceability in CAP-, CLIA-, and ISO 15189-regulated environments. LabSupplies.com is an authorized Caplugs® Evergreen dealer stocking part number 214-3456-R80 in USA inventory, with domestic supply continuity that eliminates offshore lead-time risk. Tiered pricing is available for institutional, hospital, and grant-funded purchasing programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these PCR tube strips sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile. For most PCR and qPCR workflows, non-sterile strips are standard practice; the reagents and master mixes used contain their own contamination controls. If your protocol requires sterile consumables, please contact us about availability of sterile options.

What is the advantage of PPC over standard polypropylene for PCR strips?
Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC) offers greater flexibility than standard homopolymer PP. That added flexibility reduces the likelihood of well cracking under the repeated thermal stress of thermocycler cycling and makes separating individual tubes from the strip cleaner and more consistent — a practical benefit in labs that process tubes individually after amplification.

Will these strips fit my thermocycler?
The strips are dimensioned for standard 96-well, 0.2 mL thermocycler block positions — the most common format in clinical and research labs. Because block geometry can vary slightly between instrument brands and generations, we recommend confirming your block accepts standard 0.2 mL strip tubes before ordering at volume.

Does each bag include lot traceability information?
Yes — every bag of 214-3456-R80 is labeled with a lot number and manufacturing date, providing the documentation chain required for CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 laboratory accreditation programs.
