0.2 mL PCR 8-Tube Strips, Thin-Wall, PPC, Yellow — 214-3456-Y80 | 125/Bag | Caplugs® Evergreen

0.2 mL Thin-Wall PCR 8-Tube Strips, Yellow PPC — 125/Bag (Caplugs® Evergreen)

These 0.2 mL thin-wall PCR 8-tube strips are manufactured from polypropylene copolymer (PPC) and supplied non-sterile in sealed 125/Bag packaging for high-throughput amplification workflows. The thin-wall construction promotes rapid thermal equilibration across standard 96-well thermocycler block positions, while the PPC formulation offers enhanced flexibility compared with standard polypropylene, reducing the risk of well cracking during thermocycler runs and allowing clean individual tube separation from the strip. The distinctive yellow color simplifies visual identification and sample tracking at the bench.

Technical Specifications

Applications

• Standard PCR and endpoint PCR amplification in 96-well thermocycler blocks
• Quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays requiring consistent well geometry and uniform thermal contact
• Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) with RNA templates and enzyme mastermix reagents
• Molecular diagnostic workflows in CAP-, CLIA-, and ISO 15189-regulated laboratories requiring full lot traceability
• 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 strips are produced at ISO-certified manufacturing facilities from virgin-grade, FDA-registered PPC resin that is BPA-free and phthalate-free. Lot-to-lot dimensional consistency ensures reliable fit in standard 96-well block positions, and every bag is shipped with lot number and manufacturing date to support full traceability requirements in CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 environments. LabSupplies.com is an authorized Caplugs® Evergreen dealer maintaining domestic inventory, so orders ship without the extended lead times associated with offshore supply chains. Tiered pricing is available for institutional, hospital, and grant-funded accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these PCR tube strips sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile. For most PCR and qPCR applications this is standard practice, as the amplification reaction itself and proper technique controls contamination. If your protocol requires sterile tubes, contact us to confirm availability of a sterile variant.

Will these strips fit my thermocycler?
The tubes are designed for standard 96-well thermocycler blocks that accept the 0.2 mL tube format, which is the most widely used configuration across major thermocycler platforms. Confirm that your instrument accepts standard 0.2 mL strips before ordering if you use a non-standard or specialized block insert.

What is the advantage of PPC over standard polypropylene for PCR strips?
Polypropylene copolymer (PPC) provides greater flexibility than homopolymer PP, which reduces the risk of micro-cracking at the well base during rapid thermal cycling and makes it easier to snap individual tubes cleanly from the strip after the run — a practical benefit when processing multiple samples.

How is lot traceability supported for regulated laboratory environments?
Each sealed bag of 214-3456-Y80 includes a lot number and manufacturing date, enabling documentation of consumable provenance for CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 quality management systems. LabSupplies.com can provide supporting documentation upon request for audit purposes.
