PCR Tubes

Cotaus PCR Tubes are small tubes with caps designed for reliable polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Made from high-quality, virgin polypropylene, these tubes feature thin, uniform walls for efficient heat transfer, ensuring accurate and reproducible results. Available as individual tubes or tube strips with multiple colors and high transparency for easy sample identification. Caps are available with flat or domed caps, fit perfectly, and create a uniform, tight seal that prevents sample evaporation. These Cotaus PCR tubes and caps are autoclavable and compatible with most thermal cycles. The PCR tubes are RNase- and DNase-free, non-pyrogenic, and leak-proof, ensuring sample protection during amplification.

Product Recommendations

Product Application

As a PCR tube manufacturer and supplier, Cotaus designed PCR tubes are specialized containers used in molecular biology and genetic research to perform PCR. These PCR consumables are designed to withstand the temperature cycles of PCR and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the reactions.

Here are the primary applications of PCR tubes

1. DNA Amplification

PCR tubes and PCR strip tubes are used to amplify specific DNA sequences for genetic analysis. The PCR tube holds the reaction mixture, which includes the template DNA/RNA, primers, nucleotides, Taq polymerase, and buffer.

2. Quantitative PCR (qPCR)

Cotaus provides optically clear PCR tubes allowing light to pass through for fluorescence detection used in PCR/qPCR to quantify DNA or RNA samples in real time.

3. Thermal Cycling

PCR tubes and tube strips allow the reaction mixture to undergo precise temperature changes during PCR, and withstand rapid heating and cooling cycles without warping or leaking, ensuring consistent reactions.

4. Sample Storage
PCR tubes with caps are sometimes used for short-term storage of prepared reaction mixtures before or after thermal cycling.

5. Enzyme Reactions

PCR individual tubes and 8-tube PCR Strips can be used for pre-PCR steps like reverse transcription (in RT-PCR) or post-PCR enzymatic reactions.

6. DNA Sequencing Preparation

PCR tubes are used to prepare samples for sequencing by amplifying and purifying DNA fragments, ensuring the quality and quantity of DNA for sequencing.

7. Clinical Diagnostics

PCR tubes facilitate rapid detection of DNA or RNA from pathogens used to diagnose diseases, including genetic disorders and infectious diseases.
