Select PCR-02FQ with the optically clear flat cap. Its low-autofluorescence top permits accurate fluorescence detection through the lid on real-time instruments, unlike dome or frosted caps intended for endpoint use. Are these PCR tubes sterile or certified nuclease-free? Tubes ship non-sterile. Confirm specific RNase/DNase and pyrogen status against the current Globe Scientific specification sheet for your lot before use in sensitive amplification protocols. Will the 0.2 mL tubes fit standard thermal cyclers? Yes. The thin-wall 0.2 mL design conforms to common 0.2 mL block geometry for uniform heat transfer; the 0.5 mL tubes seat in 0.5 mL blocks and adapters. Why is the frosted flat cap useful? The frosted surface accepts pen or marker labeling directly on the cap, aiding sample identification and batch tracking when tubes are processed individually rather than in indexed strips. { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Product", "name": "Globe Scientific Individual PCR Tubes, Thin-Wall Polypropylene, 0.2 & 0.5 mL", "brand": { "@type": "Brand", "name": "Globe Scientific" }, "sku": [ "PCR-02D", "PCR-02F", "PCR-02FQ", "PCR-05D", "PCR-05F" ], "offers": { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "priceCurrency": "USD", "lowPrice": "70.40", "highPrice": "93.00", "offerCount": 5 } } { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "FAQPage", "mainEntity": [ { "@type": "Question", "name": "Which cap format should I choose for real-time qPCR?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Select PCR-02FQ with the optically clear flat cap.
