Applications-Where Single PCR Tubes Are Used
Standard PCR Amplification
Thin-wall construction ensures rapid, uniform heat transfer, reducing non-specific amplification. Compatible with all standard thermal cyclers that accept 0.2 mL or 0.5 mL tubes.
Sample Storage & Archiving
Secure sealing prevents evaporation and contamination. Suitable for short-term storage of DNA/RNA at -20°C or -80°C.
General Laboratory Use
Ideal for preparing master mixes, dilutions, or as small reaction vessels.
Which is better: PCR tubes or PCR strips?
High-volume search intent: “difference between PCR tube and strip”, “individual PCR tube vs strip advantages”.
| Feature | Individual PCR Tube | PCR Strip (8-tube) |
| Flexibility | High – use any number of tubes | Medium – must use entire strip |
| Sample number | Low to medium | High throughput |
| Cost per reaction | Lower | Slightly higher |
| Best for | Research, small batches, optimization, QC testing | Routine high-throughput PCR, screening |
| qPCR compatibility | Check instrument – some qPCR cyclers accept individual tubes, others require strips or plates | Often compatible with qPCR blocks |
Recommendation: For maximum flexibility and cost efficiency in small-scale experiments, individual PCR tubes are ideal. For high-throughput qPCR or routine screening, consider PCR strips or 96-well plates.
0.2 mL vs 0.5 mL PCR Tube – Which One to Choose?
| Feature | 0.2 mL Tube | 0.5 mL Tube |
| Recommended reaction volume | 5-150 µL | 10-200 µL |
| Best for | Standard PCR, most thermal cyclers | Larger reaction volumes, older cyclers |
| Thermal cycler compatibility | Most standard blocks (96-well) | Check instrument manual – not all blocks accept 0.5 mL |
PCR Tube Compatibility Guide – Thermal Cycler Models
| Instrument Brand & Model | 0.2 mL Tube | 0.5 mL Tube | Recommendation |
| Bio-Rad C1000 Touch / T100 / S1000 | Yes | No (96-well block) | 0.2 mL – fully compatible, recommended |
| Thermo Fisher SimpliAmp / Veriti / ProFlex | Yes | No (standard block) | 0.2 mL – fully compatible, recommended |
| Thermo Fisher Applied Biosystems 2720 | Yes | Yes (0.5 mL block option) | Both compatible – check your block type |
| Eppendorf Mastercycler (all models) | Yes | Yes (with 0.5 mL block adapter) | 0.2 mL recommended; 0.5 mL requires adapter |
| Analytik Jena Biometra | Yes | Yes (select models) | Check manual – not all Biometra accept 0.5 mL |
| Roche LightCycler 480 | Yes | No | 0.2 mL only – not recommended for qPCR without optical validation |
| Agilent SureCycler | Yes | No | 0.2 mL – fully compatible |
Note: Always verify with your instrument manual. For qPCR applications requiring fluorescence detection, we recommend using dedicated optical tubes or strips specifically validated for your instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and pricing structure?
MOQ is 1 carton (10,000 tubes for 0.2 mL, 5,000 tubes for 0.5 mL). Volume discounts available for 5+ cartons. Contact us for a customized quote.
Can I get free samples before bulk purchase?
Yes – we offer sample packs for evaluation. Shipping fee may apply for international orders, but samples are free.
Are these PCR tubes sterile?
They are not pre-sterilized but are DNase/RNase/pyrogen free. They can be autoclaved (121°C, 20 min) before use if sterility is required.
Can I use these tubes for real-time PCR (qPCR)?
These tubes are designed for standard PCR. For qPCR requiring fluorescence detection, we recommend using dedicated optical tubes or strips. Please verify compatibility with your instrument’s optics before use.
Will these tubes fit my thermal cycler?
0.2 mL tubes fit most standard 96-well blocks (Bio-Rad, Thermo, Eppendorf, etc.). 0.5 mL tubes fit older cyclers that use 0.5 mL format – check your instrument manual. See compatibility table above.
What is the advantage of thin-wall design?
Thinner walls reduce heat transfer resistance, improving temperature uniformity and ramping speed – leading to more efficient, specific amplification.
How are the tubes tested for DNase/RNase and pyrogen?
Each batch is tested using standard methods to ensure no detectable DNase, RNase, or endotoxin activity. Certificates of analysis are available upon request.
Can I get OEM labeling or custom packaging?
Yes – private label, custom printing on bags, or bulk non-bagged packaging. MOQ for OEM: 5 cartons. Contact us for details.
Do you provide certificates of analysis (COA)?
Yes – batch-specific COA showing DNase, RNase, and pyrogen testing is available upon request.
