Applicable Solutions
Forensics
The application note evaluates the performance of Thermo Fisher Scientific's Low DNA Binding Snap Cap Microcentrifuge Tubes (MCTs). These tubes were tested for their DNA binding properties and potential human DNA contamination, crucial for accurate qPCR analysis in forensic workflows. The study found that these MCTs performed as well as or better than other market options, showing minimal DNA loss due to adhesion and meeting stringent contamination criteria. The results suggest these tubes are suitable for sensitive forensic applications requiring precise DNA quantitation and contamination-free consumables.
Download1 Bevelled Cap with Secure Seal
Angled design makes opening the tube more comfortable, and precision molded tubes provide a snap seal closure.
2 Graduation Marks
Molded into the tube, providing an accurate, easy-to-read volume measure.
3 Conical Tapered Tube and Standard Tube Rack Fit
An excellent fit in centrifuge rotors, or the tubes can be placed close together in up to 80 well styles maximising rack storage space.
4 Biobased Resin Available
Derived from second-generation waste and residue oils, certified by ISCC PLUS.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you provide any documentation showing the carbon impact of using Thermo Scientific™ products in my lab?
Yes, subject to a minimum spend on Thermo Scientific™ products annually, we can provide a carbon ledger report tailored to your laboratory.
Which applications are Low DNA Binding Microcentrifuge Tubes suitable for?
These tubes are suitable for most laboratory use, but we see them as essential in genotyping, SNP analysis, human identification, molecular diagnostiscs and next generation sequencing.
Why are biobased microcentrifuge tubes more expensive?
The increased cost of production and certification of biobased tubes means there is a very small difference in price when compared to standard tubes.
