Low Volume Storage Tube for Genomic Applications

To address the ever-increasing need for low volume genomics, Micronic launches the 0.30ml tube with external thread that enables miniaturization of reaction volume required in genomic applications. The tube cuts out intermediate (screening) plates and is more accessible for low volume liquid handlers. In addition, the automation-friendly 0.30ml tube with a working volume of 210µl, is ideal for RNA/DNA libraries, unique aliquoting and storage capacity with multi access.

After the 0.75ml and 1.40ml tubes, the 0.30ml tube is the next size in a range of new designs featuring an external thread. Using externally threaded tubes for sample storage eliminates the possibility of the sample coming into contact with the screw thread, greatly reducing the chance of cross-contamination while improving sample integrity. Due to thick tube walls, the tube has a sturdy design and excellent properties for ultra-low temperature storage. The triple thread of the tubes gives an excellent closure and horizontal placement of the cap to ensure long-term sample preservation and storage. The screw cap also has a triple start thread for optimal sealing quality and is available in 6 different colors.
