EU 0.2 ml Tube With Domed Cap

The GISCOM EU 0.2 ml Tube With Domed Cap is a high-precision microtube designed for secure handling of small-volume samples in molecular biology, diagnostics, and research workflows. Its domed cap ensures enhanced sealing, preventing evaporation and contamination during heating, centrifugation, or transport. Ideal for PCR and routine micro-sample processing, this tube delivers reliable performance across diverse laboratory and industrial environments.

 Key Features

• Secure Domed Cap Design: Provides strong, leak-resistant sealing and minimises sample evaporation.
• Anti-Contamination Tab: Prevents direct finger contact with the outer skirt of the cap, reducing DNA carryover risk.
• Flexible Hinge Mechanism: Smooth, repeatable opening and closure for easy operation.
• Clear Polypropylene Body: Ensures excellent visibility of samples and volume levels.
• Thermally Efficient Thin Walls: Uniform heat transfer for PCR and temperature-dependent assays.
• Centrifuge-Compatible: Withstands standard microcentrifuge speeds without deformation.
• Consistent Manufacturing: Precision-moulded for compatibility with standard PCR racks and instruments.
• User-Friendly: Lightweight, ergonomic, and suitable for high-throughput sample preparation.
