Applied Biosystems Tube Tray Retainer Sets 96 Well 0.2ml 8 Sets

The Applied Biosystems 403083 Tube Tray Retainer Sets are specialized accessories designed to securely hold 0.2ml PCR tubes and strip tubes within specific Applied Biosystems thermal cyclers and instruments. These retainer sets ensure that the tubes remain firmly in place during the temperature cycling required for PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and other molecular biology applications. The precise fit of these retainers is crucial for optimal heat transfer from the thermal cycler block to the samples, which is essential for accurate and consistent DNA amplification. By preventing tubes from shifting or popping open, these sets also minimize the risk of evaporation, cross-contamination, and sample loss. The 0.2ml capacity is a standard size for individual PCR tubes and strip tubes, commonly used in high-throughput workflows. These Applied Biosystems tube tray retainer sets are vital for reliable and reproducible molecular biology experiments.
