4titude offers Framestrip PCR tube strips, which have a two-component design combining the advantages of thin-walled tubes for optimum PCR results and a rigid frame portion for reliable handling.
The tubes are made from polypropylene, which is said to offer efficient heat transfer, as well as an inert surface with low binding capabilities for nucleic acids, proteins and other molecules.
By moulding the frame portion in a more rigid polymer, the mechanical stability of the strip has been improved.
Framestrip is offered with five frame colours, all with clear tubes.
They are also offered with a black frame and white tubes for assays such as qPCR.
They are available with either domed or flat, optically clear caps.
Additionally, they are optionally available with 2D barcoding together with a 2D barcode reader and user-friendly software allowing for reliable and convenient sample management.
