Serological Pipettes

Unique design and development provides maximum mold and manufacturing accuracy. We outline precise product specifications and tolerances and minimize mold cavities while using CYCLERtest's temperature control competence in our manufacturing process. Result: superior and reproducible products with, in case of (q)PCR vessels, an average wall thickness of 0.30 mm for tubes and strips and 0.35 mm for plates, both with a maximum tolerance of 0.05 mm. Combined with the identical design of (q)PCR product closure one ends up in fully interchangeable and freely selectable (q)PCR cap and vessel combinations.

Extreme uniform wall thickness leads to a very even heating of the sample and more homogeneous reaction conditions, leading to more reproducible results. Extreme uniform wall thickness also leads to lower evaporation rates and therefore more consistent (q)PCR results. Evaporation rates of >10% up to 30% significantly influence the ratio of your (q)PCR components in the vessel, and thus the resulting reaction and its result. In case of optical detection via optical reading through the side of the qPCR tubes, better wall uniformity increases the signal consistency.

Clever design and sealing bands around the tube closure points provide a leak-free seal, reducing evaporation and leading to more reproducible results. These superior sealing properties allow for running (q)PCR reactions with volumes as low as 5 µl. The cap design allows minimum pressure for closure and opening which is highly appreciated by users and minimizes RSI risks.
