Description
Designed with flat-top profile to fit on MicroAmp tube strips and 96-well plates. Suitable for real-time PCR.
- Will not interfere with sample reading
- Provides tight seal to minimize evaporation
- Easy to apply and remove
- Minimize Evaporation
- Use MicroAmp Caps Strips to seal the tubes and reduce the possibility of contamination among sample wells and help ensure reliable results
- Easy to Use
- Use MicroAmp Cap Installing Tool (sold separatley) to push caps down and form tight seal. When ready, just peel away caps using tabs at end
- Optical caps have been redesigned with improved sealing geometry while still featuring excellent optical clarity and low fluorescent background
For end-point PCR applications, use MicroAmp Cap Strips with domed-top profile.

The MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Covers (P/N 4311971) have a higher optical efficiency than the MicroAmp Optical Caps, (8 caps/strip) (P/N 4323032). They can be used instead of the MicroAmp Optical Caps only when using the MicroAmp 96-Well Reaction Plate with Barcode (P/N 4306737, 4309849) or the MicroAmp Optical 96-Well Reaction Plate (P/N N801-0560). The Optical Adhesive Covers cannot be used with the MicroAmp Optical Tubes.
