In the world of molecular diagnostics, it’s just not about using the right technique but about performing experiment with precision, purity, and high performance. In this Blog we will focusing on the backbone of PCR workflow- “The consumables”

Explore the AMPQLEAR™ PCR Family

Welcome to the Abdos AMPQLEAR™ PCR Range of solutions where every cap, tube, strip, and plate is designed to elevate your PCR performance to another level.

While performing PCR, from DNA extraction to real-time quantification of sample, every step relies on consistent thermal transfer, evaporation control, and optical clarity. If the consumables that you are using are of low or inconsistent quality, it can lead to incomplete or failed amplification which will result in unreliable or irreproducible data.

AMPQLEAR™ products are made from USP Class VI Medical Grade Polypropylene (PP) and conform to US FDA 21 CFR standards, ensures Zero heavy metals or natural rubber.

AMPQLEAR™ PCR Tubes

AMPQLEAR™ 0.2ml PCR tubes are designed with domes or flat caps with thin and uniform wall thickness for optimal heat transfer reducing insulating effect. These tubes are perfect for High-throughput PCR, routine diagnostics, and research labs for the amplification of DNA.

AMPQLEAR™ PCR 8 Strip Tubes & 8 Strip Caps

AMPQLEAR™ PCR 8-Strip Tubes are a set of eight connected PCR tubes, designed for efficient, high-throughput PCR workflows. They serve the same core purpose as individual PCR tubes to hold reaction mixtures during thermal cycling, but they offer added convenience, uniformity, and efficiency, especially when processing multiple samples at once. These tubes are available in two well profiles standard (0.2 ml) and low profile (0.1 ml) and come in both white and clear formats. The white tubes enhance signal reflection during qPCR, improving fluorescence detection, while the clear tubes allow visual sample inspection. Their ultra-thin, uniform walls provide excellent thermal transfer, which is critical for efficient and accurate DNA amplification.

The AMPQLEAR™ 8 Strip caps are specifically designed to complement the 8 strip tubes, with a focus on optical clarity for real-time PCR applications. These caps are available in flat and domed styles. The flat caps offer a flush seal ideal for qPCR machines, while domed caps provide added volume and pressure tolerance for standard PCR.

8 Strip Tube & Cap Combos – Convenient, Ready-to-Use Kits

For labs looking for a ready-to-go solution, AMPQLEAR™ offers pre-configured combos that pair 8 strip tubes with matching 8 strip caps. These combos are available in a variety of combinations: 0.1 ml or 0.2 ml volumes, white or clear tubes, and flat or domed caps. This all-in-one format simplifies procurement, reduces the risk of mismatched components, and ensures compatibility between tubes and caps making it easier for researchers to focus on their experiments rather than logistics.

96 & 384-Well PCR Plates – Built for Efficiency

PCR plates are used in molecular biology and diagnostic labs to perform Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) efficiently especially when working with multiple samples simultaneously making them ideal for large-scale experiments. These plates are available in standard, semi-skirted, and fully skirted options are designed to fit thermal cyclers. This enables uniform heating and cooling across all wells, which is essential for accurate and efficient DNA amplification.  ideal for robotic systems, automated liquid handlers in high throughput labs.

Choosing the Right Sealing Mats for Your PCR Plates

In PCR and qPCR workflows, proper plate sealing is essential to prevent evaporation, contamination, and cross-well interference, especially during thermal cycling. Abdos offers a range of sealing options like silicone mats, polyester films, and aluminium films each designed to suit specific applications, plate formats, and lab preferences.

  • Silicone Sealing Mats – Durable & Reusable
  • Polyester Sealing Films – Optically Clear for Real-Time PCR
  • Aluminium Sealing Films – Light-Blocking & Pierceable

Versatile Deep Well Plates

Abdos Deep Well Plates are designed for high efficiency, precision, and versatility across a wide range of laboratory workflows. Available in square or round wells, conical (“V”) or round (“U”) bottoms, and a variety of volume capacities such as 2.2ml, 0.5ml, & 2.0 ml,1.0ml, 1.2ml. Catering both manual and automated systems. Ideal for applications such as nucleic acid extraction, high-throughput screening (HTS), sample storage, and automated liquid handling.
