About Pure•Amp™ PCR Supplies

Pure•Amp™ is MTC Bio's line of precision PCR consumables, trusted by research labs, biotech and pharmaceutical companies, and core facilities nationwide. Every Pure•Amp™ product is certified free of RNase, DNase, DNA, and PCR inhibitors, and manufactured from heat-resistant, medical-grade polypropylene to tight dimensional tolerances. Here's a closer look at what's included in the promotion.


Pure•Amp™ PCR Strip Tubes — 0.1mL & 0.2mL

Pure•Amp™ PCR strip tubes are precision-manufactured with ultra-thin, uniform wall thickness for optimal thermal transfer from your cycler block to your sample. Inconsistent wall thickness is one of the leading causes of variability in qPCR results — Pure•Amp™ eliminates that variable with tightly controlled manufacturing tolerances.

0.2mL Standard PCR Strip Tubes Available in multiple configurations for standard thermal cycling applications:

  • P3010-A — 0.2mL PCR 8-Strips, attached individual flat caps (120 strips/pack) — available in 7 colors: blue, green, orange, purple, red, yellow, and natural for easy sample identification
  • P3010-S — 0.2mL PCR 8-Strips, separate flat cap strips (120 strips/pack)
  • P3020 — 0.2mL PCR 8-Strips, separate domed cap strips (120 strips/pack)
  • P3030 — 0.2mL individual PCR tubes, attached flat caps (1000 tubes/pack)
  • P3040 — 0.2mL individual PCR tubes, attached domed caps (1000 tubes/pack)

0.1mL Low-Profile qPCR Strip Tubes Engineered for fast-cycling real-time qPCR instruments, with three optical cap options:

  • P3801-Q — 0.1mL qPCR 8-Strips, separate optical caps, clear (120 strips/pack)
  • P3801-QF — 0.1mL qPCR 8-Strips, separate optical caps, frosted (120 strips/pack) — ideal for minimizing background scatter in probe-based assays
  • P3801-QW — 0.1mL qPCR 8-Strips, separate optical caps, white (120 strips/pack) — maximizes fluorescence reflectivity

0.2mL qPCR Strip Tubes

  • P3802-Q — 0.2mL qPCR 8-Strips, separate optical caps, clear (120 strips/pack)
  • P3802-QW — 0.2mL qPCR 8-Strips, separate optical caps, white (120 strips/pack)

All Pure•Amp™ strip tubes are compatible with Applied Biosystems QuantStudio, ViiA 7, StepOne Plus, and 7500 FAST; Bio-Rad CFX96, iQ5, and Chromo4; Roche LightCycler 96; Eppendorf Mastercycler ep realplex; and many other leading thermal cyclers and real-time qPCR instruments.


Pure•Amp™ PCR Plates — 96-Well & 384-Well

Pure•Amp™ PCR plates are designed for compatibility with the broadest range of thermal cyclers and qPCR instruments available. All plates feature ultra-thin, uniform walls for rapid heat transfer and consistent amplification across every well — held to the same tight dimensional tolerances as the Pure•Amp™ strip tube line.

0.2mL Standard 96-Well PCR Plates

  • P9602-N — Non-skirted, 96 x 0.2mL — universally compatible with ABI, Bio-Rad, GeneAmp, and Eppendorf thermal cyclers
  • P9602-NW — Non-skirted, WHITE wells, 96 x 0.2mL — improved fluorescence reflectivity for qPCR
  • P9602-S — Semi-skirted, 96 x 0.2mL — added rigidity for robotic liquid handling
  • P9602-SRR — Semi-skirted with raised rim (ABI type), 96 x 0.2mL
  • P9602-N-T (Sep-R-8™) — Non-skirted with breakaway strips of 8, 96 x 0.2mL — break down into strips for greater sample control and reduced plastic waste

0.1mL Low-Profile 96-Well PCR Plates

  • P9601-N — Non-skirted, 96 x 0.1mL low-profile/fast, natural
  • P9601-NW — Non-skirted, WHITE wells, 96 x 0.1mL — maximum fluorescence reflectivity

Pure•Amp™ Sealing Films & Foils

Every Pure•Amp™ sealing membrane is compatible with standard 96-well and 384-well PCR plates, certified RNase-free and DNase-free, and guaranteed to maintain evaporation rates below 5% throughout thermal cycling and storage. Packaged in inner packs of 10 membranes for easy dispensing. Available sterile and non-sterile.

Five film types cover every PCR, qPCR, ELISA, and storage workflow:

  • P1001-PCR / P1001-PCR-S — Transparent PCR sealing film, -40°C to +140°C — standard choice for routine PCR applications
  • P1001-Q / P1001-Q-S — Optically clear qPCR film, sticky adhesive (Bio-Rad® type), -40°C to +120°C — for real-time qPCR requiring maximum optical clarity
  • P1001-QPS / P1001-QPS-S — Optically clear qPCR film, pressure-sensitive adhesive (ABI® type), -40°C to +120°C — for instruments requiring pressure-activated seals
  • P1001-A / P1001-A-S — Pierceable aluminum foil, -80°C to +120°C — for plate storage, light-sensitive samples, and robotic liquid handling
  • P1001-E / P1001-E-S — Transparent ELISA/EIA film, -40°C to +120°C — for immunoassay incubation and general plate storage

Each suffix "-S" indicates the sterile version. All non-sterile versions are also available at a lower price point for applications where sterility is not required.


Why Pure•Amp™? The Quality Case

With dozens of PCR plastics brands on the market, it's worth understanding what makes Pure•Amp™ worth specifying. Here's the short version:

Precision manufacturing matters in PCR. Ultra-thin, uniform well walls aren't just a marketing claim — they directly determine how efficiently and consistently heat transfers from your thermal cycler to your sample. Plates and tubes with variable wall thickness produce variable Ct values, which means variable results. Pure•Amp™ manufactures to tight dimensional tolerances that eliminate this source of variability.

Contamination-free certification is non-negotiable. Every Pure•Amp™ product carries certification free of RNase, DNase, DNA, and PCR inhibitors. For sensitive applications like qPCR, RT-qPCR, and probe-based assays, a contaminated tube or plate can ruin an entire experiment. Pure•Amp™'s medical-grade polypropylene and certified manufacturing process give you confidence that your plastics aren't the problem.

Broad instrument compatibility simplifies purchasing. Rather than maintaining multiple SKUs of different plate brands for different instruments in your facility, Pure•Amp™ covers the widest range of thermal cyclers and qPCR platforms in a single product line — from ABI and Bio-Rad to Roche, Eppendorf, Stratagene, Agilent, and Benchmark Scientific.  Click here for the PureAmp Compatibility Chart.
