Product Description
Opening strip caps with fingernails and pressing seals down by hand invites cross-contamination and uneven seals. This ILP multi-purpose tool handles three routine PCR tasks in one: opening tubes, closing caps and sealing plates.
This listing is for MTC Bio catalog number PC-COOL-TOOL-1, the Multi-Purpose PCR Tool. Use it to press caps firmly onto PCR tubes and strips, lift them off cleanly when it is time to load or recover samples, and smooth sealing films or mats onto PCR plates for a tight, even closure. Keeping a dedicated tool at the bench keeps gloved fingers away from tube rims and reduces the risk of aerosols and sample loss. LIGHT LABS stocks MTC Bio consumables and ships quickly from Englewood, Colorado.
