HotStart Micro Storage and Reaction Tubes™ are thin wall PCR tubes with a wax bead preadhered to the tube interior. Tubes are designed to facilitate advanced PCR methods such as the hot start technique. Upon melting, the wax bead forms a uniform convective vapor barrier, and allows separation of reaction components until the precise annealing temperature of PCR is reached. This method inceases PCR specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy. HotStart Tubes significantly decrease mis-primes and primer dimerization. Wax barrier reduces evaporation of PCR reactions. The wax barrier seals the optimized PCR product or pre-aliquoted master mixes for safe and reliable long-term refrigerator or freezer (-20°C) storage. Usually Ships within 24 hours
