The difference between PCR tube  and microcentrifuge tube

EP tube: also called plastic centrifuge tube, first invented and produced by eppendorf company, so now the centrifuge tube is generally called EP tube.
PCR tube: The plastic centrifuge tube used for PCR experiment, the general capacity is 0.2mL, there are also 0.5mL, pay attention to the difference between PCR tube and micro-centrifuge tube, because the capacity of many microcentrifuge tubes is similar to PCR tube! The big difference is that, in order to ensure the requirements of centrifugation, the wall of the microcentrifuge tube is generally thick; while the wall of the PCR tube is relatively thin in order to ensure the speed and uniformity of heat transfer; therefore, in actual applications, it is not recommended to mix them, because Thinner PCR tubes may burst due to the inability to withstand greater centrifugal force. Similarly, thicker microcentrifuge tubes may affect the PCR effect due to slow and uneven heat transfer;
8-connected tubes: The early plastic centrifuge tubes were all single, which was a lot of work during batch testing and inconvenient to operate. So 8-connected tubes were invented, and now there are 12-connected tubes. Flat cover and convex cover: The early PCR machine did not have a hot cover. During the PCR process, the liquid at the bottom of the tube evaporates to the top. If the cover is flat, it is not easy to agglomerate, so it is designed as a convex cover (that is, a round top), so that it is easy to evaporate. The liquid coagulated and flowed down. The current PCR instrument is basically a hot lid type, the top temperature of the PCR lid is high, and the bottom temperature is low, and the liquid at the bottom is not easy to evaporate to the top, so most of the currently used flat lid type.
The HUIDA PCR micro reaction tube is equipped with a lid, which provides a good seal, which can effectively reduce the loss of liquid in the PCR reaction tube caused by evaporation. The precise mold and manufacturing process ensure that the lid can be opened and closed easily and has good adhesion.

Features:
1. PCR tube made of medical grade polypropylene;
2. The lid is easy to close and has good tightness;
3. Ultra-thin wall ensures effective heat transfer and large output;
4. Certified X inhibitors without RNase, Dnase, DNA and PCR;
5. Does not contain endotoxin;
6. It can be sterilized by high temperature and high pressure;
7. The lid can be opened and closed repeatedly;
