· 125 points to redeem
Open and secure an entire row of eight PCR tube caps with one compact tool—without repeatedly pressing and lifting each cap with your fingertips.
Two ends, two everyday tasks
- Rounded pressing edge: presses a row of eight PCR caps firmly into place.
- Comb-shaped opening edge: slips under a row of eight caps so they can be lifted open together.
- Less repetitive finger pressure: helps reduce fingertip strain during repeated PCR setup.
- Faster row-by-row handling: works across eight caps at once to save time at the bench.
- Lightweight and reusable: weighs approximately 17 g and is easy to keep near the PCR workstation.
PCR tube compatibility
- Designed for standard 0.2 mL 8-tube PCR strips and rows of 8 attached caps.
- Compatible spacing: approximately 9.0 mm centre to centre.
- Comb end: 8 openings, each approximately 7.3 mm wide.
Compatibility note: PCR tube and cap geometry varies by manufacturer. Check the fit before routine use. This tool is not intended for 0.1 mL tubes, 0.5 mL tubes, 12-tube strips or products with non-standard spacing.
