Ideal for use in diagnostic procedures.Did you know?Low-profile plastics, also referred to as Fast tubes or plates, are generally required for fast (0.1 mL) thermal blocks. Fast plastics utilize lower volumes (0.1 mL) than the standard (0.2 mL) tubes or plates. The low profile minimizes the air space above the reaction, helping reduce the effects of evaporation and enhancing thermal conductivity.
