Low Retention microcentrifuge tubes are essential lab consumables designed for minimal sample loss, ideal for sensitive applications in molecular biology, biochemistry, and diagnostics. These tubes feature specialized hydrophobic coatings that reduce adhesion of proteins, DNA, or other biomolecules, ensuring high recovery rates. Common capacities range from 0.2mL to 2.0mL, with options like sterile, non-sterile, or RNase/DNase-free. Key variants include PCR tubes, snap-cap tubes, and screw-cap tubes, often used with centrifuges, PCR machines, or automated liquid handlers. They are critical for PCR, sample storage, and high-throughput workflows in life sciences and industrial labs.
