 Every EU product, from single tube to plate, is tested for use in Real-Time PCR applications. EU single tubes have optical, flat area caps, which enable fluorescent signals to pass through to the optical detection unit of the thermal cycler. For the closure of EU strips and plates, special, glass-grade, optical cap-strips were designed to exhibit superior detection. In contrast with seals for optical purposes, these cap-strips do not have the disadvantage of adhesives that can interfere with the signals. All EU products are available in white or black versions. Test show significant decreases in background when using these non-transparent versions, compared to natural transparent ones.  Follow compatibility table to get an advice on which EU products fit which Real-Time thermal cycler.

Extreme Uniform (EU) Single Tubes

 

EU Single 0.2 ml thin-wall tube (high profile) with optical, flat cap

This high profile EU tube features a thin-wall, flat, optical cap. The glass-grade, optical area is very well suited for Real-Time PCR, but it may also be used for writing identifications on. This EU tube is also suited for centrifugation purposes.  Evaporation grades of this EU tube are around 3%.

Can be used in all 0.2 ml block regular and real-time thermal cyclers.

The tubes work with 5 µl.

EU Single 0.2 ml thin-wall tube (high profile) with domed cap

This high profile EU tube features a dome cap with a flat shaped optical area on top. It is very convenient to open and close time and time again. The special anti-contamination tab prevents fingertips from touching the outskirts of the cap closing area, thus preventing DNA carry-over. Evaporation grades of this EU tube are in between 2 and 3%. The cap has a small, frosted writing area.

Can be used in most 0.2 ml block regular and real-time thermal cyclers.

The tubes work with 5 µl.

Extreme Uniform (EU) Eighters Tubes

 

The low profile EU strip of 8 tubes is famous for its extremely low evaporation grades of around 1%. The high profile EU strips perform only slightly worse with 2-3% evaporation. All types of EU strips exhibit high impact resistance walls, to prevent cracking during handling. The glass-grade optical area of the accompanying 8-cap-strips is the ideal means to cope with Real-Time PCR signals. It is also the only

thin-wall cap available in the marketplace. The 8-cap strips fit both high and low profile 8-strips, but also the EU plates. The EU high profile strip with single attached caps does not need a special means for closure. The caps are already attached to every single tube of this strip, so that they can be opened individually.

All the EU strips already have a visible orientation because of the small holes on both ends, preventing the mixing up of samples by mistake.

The tubes work with 5 µl.

 

EU 0.2 ml thin-wall 8-tube strip (low profile)

 

Can be used in all 0.2 ml block regular and real-time thermal cyclers. For use in ABI/PE and BIOrad instruments with or without optical units the EU adaptor (B77777 or B77778) is needed to ensure good closure of the EU low profile 8-strips. Closure must be accomplished with EU optical thin-wall 8-cap strips (B79701).

Extreme Uniform (EU) Plates

 

EU 96 well plates have a very rigid frame, and a small skirt that makes them suited for robotic handling. They are very uniform in sizing and extremely flat and stable. The evaporation grades are in between 3 and 4%, depending on the means of closure. The EU plates can be closed with either the EU optical thin-wall 8-cap strip (B79701 series), or with the EU BIO-Seal.

Accessories

 

EU BIO-seal (optical, disposable, adhesive)

 

This disposable adhesive seal provides the best sealing option for the EU plates. The EU BIO-seal is non-pierceable, but can be easily removed after the PCR reaction is performed. A pressure, applied by the heated lid of a thermal cycler, is needed to keep the seal well closed during thermal cycling. EU BIO-seal has excellent optical properties, and is therefore a good choice for Real-Time PCR applications.

EU Adaptors

This EU adaptor is available in two configurations (96 and 24), and should be used whenever the low profile EU 0.2 ml thin-wall 8-tube strip is applied in ABI/PE or Biorad PCR and Real-Time PCR thermal cyclers. Because these cyclers do not have a height-adjustable heated lid, there is a space between the caps and the lid, causing the tube-strips to open and the reaction liquid to evaporate. For these thermal cyclers the EU high-profile products are the best solution.

EU Plate Extractor

 

Because of the improved contact angle of the EU plate, and the block design of ABI/PE thermal cyclers, it may be difficult to remove the EU plate from the PCR block. With the use of the EU Plate Extractor tool this problem is solved. The EU Plate Extractor is positioned over the plate after the PCR reaction is finished,

clicked along the edges of the EU plate, after which the plate can be withdrawn from the cycling block. The EU plate can then be easily removed from the extractor by pushing the extractor downwards on a flat surface, and releasing its hold on the EU plate. The plate is then slide from the extractor.
