Product Name:

DNA LoBind® Tubes

Catalog Number:

022431021

I routinely work with small amounts of plasmid, PCR product, and template DNA that go into sensitive downstream steps like cloning, qPCR, and sequencing. I use these LoBind tubes to store and handle dilute DNA where loss to the tube wall would meaningfully cut my yield.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Application

Storage and handling of low-concentration nucleic acid samples

Starting Material

Purified DNA

Tips

None

Results Summary

These tubes substantially improved recovery of dilute DNA compared with standard tubes, preserving sample concentration through storage and freeze-thaw

Summary

The Good

Reduces DNA loss to tube walls

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

Whenever your DNA is dilute or irreplaceable, use these tubes
