ABSTRACT:
A one-piece sample tube for use in a PCR thermal cycler having a first substantially cylindrically shaped upper wall section having an external conically beveled shoulder moulded around the entire circumference of the section, the thickness of the wall section above the shoulder being about 0.022 inches and the thickness of the wall section below the shoulder being about 0.015 inches. The sample tube further includes a second lower wall section having a frustrum of a cone shape with an included angle of about 17 degrees, the lower wall section having a thickness of 0.009 inches the second section holding about 100 microliters of liquid. The tube is compliant and made from polypropylene and is autoclavable.
