PROCESS TUBE AND CARRIER TRAY

摘要

The disclosure provides a system and method to safely and efficiently store and transport process tubes (102) in a carrier tray (300) comprising prior to and during amplification of nucleotides in the process tubes (102). The process tube (102) disclosed includes a securement region having an annular ledge (204), a neck (228), and a protrusion (212). The securement region of the process tube (102) can secure the process tube (102) in a port of the carrier tray (300), but still allows the process tube (102) to adjust or float in order to align the process tube (102) into a rigid heater well (402) of a thermal cycler (400).
