Abstract:
The invention discloses disposable polymeric vessels or tip products (26), having a thin area upon at least a portion of the vessel or tip, for use in medical and scientific laboratories. The thin area (38) has a thickness of less than 100 microns. Examples of such products are test-tubes, microtubes and multiwell plates. The thin area is transparent, and is advantageous for: performance of optical assays, and in performance of attraction and transfer of magnetic particles. Methods for manufacturing the polymeric vessel and tip products are disclosed.
