When a PCR run does not use a full plate, the first choice is usually the format: individual tubes or an 8-strip. The answer depends on how samples are arranged and handled in the lab. Capacity comes next. It should not be confused with physical dimensions.
The current A-GEN single-tube page lists two 200 uL options. PCR-02 is a transparent PCR single tube with a flat lid. PCR-02L is a transparent, flat-cover, low-adsorption version. Both are listed in packs of 1,000 tubes, with ten packs per box. This format suits work where samples are handled one at a time or where the number of reactions changes from run to run.
The 8-strip range gives another way to organise a small group of samples. The live product page lists 100 uL and 200 uL formats, including PCR-0108H (100 uL, transparent), PCR-0208H (200 uL, transparent) and PCR-0208H-W (200 uL, white). The product brochure confirms a 125-strip inner pack for the eight-strip family. The page's existing FAQ also notes that the connected-tube design can be cut for flexible use; labs should validate that handling approach in their own process.
Searchers sometimes ask for "PCR tube dimensions" when they are trying to compare 100 uL and 200 uL products. Those are nominal capacities, not outside diameter or tube height. The public A-GEN pages and brochure reviewed here do not give millimetre dimensions. If tube fit in a particular block, rack or automated workflow matters, ask for the technical sheet for the exact model number before ordering.

FAQ
What PCR tube capacities are currently listed?
The two current single-tube models are 200 uL. The current 8-strip range includes 100 uL and 200 uL options.
Are 200 uL PCR tubes all physically identical?
Do not assume that they are. Confirm the exact model's technical document when physical fit is a requirement.
