Will ultra thin wall (UTW) vessels automatically speed up reactions on my conventional thermal cycler?

To realize the time savings of the UTW plastics on conventional thermal cyclers, optimization of the protocol is required. This typically involves reducing hold times and changing the actual hold temperatures.

Are ultra thin wall (UTW) vessels prone to break more often because of their thinner walls?

When used as instructed, these vessels are remarkably robust and can handle typical laboratory conditions, without fracturing or resulting in loss of volume. It is recommended that, when applying caps, a proper tray be used to protect the bottom of the tubes from excessive force that is typically used.
