Abstract
The present invention relates generally to the fields of chemistry and molecular biology. More particularly, the present invention relates to thermally-conductive compositions and reaction tubes for chemical- and biochemical-based analytical processing. Compositions and reaction tubes in accordance with the invention comprise at least one plastic and at least one compound having a higher thermal conductivity than the at least one plastic to result in compositions and tubes having increased thermal conductivity when compared to the at least one plastic alone. Such compositions and tubes are capable of facilitating rapid heat transfer in numerous heat transfer applications. The thermally-conductive compositions and reaction tubes are especially suitable for containing reaction constituents during thermal cycling of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
