Abstract

See full text

The embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for producing an evaporation barrier in a PCR vial. In some embodiments, beads with a particular distribution in diameters can be used to produce a barrier for reducing the evaporation of liquid PCR samples within the PCR vial. In some embodiments, the beads can be pre-filled in the PCR vial. In use, liquid samples and/or liquid reagents can be introduced in the PCR vial pre-filled with the beads, such that the beads can be driven to the surface of the liquid PCR sample through the buoyancy of the beads.
