Solving the “Little Annoyances” in PCR: Where Watson Makes a Big Difference

Solving the “Little Annoyances” in PCR: Where Watson Makes a Big Difference

Konnichiwa!

If you run PCR experiments regularly, you know the struggle:
everything has to be just right—temperature control, reagent volumes, thermal cycling settings.
A single inconsistency can throw off the entire reaction.

But beyond the science itself, what about the tools?
Have you ever caught yourself thinking:

“If only this lid stayed on a bit tighter...”
“This tube is just a little too rigid.”
“Why does this plate warp during the cycle?”

These aren’t major issues on paper—but in reality, they can slow down your workflow and reduce the reliability of your results.
At Watson, we listen closely to these “researcher frustrations”, and we design PCR consumables that quietly—but powerfully—solve them.

🔍 Sound familiar? Here are some common PCR pain points:
・Loose-fitting lids lead to evaporation

・Thin plates warp and mess with automation

・Inconsistent wall thickness affects thermal conduction

・Labeling errors occur in automated systems

・Reagent clings to tube walls, increasing waste

We’ve heard it all—and we’ve built our PCR product line to address these issues one by one.

🔬 Here’s what makes Watson PCR consumables stand out:
✅ Uniform thin-walled tubes
Excellent thermal conductivity ensures even heat distribution for consistent amplification.

✅ Non-pillar PCR plates
Perfect for automation—reducing read errors and ensuring compatibility with robotic systems.

✅ Optimized sealing
Secure closure that prevents evaporation without requiring excessive force to open.

✅ DNase/RNase/Pyrogen-free
All products are manufactured in our in-house cleanroom facilities in Japan for maximum reliability and purity.

✅ Wide range of formats
From individual 0.2 mL tubes to fully automated 96-well plates—we've got what your protocol needs.

At Watson, we don’t just make labware—we make sure it works the way you wish it would.
No flashy gimmicks, just smart engineering based on the day-to-day frustrations of scientists like you.

This week on our blog, we’re diving deeper into these behind-the-scenes details—
and showing how a few thoughtful design choices can make your PCR work smoother, faster, and more reliable.

Check it out and let us know—what’s your “little lab annoyance” we should fix next?
