We recommend several protective devices to protect the instrument in environments
with large v
oltage and power uctuations.
Power line regulator
We recommend the use of a 1.5-kVA power line regulator in areas where the supplied
power uctuates in excess of ± 10% of the normal voltage. Power uctuations can
adversely aect the function of the instrument.
Note: A power line regulator monitors the input current and adjusts the power
supplied to the instrument or computer. It does not protect against a power surge or
failure.
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
We recommend the use of a 1.5-kVA uninterruptible power supply (UPS), especially
in areas prone to power failure. Power failures and other events that abruptly
terminate the function of the QuantStudio
12K Flex System can corrupt data and
possibly damage the computer or the instrument.
IMPORTANT! UPSs provide pow
er for a limited time. They are meant to delay the
eects of a power outage, not to serve as replacement power sources. In the event of a
power loss, power o the instrument and the computer, unless you expect to regain
power within the baery life of the UPS.
Surge protector
W
e recommend the use of a 10-kVA surge protector (line conditioner) in areas with
frequent electrical storms or near devices that are electrically noisy, such as
refrigerators, air conditioners, or centrifuges. Short-duration, high-voltage power
uctuations can abruptly terminate the function of, and thereby damage the
components of, the computer and the instrument.
Note: A dedicated line and ground between the instrument/computer and the
building’s main electrical service can also prevent problems caused by power
uctuations.
Instrument software
The QuantStudio
6 and 7 Flex Systems include a suite of software applications that
can be used to calibrate, run, automate, and integrate the instrument into a laboratory
workow. The installation of the software contains the components described in the
following sections; however, additional software may be available for the
QuantStudio
6 and 7 Flex Systems. Go to thermosher.com/qpcrsoftware for a
complete list of compatible software, and for updates and patches for the system
software and rmware.
The requirements for the computer used to operate the QuantStudio
6 and 7 Flex
Systems can vary depending on the version of the QuantStudio
Real-Time PCR
Software that you are running. To determine the computer requirements for your
system, check the software release notes at thermosher.com/qpcrsoftware. The
release notes are on the same page as the link for the software download.
