NOTICE
Unsuitable sample vessels and microtiter plates can lead to instrument damage and in-
correct results.
¡ Only use sample vessels and microtiter plates that are suitable for a PCR application.
¡ Seal the samples. Use the sample vessels with lids and adhesive foil for microtiter
plates.
¡ The optical transparency of the foils affects the fluorescence signal directly. Use only
clear adhesive foils and optical lids as offered for real-time PCR.
Sample blocks in 96-well SBS format are suitable for use with 0.2mL individual tubes,
8-well strips and 96-well microtiter plates.
Sample block in 384-well SBS format are only suitable for use with standard PCR plates
with 384 wells.
These and other consumables can be ordered from Analytik Jena.
Regardless of the sealing method used, thanks to the lid technology, the same pressure
is always applied to the consumables for absolutely reproducible conditions.
The device is not limited to specific detection reagents or the plastic products of a spe-
cific manufacturer.
4.2.5 Software
The device can be controlled via the qPCRsoft software on an external PC or an inte-
grated tablet.
