Analyzer
The analyzer
is a
rapid thermal
block
cycler with
integrated
real-time
detection
capabilities.
Multiplex
real time
PCR assays
allow
the
simultaneous
detection
of
signals
from
rnultiple
dyes.
This
leaves It open
how
many
filters are used
by different
IVD assays.
As a benefit
of
this,
multiple resuits
can
be
reported
from a single
run.

damage and
incorrect

unsealed
microweil
plate
Before loading
the
microweli
plate
into the
analyzer, it
has to be sealed
properly
with the
self-adhesive
sealing
film.
Sealing
the plate is
crucial to
eliminate evaporation
at high
temperatures.
Unsealed
microwell
plates may damage
the
analyzer or
lead to
incorrect
results.
Always
seal the
microweil
plate
before loading
the
plate
into the analyzer.
For details about
sealing of
the microwell plate,
refer
to the test-specific
Operator’s
Manual.
