This kit is used to maintain your ViiA 7, QuantStudio 6 Flex, QuantStudio 7 Flex, and QuantStudio 12k Flex real-time PCR systems with Fast 96-well block. It includes calibration plates to perform a spectral calibration with FAM, VIC, ROX, SYBR Green, TAMRA, NED dyes, plates to perform region-of-interest (ROI) calibration, normalization calibration, and to run an RNase P verification. Calibration and verification should be run at least every six months. Please see your instrument maintenance guide for full instructions on use.

The dye formulations for your real-time PCR system will improve results with multiplexing by more accurately representing fluorescent spectra found in your real-time PCR experiments.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

Do I need to back up my calibration files before I upgrade the software for the ViiA7 Real-Time PCR System?

No, you do not need to back up the calibration files as all of the calibration files are stored on the ViiA7 Real-Time PCR instrument. Once the computer software is properly installed and the computer is connected to the instrument, the calibration information will automatically update in the QuantStudio Software.

Can I still start a run on the ViiA7 Real-Time PCR System if the "Calibration is expired" notification is displayed?

Yes, you can still start a run on the ViiA7 Real-Time PCR System if the expired calibration notice displays. This is just a reminder and you can close it to proceed with the run. Additionally, you can change when you want the notifications to show up and how frequently you want to be notified to calibrate the instrument. To do this, go to the toolbar in the QuantStudio Software and select Instrument > Instrument Console. Select your instrument icon and click on Manager Instrument > Maintenance > Calibration Reminders. From the Calibration reminders Settings page you can update when the calibrations expire, turn expiration reminders on/off, and set when the reminders show up.
