Qiagen, 981400, Rotor-Disc OTV Kit

Kit for optical temperature verification of Rotor-Gene systems, includes a Rotor-Disc 72 preloaded with thermochromatic liquid crystals, fluorescent inserts, CD with calibration files; requires Rotor-Disc 72 Rotor and Locking Ring or Rotor-Disc 72 Starter Kit

Features

- Highly accurate, cost-effective temperature verification
- Easy and rapid procedure

Product Details

The Rotor-Disc OTV Kit enables optical temperature verification of Rotor-Gene Q real-time cyclers. Temperature verification using the kit requires a Rotor-Disc 72 Rotor and Locking Ring or a Rotor-Disc 72 Starter Kit.

Principle

Laboratories may want to routinely verify thermal accuracy of real-time cyclers. For most cyclers, this requires interaction with a service engineer. With the Rotor-Gene Q, this is not necessary. Instead, the easy-to-use, cost-effective Rotor-Disc OTV (Optical Temperature Verification) Kit automates accuracy testing.

Procedure

The kit includes a specialized Rotor-Disc filled with temperature-sensitive liquid crystals, fluorescent inserts, and a CD containing the files needed for running the temperature verification. Setup is quick and simple, and the entire temperature verification process is complete in about 40 minutes.

Applications

The Rotor-Disc OTV Kit is used to verify temperature accuracy of the Rotor-Gene Q.
