Real-Time PCR Instrument Calibration and Verification Kits

Quickly and easily calibrate and verify the performance of your Applied Biosystems real-time PCR system using our instrument-specific kits and plates.

Applied Biosystems spectral calibration kits establish the pure dye spectra and multicomponent values (standards) for each reference dye. These standards enable the real-time PCR system to collect pure spectral information, which it uses algorithmically to help ensure accurate data analysis. Depending on which Applied Biosystems instrument you have, there are plate options for individual dye calibration or multi-dye plates that enable simultaneous calibration, which can greatly reduce the time and effort spent on maintenance.

Confirm the performance of your Applied Biosystems instrument with a TaqMan RNase P instrument verification plate. These plates are pre-loaded with real-time PCR reagents and the TaqMan Assay for the single-copy RNase P gene. Each well contains PCR master mix, RNase P primers, FAM dye-labeled probe, and a known concentration of human genomic DNA template.

Always consult your instrument user guide for the recommended calibration/verification schedule and instructions.
