How can I get a summary of the calibrations performed on the QuantStudio 6 and 7 Flex Real-Time PCR Systems?
You can get a summary of the calibrations from the QuantStudio Software by going to Instrument > Instrument Console > Manage Instrument > Information > Print Calibration Log.
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.
