DriftconRF® system
The DriftconRF® system is a construction in which the thermistors are positioned in a holder, which has PCR plate dimensions. This "plate" also contains all processing electronics, calibration values, power cells, as well as RF communication electronics. While cycling, all temperature values are transmitted to the supplied RF USB dongle connected to the computer. Usage of the system is monitored by means of software and the DriftconRF® intelligent hardware.
DriftconRF® is an end-user product.
Use is recommended daily, weekly or monthly.
Measurements are performed statically as well as dynamically
Measurements on all (q) PCR closed systems non accessible by regular Driftcon systems, regardless brand or type
Measurements are related to the ITS-90 Scale
Measurements and test systems are NIST traceable
Accuracy is better than ±0.20°C over a range of 10 - 100°C Measurement range 5-100°C
Measurements of 15 channels simultaneously (2 Hz/channel)
Retrospective analysis, and movie player in place
Tests reports of drift, uniformity and accuracy, heat rate, cool rate, plateau time
Access to global user database
Instrument to instrument protocol transition tool
Conform GMP, GLP, ISO, Ster-Lab, governmental and association regulations
Recalibration every 120 measurements, usage counter on board, or annually
Important!
The DriftconRF® system addresses a new market segment that can not be served with a standard DRIFTCON® system. The use of the DriftconRF® system is only recommended in below mentioned instruments :
Applied Biosystems 7300 Real-Time PCR System
Applied Biosystems 7500 Real-Time PCR System
Applied Biosystems 7900 Fast Real-Time PCR System with standard 96-Well Block Module
Stratagene MX3000P, MX3005P
Nearly all other types of instruments can be measured using the standard DRIFTCON® systems. A measurement with a DriftconRF® system in other types of instruments can lead to unexpected results!
