Quanta Biotech Q-TAS Temperature Acquisition System for PCR Calibration - 96-Well Probe Plate Kit

The Quanta Biotech Q-TAS (Temperature Acquisition System) is a high-precision diagnostic tool designed for the validation and calibration of PCR thermal cyclers. This external system utilizes a specialized 96-well probe plate that mimics a standard PCR plate, allowing it to measure the actual temperature across all wells of a thermal cycler block simultaneously. This is critical for laboratory compliance (GLP/GMP), as it identifies "cold spots" or temperature non-uniformity that could lead to failed experiments or inconsistent results. The data is captured via the handheld Q-TAS interface and can be analyzed using the included QTAS2 software to generate detailed calibration reports.
