• Validations for microplate absorbance readers and microplate fluorometers. Validate the position, linearity, channels, repetition accuracy and long term stability of your instrument.
• History Tracking for validations. The QC Database provides History Tracking for all performed QC tests.
• Who did what and when? The QC Database stores information on who did what and when, and an evaluation of all QC measurement data.
• Link to MikroWin 2000. The QC Database provides a link to MikroWin 2000 to show the details of the QC results.
• Two-level user rights. These rights authorize users to perform specific actions, such as performing a QC test or administering the QC Database.
• QC Measurement Reminder. MikroWin 2000 supports a QC Measurement Reminder. Remind the user to perform a QC test every day, month, year or according to your needs.
• Plate Validation Reminder. The QC Database supports a Plate Validation Reminder to remind the user to validate the QC plate by the manufacturer.
• Fluorescent Plexiglas. The QC Plate has red fluorescent plexiglass to validate microplate fluorometers.

The QC Plate has 4 narrow wells (A01, H01, A12, H12) to validate the position of the microplate. At all other blank wells, red fluorescent plexiglass is used, in order to generate different OD-values for different measurement filters. It has 4 neutral density filters (D06, D08, D10, D12) to validate the linearity of your instrument. A blank row (B), a blank column (02), a blank well (G05) surrounded by covered wells and a covered well (G08) surrounded by blank wells to check the repetition accuracy, the channels and the long term stability of your microplate photometer. 

The QC Plate is measured 3 times to check the repetition accuracy of your instrument. Only the data of the first measurement is used to validate the position, the linearity, the long term stability and the channels of your instrument. To validate the long term stability of the measurements, MikroWin 2000 compares the current QC measurement data with the measurement data of the first performed QC test.

Due to the variances of microplate absorbance readers and microplate fluorometers the analysis of QC measurement data can be different. The Reader QC Package comes with a set of qc template files for your instrument. It’s an easy to use solution. Just insert the QC Plate into your microplate absorbance reader or microplate fluorometer and click Run to perform a QC test. The QC Database handles all readings and MikroWin 2000 handles the instrument control, data collection and analysis. The QC Database imports the QC results from MikroWin 2000 automatically. You can print a report for a peformed QC test:
