​
The Phosentix MicroQC™ Insight Plate facilitates verification of incubator temperature and shaking performance of microplate readers. The latest version of the plate supports 6 independent temperature sensors and sophisticated interpolation software to provide heat-maps of the incubator temperature, It is designed to work seamlessly with a variety of 96 well microplate readers, including popular brands such as Agilent™, Berthold™, Biotek™, BMG LABTECH™, Hidex, Molecular Devices™, Perkin Elmer™, Promega™, Tecan™, and others.
​​
Performance of your microplate reader is monitored in real-time using Phosentix Insight software over a Bluetooth connection. The software has real-time recording and reporting features and is included with the purchase of the MicroQC Insight plate.
​
​
Microplate readers should be routinely evaluated and verified with an independent reference source and the Phosentix MicroQC™ Plate can serve that need. Many laboratories work under strict Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) or Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) that are defined by outside agencies. The Phosentix MicroQC™ microplate can be used by the laboratory scientist to QC a microplate reader in this working environment.
​
The Phosentix MicroQC™ Plate offers National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable absorbance and temperature measurements for the best available quality control standards.
​
The Phosentix MicroQC™ Plate can be integrated into your standard operating procedures, QC functions, or performance qualification for your microplate reader providing assurance that your reader is operating properly. For monitoring changes in the microplate reader over time baseline measurements can be made of the MicroQC Plate thus providing a historical benchmark to which future measurements can be compared.
​
The plate is provided with a MicroQC Plate Analysis worksheet that can be used on any computer with Microsoft Excel™. Simply cut and paste the data from your microplate reader software into the MicroQC Plate Analysis worksheet and the results from your testing will be automatically calculated and a determination of microplate reader analytical suitability made.
