Beckman Coulter has introduced two new software packages and a verification system for its DTX series multimode detectors, increasing power and ease of use as well as providing tools for 21 CFR Part 11 and other regulatory compliance.
Enhancements to DTX software and systems
The new enhancements û multimode analysis software, accounts and permissions software and multimode check plate û can be implemented separately or together, for a comprehensive detector solution. The new multimode analysis software supports all three DTX detection modes û fluorescence, absorbance and luminescence û and includes a user-friendly interface for easy set-up of assay protocols for genomics, proteomics, cellular analysis and other research. The program provides a wide range of data analysis functions, including standard curves, data reduction, cut-off groups and transformation formulas. Results can be recalculated quickly using different parameters without rerunning the plate, and users can also choose from a variety of data handling and output options. With the new multimode check plate system, users can verify the detectorÆs performance easily to meet good laboratory practice requirements. With a single reference test plate and simple software, all available DTX detection modes can be checked automatically. A summary report delivers basic pass/fail results or more specific test data, if needed.
