QIAcuity Software Suite
Version 2.2
The QIAcuity Software Suite enables the user to set up plates, analyze results, and monitor the status of runs in real time. This software is also used for the configuration of the system and provides access to the QIAcuity user management. The QIAcuity Software Suite is designed to be installed on a Windows PC that is connected to one or more QIAcuity instruments. For this configuration, the QIAcuity instrument needs to be connected to a network through Ethernet. Alternatively, a direct cable connection between the QIAcuity and the notebook where the QIAcuity Software Suite is running needs to be established. When connected to a network, up to 10 users may access the QIAcuity Software Suite via a browser installed on the client PC (Windows or Mac).
The new version 2.2 of the QIAcuity software (QIAcuity Software Suite v 2.2 and QIAcuity CSW v 2.2.) offers improvements for users working under GMP by adding a user ID validation during the report signing and the addition of timezone offset stamp for audit trail entries and for result report data. Furthermore, the addition of a standard deviation and coefficient of variance calculation in percentage of mean concentration calculation for replicates where implemented. In addition, the instrument camera stability was improved and an internal validation method was implemented.
Detailed information about the QIAcuity Software Suite version 2.2 is available in the Release Note, which can also be downloaded under section “Software Release Notes”.
Note: The latest Software Suite version 2.2 is only compatible with the latest Control Software (CSW) version 2.2. If only one software component is updated, no connection between the Software Suite and the CSW can be established.
Important: Please follow the instructions provided in the QIAcuity User Manual for software version 2.2 and in the Release Note.
It is strongly recommended to update the QIAcuity Software Suite first before proceeding with the QIAcuity Control Software.
