Version 2.1.8

The QIAcuity Control Software (CSW) is an integral part of the QIAcuity instrument. It offers a GUI (graphical user interface) for basic functionalities such as plate setup, changing the order of plates to be processed, and monitoring the status of runs in real time. After a run is completed, the data are stored on the instrument’s memory and are sent to the connected QIAcuity Software Suite for analysis.

The new version 2.1.8 of the QIAcuity software (QIAcuity Software Suite version 2.1.8 and QIAcuity CSW version 2.1.8) offers bug fixes for repeated network connection issues and improved error handling. In addition, it fixes issues seen with latest versions of Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome browsers as well as issues seen with read-only plates after a software update.

Detailed information about the QIAcuity Control Software version 2.1.8 is available in the Release Note, which can also be downloaded under section “Software Release Notes”.

Note: The latest CSW version 2.1.8 is only compatible with the latest Software Suite version 2.1.8. 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 2.1 and in the Release Note. It is strongly recommended to update the QIAcuity Software Suite first before proceeding with the QIAcuity Control Software!
