After completing a run, this tab displays the real-time amplification charts. It provides interactive tools to manually or automatically adjust baseline thresholds, review Cqcap C sub q values, check standard curve R2cap R squared values, and evaluate amplification efficiency percentages. Important Safety and Security Notice
If your system requires specialized regulatory licensing (such as the CFX Manager Security Edition for US FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliance), contact your regional Bio-Rad account representative directly. 6. Upgrading from CFX Manager to CFX Maestro
| Feature Category | Specific Capabilities | Benefits for Researchers | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | One-click experimental setup with the Startup Wizard; real-time monitoring of the PCR run. | Simplifies workflow, reduces user error, and allows for immediate assessment of run quality. | | Data Analysis | Automatic baseline subtraction and Cq (quantification cycle) value calculation; analysis for gene expression and SNP genotyping studies. | Provides standardized, reproducible data output, freeing researchers from manual calculations. | | Visualization | Graphical data representation (e.g., amplification plots, melt curves) that helps quickly interpret and understand results. | Facilitates rapid data assessment and identification of anomalies. | | Compatibility | Compatible with all CFX platforms (e.g., CFX96, CFX384, CFX Connect) and Bio-Rad's PrimePCR assays. | Ensures seamless integration with existing Bio-Rad instruments and validated assays. | Bio-rad Cfx Manager 3.1 Free-- Download
