Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I run strip tubes on the ViiA 7 instrument?

Yes. Make sure to use the appropriate matching parts. For the 96-well standard block, use the standard 96-well plate adapter (Cat. No. 4459845), the retainer tray for (0.2 mL) tubes, and Optical 8-Tube Strips and Caps (Cat. No. 4316567 and 4323032). For the 96-well Fast block, use the Fast 96-well plate adapter (Cat. No. 4462078), the retainer tray (Cat. No. 4379983), and Fast (0.1 mL) Optical 8-tube Caps and Strips (Cat. Nos. 4323032 and 4358293).

What is the difference between the MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Covers and the MicroAmp Optical Caps? Can they be used interchangeably?

The MicroAmp Optical Adhesive Covers (P/N 4311971) have a higher optical efficiency than the MicroAmp Optical Caps, (8 caps/strip) (P/N 4323032). They can be used instead of the MicroAmp Optical Caps only when using the MicroAmp 96-Well Reaction Plate with Barcode (P/N 4306737, 4309849) or the MicroAmp Optical 96-Well Reaction Plate (P/N N801-0560). The Optical Adhesive Covers cannot be used with the MicroAmp Optical Tubes.
