| General description: | The GDS OTV (Optical Temperature Verification) Insert provides automated performance verification and dynamic calibration of the GDS Rotor-Gene. The OTV system uses the chemical properties of thermochromic liquid crystals (TLC) as an absolute temperature reference. When heated, a TLC changes from opaque to transparent at a very precise temperature. The Rotor-Gene can measure this precise temperature transition point and, by comparing the measured in-tube thermal transition point to the known calibrated value, the OTV software verifies that the Rotor-Gene is within specification. If necessary, the OTV software allows the user to automatically recalibrate the instrument with a simple push of a button. A printable post-run report documents each test and any necessary recalibration. |
