C1000 Manager Software
The C1000 Manager Software is for use either on a standalone PC or on a PC directly connected to a C1000 Thermal Cycler. On a standalone PC, the software can be used to create and optimize protocols that are transferable, via a USB device, to a cycler. When a PC is connected to a C1000 Thermal Cycler, the software can be used to program and control the cycler. A PC connected to a C1000 Thermal Cycler can control up to three S1000™ Thermal Cyclers daisy chained to the C1000 Thermal Cycler. Operates on PCs running Windows XP or Windows Vista.
Features and Benefits
- Directly control up to 8 C1000 Thermal Cyclers via cable from the computer to USB B ports on the cyclers; each C1000 Thermal Cycler can be connected to 3 S1000 Thermal Cyclers via USB A ports on the back of the C1000 Thermal Cyclers, providing control for up to 32 cyclers
- Send protocols to connected thermal cyclers and start runs on individual or multiple blocks, either independently or simultaneously
- Monitor the progress of individual blocks/instruments from a central screen
- Create and manage user profiles, preferences, and access privileges
- View, zip, and send report logs; receive email notifications
