Calibration and Verification Kits
User Guide | 67
Important: The reagents must be used with the calibration or verification
values with the same lot number. If the values and reagents have different lot
numbers, the calibration and verification routines will fail.
Tip: When you open a new kit, continue to store the bottles in the original box
or write the lot number of the kit on each of the reagent bottles. This will make it
easier to keep track of which reagents are associated with a particular lot.
Importing the Calibration or Verification Values
The calibration kit CD and the verification kit CD contain values required to calibrate
the MAGPIX instrument and verify the results. Only one set of calibration values and
one set of verification values can be used at a time.
Best Practice
 Import the calibration or verification values as soon as you open a new kit.
To import the calibration or verification values
1. Navigate to the Maintenance view.
2. In the Select Kit section, click Import Kit.
3. Load the kit by doing one of the following:
 If you have the CD, place the calibration or verification kit CD in the DVD
drive and click Load from CD.
 If the file is on your computer, navigate to where it is located on the
computer, select the file, and click Open.
The lot number of the calibration kit or the verification kit appears in the Reagent
Block section of the Maintenance view. Use this number to verify that you are using
the correct calibration or verification values with your reagents.
