qbase+ supports direct data import from export files (.txt, .csv, .xls, or .xlsx) generated by most real-time PCR instrument software programs. Because these instrument software programs generally offer different ways to export the real-time PCR data, this page explains how to create a suitable export file from your system.
Should your instrument or software not be listed, please contact us with some example files and we'll add it!
For all supported instruments and softwares programs, an example file can be downloaded to troubleshoot possible import problems. In addition, 3 general and instrument independent formats are available:
