Inheco OVT - ODTC® Verification Tool
Check your On Deck Thermal Cycler is working perfectly
Thermal cyclers have become an essential tool in genomics, molecular biology and biotechnology. They’re used for amplifying genetic material, like NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) library preparation or any other kind of PCR. The ODTC is the perfect choice for any molecular biological reaction that requires maximum precision in temperature.The ODTC® Verification Tool (OVT) enables quick and reliable performance checks of your ODTC® system under real operating conditions. Designed for routine maintenance as well as IQ/OQ validation, it delivers automated test results-including heating/cooling rates, temperature accuracy, precision and uniformity-in just 25 minutes with an audit-ready PDF report.
Easy to use and highly accurate, the OVT fits perfectly into the system and replicates real PCR conditions. Available for both 96- and 384-well formats, it ensures consistent, validated performance and comes with certified calibration support for long-term reliability.
Broad scope of applications, the OVT can be used for
- Verification and calibration
- Installation Qualification (IQ)
