Calibration Wizard
The CFX96 Touch, CFX96 Touch Deep Well, and CFX Connect systems are factory calibrated 
for commonly used fluorophores in white-well and clear-well plates. The CFX384 Touch 
system is factory calibrated for the same fluorophores in white-well plates only (Table 46).
The CFX96 Touch system, CFX96 Touch Deep Well system, CFX Connect system, and the 
CFX384 Touch system also includes a channel dedicated to FRET chemistry; this channel 
does not require calibration for specific dyes. 
To open the Calibration Wizard to calibrate the CFX96 Touch, CFX96 Touch Deep Well, CFX 
Connect, or CFX384 Touch real-time PCR system:
1. Select an instrument in the detected instruments pane.
2. Select Tool > Calibration Wizard to open the window and calibrate new dye and plate 
combinations (Figure 104).
