Configure the instrument settings

After you install the QuantStudio

3D Digital PCR Instrument, you can configure the

instrument settings for your region as explained below.

Note: The serial number of the QuantStudio

3D Instrument is the default instrument

name. We recommend that you name the QuantStudio

3D Instrument uniquely.

While not critical to network function, unique instrument names can aid with sample

tracking and instrument troubleshooting. The QuantStudio

3D Instrument does not

test the uniqueness of the instrument name when it is set.

From the Main Menu of the touchscreen, touch , then touch Instrument

Settings.

In the Instrument Settings menu, touch Instrument Name.

In the Instrument Name screen, touch the Instrument Name field.

In the Edit Instrument Name screen, enter up to a 16-character name for the

instrument, then touch Enter.

IMPORTANT! The instrument name is an alphanumeric string used to identify

the QuantStudio

3D Instrument on the network. The instrument name:

Can be up to 16 characters long.

Must consist of alphabetic and numeric characters.

Can contain hyphens, but not as the first or last characters in the name.

Cannot include spaces or special characters ( ; : " < > * + = \ | ? , ).

Touch OK when done to save the setting, then touch

to return to the Main

Menu.
