LightCycler® Nano Software Highlights
Using a PC or Mac, LightCycler® Nano Software allows you to:
Start quickly with demo files and default settings
Easily enter and manage sample and target information
Analyze fluorescent signals with ease
Use zoom and lasso functions for data display optimization
Change perspectives easily when analyzing your data
Use intuitive plate views and heat maps
Quickly and easily use demo files and predefined default settings
For each application, the LightCycler® Nano Software has predefined templates and temperature profile building blocks (e.g., for 2- or 3-step amplification protocols or melting curves), when starting a new run.
Sensitivity settings for each dye and application are easily chosen, and fine-tuned starting from default settings.
Easily manage sample and target information
Enter sample and target information before, during or after a run. Quickly provide information about individual wells, or a replicate group.
Analyze fluorescent signals with ease
In a LightCycler® Nano run, all wavelengths between 510 nm and 750 nm are measured simultaneously for all tubes. This means dyes to be used and analyzed do not need to be defined by the user prior to a run.
Simply choose and display the wavelengths you want to analyze at the end of the run, or have a look at the full spectrum.
Use zoom and lasso functions for data display optimization
Zoom to detect signal nuances (e.g., for differential HRM plots), or to fine tune settings (e.g., to set thresholds for quantification).
Use lasso to easily highlight individual amplification or melting curves.
Change perspectives easily when analyzing your data
Juxtapose different results, and switch between views. Plot results with respect to either the sample or target.
Conveniently display amplification signals and standard curves next to each other.
Use intuitive plate views and heat maps
LightCycler® Nano Software plate views match the physical instrument layout, displaying information about each well (e.g., Cq values or genotypes) and enabling easy sample selection.
Color-coded heat maps show the expected Cq values, so you can spot outliers in seconds. Simply place the cursor over a well to display a tooltip with the appropriate Cq value.
