During the 19th International Metrology Congress in Paris, CYCLERtest presented a comparison between an in-tube- and in-well thermal cycler calibration method.

Preferred method
The study – performed with BIOplastics’ tubes – showed that it is feasible to develop an in-tube method with a low measurement uncertainty. However, due to the large impact of the tube-to-well fit on the measurement uncertainty and the large variability between tubes, it is not practical to use in-tube methods for metrology purposes.
An in-well thermal cycler calibration method is therefore the preferred option.
