This test checks the measurement capabilities of any 2-channel real time PCR thermoycler in a 100 μL or 200 μL tube format to verify the correct function of both the hardware and software of the thermocycler. 

Whenever there are unspecific results from a PCR test and it is unknown if the failure originates from a hardware error or from false sample handling, you can check the correct function of your thermocycler instrument by just running a functionality test. It is especially useful after moving the instrument or after a calibration was done. With the Functionality Kit, you can easily verify that your sample DNA is measured correct and the software read-out gives out the results within the correct concentration ranges, too.
