When should an intensity calibration be re-performed on the QIAxcel System?

Data for each cartridge intensity calibration on the QIAxcel System is stored in a single file named 'calibration.log'. This file is saved in the BioCalculator root directory C:\Program Files\BioCalculator.

If, for any reason, a different computer is used than the one containing the calibration.log file, the file should be transferred to the new computer. Otherwise, recalibration of the cartridge is required.

Likewise, if the QIAxcel Gel cartridge is used on a different instrument than the one it was calibrated on, another intensity calibration should be performed.
