Qualification

Verify that your BactoBox® setup works as intended

This page teaches you how to qualify your BactoBox® setup. That is, to verify that your BactoBox® setup works as intended.

Once done, you have a qualified BactoBox® setup that you can use to measure your own samples.

Step by step

To qualify your BactoBox® setup, perform a QC test using only SBT dilution vials (bundled as DV01).

Always use SBT dilution vials (bundled as DV01) when you qualify

This is different from a regular (weekly) QC test where the choice of dilution vial depends on your use case.

SBT dilution vials maintain a high quality standard, as these vials undergo rigorous quality checks.

See the QC test tutorial for next steps:

When to qualify

Qualify your BactoBox® in these cases:

• At least once a year.

• When you relocate your BactoBox® setup. Example: You install your BactoBox® for the very first time. Example: You ship your BactoBox® to another physical location. Example: You get your BactoBox® back from service/repair at SBT.
