data import

qbase^PLUS supports direct data import from export files (*.TXT, *.CSV, *.XLS, or *.XLSX format) generated by most real-time PCR instrument software programs.  Because these instrument software programs generally offer different ways to export the real-time PCR data, this page explains how to create a suitable export file for your system. Should your instrument or software not be listed, please send us an email with some example files and we'll add it! For all supported instruments and softwares programs, an example file can be downloaded to troubleshoot possible import problems.

qBase files (.xls or .xlsx) can be used to get your data from the discontinued Ghent University qBase software into qbase^PLUS. It is also a simple, instrument independent, and self-explanatory file format. The qBase file type proves useful if you encounter problems importing your data from using one of the many file formats that are supported. Most file types (provided they are in a tabular format containing Cq values) can relatively easy be transformed into qBase files.
