data import

qBasePlus supports direct data import from export files (*.TXT, *.CSV or *.XLS 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.
