The RapidFinder Express Software Kit Files can be installed by importing them into the RapidFinder Express Software by following these steps:
- Download the ZIP file for the desired pathogen assay and save it to a folder on your hard drive.
- Extract the pathogen assay ZIP file. You will see the three corresponding files with EDT, INI, and CSV file extensions in your folder. NOTE: Do not edit any of these files. Any changes will make them invalid.
- In the Main screen of RapidFinder Express Software v2.0, select ‘Manage System Settings’.
- In the Targets pane of the System Settings screen, click Browse. Select the INI file from the folder where you extracted the pathogen assay files.
- Open the INI file by double-clicking, then click Import.
- In the Targets pane of the System Settings screen, confirm that the assay module was added to the list of assays.
- Click Save and Close. The newly imported assay is now ready for use.
SureTect™ Automation Software
The SureTect Automation Software is used in combination with the Rapid Finder Analysis Software, offering easy-to-use access to the SureTect™ and RapidFinder™ PCR assays, including the validated workflows.
