TVS Temperature Verification System For BMS Distributors Only

No Calibration Required Nothing to degrade • Common block based cyclers use Peltier elements. • Peltier’s age as does the heat sink compound that keeps them in thermal contact with the block and the heat sink below. • Mic is a non-contact system. The rotor is not in contact with anything physical just the induction field. • That's why nothing changes over time. Minimal sensor drift over time. • Thermal sensor embedded in spinning rotor. • Measures rotor temperature directly. • Drift reported by manufacturer to be < 1. 5% after 6000 h at 100°C 1 Temperature Verification System. 1 Source: Phil Waterworth (2003) Reliability Studies on Betatherm For laboratories requiring certification of equipment.

Mic TVS Temperature Verification System Assured System Performance • Designed to meet the rigorous requirements of international quality standards, Mic TVS will verify thermal accuracy of your Mic instrument. • It uses a sensor permanently embedded in a tube so we know exactly what the temperature inside your tubes are. • Each Mic TVS is calibrated in house on a system traceable to a NATA reference standard. Plug and Play • The process is so simple anyone can do it! • Built right into the Mic software is a wizard to guide you step by step through the process. • Upon completion a report is generated which can be printed and stored for your documentation. • The whole process is completed in less than 25 minutes. Calibration of TVS • In addition we offer an annual calibration service for your Mic TVS so you can be sure your instruments are always performing at their best. 3

Comparative Validation Costs Company Product or Service Qiagen Rotor-Disc OTV $1, 400 Light sensitive, short shelf life with maximum usage of 30 tests per rotor. Bio-Rad Thermal Validation Service $3, 000 Onsite service. Technician needs to fly in. Thermo-Fisher On-site Temperature Verification Service $4, 500 Has to be conducted as a complete maintenance package. Technician from Thermo-Fisher needs to fly in and it takes over a day to do. Cycler Test MTAS Calibration Cost (USD) $600 Notes Done through distributor. Distributor pays a licence fee for each test. Cycler Test captures all the data for each test. Setup is tedious and takes over an hour to complete.

Using the TVS Setup Verification Report Plug TVS unit into PC. Follow the Wizard instructions. Report provides a document of the verification. Load sensor tubes into Mic. Completed in less than 25 min. 5
