File Builder 3.1

File Builder by Applied Biosystems is a companion utility that streamlines the setup of real-time PCR and genotyping experiments. It enables you to define assays and targets, map them to plate or array positions, and enter sample information in a clear, consistent format. The software then generates instrument-ready setup files that integrate smoothly with Applied Biosystems instruments and downstream analysis tools. By standardizing templates and validating layouts before a run, File Builder helps reduce manual errors, accelerate experiment setup, and improve data consistency across projects and teams.

Key capabilities:

• Create and reuse templates for plates, cards, and arrays
• Assign assays and samples, including replicates and controls
• Import and export layouts using common spreadsheet formats (e.g., CSV)
• Validate designs to catch missing or conflicting entries
• Produce setup files compatible with Applied Biosystems workflows

This concise, guided approach supports efficient, reproducible experiment preparation in molecular biology and genomics labs.
