"It’s a really easy to use machine, does exactly what is required of it, however, the software is impossible. It is not intuitive, the software doesn’t allow the run to start when something is programmed wrongly. Normally, this would be a good thing, however it DOES NOT tell you what went wrong with the programming so that you can fix it. When exporting to excel, it has one fixed format, exporting by rows, and cannot be changed to export by column. Also when making selections of genes/samples in labelling, you have to click directly on the tick boxes, clicking on the words does not make the selection. This may seem trivial, but is really not helpful when you have to click a small .5*.5 sized box to make your selection. It’s a great machine, but really, software could be a whole lot better and more user friendly to make it better."   |

"We commonly use the Viia7 in our molecular lab--it's super easy to set up and we've had no issues with running multiple plates on it. We've also had the opportunity to run arrays and those are easy to setup and run as well. The ExpressionSuite software that's associated with the instrument is a little clunky and can take some time to figure out. Another problem is that the automated arm program to setup multiple plates can't be open while you set up the plates. We would recommend this to other colleagues and individuals who need to run RT-PCR plates in the lab. We've been impressed with the ease of plate setup--there is just a bit of a learning curve associated with the figuring out ExpressionSuite on the outset but otherwise it's great." |

"Excellent, quick system for switching between 96 x 364 plates. Excellent value for money, we got a new model for the price of an ex-demo. However, the software/user interface is horrible. You can't name samples in plate-layout view." |
