Alternative software to read .sds files? - (Sep/29/2007 )
Hello, folks!
We would like to read sds files for the Real-time PCR experiments we made in Applied's Machines in computers that do not have the Sequence Detection System Software. Does anyone knows if there is any alternative software for this job: Something like Chroma  as an alternative to read sequencing eletropherograms...  
 
Thank you very much in advance!
Best wishes,
DEO

ABI PRISM  7700 Dissociation Curve Software Quick Start Guide 
Overview    The ABI PRISM  Dissociation Curve Analysis Software is a Macintosh  application that uses 
the multicomponent data exported from the SDS software v1.7, or higher, to display the 
dissociation curves for each sample.  
    The principle feature of the ABI PRISM Dissociation Curve Analysis Software is to provide   
melting curve analysis on SYBR  Green dye assays run on the ABI PRISM7700.  
    The ABI PRISM Dissociation Curve Analysis Software is available free of charge from the 
Applied Biosystems website: 
www.appliedbiosystems.com/support/software/7700/updates.cfm 
    Pre-requisite: SDS software v1.7 or higher is required for proper data collection. The most 
current SDS software is available free of charge from the Applied Biosystems website: 
www.appliedbiosystems.com/support/software/7700/updates.cfm 
    Dissociation Curve Analysis can be conducted either at the end of a new real-time run or it 
can be performed as a separate run of a previously run plate.
