Dear qBase user

qBasePlus is the professional successor of the qBase software that accompanied the real-time PCR quantification framework described in Hellemans et al. (Genome Biology, 2007). More than 4000 users worldwide have downloaded the qBase software, and provided valuable feedback. qBase has been phased out and qBasePlus is now available from the real-time PCR data-analysis company Biogazelle (http://www.biogazelle.com).

The powerful features of qBasePlus 1.0 are listed on

There are 3 kind of licenses available for qBasePlus: a payable full license with support and upgrade protection, a limited free license, and a fully functional demo license (valid for 2 weeksof evaluation). Current qBase users enjoy a promotional offer of 20% discount on the qBasePlus price (offer valid till March 24, 2008, enter promotion code: QBP1ACTG).

As of today, download of the old qBase software is terminated, and the qBase discussion forum will be closed for further message posting (while the posted messages will remain accessible).
