Digital RID Plate Reader
   
The Digital RID Plate Reader is a cost effective & compact instrument, designed to simplify & speed-up the process of reading precipitin radial immunodiffusion rings.

This portable instrument is aimed at all sizes of laboratories using RID plates, decreasing user error by efficiently quantifying the concentrations of known proteins with minimal user input.		 read precipitin radial immunodiffusion rings

Minimal maintenance and quick calibration combined with simple software make the digital RID plate reader very user friendly

Enlarged & clearly defined rings are displayed on the computer screen with video camera technology

- Easy quantification of ring size increases accuracy of results

Bright internal light source

- Enables consistent & constant viewing for precise measurement

RID plate is kept still in the reader

- Steady viewing of the rings decreases chances of user error compared to more traditional reading methods

Calibration curves are drawn by the software & results are calculated automatically

- Increases lab efficiency & negates the chance of transcription errors

All data & images can be stored

- No need for bulky paper files & all data can be quickly / easily accessed

Radial immunodiffusion methods vary and results can be calculated in several different ways. The flexibility of the RIDRead package allows the user to select their preferred option for result calculation from a calibration curve:

  • A linear curve is used if accuracy is of primary importance
  • Choose a binomial curve if results are required quickly (uses a Fahey method)
  • A point-to-point curve is used for functional complement assays
