Digital RID Plate Reader

The Digital RID Plate Reader is a compact, cost-effective instrument, designed to simplify the reading of the precipitin RID rings.

This portable instrument decreases user error by efficiently quantifying the concentrations of known proteins with minimal user input.

Binding Site offers an extensive range of Radial Immunodiffusion assays. For details, see below:

 


  • Minimal maintenance and quick calibration combined with simple software make the digital RID plate reader very user-friendly
  • Magnified and clear images of 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 and constant viewing for precise measurement
  • RID plate sits secured 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 and results are calculated automatically
    • Increases lab efficiency and eliminates the chance of transcription errors
  • All data and images can be stored
    • Electronic data storage allows quick and easy access
  • Flexible RIDRead software package
    • Allows user to select preferred option for result calculation (Linear, binomial, or point-to-point)

 

  • LED array light source

  • Dimensions - 8.7"/ 220mm (Width) x 5.5"/140mm (Height) x 6.3"/160mm (Depth)
