This item has been tested for basic power on functions. The system will need to be validated/calibrated to ensure accurate results. Unit has some cosmetic defects from normal use. Middle panel is missing metal plate (not affecting functionality, see photos for details).
VIDAS offers routine batch or random access testing for serology, immunochemistry, antigen detection and immunohemostasis. Five independent analytical sections allow you to perform 30 tests simultaneously. The VIDASPC software (not included) enables easy test launch, data management, result storage and bidirectional interface with the laboratory information system. Simple and flexible, VIDAS facilitates lab workflow with a simple answer to complex needs.
VIDAS is a compact automated multiparametric immuno analyzer including:
the VIDAS analytical module divided into five independent sections each containing six assays with compatible protocols,
the VIDAS PC software allowing up to two VIDAS modules to be operated,
the reagents presented in kits of 60, 30 or 10 unit tests including: the SPRs and reagent strips
the additional consumables required: standard, control(s), solvent
the factory calibration data provided in the form of a bar code (MLE card), the package insert.
The basic VIDAS workflow steps consist of:
creating predefined sections, performing calibrations and controls, running assays.
offers routine batch or random access (mixed) testing for:
serology,
immunochemistry
antigen detection
industrial microbiology
immunohemostasis
The combination of two original concepts, sectioned architecture and single-dose reagents (SPR/Reagent Strip), offers:
reliable results,
ease-of-use,
rapid analysis results.
VIDAS stands for: Vitek Immuno Diagnostic Assay System.
The technology used, which is adaptable to a wide range of assays, combines the EIA method with a final fluorescence reading: this technology is known as ELFA (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay).
