Reagents
VIDAS Systems
VIDAS systems use the ELFA assay principle. This proprietary technology ensures excellent sensitivity and specificity by combining the ELISA test method with a final blue fluorescent reading.
SPR Device
The SPR (Solid Phase Receptacle) is coated with antigens or antibodies and acts as a pipetting device.
At each stage of the reaction, the SPR aspirates the reagents in and out. This original concept prevents any inter-reagent or inter-sample contamination and the absence of tubing, syringes, or needles minimizes system maintenance.
Reagent Strip
The strip contains all of the reagents required for the reaction. It consists of 10 wells covered with a labeled, foil seal. The foil of the first well is perforated to facilitate the introduction of the sample. The last well of each strip is a cuvette where the fluorometric reading is performed. The wells in the center section of the strip contain the various reagents required for the assay.
