Automatic zone analysing system for assay plates

Don Whitley Scientific has announced the availability of AutoZONE, an automatic zone analysing system that consists of a computercontrolled high-resolution CCD camera on an automated gantry system.

It can read a 64-zone bioassay plate in just 70 seconds, which is around 25 times faster than is possible by manual analysis.

Users can create and recall automatic scanning patterns for different plate configurations; thus, AutoZONE is ideal for applications including multi-zone bioassay plate analysis and single radial immunodiffusion assay plates. The images are recorded by GLPcompliant software, which eliminates keying or scanning errors when data are transferred.

The information is saved to hard disk for secure archiving or to generate professional reports for audit by regulatory agencies.
