OMNICON Large Plate Zone Reader - bio-assay dish

Large Plate Bio-Assay - Latin Square Bio-Assay - Antibiotic Potency Testing
The OMNICON Large Plate Zone Reader automates the measurement of zones of inhibition performed during the testing of antibiotics to determine potency during the manufacturing process. The system provides you with fast reproducible, quantitative results while automating one of the most time-consuming, tedious tasks in your lab. Regardless of the agar diffusion method being used, cut wells or paper disc, the OMNICON Large Plate Zone Reader analyzes them all effortlessly.

Software
The OMNICON Large Plate Zone Reader integrates image analysis, automatic stage, comparison and reporting to provide accurate results in record time. The software performs antibiotic bioassays in accordance to the procedures defined in the British and European Pharmacopoeia. The OMNICON Large Plate Zones of Inhibition software is 21 CFR Part 11 Electronic Records and Signature compliant, and provides three levels of security, encrypted data files and comprehensive audit trails.

Plate Reading - Motorized Scanning Stage
The automatic motorized scanning stage can accommodate either a 240 mm (Nunc Bio-Assay Dish) or 350 mm square dish. The OMNICON Large Plate Zones Reader can measure all zones on a 240 mm bio-assay dish, calculate results, display and print results in less than 2 minutes.
