The VIDAS® principle is based on the interaction of two elements: the coated SPR® receptacle, containing antigens or antibodies, and the Strip, made up of a series of wells containing the correct amount of reagent necessary for the test. All reactions occur within the SPR in two key phases: immunological reaction.
What is an immunoassay analyzer?
Immunoassay analyzers are used to identify and detect the concentration of specific substances in a sample, usually using an antibody as a reagent.
What is the use of mini Vidas?
Compact multiparametric immunoanalyzer MINI VIDAS® is greatly appreciated worldwide for its simplicity, flexibility, reliability and 24/7 availability. It processes single sample and batch tests for all types of analysis: serology, immunochemistry, antigen detection. Ten different analytes can be used simultaneously.
What is Vidas machine?
VIDAS® is an automated, multiparametric immunoassay system. This uniquely designed testing device stores the calibration in the analyzer’s memory, thus optimizing the cost-per-sample result. Two independent sections each accept six tests and can process up to 12 samples simultaneously.
What is immunoassay analyzer used for?
Immunoassay analyzers test patient samples for a variety of substances, including antiarrhythmic, antibiotic, anticonvulsant, or cardiac glycoside drug concentration determination; infectious diseases; allergy testing; cardiac markers; endocrine hormone testing; and protein, viral, or bacterial toxin determinations.
How does an immunoassay analyzer work?
Immunoassay tests work by using antibodies to detect small biological substances in the blood and other bodily fluids. The method follows the aspect that particular antigens binds to specific newly introduced antibodies, thereby stimulating an immune response.
What is Vidas mini Vidas?
VIDAS® is an automated, multiparametric immunoassay system. MINI VIDAS® is a compact version of the VIDAS® system with a built-in computer, keyboard and printer. Two independent sections each accept six tests and can process up to 12 samples simultaneously. This automated immunoassay system is reliable and economical.
What is Elfa technology?
ELFA provides a simple, reliable, ultrasensitive method for the rapid detection of viral antigen.

What is the importance of D dimers in coagulation factor testing?
They are essential for the possibility to specify the pathology localization within the accuracy of coagulation factor. A D-dimer (product of thrombi degradation) test can be specified separately. The rise of D-dimers concentration in the patient’s blood states the possibility of the completed thrombosis.
What is a coagulation test used for?
Coagulation testing. Blood clotting tests are the tests used for diagnostics of the hemostasis system. Coagulometer is the medical laboratory analyzer used for testing of the hemostasis system. Modern coagulometers realize different methods of activation and observation of development of blood clots in blood or in blood plasma.
