OMNICON® Large Plate Zone Reader
 

System Description
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.

Antibiotic Potency Testing

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.

Plate Reading
The automatic stage can accommodate either a 254 mm or 355 mm square plate. The OMNICON Large Plate Zones Reader can measure all zones on a 254 mm square plate, calculate results, display and print results in 2-3 minutes. In addition, a user defined shape criteria can be used to exclude zones which are oval in shape due to spills or irregular growth.
