Synbiosis has announced that its ProtoCOL 2 automatic zone measuring system can increase the speed of quality testing of H1N1 swine flu virus vaccine potency.
The ProtoCOL 2 can generate results from a 16-zone SRD (Single Radial Immunodiffusion) plate of swine flu vaccines in minutes.
This means using a ProtoCOL 2, manufacturers can produce, accurate, reproducible indications of vaccine potency up to ten times faster than manual techniques.
The ergonomically designed ProtoCOL 2 has sliding doors to eliminate ambient light and the system's red, blue and green LED lighting provides uniform illumination of SRD plates, offering good contrast and reflection-free detection.
The unit contains a high-resolution CCD camera that captures precise zone images in seconds and its Zone software can rapidly calculate a precise average diameter to provide an accurate indication of vaccine potency.
Results can be automatically transferred into the statistical analysis module and an image library is also created.
