radial immunodiffusion

radial immunodiffusion
(RID) a quantitative immunodiffusion technique in which the antigen solutions are placed in wells cut in an agar plate containing antiserum; the area or diameter of the precipitin ring around an unknown solution is compared with the rings of a serial dilution of a standard antigen solution to determine the amount of antigen present in the unknown. Called also single radial diffusion.
