Abstract

Radial immunodiffusion (RID) is a quantitative test, and is often used in serology laboratories to quantify the concentration of a certain antigen or antibody class in a patient’s serum. The technique is very simple and cost-effective; however, it may require a long incubation time; hence, some laboratories prefer to use alternative methods such as an ELISA. This chapter describes the principle, reagents, steps, and results interpretation for RID.
