DEVICE AND ANALYZING SYSTEM FOR CONDUCTING AGGLUTINATION ASSAYS

摘要

A device (1) for conducting an agglutination assay comprising several reaction vessels (3), each reaction vessel (3) comprising an upper chamber (9) having an opening (15) for accepting reactants and/or a sample and a lower chamber (10), disposed to receive fluids from the upper chamber (9) and containing a matrix for separating agglutinates; characterized in that the device (1) also comprises a rotating support (2), able to rotate around an axis (A) and holding pivotally the reaction vessels (3) in a way to allow the reaction vessels (3) to pivot about an axis essentially perpendicular to the rotation axis (A) of the support (2) when the latter is rotated.
