IMMUNODIAGNOSTIC TEST APPARATUS HAVING AT LEAST ONE IMAGER TO PROVIDE AGGLUTINATION EVALUATIONS DURING CENTRIFUGRATION CYCLE

摘要

An immunodiagnostic testing apparatus includes a centrifuge and an imager disposed in relation to the centrifuge wherein at least one image is captured of at least one test element in advance of a complete centrifugation period in order to provide predictive data concerning the presence of an agglutination reaction or failure mode of the apparatus or test element.
