NOVEL PLATE AGGLUTINATION TESTER AND METHOD OF NUMBERIZE THE INTENSITY OF AGGLUTINATION REACTION USING THE SAME

摘要

A plate agglutination tester and a method for measuring an immuno-reaction using the same are provided to decrease error of the result analysis in accordance with proficiency of a person performing diagnosis, show the degree of various immuno-reactions in an objective value and perform various statistical analyses, thereby being very useful for measuring the immuno-reaction. A plate agglutination tester consists of a transparent film and is characterized in that a section, which consists of a plurality of circles and where an antigen-antibody agglutination reaction occurs, is arranged and formed in horizontal and vertical directions on an upper side of the film. A method for measuring an immuno-reaction comprises the steps of: (a) mixing an antigen and an antibody specifically bound to the antigen with the plate agglutination tester to induce an agglutination reaction; (b) scanning the agglutination reaction induced plate agglutination tester and converting a scanning result into an image file; and (c) analyzing the obtained image file using a computer program capable of detecting fine agglutination reactants to numberize the intensity of the agglutination reaction. Further, the transparent film is an over head project film.
