A method for the detection and/or visualization of particle agglutination, comprising: placing a volume of a suspension of the particles on a filter, the filter being constructed so as to permit passage of individual particles; placing a volume of a solution or suspension containing an agglutinating agent at the location of the particle suspension; optionally placing a wash solution at the location of the agglutinating agent; and observing the surface at the location for the presence of particles, such presence indicating that agglutination of the particles occurred. There is also provided a method for detection of agglutination reactions in general and hemagglutination reactions, such as used in blood grouping and cross-matching, in particular. The method is comprised of successive vertical additions of whole blood, blood grouping reagent and wash to a filter. In case of hemagglutination a colored, preferably red or reddish dot becomes visible after washing. A device and a kit based on the invention is also claimed and facilitates blood grouping and matching in non-laboratory environment without the need for laboratory instruments.
