METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING COAGULASION REACTION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an agglutination reaction measuring apparatus capable of measuring the coagulation reaction of blood with a small quantity of sample. SOLUTION: The coagulation reaction measuring apparatus has a holding means 1 for horizontally holding a test tube T storing a liquid sample S, a light projecting means 2 for projecting light to the test tube T; a light receiving means 3 for receiving light transmitted through the test tube T to perform photoelectric conversion; and an arithmetic means 4 for measuring the coagulation of the liquid sample S from the quantity of light received by the light receiving means 3. A slit 5 having a through hole 51 of the same width dimension as the inner diameter LT of the test tube T is disposed between the light projecting means 2 and the test tube T, in a position which corresponds to the test tube T, and light is projected to the test tube T through the slit 5.
