PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To immediately recognize and confirm judged results by reading the state of an agglutination reaction with a camera, converting them into electric signals for image processing, and outputting the results and image data as they are with a printing device. SOLUTION: A specimen and a reagent are reacted in the wells of a micro- plate 1' having multiple wells, then the micro-plate 1' is mounted on a tray 6 and quietly thrust into an agglutinative image judging device 5. When setting is completed, the micro-plate 1' is photographed by a CCD camera 7, the signal is sent to an image process section 8, and the degrees of the agglutination reaction in the wells are arithmetically processed via the contrast data of images. The processed data are compared with the known values stored in a controller 9, and they are judged as negative (-), weak positive (±), positive (+), or unjudicable (?). The judged results and image data are outputted to a video printer 10, and they are printed together with inspection items selected in advance. The printed results are printed near well images.
