CONTAINERS AND KITS FOR THE DETERMINATION OF CELL FUNCTIONS, AND METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION THEREOF

摘要

Containers for the determination of cell functions which are easy of operation and less dangerous and enable the determination with high accuracy. Specifically, a container for the determination of cell functions to be used in analyzing physiologically active substances produced by hemocytes, which is constituted in such a way that the amount of materials inducing the production of the physiologically active substances is lowered to such a level as not to cause hemocytes to produce the substances, as determined by extracting the container with water in an amount equal to that of a blood sample to be analyzed; and another container therefor, wherein materials which induce the production of the substances when brought into contact with blood are placed in a state capable of coming into contact with blood, and the amount of the materials in the container is lowered so as not to affect the analysis of the substances.
