| 摘要 |
A method and apparatus for conducting agglutination reactions, preferably latex agglutination reactions. The method of the present invention utilizes a self-starting, continuous, capillary flow to assist in formation of aggregates. No externally applied kinetic energy is required, either to induce, or to continue producing the agglutination reaction of the present invention. The apparatus (10) of the present invention comprises one or more optically clear capillary tubes (18), reagent medium delivery means (12), and a reservoir (14) containing a sorbent (20), which will maintain a flow of reagent medium (16) through the capillary tube(s) over a specific period of time. |
