Agglutination reagent detection system

摘要

A reagent detection system for detecting an agglutination reaction in a reagent is provided. A light source directs monochromatic light toward an isoplanar sample field. A detector is provided for detecting a change in the amount of light scattered from the isoplanar sample field caused by the agglutination reaction of the reagents. The agglutination reaction is controlled by the intervention of a kinetic activator and results in consistently reproducible sensitive detection of the agglutination reaction.
