Deciding method for particle agglomeration

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To enable to form a clear agglomeration pattern of even a component which is of a minute amount and has a low agglomeration force, by a method wherein a part of a bottom of a reaction receptacle forming an agglomeration pattern is formed into a slope surface having convex or concave stages, and a deciding devide, provided with a means for moistening the bottom, is mounted. CONSTITUTION:In decision of an agglomeration pattern by an immunological agglomeration reaction, a slope surface, having convex or concave stages 3, is formed in a concentric circle in a bottom of a decision receptacle. A deciding microplate 10 is constituted such that the receptacle 1, having the slope surface, forms a receptacle 11, and 4 pieces of receptacles 13-14 each, consisting of the receptacle 11, are aligned in a matric, for example, in a lateral row. Through employment of the microplate 10, a plural number of the deciding microplates 10 is located on a given conveying unit, and humidity in the receptacle 11 is measured. If it is below a given humidity, a hydrophilic liquid film is uniformly formed on the slpope surface by a given device. If it exceeds a given humidity, a device, which is designed to perform a dry, is mounted so that agglomeration particles are uniformly accumulated on the slope surface. This eliminates the need to shake and agitate the receptacle 11, and enables to perform a clear decision of even a component, which has a low agglomeration force, by use of a minute amount.
