Abstract
In the method for the evaluation of agglutination reactions between a reagent and a biological fluid to be examined, the reagent and the biological fluid are intimately mixed by agitation with a tumbling motion. The mixture is then placed in the ray path of an optical measuring system and, while maintaining the tumbling motion and superimposing a translational motion at right angles to the optical axis of the measuring system, an image of the agglutinates formed in the mixture is produced on a focusing screen, and the image is evaluated with an evaluation unit.
