Abstract
A method for detecting and measuring the image of an agglutination particle pattern produced in a test liquid in which the existence of hemolysis in a test liquid is judged at the same time as an analysis is conducted of particle patterns produced in the test liquid in response to an immunological agglutination reaction. By this method, it is possible to increase the precision of the analysis of the particle pattern by feeding back the result of the judgement of the existence of hemolysis in the test liquid. A reaction apparatus suitable for use in the method according to the invention is also disclosed. In this apparatus, a plurality of wells for containing the test liquid are formed, and a plurality of marks are formed in positions where the marks can be read through the test liquid by an optical system for detecting the particle patterns produced in the test liquid. Therefore, hemolysis existing in the test liquid can be objectively judged.
