Abstract
An improved agglutination immunoassay is characterized by reacting a sample fluid which may contain an analyte with a generic antibody conjugated to latex particles and then adding an antibody specific to the analyte to be determined. Agglutination resulting from adding the antibody specific to the analyte is measured and correlated with the amount of analyte in the sample.
