Abstract:
A particle agglutination-evaluating container for immunological analysis, based on an agglutinate formed in an agglutination reaction between an antibody- or antigen-containing sample and agglutination particles, includes a transparent container body having a bottom face including a sloping bottom face and a raised bottom face extended in a horizontal direction at the top of the sloping bottom face to form an obtuse angle with the sloping bottom face, and a fluidal separation layer containing insoluble particles which are filled in the container body and where the agglutination particles are separated according to the agglutination degree, wherein agglutination is evaluated by observation from the bottom of the container body, where the agglutination reaction is judged positive when the agglutination particles are observed through the raised bottom face, negative when observed at the bottom end of the sloping bottom face, and weakly positive when observed in the middle of the sloping bottom face.
