[A scanner-based system for documentation, objective assessment, and recording of the results of latex-agglutination...

The present paper describes the use of the scanner "Expert-Lab Agglutination" system to record the results of latex-agglutination tests in making a reaction on the lids of 96-well immunoassay plates. The described system provides a possibility of having a primary image of all tests carried out on a carrier. Software offers the prospect of contrasting the images of individual and control samples, increasing the size of images, and comparing the latter. The use of special image treating techniques may also yield objective figures characterizing the rate of a reaction. The possibility of archiving primary information and retrospectively appraising the correctness of the result of an analysis at any required moment is of fundamental importance to the latex-agglutination test.
