Agglutinographic slide
First Claim
1. In an agglutinographic slide for reacting immuno-chemical liquid agglutination particle reagents comprising an immuno-chemical liquid agglutination particle reagent, first panel means of a predetermined length and second panel means of a predetermined length spaced apart from said first panel means a predetermined distance of 0.1 to 500 μ
- and substantially disposed coextensively with said first panel means to define a capillary channel means therebetween and for causing an agglutination reaction to intrinsically occur within the said channel means, the improvement comprising at least one of said panel means defining an entrance opening, said aggultination particle reagent being disposed in proximity to said entrance opening and said first panel means and second panel means defining a viewing chamber, said channel means extending from said entrance opening to said viewing chamber, said channel means having a length that is greater than the predetermined length of one of said first panel means and said second panel means.

Abstract
An agglutinographic slide for immunochemical liquid agglutionation particle reagents has a first panel and a second panel. The second panel is spaced a predetermined distance from the first panel. The slide has an entrance end and a viewing end. A channel is positioned between the first and second panels so that liquid agglutination particle reagents are transported from the entrance end to the viewing end. The channel has a length greater than the length of the slide to allow control of flow and enhance the viewability of the reaction.

10. In an agglutinographic test slide for immuno-chemical liquid agglutination particle reagents comprising in combination an immuno-chemical liquid agglutination particle reagent, a first panel having a predetermined length, a second panel having a predetermined length, said second panel being spaced a predetermined distance of 0.1 to 500 μ
- from said first panel to define a capillary channel means therebetween of a predetermined length, the improvement comprising an entrance opening for introducing liquid reagents to said channel means, said agglutination particle reagent being disposed in proximity to said entrance opening, said channel means having a length that exceeds the length of said first panel for transmitting said liquid agglutination particle reagent from said entrance opening through said channel means, said channel means including first and second channel sections configured to allow said liquid to flow from said first channel section to said second channel section, said first channel section having a width, said second channel section having a width greater than the width of said first channel section for reducing the rate of capillary flow of the reagents to enhance the size of the agglutinations thereby enhancing the viewability thereof.
