1. A reaction kit for observation and detection of a particle pattern due to an agglutination reaction, comprising:

  • reaction zone defining means for receiving a sample, said reaction zone defining means comprising;

    two plates arranged opposed to each other, at least one of said plates being transparent for visual detection therethrough of a particle pattern formed in said reaction zone; and

    spacers inserted between said two plates so as to maintain said two plates in spaced apart relation to each other, said reaction zone being defined in a space between said two plates and between said spacers; and

    a supporting base for supporting said reaction zone defining means, and including means for inclining said reaction zone defining means at a specified angle to thereby incline said reaction zone, such that one of said spacers forms a bottom portion of the inclined reaction zone;

    a part of the space defined between said two plates and between said spacers serving as an opening through which a sample is introduced into said reaction zone, and wherein said opening is located in a position different from said spacer forming the bottom portion of the inclined reaction zone;

    wherein a sample is aspirated into said reaction zone when the sample is applied to said reaction zone defining means.
