Abstract

There is described a unique instrument system employing a laser, having a polarized and collimated beam of radiation, which is split into a multitude of primary and secondary beams containing the same desirable properties of high collimation and monochromaticity. The secondary beams are used to measure simultaneously multiple antigen-antibody (Ag-Ab) agglutinations reactions involving latex particles.
