Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for determining or detecting by immuno adherence a biological substance present in a sample, which consists in introducing the sample into a receptacle on whose walls there is a component which has a specific immunological affinity for the substance to be tested for, in adding magnetic particles on which there is a substance which has a specific immunological affinity for the substance to be tested for, in subjecting them to several successive magnetic actions in order to accelerate the deposition of the said particles onto the walls and to displace those which have not formed specific bonds with the substance to be tested for which adheres to the walls via the component with affinity which is fixed thereto, and in observing the particles deposited.
