Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9511082A1] A plate (10) for use in agglutination assays having a plurality of concave-shaped wells (18) interpersed among a planar surface (12). Surrounding the planar surface (12) is a trough (14) which serves to collect samples which may have spilled out of the wells (18). The concave-shaped wells (18) are provided with opaque and low glare or matte finishes which improve the skilled and unskilled reader's ability to distinguish degrees of agglutination assay response. The diameter and depth ratio of the wells (18) characterizes the dimensions of the wells (18) which best provide distinction of agglutination responses.
