181 Apparatus for immunological analysis US782526 1997-01-10 US5746975A 1998-05-05 Sophie Chateau
The apparatus of the invention is in the form of a kit comprising two distinct elements designed to be assembled together and to co-operate during immunological analysis. The first element is an incubation element that includes at least one receptacle suitable for receiving a mixture comprising a substance to be analyzed and a test substance. The second element is a reaction element and includes at least one well which is closed by a sealing membrane and which has a bottom on which a reactionally sensitive layer is fixed. The apparatus includes means for assembling said elements together and perforation and injection means, e.g. a tapering tube, projecting from the bottom of the receptacle of the incubation element and extending outwards, said means being suitable firstly for perforating the membrane and then for injecting the contents of the receptacle into the well through said perforated membrane, once the two elements have been assembled together. The method consists in assembling the two elements together so that the tapering tube perforates the membrane and penetrates into the well, in incubating them, and then in centrifuging them at a speed sufficient to cause the mixture to pass from the receptacle into the well via the tapering tube.

189 Direct detection of unexpected alloantibodies in the serum of prospective transfusion recipients using a new hemagglutination inhibition assay US363754 1994-12-23 US5583004A 1996-12-10 Mathew R. Pincus
Human red blood cells with antigenic determinants recognized by unexpected alloantibodies are mixed with serum from the potential recipient. Following incubation, multivalent monoclonal IgM antibodies specific to the antigenic determinant present on the test red blood cells are added. If the recipient's serum is negative for an unexpected antibody which would bind to the antigens present on the test red blood cells, then the multivalent antibody will agglutinate the red cells. Conversely, if an unexpected antibody specific to those determinants is present in the recipient's serum, hemagglutination will be inhibited.
