透過度や光散乱の程度の測定により行なっていた。[Prior art] Conventionally, as an immunoassay method, carrier particles such as latex particles are sensitized with a predetermined antibody and a test sample is mixed, and the antigen to be identified by the sensitized antibody is detected in the test sample. When the carrier particles are contained, an antigen-antibody reaction occurs and the carrier particles bind to each other, and a method has been used to measure the presence or absence of the antigen or the amount of the antigen based on the state of aggregation of the carrier particles. At that time, the method of determining the agglomeration state of the carrier particles was carried out by measuring the light transmittance and the degree of light scattering of the suspended fA liquid containing the carrier particles.

なわれる。When the latex particles are irradiated with a beam of light, scattered light is emitted. Further, when a sample liquid sample is fluorescently stained for fluorescence measurement, fluorescence is also generated at the same time. 119 above. Of the scattered light, forward scattered light emitted in the direction of the optical path )1τj is photometered by a condenser lens 5 and a photodetector 6. Note that the irradiated light beam is directly incident on the photodetector 6 [
55, a stopper (not shown) is provided in front of the condensing lens 5 in the optical path to directly remove the light. The output of the photodetector 6 is input to an arithmetic circuit 16 . Also, among the 11 scattered lights,
The side scattered light emitted in the lateral direction perpendicular to the optical path is condensed by a condenser lens 7, reflected by a tychroic mirror 8, and photometered by a photodetector 11. In general, the direction in which side scattered light is photometered is often orthogonal as in this embodiment, but is not limited to orthogonal and may be, for example, a 45 degree direction or an [iO degree direction. In addition, in order to measure the weak fluorescence that is generated together with scattered light when the sample liquid sample is fluorescently dyed, the fluorescence that is focused by the condenser lens 7 and passed through the tichroic mirror 8 is detected by the tichroic mirror 9 and the photodetector. Green fluorescence is detected by a set of 12, and red fluorescence is detected by a set of a total reflection mirror 1o and a photodetector 13. In front of each photodetector, bandpass filters 2+ and 22.23 are installed to allow only 1M of light in each wavelength range to pass through. Signals from the photodetectors 11, 12, and 13 are input to an arithmetic circuit 16, and the arithmetic circuit performs calculations for particle analysis.

In the figure, the horizontal axis represents the intensity of forward scattered light (FS) measured by the photodetector 6, and the vertical axis represents the number of particles (N). Since the forward scattered light intensity depends on the particle size, the apparent size of latex particles changes due to aggregation, and the graph shows I, , I2, 13
are displayed separately as in . These are considered to have aggregation numbers of 1, 2, and 3 latex particles, respectively.

The vertical axis is the number of particles (N). Since the side-scattered light intensity changes depending on the light transmittance of the particles, the light transmittance of the aggregate changes due to aggregation, and the graph shows J, , I2.
It is displayed separately like I3.

In the figure, the horizontal axis is the side scattered light intensity, and the vertical axis is the forward scattered light intensity. ■■ in FIG. 2(a) and Jl in FIG. 2(b) are the same particles, and similarly ■2J2 and I3. Group I3 is also made of the same particle agglomerate. Therefore, on the cytogram, side scattered light (Jl), forward scattered light (11 groups), side scattered light (I2), forward scattered light (12 groups), and side scattered light (I3), forward scattered light. Three groups appear, such as the group I3.

い。Here, it is a commonly used method to perform the window processing shown in W to check the number of particles (count number) within this window. However, in the case of Figure 8, the particle size is the same but the light transmittance is different, that is, the forward scattered light intensity is almost the same, and only the side scattered light intensity is different because the latex particles are selected. The groups are close together, and in some cases they are displayed overlapping each other. This makes window processing difficult.

る。Therefore, latex particles with different light transmittances and particle sizes are selected so that each group appears broadly on the cytogram. Figure 5 shows that the forward scattered light intensity (FS) is small and the side scattered light intensity (SS) is caused by latex particles that produce a large output. In the figure, FS is thick and SS is small latex particles. By selecting three types of latex particles in such a combination, the resulting cytodarams are widely separated into groups as shown in FIG. 9, and a zutogram that is easy to perform window processing can be obtained.

In the inspection method, the combination of particle diameters and optical properties of the first carrier particles and the second carrier particles is such that the aggregation state and particle type can be clearly distinguished when detecting the aggregation state and particle type. A specimen testing method characterized by:
