Abstract
The present invention relates to a specific cuvette, an assay method and a diagnostic test kit where samples of whole blood can be used for quantitative diagnostic testing without need for centrifugation, even though the blood components to be analyzed are in the plasma fraction. Using the method of the present invention the blood sample is converted into a plasma fraction and a cell fraction by shaking in a cuvette in the presence of a special agglutinating reagent A plasma fraction is obtained which is suitable to be used in diagnostic tests using immunometric or colormetric methods or test strips without physically removing the blood cells from the sample.
