Claims20
A method for testing a biological sample from a subject for immunization/sensitization status comprising:
- (a) providing an analytical module configured to
- make one or more dilutions of a fluid that is or is derived from the biological sample, and contact said dilutions with a plurality of separate replicates of different vaccine- or sensitization-indicative antigens so as to generate signals indicative of the amount of antigen-reactive immune molecules in the fluid dilutions corresponding to the different vaccine- or sensitization-indicative antigens;
- (b) providing the fluid to the analytical module and having it conduct said dilutions;
- (c) having the analytical module contact the dilutions with two or more said separate replicates;
- and;
- (d) generating the signals indicative of the amount of antigen-reactive immune molecules in the fluid dilutions corresponding to the different vaccine- or sensitization-indicative antigens.
