Abstract
A method for the Reiter protein complement-fixation test using the Technicon AutoAnalyzer is described. Two hundred and fifty sera were tested, when 6 false-positive and 9 false-negative results were obtained when compared with results obtained by the manual method. Deep freezing the sera before testing on the Auto-Analyzer increased the sensitivity so that in a further 250 sera tested nofalse-negative and 2 false-positive results were obtained when compared with the results obtained at the Venereal Diseases Reference Laboratory, London.
