The serum sample of the patient should be diluted and ran again before the results are reported to avoid a false-negative result.

<h3>What is agglutination?</h3>

Agglutination is a process which results when a specific antibody binds to its specific antigen. The antigen-anti-body reaction produces an insoluble complex.

Agglutination reactions are used in agglutination tests which makes use of antibody-antigen reaction to make predictions about certain disease conditions.

Some agglutination tests include blood group tests and arthritis tests.

For the arthritis test, an agglutination that occurs indicates the possibility of arthritis.

The serum sample of the patient should be diluted to avoid a false-negative result due to the prozone phenomenon. This occurs when the concentration of antibody or antigen is too high, thus interfering with the formation of antigen-antibody complex.

In conclusion, agglutination tests are used in testing for diseases.

Place these foods in order of their vitamin C content, from highest to lowest.
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

½ c raw red bell pepper  (190 mg per cup)

1 medium orange  (96 mg per cup)

½ cup cooked broccoli (81 mg per cup, uncooked)

¾ cup tomato juice  (44 mg per cup, 33 mg in 3/4 cup)

Explanation:

Even if the reference measurements is 1 cup the proportion of vitamin C is maintained when half a cup of the measure is used.

As I do not know the size of the orange I am considering that half an orange is equal to half a cup.

Brococoli is cooked and Vitamin C is vulnerable to the cooking process and breaks down easily. So its vitamin C content will vary depending on how it was cooked and how long it lasted.
