Abstract:
1. A gel particle measurement reagent capable of being used to be agitated continuously with a sample containing a target substance as a measuring object to turn the target substance into gel particles, comprising: a reagent base material that undergoes a gelation reaction with the target substance; and a particle formation accelerating factor that is added to the reagent base material, has biological inactivity and solubility in the sample and dissolves therein at a concentration of 0.002 to 1%, and accelerates production of gel particles whose particle sizes are centered in a predetermined range by accelerating the aggregation of products leading to the gel particles; and the reagent base material and the particle formation accelerating factor are capable of being used under conditions in which a mixing solution is subject to a continuously agitating state to inhibit the gelation of the entire mixing solution.
