Understanding C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Test: Uses and Principle
C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a liver-produced protein that indicates inflammatory conditions. The CRP test helps detect infections, monitor diseases like cancer, and evaluate inflammatory conditions. The test principle involves latex agglutination for CRP detection in human serum.

Understanding Agglutination Test in Laboratory Methods
Agglutination test is a vital laboratory method for detecting antigen-antibody reactions. It involves a two-step process of sensitization and lattice formation, resulting in visible clumping or agglutination. This test is versatile, providing a semi-quantitative measure of antigen or antibody concen
