Textbook Question
Chapter 36.4, Problem 2MI
Figure 36.10 Agglutination Tests. (a) Tube agglutination test for determining antibody titer. The titer in this example is 160 because there is no agglutination in the next tube in the dilution series (1/320). The blue in the dilution tubes indicates the presence of the patient’s serum. (b) A microtiter plate illustrating hemagglutination. The antibody is placed in the wells (rows 1–10). Positive controls (row 11) and negative controls (row 12) are included. Red blood cells are added to each well. If sufficient antibody is present to agglutinate the cells, they sink as a mat to the bottom of the well. If insufficient antibody is present, they form a pellet at the bottom.
What is the titer for the antibody tested in row E?

A technologist failed to notice that the centrifuge had not properly centrifuged the test tubes prepared for antibody identification. The time of centrifugation was 15 seconds instead of 30 seconds. What would be the potential error in the interpretation of this test? can please any one provide me ans?
Please answer this within 30 mins ! I will upvote .
If the highest dilution with a color change in an ELISA test is 1:64, the antibody titer is 640.
