ABSTRACT:
A coherent light beam is made incident upon a cell via a polarizer. In the cell is contained a reaction liquid consisting of fine magnetic particles having an antibody coated thereon and a sample containing an antigen which is specifically reacted with the antibody on the particles. The particles are rotated in the reaction liquid by means of alternating magnetic fields having a frequency f.sub.0 and generated by coils arranged beside the cell. Light scattered by the particles is made incident upon a photodetector via a polarizer whose polarization plane is perpendicular to that of the analyzer. An output signal from the photodetector is synchronously detected by means of a reference signal having a frequency 2f.sub.0. Then a synchronously detected output signal represents an amount of the antigen contained in the sample.
