Procedure: 1  Divide the slide into two sections with grease pencil. 2  2Place a small drop of distilled water on each area. 3  Emulsify one or two colonies of Staphylococcus on blood agar plate on each drop to make a smooth suspension. 4  The test suspension is treated with a drop of citrated plasma and mixed well with a needle. Do not put anything in the other drop that serves as control. The control suspension serves to rule out false positivity due to auto agglutination. Clumping of cocci within 5-10 seconds is taken as positive.
