Agglutination tests are serologic tests. Agglutination tests are "dependent on the clumping of cells, microorganisms, or particles when mixed with specific antiserum."[1]

Agglutination tests include hemagglutination tests and latex agglutination tests.

An example is the SimpliRED assay for d-dimer which is a whole blood autologous red cell hemagglutination assay used for the diagnosis of embolism and thrombosis.
