Abstract
The present invention relates to methods for detection or measurement of an analyte in a sample by a binding assay comprising at least one hapten/anti-hapten or hapten-like binding pair. More specifically, the invention is directed to processes and test kits comprising the hapten or hapten-like molecule of such binding pair in free form.
Claims10
Method for detection or measurement of an analyte in a sample by a specific binding assay comprising at least one hapten/anti-hapten or hapten-like binding pair, characterized in that, in at least one incubation step said hapten or said hapten-like molecule in free form is present.
Method to improve the sensitivity of a specific binding assay used in the detection or measurement of an analyte in a sample comprising at least one hapten/anti-hapten or hapten-like binding pair, characterized in that, in at least one incubation step said hapten or said hapten-like molecule in free form is present.
Method to improve the precision of a specific binding assay used in the detection or measurement of an analyte in a sample comprising at least one hapten/anti-hapten or hapten-like binding pair, characterized in that, in at least one incubation step said hapten or said hapten-like molecule in free form is present.
Assay kit to perform an assay for detection or measurement of an analyte in a sample making use of a hapten/anti-hapten or hapten-like binding pair comprising at least one reagent containing said hapten or hapten-like molecule in free form.
