Non-specific reaction inhibitor, method for inhibiting non-specific reaction, and kit

Abstract

Provided is a non-specific reaction inhibitor for achieving the accurate detection and quantitation of a trace component (a target substance) contained in a sample, in an immunoassay, by simply and effectively inhibiting a non-specific reaction associated with the measurement. The non-specific reaction inhibitor comprises a substance of the formula I: wherein R1 and R2 together form a double bond between carbons, to which they are respectively bonded directly, or R1 is a hydrogen atom and R2 is a group formed by removing H from an SH-group-containing compound, B is a support, and L is a spacer arm portion.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
