Process and test carrier for the determination of an analyte

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A process and test device for the determination of an analyte in a body fluid, in which there are used two binding components capable of specifically binding with one another, one of the binding components being enzyme-labelled and not carrier-fixed and the other binding component being carrier-fixed; the binding components are incubated with one another so that a binding reaction takes place; the amount of enzymelabelled binding component not bound to the carrier-fixed binding component being a measure for the concentration of the analyte which is determined by allowing the labelling enzyme to act upon a substrate producing a detection signal; during the specific binding reaction …
