Title:
REAGENT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ANALYSIS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1993/011432
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to analysis and more particularly to a reagent system, a reagent material, an apparatus, a method and a test-kit which find application in analysis. The invention provides, inter alia, a reagent system, suitable for use in a method of analysis for detecting an analyte species in which method a specific binding reaction is utilised, which reagent system includes an auxiliary entity, said auxiliary entity being in a substantially inactive form and said reagent system being such that it may be activated so as to permit the auxiliary entity to undergo a binding reaction. The invention also provides, inter alia, a reagent material, suitable for use in a method of analysis for detecting an analyte species in which method a specific binding reaction is utilised, which reagent material includes an auxiliary entity, said auxiliary entity being in a substantially inactive form and said reagent material being such that it may be activated so as to permit the auxiliary entity to undergo a binding reaction.
