A method for a specific binding assay with magnetic particles

摘要

The invention concerns a determination method and equipment and an adapter for use in these. In the method, the sample is allowed to react with a separating reagent bound in a solid phase to the outer surface of particles (8) which are separated from the vessel, whereafter the particles are removed from the vessel using a remover (3.2) and they are taken to a measuring vessel, if required through one or several intermediate step vessels. At least one vessel contains a medium needed in a determination step to be performed therein when the particles are brought into this vessel. The invention is especially suitable for use in automatic immunodetermination systems.
