Magnetic particle specific binding assay - comprises reating sample with sepg. reagent bound to outer surface of particles subsequently transferred from reaction vessel by magnetic remover

摘要

An analyte in a sample is detected using a device including a vessel contg. a medium in which the sample reacts with the analyte's sepg. reagent bound in a solid phase to form an analyte-sepg. reagent complex. The sample is allowed to react with the sepg. reagent bound in a solid phase on the outer surface of solid particles (9). After the reaction, the particles are removed from the vessel using a remover (3) to which they adhere. They are transferred to a measuring vessel optionally via one or more intermediate step vessels where intermediate steps are carried out. Any formed complex is detected in the mesuring vessel. The vessels contain appropriate media necessary for the various reactions to occur in them.
