    摘要: Controls and standards for assays and method for manufacturing the controls and standards is described. The controls or standards comprise a porous carrier material which has quantitatively reversibly absorbed and dried thereon an analyte for the control or standard wherein the analyte is not degraded over time while it is absorbed to the porous carrier material. Preferably, the controls and standards are provided as a control strip (10) in which the porous carrier material (20) is adhered to the distal end (16) of a support member (12). To quantitatively elute the analyte from the carrier to a solvent for an assay, the carrier is contacted to the same solvent used for the samples in the assay. After the analyte has been eluted, the carrier is discarded and the assay is performed. The controls and standards are useful for assays which detect bacteria, fungi, viruses, and proteins.

    摘要: Cyanide-free reagents for the determination of hemoglobin and leukocytes present in a blood sample comprise an aqueous solutions of at least one quaternary ammonium salt, preferably selected from the group of alkyltrimethylammonium salts, alkyldimethylbenzylammonium salts or alkylpyridium salts consisting of tetradecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (TTAB), dodecyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide and benzalkonium chlorides, and hydroxylamine salts, especially hydrochloride, sulfate and phosphates and other acid salts. The method involves mixing the reagent with a diluent-diluted blood sample, presenting it to an absorbance spectrophotometer and measuring the resulting optical density as an indicator of hemoglobin concentration. This cyanide-free reagent could be used solely for hemoglobin determinations, or, it can also be used in leukocyte counting and sizing using hematology instrumentation.

    摘要: A self-calibrated, magnetic binding assay (e.g., sandwich, competitive, etc.) for detecting the presence or quantity of an analyte residing in a test sample is provided. The magnetic binding assay includes detection probes capable of generating a detection signal (e.g., fluorescent non-magnetic particles) and calibration probes capable of generating calibration signal (e.g., fluorescent magnetic particles). The amount of the analyte within the test sample is proportional to the intensity of the detection signal calibrated by the intensity of the calibration signal.

    摘要: The present invention provides an improved system for detecting the presence or level of an analyte in a sample. In “competition-like” assays of the present invention, a sample including an analyte is mixed with a second ligand to which the analyte binds, and the mixture is exposed to a solid phase containing a first ligand that can compete with the analyte for binding to the second ligand. According to the present invention, the time of exposure of the mixture to the solid phase is limited so that substantially no dissociation of analyte/second ligand complex occurs. The competition-like assays of the present invention are preferably performed with a solid phase containing a substantial excess of first ligand. In “sandwich-type” assays of the present invention, a sample including an analyte is contacted with a solid phase including a first ligand that binds the analyte and, simultaneously or subsequently, is contacted with a second ligand that binds the analyte (or the analyte/first ligand complex). The time of contact between the second ligand and the solid phase is limited so that substantially no non-specific binding between the second ligand and the solid phase occurs.

    摘要: Disclosed is a device and method of use for detecting polyvalent analytes such as antibody to the AIDS virus, utilizing an inverse sandwich method. The test device comprises a first substance having an epitope, bound to a label and capable of moving within the test device. The test device further comprises a second substance immobilized to the test device and spatially separated from the first substance. The second substance has an epitope substantially similar to the epitope of the first substance. Upon application to the test device, the polyvalent analyte binds to the first substance and moves within the test device to the location of the second substance with both polyvalent analyte and first substance are immobilized at location of the second substance. Polyvalent analyte is detected by the presence of the label at the location of the second substance. Also disclosed is a control substance for use with the device that can be used to determine completion of the test and viability of the device.
