    摘要: The present invention provides various methods for detecting errors in a blood analysis system. The system includes a blood analyzer and a molded plastic rotor with a series of chambers and capillary channels through which blood is processed and distributed to cuvettes which contain lyophilized reagents. The rotor is placed in the analyzer which spins the rotor, and an optical system reads the cuvettes as light is flashed through the cuvettes. The invention provides checks for: confirming the presence of a reagent in the cuvettes before a sample is applied to the cuvettes; determining whether a fluid sample has been properly distributed to the cuvettes of the rotor; determining whether an adequate amount of fluid sample was applied to the analytical rotor; determining whether a fluid sample has been properly distributed to a cuvette of an analytical rotor; determining whether a reaction chemistry in a cuvette has reached an end point; checking the noise level and non-linearity of a reaction rate in a cuvette; determining whether an adequate amount of diluent was delivered to the cuvettes of an analytical rotor; determining dilution systematic failure when measuring different reaction chemistries in the cuvettes of the rotor; determining whether a blood sample in a cuvette is hemolyzed, lipemic, or icteric; determining the degradation of a reagent in a cuvette; determining proper light source and light detector operation; and determining proper motor function and cuvette mark detection.

    摘要: Diagnostic assays are provided comprising complementary enzyme fragments of .beta.-galactosidase, where one of the fragments is bound to a support and the other fragment is conjugated to an immunologically cross-reactive epitope of the analyte or complementary to an analyte receptor. Binding to the receptor allows for discrimination between complexed enzyme fragment conjugate and uncomplexed enzyme fragment conjugate. The assay medium is then allowed to wick onto a support to which the complementary fragment is substantially uniformly bound in the detection region. The support is then developed, where color formation from the substrate in the detection region is used as a measure of the presence of analyte in the sample.

    摘要: A .beta.-galactosidase complementation assay for determining the presence of an analyte which is a member of a specific binding pair (sbp) in a sample is provided, which assay permits visual discrimination between those samples wherein the analyte is present above a predetermined, threshold concentration. The method comprises combining the sample with a hydrophobic enzyme donor- (ED-) analyte conjugate and the complementary member of the sbp to form an sbp complex-containing assay medium. A small volume of the assay medium is spotted onto an enzyme acceptor (EA) affixed to a bibulous, solid support, followed by development with enzyme substrate solution. A substantially larger area is detectable when analyte in the sample is below as compared to above a threshold concentration. The assay is particularly useful in field testing applications such as determining the presence of antibiotics in milk, toxins in water, or drugs in serum or urine. Kits facilitating the method are also provided.
