摘要:
An enzyme-labeled immunoassay is performed by the steps of allowing a test sample to react with an enzyme-labeled reagent, allowing a substrate to react with the enzyme to form a signal, and immobilising the enzyme-labeled reagent, with the prevention of a further signal formation from a predetermined time on after the immobilisation of the enzyme-labeled reagent, using an enzyme inhibitor. A device for performing this enzyme-labeled immunoassay includes an absorbent material capable of transporting a developing solution by capillary action, the absorbent material including (a) a developing liquid application zone, (b) an enzyme-labeled reagent zone containing an enzyme-labeled reagent, (c) a sample receiving zone, and (d) an indicator reagent zone capable of immobilising the enzyme-labeled reagent after the reaction of the test sample with the enzyme-labeled reagent in an amount dependent on the assay result, with an enzyme inhibitor being applied to a portion in the absorbent material upstream of the enzyme-labeled reagent zone, which enzyme inhibitor prevents the formation of a signal from a predetermined time on after the enzyme-labeled reagent is immobilised at the indicator reagent zone.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an inhibitor capable of increasing accuracy of the reaction in hybridization, and inhibiting nonspecific hybridization, a clinical diagnostic reagent, and a method of clinical analysis whereby nonspecific hybridization in clinical analysis is inhibited, and a target nucleic substance is detected easily with high accuracy. The inhibitor and the clinical diagnostic reagent contains polymer (H) having a nonspecific hybridization inhibitory action. The polymer has in its molecule at least one of carboxyl and sulfone groups, and phosphorylcholine-like groups, and has a weight average molecular weight of 1000 to 5000000. The method of clinical analysis includes contacting a sample with a test agent capable of hybridizing with a specific nucleic substance in the presence of the inhibitor.

摘要:
An immunoassay element for quantitatively analyzing a macromolecular antigen by determining the change in enzymatic activity caused by a reaction between the macromolecular polymer antigen and an enzyme-labelled antibody. The immunoassay element comprises a substrate layer containing a non-diffusible substrate which forms a diffusible material in the presence of the enzyme, and a reagent layer containing a fragmenting enzyme for further fragmenting the diffusible material into a lower molecular weight product. Also provided is a process for quantitatively analyzing a macromolecular antigen in a sample by the use of the immunoassay element.
摘要:
An automatic immunoassay apparatus utilizes cartridges each having at least two wells, a first well containing solid phase material carrying antigen or antibody, and a second well containing antibody or antigen labelled with labelling compound. The wells may be sealed with a suitable sealing film before use and the sealing film is broken when the cartridge is to be used. The cartridges are transported to a predetermined position on a steppingly movable reaction line and conveyed thereby at a predetermined interval. While the reaction line steps, a sample, labelled antigen or antibody contained in the second well and substrate, if necessary, are added to the first well and stirred at predetermined timings, and reactions between the sample and a reactive solution are measured under control of a control device having a memory storing operator selectable programs for various measuring methods.
