Abstract:
Methods and materials are disclosed relating to an improved method for amplifying a signal in a diagnostic assay for an analyte, using an amplification polymer that multivalently binds to one or more non-analyte-specific binding site of the multivalent bridge conjugate, if present on the solid support.
Abstract:
Methods and materials are disclosed relating to an improved method for amplifying a signal in a diagnostic assay for a nucleic acid, comprising the steps of providing an amplification polymer bound to a nucleic acid analyte, wherein the amplification polymer comprises a plurality of amine groups; binding amine groups on the amplification polymer with a detectable label complex; and reacting under high salt conditions an acetylating compound with amine groups not bound with a detectable label complex.
