PCT No. PCT/GB94/02741 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 17, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 17, 1996 PCT Filed Dec. 15, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/16914 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 22, 1995Sensor devices for use in assaying for a ligand in a sample are described, the devices comprising: i) a discrete zone ("the measurement zone") on a region of which ("the measurement region") is immobilized directly or indirectly a first specific binding partner for the ligand under assay (or a reagent precomplexed with or capable of forming a complex with a specific binding partner for the ligand under assay), which zone additionally contains in releasable form, a first known amount of an optionally labelled second specific binding partner for the ligand under assay, the second specific binding partner being directed to an epitope of the ligand assay different to the epitope to which the first specific binding partner is directed; and ii) a second discrete zone ("the reference zone") on a region of which is immobilized directly or indirectly a first specific binding partner for the ligand under assay (or a reagent precomplexed with or capable of forming a complex with a specific binding partner for the ligand under assay), which zone additionally contains, in releasable form, a known amount of ligand analogue and separately contains, in releasable form, a second known amount of an optionally labelled second specific binding partner for the ligand under assay as defined above, said second known amount being less than the aforementioned first known amount in the measurement zone. Methods of sandwich assay using such devices are also described.
