A method of assaying for an analyte comprises the steps of: i) mixing a sample of cells possibly containing the analyte with a cell lysis reagent to provide a cell lysis fluid, ii) mixing the cell lysis fluid with reagents, including a specific binding partner of the analyte for binding to the analyte, for performing a specific binding assay for the analyte, iii) and mixing the cell lysis fluid with a sequestrant for the cell lysis reagent, whereby the binding of step ii) is performed in the presence of the sequestrant.
