| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a reagent for an immunoassay comprising insoluble carrier particles which can give the values to be determined with high accuracy and reliability, and can be stored for a long time; an immunoassay using the reagent; and a method for keeping the reagent stable. The present invention provides an immunoassay which comprises carrying out an antigen-antibody reaction using insoluble carrier particles in an aqueous medium comprising a buffer having its buffer capacity in a neutral or alkaline region (except for a carbonate-based buffer) and a carbonic acid compound releasing a bicarbonate ion; a reagent for an immunoassay comprising a buffer having its buffer capacity in a neutral or alkaline region (except for a carbonate-based buffer), a carbonic acid compound releasing bicarbonate ion, and insoluble carrier particles; and a method for keeping the reagent for an immunoassay comprising insoluble carrier particles stable, which comprises allowing insoluble carrier particles to co-exist in an aqueous medium comprising a buffer having its buffer capacity in a neutral or alkaline region (except for a carbonate-based buffer) and a carbonic acid compound releasing a bicarbonate ion. |
