<p>Methods and kits are disclosed for determining, either in a homogeneous or heterogeneous assay format, one or more target analytes in a sample using binding compositions coupled to molecular tags by cleavable linkages. Generally, an assay mixture is formed comprising a sample and a reagent comprising multiple such binding compositions under conditions that permit stable complexes to form between the binding compositons and analytes. In one aspect of the invention, the interaction between the binding compositions and their respective binding sites brings a cleavage-inducing moiety into close proximity to cleavable linkages or provides a recognizable substrate for a cleavage-inducing moiety. In this way, one or more molecular tags for each of the analytes are released from the complexes. Released molecular tags are chromatographically separated and the presence and/or amount of the target analytes are determined based on the analysis of the released and separated molecular tags.</p> |
