PCT No. PCT/IB96/00245 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 13, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 13, 1996 PCT Filed Mar. 20, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/29601 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 26, 1996A process for the qualitative and/or quantitative determination of an analyte in a sample. The process includes providing a sample containing an analyte of interest in a liquid phase, providing at least one reagent having super-paramagnetic reactive metal particles linked to a substance that binds to the analyte, contacting the sample and the reagent to allow binding of the analyte in the sample and the reagent, applying a magnetic field to the mixture of sample and reagent, and detecting the presence of the analyte in the sample. The device includes a support for the sample and reagent, means for contacting the sample and reagent, magnetic means for confining and separating the analyte from the other components of the sample, and detection means for qualitative and/or quantitative measurement of the analyte.
