A method and device for detecting the presence of a suspected antigen in a sample whereby the antigen is trapped using affinity chromatography and the remaining eluant is differentially analyzed against a parallel processed control. The sample is first chromatographically segregated into distinct zones and the resulting eluant is split into two streams. One stream is contacted with a solid phase having immobilized capture ligands specific to the antigen of interest. The other stream is passed through a similar solid phase where the capture ligands have been omitted. The two streams are then differentially analyzed, for example, with ultraviolet light absorption.
