2137238 9325905 PCTABS00028 A method is provided for determining false negative results in an immunoassay for an analyte of interest by determining the presence of sample in an immunoassay vessel in which the immunoassay is carried out. The method comprises using a sample monitor reagent or reagent system that is capable of producing a signal when sample is present, the sample monitor reagent or reagent system being different for the analyte-specific reagent or reagent system used in the immunoassay itself. A negative signal generated by the sample monitor reagent or reagent denotes a false negative result in the immunoassay itself.
