DIAGNOSTIC ASSAY EMPLOYING SIGNAL PRODUCING AGENT ON SUPPORT

摘要

DIAGNOSTIC ASSAY EMPLOYING SIGNAL PRODUCING AGENT ON SUPPORT Methods and kits are provided for detecting analytes, which can be measured directly or indirectly, by production of an enzymatic product. The enzymatic product reacts with a signal producing reagent bound to a bibulous strip. Various devices are employed for producing a reaction, directly or indirectly, with the analyte and then providing for migration of the product through the bibulous strip with reaction with the reagent to produce a detectable signal. The distance from a pre-determined site to the border of the detectable signal is a quantitative measure of the analyte in the sample.
