VERFAHREN ZUM NACHWEIS EINES ANALYTTEILES MITTELS SIGNALLOKALISIERUNG.

摘要

A method for detecting an analyte moiety by means of a localized signal is disclosed. The method involves generating the signal in a specific, indicative, viscous, or thick medium. The specific medium comprises a network, a solution, and a signal precursor. The indicative medium comprises a network, a solution, and a signalling moiety. The viscous medium comprises a specific component, a solution, and a signal precursor. The thick medium comprises a specific component, a solution, and a signalling moiety. The network is suspended or dissolved in the solution. Signal localization results because the network reduces convection in the specific or indicative medium or because the viscosity reduces diffusion in the viscous or thick medium.
