METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF AN OLIGOMER IN A LIQUID MEDIUM CONTAINING CORRESPONDING MONOMERS, DEVICE FOR USE WITH THE METHOD, AND ITS APPLICATION, ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO THE DETECTION OF ALLERGENS

摘要

1. Process for detecting an oligomer containing at least two molecules, each having the same single nonrepetitive receptor site, in a liquid medium containing or liable to contain a solution or dispersion of the said molecule in the monomeric state, the said solution or dispersion also containing, or being liable to contain, the said oligomer, characterized in that the said solution or dispersion is brought into contact with a solid support on which there are fixed binding molecules endowed with a specific affinity for the said nonrepetitive receptor site, that there is added to the said solution or dispersion a solution or dispersion of the said binding molecule coupled with a tracer agent, and that the possible presence of the said tracer agent fixed onto the said solid support is determined qualitatively and/or quantitatively.
