A method, composition, kit and system for carrying out an immunoassay for a particular biological analyte. The method includes: a) contacting a sample containing the analyte with its specific immunochemical binding partner, the binding partner having been labeled with microencapsulated fluorescer material; b) separating the resulting analyte-bound binding partner complex from unbound binding partner; c) disrupting the microcapsules of the complex, thus freeing the fluorescer material to solution; and d) activating the freed fluorescer material and measuring the emitted light. |
