  • Immunoassay in centrifugal field with complementary particles of differing specific gravities
    Patent number: 4721681
    Abstract: Competitive or inhibition assays are disclosed in which sample (e.g., containing target antigen), a reagent containing first particles (e.g., antibody-coated light particles) and a reagent containing second particles (e.g., antigen coated heavy particles) are reacted in a centrifugal field. Differential migration of first particles, of second particles and of first particles linked to second particles leaves a concentration of particles at a locus in solution after a time, which concentration is a function of the analyte concentration in the sample.
