Abstract: A sandwich immunoassay is disclosed that provides simple to perform yet sensitive identification of analytes in samples. All assay constituents needed (except analyte to be detected) for one assay are dried. Upon reconstitution with sample, a 10 to 15 minute incubation gives a rapid and convenient detection assay capability. The method incorporates the capture of antigen to an immobilized capture antibody. A labeled reporter antibody with the molecule, binds to the antigen to form an immunocomplex capable of generating a detectable signal.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of processing a digital image that is initially represented by digital data indexed to represent positions on a display. The digital data is indicative of an intensity value Ii(x,y) for each position (x,y) in each i-th spectral band. A classification of the image based on its dynamic range is then defined in each of the image's S spectral bands.
