  • Heterogeneous fluorescence assays using controlled pore glass particles
    Patent number: 4780423
    Abstract: Improved heterogeneous fluorescence assays are provided which employ solid supports comprising controlled pore glass particles which are substantially transparent at both the wavelength used to excite the fluorescent probe used in the assay and at the emission wavelength of the probe. The assays achieve sensitivities comparable to those achieved with radioimmunoassays without the need to concentrate the particles prior to the fluorescent measurement as in prior art heterogeneous fluorescence assays employing other types of solid supports.
