Abstract: A diagnostic test composition for detecting and measuring an analyte possessing biologic activity, the composition comprising(a) A redox catalyst system capable of converting a monomer to a polymer, the monomer capable of undergoing addition polymerization, the redox catalyst system comprising one or more chemical moieties with1) the analyte comprising at least one such moiety or2) in the case that the analyte lacks a redox catalyst property, the analyte is linked by a specific ligand to at least one such moiety or is linked by the specific ligand to a generator of at least one such moiety, and(b) at least one monomer capable of undergoing addition polymerization.

Abstract: A diagnostic test composition for detecting and measuring an analyte possessing biologic activity comprising(a) a photocatalyst system capable of converting a monomer to a polymer upon exposure to light, the monomer capable of undergoing addition polymerization, the photocatalyst system comprising one or more chemical moieties, with(1) the analyte comprising at least one such moiety or generating at least one such moiety or(2) in the case that the analyte lacks a photocatalyst property, the analyte is linked by a specific ligand to at least one such moiety or is linked by the specific ligand to a generator of at least one such moiety and(b) at least one monomer capable of undergoing addition polymerization.
