  • Buffered wash composition, insolubilizing composition, test kits and method of use
    Patent number: 5366864
    Abstract: A buffered aqueous composition is useful simultaneously as a wash solution and a dye-providing composition in specific binding assays involving enzyme-labeled specific binding reagents. The wash composition includes a dye-providing composition, a buffer and an organic solvent having a certain molecular weight and water-solubility. Another useful composition includes a particulate substrate having avidin attached thereto, and a peroxidase reducing agent. Either composition can be provided in a diagnostic test kit, and can be used to detect a specific binding ligand in assays.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 30, 1992
    Date of Patent: November 22, 1994
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: Gregory J. McClune, Karen L. Findling
