ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods and compositions for assaying biological samples, such as human serum, for barbiturates. In one aspect, analogs of barbiturates derivatized with fluorescein and analogs of barbiturates derivatized with immunogenic polypeptides are provided. The fluorescent analogs are employed as tracers in a competitive homogeneous immunoassay, i.e., a fluorescence polarization immunoassay, for detecting barbiturates. The immunogenic analogs are employed to make anti-barbiturate antiserum of the invention for use in the immunoassay method. Intermediates for preparing the fluorescent and immunogenic analogs are also provided. Further provided are test kits, comprising a fluorescent tracer and an antiserum according to the invention, for analyzing biological samples by fluorescence polarization immunoassay for the presence of a barbiturate. Further, an improvement is provided in immunoassays for analytes in serum, wherein a transfer means, such as a pipette, is used repeatedly to transfer different samples into the assay system. In the improvement, an aqueous solution of specified composition, comprising dimethylsulfoxide and an alkali halide, is used to wash the transfer means between transfers.
