ABSTRACT:
A kinetic assay method and apparatus for performing such method wherein a first sample containing predetermined concentrations of binary analytes is reacted with the reagent to form a reaction product. Reaction rates at first and second times are measured for the first reaction and a first ratio between such measured reaction rates is determined. A second reaction with a second sample and the reagent is also performed wherein the second sample contains predetermined concentrations of the binary analytes. Reaction rates at the first and second times are measured for the second reaction and a second ratio between such rates is determined. A third reaction with a third sample and the reagent is performed, the sample including unknown relative concentrations of the first and second analytes. Reaction rates are again measured at the first and second times and a third ratio between such measured reaction rates is determined.
By comparing the first and third ratios, an indication can be provided to show that the reaction is not influenced by an interfering analyte. The third ratio may be compared to a range of ratios defined by the first and second ratios to determine the relative contribution of at least one of the analytes to a reaction product formed during the third reaction. The relative contribution of a selected one of the analytes may be used to determine a concentration of such analyte corrected for the influence or bias of the other analyte in the reaction.
