ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to compounds that are bis-biotins. These compounds comprise two biotinyl radicals connected by a chain of atoms, usually at least 16 atoms in length. The bis-biotin is conjugated to a member of a specific binding pair ("sbp member") wherein the chain is not part of the sbp member. Also disclosed are compositions comprising a complex of avidin and a bis-biotin as described above. The compounds and compositions of the invention find use in an assay for an analyte wherein there is employed a reagent system comprising an avidin reagent and a biotin reagent. The improvement of the present invention comprises using as the biotin reagent a bis-biotin as described above. Also disclosed are kits comprising the present bis-biotins and methods of preparing a bis-biotinylated conjugate of a member of a specific binding pair ("sbp member") for use in a specific binding assay.
