ABSTRACT:
A method of lowering the rate of a specific binding reaction in an assay for the detection and/or measurement of an analyte of interest is provided herein. In particular, the method includes providing a fluorescent conjugate of the analyte; a component capable of specifically binding to the analyte and its fluorescent conjugate; and a sample, which includes or is suspected to include the analyte. The method also includes allowing the specific binding component to interact simultaneously or at different times with the fluorescent conjugate of the analyte and the analyte in the sample, thereby forming a detectable complex due to the reaction between the fluorescent conjugate of the analyte and its specific binding component, wherein the reaction is performed in the presence of non-physiological amounts of at least one additive. The method further includes monitoring for the rate of change of the concentration of the detectable complex as a function of the amount of analyte in the sample.
