Summary:Separation Method The present invention relates to a separation method which finds an application in the detection of species (e.g. in immunoassay and in immunosensors), to a method suitable for use in detection, to a sensor and to a testkit. The invention provides a separation method, suitable for use in an immunoassay method for the detection of an analyte species, which separation method includes the use of an auxiliary species, said auxiliary species being provided on a support material t and the use of a binding species capable of binding with the auxiliary species, said binding species being capable of being linked with a primary species by means of a linkage which involves a link, of a non-specific binding type, to the binding species. The invention also provides a method suitable for use in detection and a sensor. The auxiliary species may be, for example, an antigenic ligand, or a non-antigenic ligand.
