More Information
Summary:A device for the detection of analyte (such as an antibody to a pathogen) in a sample, particularly a saliva sample, has means for detecting false negative results and determining sample viability. The device comprises a first antibody or specific binding molecule coupled to particles and capable of binding to any characteristic molecule of the species (such as another antibody) being tested to form a binary complex; a means for detecting the analyte; and a second, immobilised specific binding molecule capable of binding to the characteristic molecule.
