Abstract
Abstract In a homogeneous assay, binder supported on a solid support, having a sac lysing agent conjugated thereto, is contacted with analyte and tracer comprised of sacs containing a detectable marker. The sacs of the bound tracer portion are lysed to release marker to determine analyte in the sample.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 22
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
An assay for an analyte in a sample, comprising: contacting a solid support with both tracer and analyte in a sample, said solid support prior to the contacting having supported thereon both a sac lysing agent and a binder for at least the analyte, said tracer comprising a ligand coupled to sacs having a detectable marker, said contacting producing a bound tracer phase and a free tracer phase, said bound tracer phase coming into contact with supported sac lysing agent to release detectable marker by lysing of sacs of bound tracer; and determining marker released from the sacs as a measure of analyte.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
An assay for an analyte in a sample, comprising: contacting a solid support with both tracer and analyte in a sample, said solid support prior to the contacting having supported thereon both a sac lysing agent and a binder for at least the analyte, said tracer comprising a ligand coupled to sacs having a detectable marker, said contacting producing a bound tracer phase and a free tracer phase, said bound tracer phase coming into contact with supported sac lysing agent to release detectable marker by lysing of sacs of bound tracer; and determining marker released from the sacs as a measure of analyte.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The assay of claim 1 wherein the sac lysing agent and the binder are separately supported on the solid support.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
The assay of claim 1 wherein the sac lysing agent is conjugated to the binder which is supported on the solid support.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
The assay of claim 1 wherein the detectable marker is a chromogen.

Dependent Claim
11 words
The assay of claim 4 wherein the binder is an antibody.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
20 words
The assay of claim 1 wherein the ligand portion of the tracer is bound by the binder for the analyte.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
12 words
The assay of claim 1 wherein the lysing agent is an enzyme.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
The assay of claim 1 wherein the marker released from the sacs is determined without separating the bound tracer portion from the sample.

Claim 14
Dependent Claim
97 words
A reagent kit for use in an assay for analyte in a sample wherein the solid support is contacted with both tracer and analyte with the solid support prior to the contacting having supported thereon both the sac lysing agent and a binder for at least the analyte, comprising: a package, said package including a solid support having supported thereon a binder for at least the analyte and a sac lysing agent; and a tracer comprising a ligand coupled to sacs having a detectable marker, said sacs being capable of being lysed by said sac lysing agent.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
97 words
A reagent kit for use in an assay for analyte in a sample wherein the solid support is contacted with both tracer and analyte with the solid support prior to the contacting having supported thereon both the sac lysing agent and a binder for at least the analyte, comprising: a package, said package including a solid support having supported thereon a binder for at least the analyte and a sac lysing agent; and a tracer comprising a ligand coupled to sacs having a detectable marker, said sacs being capable of being lysed by said sac lysing agent.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
20 words
