Analyte binding turbidity assay

A data logger that avoids wasting power when data gathering is not needed (or is done by other means), but is activated automatically, without the need for human intervention, when it is needed. The data logger senses and stores data when a primary power source has failed. The data logger includes at least one back-up power source, and a detector switch connected to a primary power source and to one or more back-up power sources, the detector-switch detecting a condition indicative of the primary power source failure state, and connecting at least one back-up power source to provide power to the sampler, the storage medium and the sensor upon detection of the failure condition.

Data logger

Analyte-binding assays, such as iron binding assays, are disclosed. The assays can provide information relating to the serum iron content and/or total iron binding capacity of a sample.

Analyte-binding assay

Methods, reagents and reaction mixtures for determining total iron binding capability is disclosed.

Rapid separation assay for total iron binding capacity

A method of separating a first class of lipoprotein in a sample from a second class of lipoprotein in the sample including: precipitating the second class of lipoprotein; contacting the sample with a magnetically responsive particle; and placing the sample in a magnetic field until the magnetically responsive particle has sedimented, thereby causing the precipitated second class of lipoproteins to sediment, leaving the first class of lipoproteins in the supernatant of the sample.
