A method for determining an analyte in a sample suspected of containing the analyte comprises providing in combination a medium, the sample, and two or more different receptors. Each different receptor binds to at least two different epitopic sites. One of the epitopic sites is a common binding site and one of the epitopic sites is non-common binding site. The non-common epitopic sites are different for each different receptor. The receptors exhibit mono-molecular binding. The medium is incubated under conditions for binding of the receptors to the epitopic sites. The medium is examined for the presence and/or amount of complexes comprising the epitopic sites and the receptors. The presence and/or amount of the complexes indicate the presence and/or amount of the analyte in the sample.
