Abstract
The invention relates to a method for normalization of a label-free system for calibration-free concentration analysis. The method comprises (1) providing a solution containing a control macromolecular particle of a known concentration at a pH lower than the pI of the macromolecular particle and a low ionic strength; (2) contacting the solution with a negatively charged optical sensor surface at a first flow rate to allow electrostatic binding of the macromolecular particle to the surface and obtaining a first sensorgram; (3) contacting the solution with the optical sensor surface at a second flow rate to allow electrostatic binding of the macromolecular particle to the surface and obtaining a second sensorgram; and (4) fitting the sensorgrams to a binding equation to determine a measured concentration of the control; wherein the optical sensor surface is not immobilized with a ligand for the control and the contacting steps are performed under mass transport limitations. Also provided is a kit for performing the method, as well as a method for determining a concentration of an analyte.
