Abstract
A mixture of two different kinds of particles having distinctive, different properties is employed for determining the presence of a select protein in, or the absence of a select protein from, a solution. The first kind of particle provides a property facilitating separation, while the second kind of particle provides a property facilitating detection. The particles are coated with the same protein, a protein able to interact specifically with the select protein.
