Abstract
Analytical elements and methods for the detection of albumin in liquid samples feature an albumin-active complex comprising a detectable species bound to a carrier. The detectable species has a sufficiently high affinity for albumin that, when contacted with a liquid solution containing albumin, the detectable species separates from the albumin-active complex and becomes bound to albumin to form a complex comprising albumin and detectable species. The presence of albumin can be detected and, if desired, quantified by determining either the reduction of detectable species in the albumin-active complex of the formation of a complex comprising albumin and detectable species.
