Abstract
Fluorescence ligand binding assay of a sample containing an unknown amount of ligand may be performed by making direct intensity measurements. In an immunoassay, for example, the sample may be added to a solution containing fluorescein labeled analyte and then is added an antibody specific to the analyte. Sodium dodecyl sulfate, a surfactant, added to the solution in an amount sufficient to form micelles provides markedly different fluorescent intensity from bound and unbound labeled analyte.
