Abstract
A methodology for the detection of an analyte of interest in a fluid sample through the formation, growth, and optical detection of light scattering crystals. The methodology provides for direct assay and competitive binding assay protocols using pairs of specifically binding compositions and novel innovations in crystal growth technology to provide an analytical method which is useful in immunodiagnostic, environmental, and biochemical applications. The methodology and test kit apparatus provides rapid, reproducible, and accurate data and is sensitive for the detection of an analyte of interest present in the nanogram per milliliter range.
