Abstract
A light-stable physical developer comprising a solution of silver ions, a desensitizing agent and a reducing agent. A method for the detection of one or more components of an aggregate formed between at least one specific binding agent and its corresponding bindable substance by labelling at least one component of said aggregate with a marker and contacting said aggregate with said light-stable physical developer, whereby under influence of the marker a metal particle is formed which can be detected. Further the invention also relates to products, e.g. a test-kit adapted for carrying out the above mentioned method.
