Abstract
The invention concerns a method for the detection of an analyte in a sample liquid by an enzyme-immunoassay in which an enzyme-labelled compound is partitioned between a solid and a liquid phase and the amount of enzyme label in the liquid phase outside the solid phase is determined as a measure of the concentration of the analyte. The measurement is carried out in a non-porous molding having the liquid phase contained therein in contact with the solid phase. The method is particularly suitable for carrying out in a cuvette which can be filled via the porous matrix or on a test strip having a space in contact with the solid phase.
