Abstract
Disclosed are a method and device for performing sequential analytical reactions involving a first dry reagent and a second dry reagent comprised of two or more components having different rates of solubilization. The invention enables one to fully solubilize the components of the second reagent before they are brought into contact with each other to thereby avoid interference with the reaction kinetics which result when one or both of the components are not fully dissolved prior to their being brought into contact. The invention is especially useful in conjunction with immunoassay formats involving latex bound antibodies and polymeric agglutinators.
