Abstract
A method is provided for detecting an analyte of interest in a sample. The method involves binding the analyte to the surface of a substrate through a biotin-biotin binding protein interaction, contacting the surface-bound analyte with a quantitatively detectable analyte-binding moiety that binds thereto, measuring the quantity of detectable moiety bound to the substrate surface and deriving therefrom the quantity of analyte in solution. A preferred use for the present method is in conjunction with a piezoelectric surface transverse wave device. Novel reagents useful for carrying out the inventive method are provided as well.
