Abstract
A method of dispensing wash solution to separate free from bound labels in a slide immunorate assay. The method comprises dispensing wash first as separate drops spaced to allow complete absorption prior to the next drop, followed by a time at which the rate of dispensed wash exceeds the rate of fluid uptake of the slide, to form a continuous stream. The first phase of this wash method provides a more complete separation of bound from free under the dispense tip than occurs if only a continuous stream is used throughout.
