Abstract
Methods for modulating the rates and dose responses of immunoassays through the incorporation of one or more detergents into the immunoassay reaction are disclosed. The methods are particularly suitable for automated immunoassay formats, especially with formats that use analyte-biotin bidentate reagents. The methods may be used to facilitate the detection of any desired, preselected pharmacological agent.
