Abstract
A method of assay for a ligand in a sample is described in which calibration occurs within the assay. This is achieved utilizing a measurement region and one ore more calibration regions. In at least one of the calibration regions a non-zero signal results, either because of the presence of a calibration reagent or as a result of a binding reaction analogous to that which takes place in the measurement region.
