Abstract
A method of measuring the rate of binding of a binding substance and an analyte, for example in an assay such as an immunoassay, uses an initial step of performing ultrasonication sufficient to disrupt binding between the binding substance and the analyte. After cessation of the ultrasonication, measurements are taken to determine the rate of binding at cessation of said ultrasonication or at a predetermined time thereafter. The ultrasonication results in knowledge of the precise time of the start of the binding reaction which provides a better rate measurement.
