    Abstract: Determn. of the concn. of the free portion of an active ingredient (I) in a biological fluid in presence of its natural binder (II), the bound and free fractions of (I) being in equilibrium, comprises (1) treating the test sample with unlabelled antibody (Ab); (2) sepg. sample and Ab; (3) incubating Ab with a labelled, cross-reactive tracer (T), and (4) measuring amt. of T which is bound or unbound, and from this calculating the concn. of free (I). The novelty is that the amt. of Ab and/or its affinity to (I) is such that it does not significantly alter the equilibrium between free and bound forms, while T has a significantly higher or lower affinity for Ab than (I) itself. Also new is a test kit for the process. Specifically, Ab can be monoclonal or polyclonal, and T is labelled with a radioactive atom; fluoroescent or chemiluminescent gp.; enzyme or chromophore.
