Abstract:
A new support body (10) for use in a scintillation proximity radioimmunoassay consisting of a scintillation material. The support body (10) of the present invention permits extremely sensitive and specific assays for a broad range of biological and non-biological substances. The support body (10) of the present invention having a ligand (16) coupled to its surface which is capable of selectively biochemically binding to a reactant of interest (11) resulting in a complex (18).
