Abstract
The present invention provides methods, devices, and systems for performing receptor binding assays. In particular, magnetically responsive particles configured to form a complex with a labeled conjugate corresponding to one or more analytes of interest can be moved within an assay device to one or more discrete detection regions through the application of one or more magnetic fields. By positioning the detection region such that the direction of this movement is, for at least a portion of the movement, counter to the direction of fluid flow within the device, detection of assay signals can be performed without the need for separate wash steps. Moreover, contamination of the signals resulting from labeled conjugate being carried in the direction of fluid flow substantially reduced.
