Abstract
Disclosed is a method for determining the concentration of an analyte in a sample of body fluid. The method involves contacting the body fluid sample with a test strip containing mobile, labeled specific binding partner for the analyte, through which strip the test fluid, analyte and any complex formed by interaction of the analyte and labeled specific binding partner therefore can flow by capillarity. The strip contains at least one zone for capture of the labeled specific binding partner and at least one separate zone for retention of the analyte/labeled specific binding partner complex. By determining the magnitude of the signal from the detectable label in the capture zone(s) and retention zone(s) and determining a final response signal by correlating signals using an algorithm and number of zones chosen in a manner that provides a final response signal best suited for the particular assay, the concentration of the analyte can be determined with greater precision.
