Test system for determining an analyte in a liquid sample
First Claim
1. A test system for determining an analyte in a liquid sample comprising at least two compartments, the detection reactions necessary to determine the analyte being carried out in a first compartment and an analytical determination of at least one indicator substance being carried out in a second compartment, wherein a) the two compartments are separated from one another in a manner which allows the indicator substance to pass into the second compartment and which at least partially prevents passage of other substances which can interfere with the analytical determination of the indicator substance in the second compartment;
- b) at least one other substance is present in an immobilized form in the second compartment which, as a capture substance, selectively enriches the indicator substance in the second compartment; and
c) the indicator substance is not a coenzyme and at the same time the capture substance is not a catalytically inactive coenzyme-binding protein.

Abstract
A test system for determining an analyte in a liquid sample is provided comprising at least two compartments, wherein the detection reactions necessary to determine the analyte are carried out in a first compartment and an analytical determination of at least one substance which participates in the detection reactions and is different from the analyte, the indicator substance, takes place in a second compartment. The two compartments are separated from one another in a manner which allows the indicator substance to pass into the second compartment and at least partially prevents passage of other substances that could interfere with the analytical determination of the indicator substance in the second compartment. At least one other substance is present in an immobilized form in the second compartment which, as a capture substance, selectively enriches the indicator substance in the second compartment. The indicator substance is not a coenzyme and at the same time the capture substance is not a catalytically inactive coenzyme-binding protein.

41. A method for determining glycosylated haemoglobin in whole blood or a blood product derived therefrom comprising:
-
a) providing an indicator substance in a first compartment of a test apparatus, the indicator substance comprising a low molecular weight labelled reagent which specifically binds to glycosylated haemoglobin during the course of a detection reaction;
b) enriching the indicator substance that is not bound to glycosylated haemoglobin with specific enriching in a second compartment of the test apparatus, while excluding interfering sample components and excluding the indicator substance bound to glycosylated haemoglobin; and
c) detecting the indicator substance in the second compartment using optical methods. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
