Abstract
The invention provides a method and its kit for quantitatively detecting a specific analyte with a single capturing agent. The quantitative detection of a specific analyte with a single capturing agent comprises: firstly combining the tested analyte with a solid phase capturing agent, then labeling analyte which has been trapped by the capturing agent with a report molecule; secondly eluting the labeled analyte from the complex, recombining the tested analyte with a new solid phase capturing agent, and ascertaining the content of analyte by detecting the report molecule'"'"'s label signal. The kit of the invention comprises a capturing device, a detecting device, a report molecule for labeling and an analysis substance eluate. The advantages of the invention are the need of one single capturing agent, the capability of detecting for many analytes which can'"'"'t be tested at present, wide application, high sensibility and low noise. The invention can be applied to diagnosis, medical expertise, new medicine development, application of protein micro array and chip, and fundamental research.

9. A method using a single capturing reagent to quantitatively measure an analyte, wherein said method comprising the following steps:
-
(a). capture the analyte;
coat a solid surface of a device with capturing reagent(s) to form a “
capture device”
;
add a biological sample to be tested and let the said capturing reagent(s) bind to the specific analyte(s) in the sample to form a capturing reagent-analyte complex;(b). label the complex;
use a reporter molecule to label the capturing reagent-analyte complex;(c). elute the analyte;
separate the labeled analyte from the complex with an elution buffer;(d). recapture;
neutralize and dilute the eluted analyte and let the capturing reagent on a detection device bind to the labeled analyte, wherein said detection device is a solid surface coated with the same or different capturing reagent;(e). detection;
determine the level of said analyte by measuring the signal produced by said reporter molecule. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
