Bioreagent immobilization medium
First Claim
1. An immobilization medium comprising:
- a. a bioreagent immobilized to a solid phase, wherein said solid phase is comprised of particles with a polymer absorbed thereon, wherein said adsorbed polymer is selected from the group consisting of quaternary ammonium polymers, tertiary amino polymers, secondary amino polymers, and primary amino polymers; and
b. a latex resin, wherein said immobilized bioreagent is evenly dispersed in said latex resin;
wherein said immobilization medium is a substantially homogeneous dispensable mixture.

Abstract
The present invention provides an immobilization medium which can immobilize bioreagents to support materials and which dries to a water resistant layer or film. The immobilization medium comprises (i) a liquid or fluid binding reagent and (ii) complexes of a bioreagent immobilized to a solid phase which are evenly dispersed within the binding reagent. The suspension can further include supplemental ingredients evenly dispersed throughout the medium which can provide the medium with electrochemical properties, enhance the stability of the immobilized bioreagent and/or improve the medium'"'"'s capability of drying to a substantially water resistant or insoluble layer. The immobilization medium provided by the instant invention is in the form of a homogeneous liquid suspension.
