1. An apparatus for measurement of an analyte of interest based upon measurement of chemiluminescence comprising:

  • (a) a cell consisting essentially of a sample volume having a vertical columnar zones, inlet means and outlet means for generating a magnetic field positioned proximate to a single collection zone, said collection zone being below a substantial volume of said cell and said columnar zone, and said field being sufficient to collect said analyte of interest at said collection zone when any such analyte of interest is bound directly or indirectly to a magnetic particle; and

    (b) means to measure the chemiluminescence generated at the collection zone.
