1. A detectable molecule of the formula A3 --(X--R1 --E--Detb)m where A3 is A2, an oligo-or polysaccharide, an olgo- or polypeptide or a synthetic polymer, each of said oligo- or polysaccharide, oligo- or polypeptide or synthetic polymer having at least one modifiable reactive group consisting of amino, hydroxy, 1,2-cis diOH, halide aryl, imidazoyl, carbonyl, carboxyl, thiol or a residue comprising an activated carbon;

  • A2 is a specific binding ligand other than an oligo- or polysaccharide, oligo- or polypeptide or an oligo- or polymucleotide and has a molecular weight of less than about 2,000;

    --X-- is selected from the group consisting of ##STR52## --N═

    N--, --NHSO2 --, --OSO2 --, --NH--N═

    N--, ##STR53## -CH2 --NH, ##STR54## --NH--CH2 --, ##STR55## --S--CH2 --;

    --R1 -- is selected from the group consisting of ##STR56## and a C1 -C10 branched or unbranched alkyl or aralkyl, which may be substituted by --OH;

    --Y-- is a direct bond to --E--, or --Y-- is --E--R2 -- where -R2 -- is a C1 -C10 branched or unbranched alkyl;

    Za is chlorine, bromine or iodine;

    --E-- is O, NH or an acyclic divalent sulfur atom;

    Detb is a chemical moiety capable of being detected, comprising biotin or a substituted or unsubstituted metal chelator or a compound capable of yielding a metal chelator; and

    m is an integer from 1 to the total number of modified reactive groups on A3.
