Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a process for increasing the sensitivity of an immunological test for detecting an antigen in a samplewherein the solid support carrying the antibody specific for the antigen to be detected is contacted with the sample containing the antigen and after a sufficient time of reaction this sample is removedwherein the same solid support carrying the antibody specific for the antigen is in the course of a repetitive application of the sample again contacted with a fresh aliquot of the sample and after a sufficient reaction time removedwhereby the step of repetitive application of the sample containing the antigen is repeated 1 to 5 times finally followed by washing the solid support with a suitable washing solution.
