Zusammenfassung: | A water-insoluble polymeric particle has an inner core comprising a detectable tracer material distributed in a first polymer for which the tracer material has a high affinity. This first polymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg1) less than 100 DEG C. The particle also has an outer shell comprising a second polymer for which the tracer material has substantially less affinity relative to said first polymer. This second polymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg2) which is greater than or equal to the term [Tg1-10 DEG C]. It also contains groups which are either reactive with free amino or sulfhydryl groups of an immunoreactive species or which can be activated for reaction with such groups. Such a species can be covalently attached to this particle to form an immunoreactive reagent which is useful in analytical elements and various analytical methods including immunological methods, for example, agglutination assays. |
