Zusammenfassung:The present invention is directed to biochemical assay methods, which uses a biotin-immobilized solid support surface for quantitating an analyte or measuring kinetic binding in different samples, from about 3 to 20 times, while maintaining acceptable assay performance. The methods use a streptavidin capture solution comprising streptavidin or preferably streptavidin polymers. The biotin-immobilized solid support surface is regenerated after each cycle of reactions by contacting the surface in an acidic solution having pH about 1-4, followed by DMSO. The regeneration step removes the bound immunocomplex and leaves the biotin on the surface.
