Abstract
A method for detecting and/or determining an agglomerate formed by the reaction between a specific binding agent and the corresponding acceptor substance according to the general methodology of blot overlay assays by using colloidal metal particles labelled components which may be visualized as a coloured signal at the surface of the blotting medium characteristric for the colloidal metal particles used or quantitatively determined following art-known spectrophotometric procedures such as densitometry.
