Abstract
An assay for an analyte in a test sample that uses a ligand binding reaction between the analyte and a specific binding member or a binding member pair that includes one binding member having a Raman active reporter. The analyte can be assayed by measurement of the Raman scattering signal of the Raman-active reporter. The Raman scattering signal can be either a noon-enhanced Raman scattering signal or a Raman scattering signal that is enhanced by a surface capable of enhancing that Raman scattering signal.
