Abstract
A method for determining one member of an enzyme-substrate pair (the analyte), comprises bringing the members of the pair into contact so as to form, directly or indirectly, a soluble reaction product at or adjacent the surface of an optical waveguide biosensor. The biosensor is preferably a resonant optical biosensor based on the principle of frustrated total reflection.
