Abstract
A portion of a hydrophobic membrane, having an unknown concentration of a first molecule in a sample bound to its surface, is incubated with a second molecule that selectively binds to the first molecule so as to allow determination of its concentration. The membrane is first coated with the first molecule and then dried to render the uncoated portion nonwettable with water. The labeled second molecule selectively binds to the first molecule in the absence of a blocking agent on the membrane.
