Abstract
The novel analytical devices and methods of the present invention involve a semiquantitative specific binding assay method for the detection of the presence of at least a predetermined minimum concentration of an analyte in the test sample. A calibration reagent is present at a concentration sufficient to inhibit the formation of a detectable analyte complex unless a predetermined minimum concentration of analyte is present in the test sample.
