Abstract

The invention relates to methods for the quantitative or qualitative detection of an analyte in an assay and adequate reagents therefor, particularly a homogeneous binding test. According to the invention, an analyte-specific binding partner R1 comprises more than one specific binding point for a specific binding partner X that is associated with a component of a signal-forming system while a second analyte-specific binding partner R2 comprises more than one specific binding point for a specific binding partner Y which is also associated with a component of a signal-forming system.
