2128317 9315392 PCTABS00024 An electrophoresis-based assay system for detection of one or more target substances, i.e. an analyte tagged with fluorescent binding agents. The analyte is reacted with an excess amount of fluorescently tagged binding agent. The reaction mixture is subjected to electrophoresis and the migration of bound and free fluorescent substances are timed at a location where there is a spatial and optical differentiation of the two substances. An optical detector supplies signals corresponding to fluorescent amplitudes of the two substances. The free fluorescent substance arrives at a time expected from calibration runs. The optical signal is a marker for a second time, either earlier or later, when bound substrate should have arrived. Recorded data is searched to establish the relation between free and bound dye among the recorded optical signals. An absence of a bound dye signal infers the absence of target analyte in a sample. The amounts of bound and unbound amounts of the same fluorescent substance may be related by ratio of amplitudes of the optical signals so that the amount of target analyte may be estimated.
