METHOD FOR DETECTING AND MEASURING TARGET SUBSTANCE ON BASIS OF MEASUREMENT OF POLARIZATION ANISOTROPY, AND PARTICLES USED THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18526055 titled 'METHOD FOR DETECTING AND MEASURING TARGET SUBSTANCE ON BASIS OF MEASUREMENT OF POLARIZATION ANISOTROPY, AND PARTICLES USED THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and kit for measuring a target substance in a sample liquid with high detection sensitivity.
- The method involves preparing two types of particles that specifically bind to the target substance, mixing them with the sample liquid, and determining the presence or absence, as well as the concentration, of the target substance based on the polarization anisotropy of the mixed liquid.
Potential Applications:
- Medical diagnostics
- Environmental monitoring
Problems Solved:
- High detection sensitivity for target substances in sample liquids
Benefits:
- Accurate and sensitive measurement of target substances
- Easy to use kit for testing
Potential Commercial Applications:
- High Sensitivity Target Substance Measurement Technology in Medical Diagnostics
Possible Prior Art: No prior art known at this time.

- What is the shelf life of the kit containing the particles?
The article does not mention the shelf life of the kit containing the particles used in the method.
Original Abstract Submitted
To provide a method and kit for measurement of a target substance with high detection sensitivity, provided is a method of measuring at least any one of the presence or absence, and a concentration, of a target substance in a sample liquid, the method including the steps of: (a) preparing a first particle that specifically binds to the target substance and contains a rare earth complex, and a second particle that has a larger average particle diameter than that of the first particle and specifically binds to the target substance; (b) mixing the sample liquid, the first particle, and the second particle to provide a mixed liquid; and (c) determining at least any one of the presence or absence, and the concentration, of the target substance from polarization anisotropy of the mixed liquid obtained in the step (b).
