Dynamic Blanking
The IMMAGE 800 automatically performs a patented dynamic blanking algorithm for
selected analytes when testing at low serum dilutions. The results are improved by
elimination of the nonspecific light scatter produced by the polymer enhanced reaction
buffer interacting with the serum.
Dynamics of the Immunoprecipitin Reaction
The formation of light scattering complexes is dependent on the presence of antigen
and antibody molecules in optimal proportions. In general, the reagent contains a
fixed amount of antibody which binds with antigen in the sample to form light
scattering complexes. (Refer to Figure 3.3.)
