Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Chemical Kinetics

Background:

  • Traditional bioaffinity assays rely on empirical models for calibration.
  • These empirical models may not fully capture the underlying reaction dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new calibration approach for bioaffinity assays based on mechanistic reaction kinetics.
  • To enable accurate determination of unknown sample concentrations using a single calibration point.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a calibration method utilizing a mechanistic model of reaction kinetics.
  • Applied the method to back-calculate unknown sample concentrations from nonequilibrium time points.
  • Validated the theoretical results using two common in-vitro diagnostic assays.
