A reagent for use in immunoassays reduces interference in particlenagglutination assays. The reagent contains particles having covalently boundnantibodies and a tertiary amine compound of formula (I):n N(R 1 -X)(R 2 -Y)(R 3 -Z) nThe moieties R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are independently alkyl or alkyl ether. Thenmoieties X, Y, and Z are independently -OH, -O-R 4 , -S-R 4 , -C(=O)-OH,n-C(=O)-OR 4 , or -C(=O)-NHR 4 (R 4 is alkyl). |
