Magnetic and/or electric label assisted detection system and method

A detection system is described for detecting analytes in a fluid sample. The detection system comprises a transporting means for transporting magnetic and/or elec. labels after interaction between the sample fluid and the reagents towards a detection receptacle. The detection receptacle is initially substantially magnetic and/or elec. label free. By transporting the magnetic and/or elec. labels after reaction, interference between unreacted reagents and magnetic and/or elec. label-assisted detection can be reduced. [on SciFinder (R)]
