Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC C  G | IPC C  G

Claim 0:
1. A method of evaluating a sample for the presence of a target analyte, the method comprising:
(a) contacting the sample with a polymeric dye conjugate that specifically binds the target analyte to produce a labelling composition contacted sample, wherein the polymeric dye conjugate comprises:
(i) a polymeric dye comprising a thiophene-containing co-monomer; and
(ii) a specific binding member covalently linked to the polymeric dye; and

(b) assaying the labelling composition contacted sample for the presence of a polymeric dye conjugate-target analyte binding complex to evaluate whether the target analyte is present in the sample, wherein the assaying comprises contacting the labelling composition contacted sample with excitation radiation with a blue wavelength.
