Abstract:
1. A method for a rapid test, comprising: preparing a particle reagent by dispensing a liquid suspension of labelled reagent particles comprising heavy metal or plastic particles into a test tube or receptacle separate from a rapid test device, allowing said liquid particle suspension to dry until the particle suspension is completely dried up to a bottom of the receptacle or the test tube to obtain a dried particle reagent in the test tube or the receptacle, before the rapid test, the dried particle reagent is made into soluble form by adding a liquid sample with one or several analytes on the dried particle, whereby the dried particle reagent resolubiizes and reacts with the one or several analytes in the sample, and the particle reagent and the one or several analytes bound to the particle reagent are transferred into contact with a separate rapid test device, in which a visible signal is formed by the particle reagent, wherein particles of the particulate reagent are about 10 nm to about 1000 nm in size.
