Abstract

See full text

Methods are disclosed for performing a bioassay, comprising activating capsules containing a signal precursor that is hydrolysable from a latent form in which substantially no signal is generated to a form in which it is able to generate a detectable signal, said activating comprising treating said capsules with heat and with an acid or a base catalyzing solution, the combination of said heat and the pH of the catalyzing solution being such as to hydrolyze said precursor to the form in which it is able to generate a detectable signal.
