Background luminescence is reduced from a solution containing unbound luminescent probes, each having a first molecule that attaches to a target molecule and having an attached luminescent moiety, and luminescent probe/target adducts. Quenching capture reagent molecules are formed that are capable of...http://www.google.de/patents/US7202036?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US7202036 - Quenching methods for background reduction in luminescence-based probe-target binding assays
