Abstract

The present invention provides a method for measuring an analyte in a sample by a competitive immunoassay using fluorescence microscopy. In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a method for determining the sex of an avian embryo in ovo by determining the presence of an estrogenic steroid compound in a sample of embryonic fluid (eg, allantoic fluid or blood) of an avian egg (Figure 1).

Description

[0001] Related application materials [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Patent Provisional Application No. 60 / 679,717, filed May 11, 2005, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. field of invention [0003] The present invention relates generally to methods of measuring analytes in a sample, and more particularly to methods of measuring analytes using competitive particle immunoassays. Background of the invention [0004] Egg discrimination based on certain observable qualities is a well known and long practiced practice in the poultry industry. Candling is a common term for one such technique, a term derived from the custom of examining eggs by candlelight. As those familiar with eggs know, although the shell may appear opaque under the best lighting conditions, it is actually somewhat translucent, allowing the egg's contents to be seen when held in front of direct light. [0005] In hatchery management, it may be des...
