A nonisotopic immunoassay was developed based on a sensitive detection of Eu(III) in water solution using time-resolved fluorometry. The Eu label is bound to the antibody and EDTA derivatives, either diazophenyl-EDTA-Eu or isothiocyanatophenyl-EDTA-Eu. After the immunometric assay has been completed the Eu is preferably dissociated from the antibody at low pH and measured by time-resolved fluorescence in a micellar solution containing Triton X-100, .beta.-diketone and a Lewis base. The detergent solubilizes the chelating compounds in the solution and excludes water from the fluorescent ligand-Eu complex. Eu concentrations as low as 5 .cntdot. 10-14 M were measured using a 1-s counting time. The sensitivity of the immunoassay of rabbit IgG used as a model system was 25 pg/ml (6 pg/assay).
