Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a method for the manipulation for an identification purpose of a microcarrier comprising the steps of: (a) an identification purpose step of the microcarrier, and (b) a positioning and orientation step prior to or during the identification purpose step, wherein the identification purpose step is a detection step for the detection of a identifiable or encoded microcarrier and a labeling step resulting in a identifiable or encoded microcarrier. The invention further relates to an apparatus for the manipulation for identification purposes of a microcarrier comprising means for identification purposes such as a microscope or labeling means such as a high spatial resolution light source, and means for the positioning and orientation of the microcarriers and to a microcarrier suitable for use in a method according to the invention.
Method for the manipulation for an identification purpose of a microcarrier comprising the steps of:
Method according to any of the previous claims for the manipulation for identification purposes of a population of microcarriers, whereby the positioning and orientation step further comprises:
Method for the manipulation for an identification purpose of a microcarrier, comprising the steps of
20 Method according to any of claims 1-19, wherein the positioning and orientation step results from a physical, mechanical, chemical or biological interaction on or near said microcarrier.
Method for encoding a microcarrier, wherein the encoding comprises the writing of a code on a microcarrier whereby the code is generated by a spatial modulation created inside the microcarrier or on its outer surface.
Apparatus for the manipulation for identification purposes of a microcarrier comprising means for identification purposes such as a microscope or labeling means such as a high spatial resolution light source, and means for the positioning and orientation of the microcarriers.
