Abstract
Systems using coded particles for multiplexed analysis of biological samples or reagents, in which the codes on the particles are at least partially defined by light-polarizing materials.
Claims16
A system for performing a multiplexed experiment comprising
- a set of particles each comprising a light polarizing material;
- an optically detectable code, the code of at least two of the particles being distinct;
- and a substrate;
- wherein the light polarizing material is distributed on a portion of a substrate surface or embedded within a portion of a substrate surface;
- and
- two or more distinct samples and/or reagents connected to the particles in correspondence with the distinct codes, so that the set of particles can be analyzed in the same multiplexed experiment by identifying samples and/or reagents according to the codes of the respective particles to which the samples and/or reagents are connected.
