Dual-color encoded Multiplex Beads

The definition and differentiation between bead populations used in multiplex bead assays can be achieved using a combination of fluorescence emission wavelength (color), fluorescence intensity, and bead size. By combining fluorescence encoding and different particle size populations up to 100 populations can be defined.

PolyAn's dual-color encoded beads have been developed specifically for read-out using a fluorescence microscope in combination with a suitable pattern recognition software. This encoding principle is illustrated in the image below. 

 

Dual-colour encoded beads allow a narrower definition of the bead population, but have higher requirements regarding the read-out software. Using size as well as fluorescence makes it easier to differentiate between populations. The overall system becomes more robust and the requirements with regards to the read-out system can be reduced.
