MANAGING VARIATION IN SPECTROSCOPIC INTENSITY MEASUREMENTS THROUGH THE USE OF A REFERENCE COMPONENT

摘要

The present invention generally pertains to methods and kits for managing the variation in spectroscopic intensity measurements through the use of a reference component. The reference component may comprise a reference spectroscopic substance and may be contained together with a sample of interest in a sample to be tested, wherein the sample of interest may comprise a sample spectroscopic substance. Each sample to be tested may be uniquely identified and, hence, “barcoded” by combinations of different colors and concentrations of spectroscopic substances, contained therein.

主权项

1. A method for managing variation in spectroscopic intensity measurements comprising:
a) a reference component comprising a spectroscopic substance (“reference spectroscopic substance”), and b) a sample comprising a sample of interest and one or more spectroscopic substances (“sample spectroscopic substances”); wherein the reference component and the sample together comprise a sample to be tested, wherein the reference spectroscopic substance and the one or more sample spectroscopic substances are substantially distinct within the sample to be tested, and wherein, the sample to be tested is analyzed for spectroscopic intensity measurements of each spectroscopic substance.
