| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to an encoded microcarrier (2) comprising a readable code attached to it for identification, said encoded microcarrier (2) comprising a body (3) having at least a detection surface (6) to detect a chemical and/or biological reaction, the microcarrier further comprising at least a spacing element (9) projecting from the body (3) and shaped to ensure that, when the encoded microcarrier (2) is laid on a flat plane with the detection surface (6) facing said flat plane, a gap exists between said flat plane and the detection surface (6). The invention also relates to an assay device designed to use a plurality of said encoded microcarriers (2) to perform assays. The invention relates finally to a method for monitoring a chemical or biological reaction.</p> |
