QUANTUM DOT-ENCODED BEAD SET FOR CALIBRATION AND QUANTIFICATION OF MULTIPLEXED ASSAYS, AND METHODS FOR THEIR USE

摘要

Control beads are disclosed that allow for improved quantitation of analytes in multiplexed bead assays. The control beads have a range of concentrations of calibration moieties that provide for the preparation of a titration curve. The titration curve can be used to quantify the concentration of the analytes. The titration curve can be used to correlate the signal obtained from a bead with the concentration (or absolute number of molecules) of the analyte bound to the bead.
