Brownian Microbarcodes for Bioassays

摘要

An encoded microparticle carrying a spatial code is provided; and a set of encoded microparticles are provided with distinguishable spatial codes, wherein the codes comply with a pre-determined coding scheme. Presented are also methods of using the encoded microparticles in various biological assays, such as various multiplex quantitative PCR (real-time PCR) and multiplex chromosomal immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays.
