METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANUFACTURE AND USE OF MACROPOROUS BEADS IN A MULTIPLEX ASSAY

摘要

Macroporous beads and a method of manufacturing and using such macroporous beads wherein the beads are distinguishable for use in a multiplex assay. Preferably, the beads are distinguishable by two or more unique fluorochromes, and at least some of the beads are magnetically responsive. In a preferred form, some of the macroporous beads have interior pores with a different moiety from the exterior surface, allowing beads with different attached functional groups.
