SYSTEM AND PROBE COMPOSITION FOR CELL COUNTING AND ANALYSIS

摘要

A probe composition for use in labeling one or more of a plurality of different cellular analytes in a sample, comprising:
a mixture of analyte-specific probes, each capable of binding specifically to a different analyte, wherein each probe is characterized by (a) a binding compound specific for a cellular analyte under binding conditions, and (b) attached to the binding compound an optical label, the optical Label of each different probe having a different excitation band and the optical labels of all probes emitting optical signals within the same wavelength range [separate from the excitation bands of the optical labels of the probe composition].
