Microparticle-based methods and systems and applications thereof

摘要

Microparticle-based analytical methods, systems and applications are provided. Specifically, the use of resonant light scattering as an analytical method for determining either or both a particle's identity and the presence and optionally, the concentration of one or more particular target analytes is described. Applications of these microparticle-based methods in biological and chemical assays are also disclosed.
