Color-encoding and in-situ interrogation of matrix-coupled chemical compounds

摘要

Disclosed is a method for the physico-chemical encoding of a collection of beaded resin ("beads") allowing determination of the chemical identity of bead-anchored compounds, following identification of beads bearing compounds of interest in an assay, by in-situ interrogation of individual beads, which does not require isolation of the beads of interest. These methods can be used to implement color-coding strategies in applications and including the ultrahigh-throughput screening of bead-based combinatorial compounds libraries as well as multiplexed diagnostic and environmental testing and other biochemical assays.
