ASSEMBLING METHOD AND IMAGE PUZZLE FOR USING PRINCIPLE OF COLORED-BOX MADE OF BAMBOO

摘要

A method is provided for the detection of analytes in samples. The method makes use of a plurality of sets of particulate supports, the supports of each set carrying a unique identifier allowing them to be distinguished from the supports of the other sets. Each set of supports is partitioned from the other sets of supports. The method comprises the steps of: (a) attaching a primary analyte to the supports of all the sets, (b) introducing respective samples to the sets of supports so that each sample is associated with a corresponding unique identifier, each sample potentially containing a secondary analyte which binds to the primary analyte, (c) combining the sets of supports to form a support mixture containing supports from all of the sets, (d) introducing a reporter system to the support mixture, the reporter system being responsive to the presence of secondary analyte bound to the supports via the primary analyte, and (e) interrogating the support mixture to determine the unique identifiers of supports which have an activated reporter system in order to identify which samples contain the secondary analyte.
