Abstract: A method for detecting a target analyte in a sample, the method having the steps of: binding the target analyte to a fluorescently coded particle capable of specifically binding to the target analyte; labeling the target analyte with a first chemiluminescence component; adding a second chemiluminescence component to the labeled target analyte to produce chemiluminescence; stabilizing the particle; exciting fluorescence from the fluorescently coded particle; detecting fluorescence from the fluorescently coded particle; and detecting the chemiluminescence.

Abstract: An analyte detection system utilizing a combination of fluorescent labels for labeling particles and an analyte specific fluorescent analyte detection dye. The particles contain a combination of fluorescent labels for coding the particles and an analyte specific fluorescent dye. The particles can be used to identify and quantify analytes in an analytical sample by reaction of the analytical sample with the particles. An analytical device can identify the particles according to the combination of fluorescent labels. The device can then correlate the identified particle with the analyte specific fluorescent analyte detection dye. Multiple subpopulations of particles can be used to identify and quantify multi-analytes in a single analytical sample. Near infrared (NIR) fluorescent labels useful in the detection system are also provided.

Abstract: A system for measuring the irradiance of a fluorescently labeled particle having a cytometric flow chamber; a plurality of excitation light sources; a plurality of scatter detectors, each configured to detect light from only one of the plurality of excitation light sources and arranged so as to detect scattered light from the particle; a trigger connected to the plurality of scatter detectors, the trigger emitting a signal when scattered light incident on one of the scatter detectors is exceeding a predetermined threshold value; collection optics; at least one fluorescence detector to receive emissions collected by the collection optics and generate an output, the at least one fluorescence detector being configured to respond only to a discrete number of wavelength bands; and an integrator for recording the output of the at least one fluorescence detector in response to a signal from the trigger.
