  • Precision fluorescently dyed polymeric microparticles and methods of making and using same
    Patent number: 7445844
    Abstract: An improved method of making a series of bead or microsphere or particle populations characterized by subtle variation in a proportion or ratio of at least two fluorescent dyes distributed within a single bead of each population is provided. These beads, when excited by a single excitation light source are capable of giving off several fluorescent signals simultaneously. A set containing as many as 64 distinct populations of multicolored, fluorescent beads is provided and when combined with analytical reagents bound to the surface of such beads is extremely useful for multiplexed analysis of a plurality of analytes in a single sample. Thus, methods of staining polymeric particles, the particles themselves, and methods of using such particles are claimed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 2, 2005
    Date of Patent: November 4, 2008
    Assignee: Luminex Corporation
    Inventors: Don J. Chandler, Van S. Chandler, Beth A. Lambert, Janet J. Reber, Stacie L. Phipps
