Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems for analyte analysis using a nanopore are disclosed. The methods, devices, and systems utilize a first and a second binding member that each specifically bind to an analyte in a biological sample. The method further includes detecting and/or counting a cleavable tag attached to the second binding member and correlating the presence and/or the number of tags to presence and/or concentration of the analyte. Certain aspects of the methods do not involve a tag, rather the second binding member may be directly detected/quantitated. The detecting and/or counting may be performed by translocating the tag/second binding member through a nanopore. Devices and systems that are programmed to carry out the disclosed methods are also provided.

Abstract: The disclosure provides methods of analyzing an analyte of interest in a biological sample using fluorescent agents and macroconjugates which comprise a core containing a cross-linked polymer or protein, tags, specific binding members or fragments thereof, and optionally carrier proteins. Also provided are methods of analyzing two or more analytes of interest in a biological sample in a single assay using microparticles and detection conjugates comprising different fluorophore labels, acquiring transmitted light and fluorescent images of the microparticles, and using a customized image analysis process to analyze the acquired images.
