Abstract: A method for multiplexed detection and quantification of analytes by reacting them with probe molecules attached to specific and identifiable carriers. These carriers can be of different size, shape, color, and composition. Different probe molecules are attached to different types of carriers prior to analysis. After the reaction takes place, the carriers can be automatically analyzed. This invention obviates cumbersome instruments used for the deposition of probe molecules in geometrically defined arrays. In the present invention, the analytes are identified by their association with the defined carrier, and not (or not only) by their position. Moreover, the use of carriers provides a more homogenous and reproducible representation for probe molecules and reaction products than two-dimensional imprinted arrays or DNA chips.

Abstract: Systems, including methods, apparatus, compositions, and kits, for multiplexed analysis of different cell populations to measure a set of responses generated by the cell populations upon exposure to a condition in a shared fluid volume, to define a selective effect, if any, of the condition. The invention also provides databases that relate sets of responses measured from multiplexed analysis of cell populations in a plurality of shared fluid volumes to different conditions that generated each set of responses.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for separating red blood cells by density are described. Older red blood cells are more dense than younger ones. Certain changes in the physiology are recorded in changes in hemoglobin or the red blood cells. By assaying different aged red blood cells, one can determine the historical physiological changes over a period of many weeks. Improved separation of red blood cells is accomplished by using rigid capillary tubes having an inner surface which augments the density equilibrium of red blood cells and/or incrementally increasing the centrifugation forces, as well as by chemically treating red blood cells to improve their deformability.
