Jul 23, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/555898

Inventors:

Man Cheng - San Ramon CA, US

Assignee:

Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. - Hercules CA

International Classification:

C12Q 1/68

US Classification:

506 9, 435 612, 506 16

Abstract:

Particles that generate electromagnetic spectra upon appropriate illumination and in which the spectra can be converted to codes that reflect differences in the spectra are functionalized with a plurality of identical primer pairs on which bridge amplification can be performed. Using these particles, nucleic acids in a biological sample are amplified and exposed to a label that sends a signal only when bound to double-stranded DNA. The code for each particle is correlated with the primer pairs, and the captured nucleic acids are thus detected and identified. The procedure is useful for multiplex DNA or RNA detection as well as counting of target DNA and RNA molecules in the sample.
