Method of and system for multiplexed analysis by spectral imaging
First Claim
1. A method of detecting the presence, absence and/or level of a plurality of analytes-of-interest in a sample, the method comprising:
- (a) providing a plurality of objects, each of said plurality of objects having a predetermined, measurable and different imagery characteristic, and further having a predetermined and specific affinity to one analyte of the plurality of analytes-of-interest, each said imagery characteristic corresponding to one said predetermined specific affinity, hence each said imagery characteristic corresponds to one analyte of the plurality of analytes-of interest;
(b) providing at least one affinity moiety having a predetermined and specific affinity or predetermined and specific affinities to the plurality of analytes-of-interest, each said affinity moiety having a predetermined, measurable response to light;
(c) combining said objects, said at least one affinity moiety and the sample under conditions for affinity binding; and
(d) simultaneously determining, for each object of said plurality of objects an imagery characteristic, and for at least a portion of said at least one affinity moiety a response to light, thereby detecting the presence, absence and/or level of the plurality of analytes-of-interest in the sample.

Abstract
A method of detecting the presence, absence and/or level of a plurality of analytes-of-interest in a sample, the method comprisES: (a) providing a plurality of objects, each of the plurality of objects having a predetermined, measurable and different imagery characteristic, and further having a predetermined and specific affinity to one analyte of the plurality of analytes-of-interest, each the imagery characteristic corresponding to one the predetermined specific affinity, hence each the imagery characteristic corresponds to one analyte of the plurality of analytes-of interest; (b) providing at least one affinity moiety having a predetermined and specific affinity or predetermined and specific affinities to the plurality of analytes-of-interest, each the affinity moiety having a predetermined, measurable response to light; (c) combining the objects, the at least one affinity moiety and the sample under conditions for affinity binding; and (d) simultaneously determining, for each object of the plurality of objects an imagery characteristic, and for at least a portion of the at least one affinity moiety a response to light, thereby detecting the presence, absence and/or level of the plurality of analytes-of-interest in the sample.

82. A system for detecting the presence, absence and/or level of a plurality of analytes-of-interest in a sample, the system comprising:
-
(a) a plurality of objects, each of said plurality of objects having a predetermined, measurable and different imagery characteristic, and further having a predetermined and specific affinity to one analyte of the plurality of analytes-of-interest, each said predetermined imagery characteristic corresponding to one said predetermined specific affinity, hence each said imagery characteristic corresponds to one analyte of the plurality of analytes-of interest;
(b) at least one affinity moiety having a predetermined and specific affinity or predetermined and specific affinities to the plurality of analytes-of-interest, each said affinity moiety having a predetermined, measurable response to light;
(c) a container for combining said objects, said at least one affinity moiety and the sample under conditions for affinity binding; and
(d) a determinator for simultaneously determining, for each object of said plurality of objects an imagery characteristic, and for at least a portion of said at least one affinity moiety a response to light, thereby detecting the presence, absence and/or level of the plurality of analytes-of-interest in the sample. - View Dependent Claims (83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153)
