Claim:
1. A method of selecting a target material reacting with an analyte based on an encoded particle-based platform, comprising the steps of: preparing a plurality of encoded particles including the target material, the plurality of encoded particles having one or more codes distinguishable from one another corresponding to the target material, wherein the codes distinguish the target material; preparing a first plate including first wells, providing the plurality of encoded particles onto the first plate by pipetting, and disposing the plurality of encoded particles in the first wells; preparing a second plate including second wells and disposing the analyte in the second wells; attaching the first plate to the second plate where the first wells of the first plate and the second wells of the second plate correspond to each other; decoding the codes of the plurality of encoded particles disposed in each of the first wells; releasing the target material by diffusing from the plurality of encoded particles via the step of attaching the first plate to the second plate, wherein the target material is released into the second wells and a reaction is caused between the target material and the analyte; and selecting the target material which reacts with the analyte, wherein the step of preparing the plurality of encoded particles comprises: mixing the target material and a polymer to form a solution in a resin form; and solidifying the solution formed in the resin form to form the encoded particles in which the target material is included in the polymer.
