Abstract:
1. A system for detecting one or more properties of each of a plurality of analytes, the system comprising: a first set of analyte-interaction nucleic acid moieties capable of reacting with the plurality of analytes under assay reaction conditions, each analyte-interaction nucleic acid moiety having a synthesis tag comprising a concatenation of words; conversion reagents for converting each synthesis tag into a hybridization tag and for releasing the hybridization tag from the analyte-interaction nucleic acid moieties, wherein the hybridization tag comprises one or more words determined by a corresponding synthesis tag, each word of the hybridization tag being longer than each word of its corresponding synthesis tag; and a solid phase detection array for detecting the released hybridization tags, thereby detecting the one or more properties of each of the plurality of analytes.
