Abstract:
1. A kit for detecting the presence or absence of one or more target compounds, the kit comprising: a plurality of electrophoretic probes each comprising target-binding moiety specific for a target compound, each target-binding moiety having one or more eTag reporters attached thereto by cleavable linkages such that upon cleavage of the cleavable linkages the eTag reporters from different electrophoretic probes form distinct peaks upon electrophoretic separation; and a second reagent for each of the one or more target compounds, each second reagent binding to one of said one or more target compounds, and each second reagent being capable of generating an active species to cleave cleavable linkages of electrophoretic probes that bind to the same target compound as said second reagent, the active species being selected from the group consisting of singlet oxygen, hydrogen peroxide, NADH, and hydroxyl radicals.
