Abstract:
1. A method for individually detecting a plurality of hemoglobin-containing analytes comprising HbA 1c and a hemoglobin variant, if present, in a single sample of blood cell lysate, said method comprising: (a) incubating said sample with a population of beads in a common mixture, said population comprising a subpopulation to detect HbA1c and one or more further subpopulations, each of which detects a hemoglobin variant, wherein: (b) with said analytes bound to the beads of said subpopulations, incubating said population with a labeled binding member that binds to all of said analytes, thereby labeling said analytes thus bound; and (c) detecting the labeled binding member that binds to all of said analytes and detecting classifier dyes from the subpopulations of beads and differentiating the labels of the subpopulations by fluorescent emissions, thereby individually detecting HbA1
