Abstract
The ability to quantify multiple proteins in parallel using a single sample allows researchers and clinicians to obtain wide and important information with minimal assay time, sample volume, and cost. Such multiplexed analysis is accompanied by several challenges, including molecular encoding and the need to retain assay sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility with the use of complex mixtures. In this talk, we present a method based on the electromagnetic surface enhancement of optically encoded nanostructures that combines NP assembly, encoding and probe incorporation into a single process which allow a simultaneous multiplexed protein scan and detection with high sensitivity
