A system device
and/or method for multiplex assays. In a particular but non
limiting example there is provided a multiplex array such as a
suspension array. Luminescence decay lifetimes are utilised for probes
in a suspension array and coding/decoding the codes from time resolved
spectra. Lifetime populations can be generated at distinct colour bands.
A novel temporal technique or dimension is applied over conventional
spectral and intensity combinations thereby expanding the multiplexing
capacity of a suspension array. In one example form the multiplexing
capacity of a suspension array can be expanded to the order of about 5.
This provides a reliable high throughput and relatively inexpensive
solution for multiplex assays in various areas of application such as
life sciences data storage and security.
