Abstract
The present invention is directed to a novel method to multiplex long lifetime fluorescent dyes using time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) detection. A combination of spectral and temporal differences in fluorescence emission is used to enhance the ability to separate signals in an assay from multiple dyes. Multiplexed TRF detection apparatuses and systems configured for performing all or part of any of the methods disclosed herein are also provided, particularly apparatuses and systems incorporating cartridge-based multi-mode readers.
