Abstract

Methods and systems for time-domain and wavelength domain resolved multiplexed time-resolved fluorescence of a sample having at least one of a first fluorescent label bound to a first analyte and a second fluorescent label bound to a second analyte. The sample also includes a third fluorescent label bound to a third analyte and a fourth fluorescent label bound to a fourth analyte. The first and second fluorescent labels emit wavelengths having a first and second lifetime. The third fluorescent label comprises an upconverting phosphor (UCP) emitting at a wavelength having a third lifetime, and the fourth fluorescent label comprises an infrared dye emitting at wavelength having a fourth lifetime. The methods and systems measure as a function of time intensities of at least one of more of the first, second, third, and fourth fluorescent labels.
