Abstract
Disclosed are materials and methods for detecting biomolecules in samples employing transponders having memory elements associated with particle(s) used as a solid phase in art assay, and information pertinent to the assay is encoded on the transponder memory elements. A dedicated read/write device is used remotely to encode or remotely to read the information encoded on the transponder memory elements. The invention can be used in direct or competitive ELISA-type assays, or in multiplex assays for the simultaneous assay of several analytes.
