Abstract
Provided, among other things, is a multiplex assay comprising: conducting a fluorescence-developing assay on microtabs having at least one surface that shows plasmonic enhancement, wherein a plurality of the microtabs have unique probes affixed to their plasmonically enhanced surfaces; and measuring the fluorescence associated with the substrates and identifying the correlated probe by for the microtab. The microtabs can be, for example, MTPs that send a unique identifier, and the correlated probe can be identified by querying the MTPs for their identifier.
