    Abstract: Surface chemistries for the visualization of labeled single molecules (analytes) with improved signal-to-noise properties are provided. To be observed, analyte molecules are bound to surface attachment features that are spaced apart on the surface such that when the analytes are labeled adjacent analytes are optically resolvable from each other. One way to express this concept is that binding elements should be spaced apart such that the Guassian point spread functions of adjacent labels do not overlap. Another way of expressing this concept is that the surface binding elements should be spaced apart by a distance equal to at least the diffraction limit for an optical label attached to the bound analytes.

    Abstract: An apparatus for imaging one or more selected fluorescence indications from a microfluidic device. The apparatus includes an imaging path coupled to least one chamber in at least one microfluidic device. The imaging path provides for transmission of one or more fluorescent emission signals derived from one or more samples in the at least one chamber of the at least one microfluidic device. The chamber has a chamber size, the chamber size being characterized by an actual spatial dimension normal to the imaging path. The apparatus also includes an optical lens system coupled to the imaging path. The optical lens system is adapted to transmit the one or more fluorescent signals associated with the chamber.

    Abstract: The present invention provides assay methods that increase the number of samples and/or target nucleic acids that can be analyzed in a single assay. In certain embodiments, an assay method entails separately subjecting S samples to an encoding reaction that produces a set of T tagged target nucleotide sequences, each tagged target nucleotide sequence including a sample-specific nucleotide tag and a target nucleotide sequence. In some embodiments, an assay method entails separately subjecting S samples to an encoding reaction that produces a set of T tagged target nucleotide sequences, each tagged target nucleotide sequence including a first nucleotide tag linked to a target nucleotide sequence, which is linked to a second nucleotide tag. In either case, the tagged target nucleotide sequences from the S samples can be mixed to form an assay mixture and subsequently assayed.
