    摘要: The present invention generally relates to particles and, in particular, to methods of determining binding involving particles, e.g., using colorimetric and other signaling techniques. In one aspect, a mixture of particles of different colors (e.g., at least a first color and a second color) is provided that exhibits a first collective color, e.g., due to the presence of the different colors of particles within the mixture. The mixture can then be exposed to a medium containing a binding partner able to preferentially bind to some of the particles, e.g., particles of a first color relative to particles of a second color. The bound particles can be separated in some fashion (e.g., filtration, gravity, magnetism, centrifugal separation, etc.), such that the mixture exhibits a second collective color, e.g., due to the presence of a greater number of particles of the second color relative to the number of particles of the first color. Accordingly, by visualizing or otherwise determining a color change, a binding event may be determined. Other aspects of the invention relate to kits involving such particles, methods of promoting the making or use of such particles, or the like.

    摘要: The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for delivering and/or withdrawing a substance or substances such as blood or interstitial fluid, from subjects, e.g., from the skin and/or from beneath the skin. In one aspect, the present invention is generally directed to devices and methods for withdrawing or extracting blood from a subject, e.g., from the skin and/or from beneath the skin, using devices containing a fluid transporter (for example, one or more microneedles), and a storage chamber having an internal pressure less than atmospheric pressure prior to receiving blood. In some cases, the device may be self-contained, and in certain instances, the device can be applied to the skin, and activated to withdraw blood from the subject. The device, or a portion thereof, may then be processed to determine the blood and/or an analyte within the blood, alone or with an external apparatus.
