Abstract

Disclosed are compositions and methods for sensitive detection of one or multiple analytes. The methods utilize special label components, referred to as reporter signals, that can be associated with, incorporated into, or otherwise linked to the analytes. The reporter signals can be altered such that the altered forms of different reporter signals can be distinguished from each other. Sets of reporter signals can be used where two or more of the reporter signals in a set have one or more common properties that allow the reporter signals having the common property to be distinguished and/or separated from other molecules lacking the common property. The reporter signal signals can be bound by the same specific binding molecule. Reporter signals can also be in conjunction with analytes, where no significant physical association between the reporter signals and analytes occurs; or alone, where no analyte is present.
