Abstract

Provided are methods and systems useful for screening large libraries of effector molecules. Such methods and systems are particularly useful in microfluidic systems and devices. The methods and systems provided herein utilize encoded effectors to screen large libraries of effectors.

IPC Classes  ?

• A61K 47/64 - Drug-peptide, drug-protein or drug-polyamino acid conjugates, i.e. the modifying agent being a peptide, protein or polyamino acid which is covalently bonded or complexed to a therapeutically active agent
• C12Q 1/68 - Measuring or testing processes involving enzymes, nucleic acids or microorganisms; Compositions therefor; Processes of preparing such compositions involving nucleic acids
• C12Q 1/6844 - Nucleic acid amplification reactions
• C12Q 1/6876 - Nucleic acid products used in the analysis of nucleic acids, e.g. primers or probes
• C40B 20/04 - Identifying library members by means of a tag, label, or other readable or detectable entity associated with the library members, e.g. decoding processes
• C40B 30/04 - Methods of screening libraries by measuring the ability to specifically bind a target molecule, e.g. antibody-antigen binding, receptor-ligand binding
