We offer
  (1) Standard BMB for physical adsorption, and
  (2) Carboxyl BMB for covalent attachment.

Carboxyl beads permit probes and specific primers to bind the bead surface covalently via NH₂-modified 5' termini. All these beads enable attachment of proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and other ligands in a highly multiplexed format with the characteristics of high stability and low nonspecific binding. This simple and flexible immobilization chemistry enables rapid assay development for a variety of applications.

Barcoded magnetic beads are formed by doping biocompatible polymer with paramagnetic material. Biocompatible polymer enables highly stable surface chemistry; paramagnetic material exhibits magnetic properties when an external magnetic field is applied, allowing for easy washing and separation. Each 70 x 25 x 6 µm bead contains one of 128 or 4,096 possible digital barcodes that can be readily identified through bright field imaging.

A diverse range of bioassay applications can be explored using BMB with the BioCode-1000A Analyzer or BioCode-HP Analyzer. In microplate assays, each microwell is capable of holding hundreds of BMB. Numerous beads with different barcodes may be placed in each well for multiplex testing. BMB are packaged in 2-ml tubes that each contains a unique bead code.
