A facile polymer mediated dye incorporation method for fluorescence encoded microbeads with large encoding capacities

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 May 6;57(37):4548-4551. doi: 10.1039/d0cc08202c.

Abstract

Here we report a facile dye incorporation method for fluorescence encoded microbeads, which is achieved by tuning the mixed polymer type (blank and dye-labeled polymers) and their doping ratio through electrostatic loading into mesoporous beads. This method is universal to various carriers and could render large encoding capacities.
