diode (APD) detectors measure the excitation emission intensities of
the color coding classification dye mixtures inside the microspheres
and a photomultiplier tube detects the excitation emission intensity
of the reporter dye bound to the surface of the microspheres. High
speed digital signal processors (DSP) and advanced computer
algorithms provide analysis of the microspheres as they are
processed through the Luminex 100E analyzer.
