Perturbation beads for use in assays

Abstract

Disclosed are uniquely labeled perturbation beads used alone or in combination with a capture bead. These perturbation beads are useful in drug discovery especially in assays conducted in a mapped assay device. Such a uniquely labeled perturbation bead, when used in an examination area of a mapped assay device, allows for correlating the sequence of nucleic acids and other components from a lysed cell to the specific examination area where the nucleic acid was retrieved.
