The present invention comprises detection probes utilizing vesicles or
soluble bodies to retain multiple mass tag molecules. The detection
probes may be used to simultaneously assay a plurality of different
biological samples, each comprising a plurality of analytes, by
immobilizing the analytes from each of the samples on a surface
incubating the surface with a set of the detection probes, each having
mass tag molecules with different masses, removing the unbound detection
probe, collecting the first and second mass tag molecules from the bound
detection probe, and quantifying the first and second mass tag molecules
collected.
