Does anyone know of a company that could supply magnetic beads
(preferentially) or polystyrene beads which have a multiple fluroescence in
the orange to deep red range and to which we could also bind strepavidin?? I
am looking to perform multiplex PCR and need to use the varying fluoresence on
the beads to discriminate among bead populations after binding the amplicons
to the beads.

I spoke recently with a salesrep for Luminex, a company that has this exact type of technology. 
Does anyone have the system ? Willing to let us know how its performing and whether you're satisfied 
with your purchase and support experience ?  Thanks,
