Protein, nonconjugated with PS beads after labeling, does not emit the fluorescence but binds to the receptor specifically so that it impedes the specific binding between the ideally conjugated protein with PS beads and receptor, followed by decreasing the accuracy and reliability in the molecules' analyzing and tracking process (Figure 1(a)).
