Biochip kits and methods of testing biological samples using the same

A method of testing a biological sample, comprising:

• providing a kit comprising a first housing, a biochip disposed inside the first housing and configured to comprise a plurality of molecular probes, and a second housing joined to the first housing and configured to form a reaction space with the first housing and to cover the biochip, wherein the first housing and the second housing are removably joined;
• conducting a coupling reaction of the biological sample with the molecular probes by introducing the biological sample to the reaction space;
• separating the first and second housings to expose an upper surface of the biochip;
• and
• testing the binding of the molecular probes to the biological sample by placing a detector in close proximity to the exposed biochip to allow detection of said binding.

A method of testing a biological sample, comprising:

• providing a biochip that is disposed inside a reaction space and comprises a plurality of molecular probes;
• conducting a coupling reaction of the molecular probes with the biological sample by introducing the biological sample into the reaction space;
• exposing the biochip by disrupting the reaction space;
• and
• testing the binding of the molecular probes to the biological sample by placing a detector in close proximity to the exposed biochip.

A method of testing a biological sample, comprising:

• loading a plurality of biochip kits into an automatic deck, wherein each biochip kit comprises (i) a first housing, (ii) a biochip disposed inside the first housing and having a plurality of molecular probes that have undergone a coupling reaction, and (iii) a second housing joined to the first housing configured to form a reaction space and to cover the biochip;
• actuating the automatic deck to grip the second housing of each of the biochip kits;
• actuating a conveying chuck to move toward the automatic deck and grip the first housing of an nth biochip kit, wherein n is an integer of 1 or more;
• separating the first and second housings of the nth biochip kit gripped by the automatic deck by actuating the conveying chuck gripping the first housing of the nth biochip kit;
• and
• testing the biochip disposed inside the first housing of the nth biochip kit by conveying the first housing of the separated nth biochip kit to a detector.
