2-in-1 biochip

Abstract

This invention relates to the Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) Biochip. This chip uses the technology of CE combined with conductivity detection to determine: blood Electrolytes (EL) of K3 Na, Ca & Li using “EL Biochip” and to monitor water quality using “L Biochip”. Our in use technology enables to develop a small chip, reliable, easy to use, inexpensive and capable for rapid whole blood testing anywhere. Once this technique is developed, a generic system is obtained, and multitude of ions can be tested at once on the same device. Our chips are using same hardware (layout) and can be optimized to test other ions. The “2-in-1 Biochip” is a multi application versatile system, having two chips : “EL Biochip” : a point-of-care blood analysis chip, for diagnosis & therapeutic follow-up. “L-Biochip”: an on-site environmental monitoring liquids chip, to monitor water quality & guarding against water born diseases outbreaks.
