Abstract
Provided is a rotatable microfluidic device for conducting simultaneously two or more assays. The device includes a platform which can be rotated, a first unit which is disposed at one portion of the platform and detects a target material from a sample using surface on which a capture probe selectively binds to the target material is attached, and a second unit which is disposed at another portion of the platform and detects a target material included in the sample by a different reaction from the reaction conducted in the first unit.
Claims4
A microfluidic device for conducting two or more assays, the device comprising:
- a platform comprising:
- a sample chamber which is disposed at the platform, and is used for initially loading a sample;
- a first assay structure which is disposed at one location of the platform and includes a region in which a capture probe is arranged, the capture probe configured to detect a first target material in a sample via a protein reaction;
- and
- a second assay structure which is disposed at another location of the platform and includes a region in which a biochemical reagent is arranged, the biochemical reagent configured to detect a second target material in the sample via a biochemical reaction,
- wherein the platform has a rotation center and the sample is supplied from the sample chamber to the first assay structure and the second assay structure using centrifugal force due to rotation of the platform.
A microfluidic device for conducting two or more assays, the device comprising:
- a first assay structure which is disposed at one location of the device and is configured to detect a first target material in a sample by a first process;
- a second assay structure which is disposed at another location of the device and is configured to detect a second target material in the sample by a second process that is different from the first process;
- and
- a sample chamber configured to supply the sample to the first assay structure and the second assay structure using centrifugal force due to rotation of the device,
- wherein the first assay structure and the second assay structure each comprise a chamber and a channel connected to the chamber;
- and
- wherein the chamber of the first assay structure contains a surface to which a capture probe which selectively binds to the first target material is attached.
