Embodiment Construction

[0049]The present invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown. Like reference numerals in the drawings denote like elements, and thus their description will not be repeated. The shapes of chambers and channels may be simplified, and the ratio of their sizes may be increased or reduced as compared to reality. In the expressions such as a microarray chip, a microfluidic device, and a micro-particle, ‘micro-’ is just used having the opposite meaning to ‘macro-’ and should not be construed as being limiting the sizes of these elements.

[0050]The term ‘microfluidic structure’ employed in the present specification does not indicate a particularly shaped structure but indicates a microstructure comprising a plurality of chambers, channels, and valves, which accommodates a fluid and controls of the flow of the fluid. Thus, the ‘microfluidic structure’ may constitute units which perform diffe...

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.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS[0001]This is Continuation of application Ser. No. 12 / 128,981 filed May 29, 2008, which claims the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2007-0054628, filed on Jun. 4, 2007, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a rotatable microfluidic device, and more particularly, to a rotatable microfluidic device in which multiple analysis of a biological sample can be simultaneously conducted.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]A microfluidic structure that performs an independent function in a microfluidic device generally includes chambers that can contain a fluid, channels through which a fluid can flow, and valves that can control the flow of fluid, and can be configured by various combinations of the chambers, the channels, and the valves. An apparatus ...
