Abstract:
Provided herein is a fluid sensor, which includes a closed reaction unit in which reaction of a fluid sample takes place. The reaction unit is tapered on a side through which the fluid is injected so as to prevent generation of air bubbles during the injection of the fluid. Thus, the sensor has improved sensitivity.
Abstract:
A method of designing probes for detecting a target sequence and a method of detecting the target sequence using the probes are provided. The method of designing probes for detecting target sequence includes: selecting an anchoring location in the target sequence; selecting a first probe designing region; selecting a matched probe; and selecting a mismatched probe.
Abstract:
Provided is a rotatable disc-shaped microfluidic device which can electrochemically detect electrolytes comprised in a specimen. The microfluidic device including: a specimen chamber which accommodates a specimen; a detection chamber which receives the specimen from the specimen chamber; and an ion sensor which is formed in the detection chamber to electrochemically detect electrolytes in the specimen and includes an indicator electrode, a standard electrode and an ion selective film formed on a portion of the indicator electrode.
