Abstract:
A nucleic acid sequencing device includes at least one nanochannel, a first electrode and a second electrode disposed at opposite ends of the nanochannel for applying a voltage in the lengthwise direction of the nanochannel, and a first detector that detects a location signal of a target nucleic acid passing through the nanochannel and a second detector that detects a signal from a detectable label bound to the target nucleic acid.
Abstract:
A microfluidic device includes at least one first channel and at least one second channel or chamber which is connected to the first channel via a nanopore in a fluid communication manner, and a method of determining a nucleotide sequence of a target nucleic acid by using the same. Accordingly, the nucleotide sequence of the target nucleic acid may be efficiently determined.
Abstract:
An apparatus for focusing a particle in a sheath flow, the apparatus comprising: a sheath fluid inlet for injecting a sheath fluid; a first flow channel for conveying a fluid, wherein the first flow channel extends from the sheath fluid inlet to the fluid outlet and is formed such that a channel extending from the sheath fluid inlet is divided into two subchannels that extend further and are then merged into one channel; and a second flow channel that extends from the sample fluid inlet to the sample fluid outlet, wherein the second flow channel is in fluid communication with the first flow channel at the merged channel region through the sample fluid outlet so as to introduce a particle in a sample into a sheath fluid conveyed through the first flow channel.
Abstract:
Provided are magnetic particles for nucleic acid sequencing and a method of sequencing nucleic acid using the same. The nucleotide sequence of a target nucleic acid may be efficiently determined using the magnetic particles and the method of sequencing nucleic acid using the same.
