Micro-Droplet Bio-Chemical Diagnosis System
Introduction
Instead of adopting traditional stripe type tools that are not easy to get quantize testing data, this new system adopts a micro chip to mix the sample and reagent. The detection module can measure the absorbance directly from the chip to get an accurate data, can measure the concentration of samples, and can be used for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.
This system is particularly suitable for point-of-care application. Patients can get a real time testing which shortens the diagnosis time. A variety of applications such as food testing, drinking water testing, alcohol testing, anti-oxidation measurement, and cosmetic analysis are also possible.
(This chip is cooperative research result with professor Jing-Tang Yang.)
