Realization of integration of microanalysis chips - EurekAlert


A research group supervised by Assistant Professor Shunya Okamoto of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology, and another supervised by Associate Professor Yoshiaki Ukita of the Graduate Faculty of Interdisciplinary Research, Faculty of Engineering, University of Yamanashi, established a microfluidic control technology that can be applied to small blood testing devices and consequently developed a novel integrated immunoassay device. This microfluidic control technology is expected to address cost issues—one of the limitations to the social implementation of microfluidic chips—and realize a convenient blood testing device. The results of this study were published online in a specialized journal published by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC Advances) on April 26th.
