Abstract:
The present invention provides a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) unit having at least one microfluidic channel with grating structures embedded in so that a grating-coupled surface plasmon resonance can be induced by an incident light while fluid in the microfluidic channel contacts or flows through the grating area. The induced variation of optical signal due to the SPR effect is analyzed for performing bio-screening and assay of bioaffinity reaction. Meanwhile, present invention further provides an SPR inspection system possessing a rotation power to the SPR unit such that the SPR unit is capable of rotating and thereby generating a centrifugal force for driving the flow inside the microfluidic channels so as to achieve the label-free and high throughput SPR inspection system with low-cost.

Abstract:
A liquid transporting device using electrowetting on dielectric technique is provided. A sampling liquid is accurately transported on a substrate in a channel-free manner. The sampling liquid is spun off the substrate by a centrifugal force after the sampling liquid has been detected. The liquid transporting device can be applied to a biochemical detecting apparatus and a biochemical detecting method, thereby fulfilling requirements of accurate sample transportation in the biomedical field. The liquid transporting device is simplified to reduce overall costs, thus being helpful for decreasing high prices of biomedical detecting systems.
Abstract:
An optical inspection apparatus capable of adjusting an incident angle of a detected light beam and adjusting a detecting angle for detecting the detected light beam. A driving mechanism is used to actuate two arms having a light source and a detector disposed thereon respectively to conduct a relative movement between the two arms so as to control the incident angle and the detecting angle. By means of the embodiments, mechanism for adjusting the angle is simplified so that the apparatus is capable of being adapted to combine with the application of micro sensors such that practicality of modularization design and microminiaturization and convenience of operation are capable of being greatly improved and that the cost can be reduced.
