摘要:
Provided are methods of controlling a fluid flow in a microfluidic device and a microfluidic analysis apparatus. According to the method, an inclination of the microfluidic device with respect to a horizontal direction can be adjusted to simply and accurately control a fluid flow in the microfluidic device. Thus, a fluid conveyance can be completely controlled, and an inspection can be performed using only a small amount of sample. In addition, the method of controlling the fluid flow in the microfluidic device can be manually performed by a user. Thus, since a power is not required, the method of controlling the fluid flow in the microfluidic device can be economical and simple. The microfluidic analysis apparatus includes an inclination operation unit for causing an inclination change of a receiving part of the microfluidic device with respect to a horizontal plane and an inclination control part for controlling an operation of the inclination operation unit to simply and accurately control the fluid flow, thereby to accurately analyze the fluid.
