    摘要: Provided is a microchip unit, including a microchip on which a plurality of micro-channels are formed, a housing disposed below the microchip to fix the microchip; and at least two injecting and sealing elements having through-holes corresponding to inlets of the microchip. The injecting and sealing elements are vertically fixed on the top of the housing and slide in a horizontal direction from a first location to a second location and vice versa. The through-holes are aligned with inlets of the microchip so that a reaction solution can be injected through the through-holes when the injecting and sealing elements are placed at the first location. The inlets of the microchip are sealed by elastic members formed on bottom surfaces of the injecting and sealing elements when the injecting and sealing elements are placed at the second location.
