Abstract:
A microfluidic apparatus mounted on a rotation driving unit for inducing a fluid to flow due to a centrifugal force includes: a target chamber that houses a first fluid; a first chamber that houses a second fluid and is disposed closer to a rotation center of the microfluidic apparatus in a radius direction than the target chamber, the first chamber being connected to the target chamber by a first channel; a first valve that prevents a flow of the second fluid through the first channel; and a second chamber disposed closer to the rotation center in the radius direction than the target chamber and connected to the target chamber by a second channel, wherein the first fluid is transported to the second chamber by supplying the second fluid to the target chamber by the centrifugal force.
Abstract:
A microfluidic apparatus that is mounted on a rotation driver and induces a flow of a fluid according to a centrifugal force includes a lower structure having a microfluidic structure including a recovery chamber for accommodating a target material separated from a sample and a channel for forming an inflow path of the target material to the recovery chamber; an upper plate forming an upper wall of the recovery chamber and the channel; and a lid formed integrally to the upper plate and removable from the upper plate to open at least a part of a top of the recovery chamber.
