Abstract:
A method for amplifying a nucleic acid amplification in the presence of an ionic liquid that suppresses an inhibitor of nucleic acid amplification, particularly when in a biological material, and a composition useful for performing the method.
Abstract:
A micro-device for disrupting cells includes a first chamber in which the cells are disrupted, a second chamber which is pressurized and depressurized, a flexible membrane which separates the first chamber and the second chamber and is vibrated by pressuring and depressurizing the second chamber, and a micro-unit confined in the first chamber, where the micro-unit disrupts the cells in the first chamber
Abstract:
A microfluidic device comprising a first substrate including a micro-flow path and a valve seat protruding into the micro-flow path, a second substrate coupled to the first substrate and including a cavity aligned with the valve seat, and a valve gate film provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, such that the valve gate film opens and closes the micro-flow path with air pressure applied to the cavity, wherein a surface of the valve seat is separated from the valve gate film at the initial stage such that the micro-flow path is opened at the initial stage, and the valve gate film moves to be in contact with the surface of the valve seat so that the micro-flow path is closed when air pressure is applied to the cavity.
Abstract:
A reagent supply device includes a plurality of chambers which are separated from each other such that different reagents may be injected, the plurality of chambers having bottom surfaces made of a membrane, the membrane comprising a destruction pattern which is formed at a position corresponding to each of the plurality of chambers and breachable by an external impact to discharge the injected reagent from the chamber.
