A Generic Microfluidic System for Remote Sensors

Abstract

The objective of this project is to develop a generic MEMS-based microfluidic system for portable biochemical detection systems. To achieve this goal, an innovative generic MEMS-based microfluidic system has been designed, fabricated, and characterized, and successfully applied to a portable all in one biochemical detection system. The analytical concept is based on an immunoassay with electrochemical detection. Microbead technology is adopted for both sampling and detection to trap and manipulate the target. Through the project, a portable integrated biochemical detection system, which has sampling and detection capabilities, has been successfully developed and characterized for the sampling and detection of 50 ng/ml of antigen concentration in 20 minutes of total assay time.
