Bio memory disc and bio memory disc drive apparatus, and assay method using the same

摘要

The present invention provides a bio memory disc where a lab-on-a-chip process system including an assay-diagnosis unit, a nucleic acid hybridization assay unit, or an immuno-assay unit and a semiconductor memory is disposed, a bio memory disc drive apparatus including a controller for controlling and driving an optical disc including CD or DVD and the bio memory disc and an assay method using the same.

主权项

1. A bio memory disc drive apparatus comprising:
a bio memory disc performing a lab-on-a-chip process,wherein the bio memory disc that performs the lab-on-a-chip process includes:
a sample inlet; a chamber for containing a buffer solution or a reaction solution; an assay site comprising one of a porous membrane and a strip, wherein bio materials are fixed to the strip; a channel through which a fluid flows between the chamber and the assay site; and a detecting unit to read out the porous membrane or the strip; a movable permanent magnet disposed under the bio memory disc; an optical alignment unit allowing the search of the assay site, wherein the optical alignment unit comprises a permanent magnet disposed on the bio memory disc and the optical alignment is made between the detecting unit and the assay site when an attractive force is formed between the movable permanent magnet and the permanent magnet; a slider on which the movable permanent magnet is mounted; and a slider motor to control movement of the slider.
