DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INDIRECT ELECTRONIC CONDITION CONTROL IN BIOMOLECULE DETECTION PLATFORMS

摘要

A system and method of indirectly modifying an environmental condition at a test site in one embodiment includes providing a test site on a substrate, providing a hydrogel composition loaded with a chemical factor at the test site, providing an actuator configured to activate the hydrogel composition to release a chemical factor at the test site, controlling the actuator to activate the hydrogel composition to release a chemical factor at the test site, and modifying the local chemical environment at the test site with the chemical factor.
