SOLID REAGENT DISSOLVING DEVICE AND METHOD OF DISSOLVING SOLID REAGENT USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A solid reagent dissolving device and a method of dissolving a solid reagent using the same are provided to increase reproducibility by completely dissolving the solid reagent. CONSTITUTION: A solid reagent dissolving device includes a flexible membrane (M1), an upper substrate (U1), and a lower substrate (L1). The upper substrate is arranged on the flexible membrane, and the lower substrate is arranged under the flexible membrane. A plurality of microchannels (C1,C2), a dissolution chamber (48), and protrusions (42,44) are arranged on the upper substrate. The dissolution chamber is in connection with the microchannels. The protrusions block the flow of fluid through the microchannels. A plurality of through holes is arranged on the lower substrate and respectively corresponds to the protrusions and the dissolution chamber. Each end of the through holes, the microchannels, and the dissolution chamber are covered with the flexible membrane. A method of dissolving a solid reagent includes the steps of: preparing a solid reagent (46) in the dissolution chamber; supplying a solid reagent dissolving solution to the dissolution chamber; and vibrating a dissolved solution.
