PURPOSE: A microdevice for detecting pathogens is provided to detect a pathogen from clinical and environmental samples by sample-in-answer-out capability, and to be applied in biostability test, environmental screening, and clinical test with quick analysis. CONSTITUTION: A microdevice for detecting pathogens comprises: a passive micromixer, a magnetic separation chamber, and a capillary electrophoresis channel. The passive micromixer is used for mixing pathogens, a first probe, and a second probe. The magnetic separation chamber is connected to the passive micromixer. The capillary electrophoresis channel is connected to the magnetic separation chamber. The first probe contains an MMP(magnetic microparticle) probe. The second probe contains nanoparticles of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, copper, nickel, zinc, silicon oxide, or polystyrene.
