MICROCHAMBER ARRAY DEVICE HAVING ELECTRICAL FUNCTION AND INSPECTION OBJECT ANALYSIS METHOD USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a microchamber array device having an electrical function capable of analyzing an inspection object by means of a simple device in which electrodes used for inspection object manipulation (DEP and EP) are integrated in a single device microwell used for partitioning and by means of a method using the device; and an inspection object analysis method using the microchamber array device.

SOLUTION: The microchamber array device having an electrical function includes: a microwell array 4 which includes counter electrodes 2 formed on a substrate 1, comprises microwells 3 having the electrodes 2 formed on the bottoms thereof, and is used to trap cells 8 using DEP and crush the cells 8 using EP; a microfluid channel 5 to introduce a solution containing the cells 8 or a solution 9 for biochemical analysis of cell components; and a film 6 which hermetically seals the microwells 3 before the cells 8 are crushed, in order to confine a cell material in the limited volumes of the microwells 3.
