MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE FOR SIMULTANEOUS DETECTION OF MULTIPLE CONDITIONS IN A PATIENT

摘要

A microfluidic device for simultaneous detection of multiple conditions in a patient, the microfluidic device having an inlet for receiving a sample of biological material drawn from the patient, a microsystems technologies (MST) layer with a detection section having an array of hybridization chambers, the hybridization chambers comprising probes for detecting target molecules, the target molecules being indicative of medical conditions in the patient, and a photodetection section for detecting the probe-target complexes, wherein the photodetection section comprises a plurality of photodiodes such that each hybridization chamber has a corresponding photodiode.
