LOC DEVICE FOR GENETIC ANALYSIS WHICH PERFORMS NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION AFTER SAMPLE PREPARATION IN A DIALYSIS SECTION

摘要

A lab-on-a-chip (LOC) device for genetic analysis of a biological sample, the LOC device having an inlet for receiving the sample, a supporting substrate, a dialysis section for separating small constituents from larger constituents in the sample, a plurality of reagent reservoirs, a nucleic acid amplification section downstream of the dialysis section for amplifying nucleic acid sequences in the sample, wherein, the dialysis section and the nucleic acid amplification section are both supported on the supporting substrate.
