CENTRIFUGAL FORCE-BASED FLUID LOADING DEVICE FOR CHIP-SHAPED MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE

摘要

A centrifugal force-based fluid loading device with a simple structure is provided to load a fluidic sample to a microfluidic chip at a proper drive pressure using a centrifugal force. A centrifugal force-based fluid loading device includes: a fluid storage part(21) to store a fluidic sample to be loaded into a microfluidic chip(10); a loading part(20) having a chip receiving part to accommodate a part of the microfluidic chip, such as a portion including an injection port(14); and a support part(30) having a support formed in a manner to support the other part of the microfluidic chip. The chip receiving part has an exit(24) of the fluid storage part. The microfluidic chip has an outlet(15) on the opposite side of the injection port to make a fluid flow from the injection port to the outlet, and the support part has a discharged fluid storage(31) to keep the discharged fluid from the outlet.
