Abstract:
1. A microfluidic device using a biomolecule microarray chip, the microfluidic device comprising: a platform which is rotatable; a microfluidic structure disposed in the platform, the microfluidic structure comprising: a plurality of chambers; at least one channel that connects the chambers to each other; and at least one valve that controls flow of fluids through the at least one channel, wherein the microfluidic structure controls flow of a fluid sample using rotation of the platform and the at least one valve; and a biomolecule microarray chip comprising biomolecule capture probes, forming an inner wall of one of the chambers and radially spaced from a rotation axis of the platform, the biomolecule microarray chip being mounted in the platform such that the biomolecule capture probes contact the fluid sample in the microfluidic structure.
