Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided a microdevice capable of performing analysis quickly and at a high level of sensitivity even when a minute amount of sample solution is used. The microdevice is equipped with a rotation board, a reaction field provided on the rotation board, and an introduction portion for introducing a solution into the reaction field. The microdevice is characterized in that the following angle is always 45 to 90°: an angle of a part of a wall surface of the reaction field where the centrifugal force has the greatest effect with respect to the direction of the centrifugal force generated when the rotation board is rotated.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A microdevice comprising: a rotation board configured to rotate about a center of rotation; a reaction field provided on the rotation board, the reaction field having a farthest wall part from the center of rotation and a center-of-rotation-side wall part located inwardly from the farthest wall part along an imaginary line representing a direction of centrifugal force generated when the rotation board is rotated about the center of rotation; and an intro…
