Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A centrifugal micro-fluidic device detecting analytes in a liquid specimen and a method of detection of analytes from a liquid specimen using the micro-fluidic device are provided. Reaction efficiency is increased using a repetitive flow of the liquid specimen induced by an alternating combination of capillary force and centrifugal force, thereby enhancing detection sensitivity.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A centrifugal micro-fluidic device comprising: at least one micro-fluidic structure comprising a chamber and at least one channel connected with the chamber; and a detection unit, wherein the chamber comprises a reaction chamber in which a detectable signal generator is combined with an analyte of a liquid specimen to create a detectable signal generator-analyte complex, and an analysis chamber located downstream from the reaction chamber, wherein the…
