Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A detection device includes a PCR processor for conducting a PCR process on a first drop to a fourth drop flowing in a flow channel, a boundary detector for detecting intensities of fluorescence outputted from the first drop to the fourth drop after the PCR process and acquiring boundaries between the first drop to the fourth drop flowing in a flow channel based on the intensities of fluorescence, and a detector for acquiring a number of the second drop and the fourth drop having an intensity of fluorescence greater than or equal to a first threshold based on the intensity of fluorescence and boundaries between the first drop to the fourth drop, and detecting whether or not the objective nucleic acid target includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a first nucleic acid target and a second nucleic acid target based on the number of the second drop and the fourth drop.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for detecting first nucleic acid targets and second nucleic acid targets using a microfluidic chip, the method comprising: (a) installing the microfluidic chip in a detection device, wherein the detection device comprises a PCR processor, a PCR reactor, a fluorescence detector, and a detect circuitry, the microfluidic chip comprises a first flow channel, a second flow channel, a third flow channel, a fourth flow channel, and a fifth flow channel…
