Abstract

Detecting minute trace of interferon-gamma and various bio-markers by using a single biochip was adopted as a platform to examine the technology advancements presented. As bio-detection faces the restriction that only very small quantity of specimen is available, ways to make the best use of the sample available are a must. Since samples concentration will affect the binding rate of an immunoassay, the testing order will become an influencing factor if multiple biomarkers testing situation are needed by using only a single trace of sample. More specifically, if we test disease A first and then detect disease B using the sample just been measured by testing disease A, we most likely will get different results if we reverse the testing order. With an attempt to examine and maybe resolve the issues mentioned above, a micro-fluid control system was developed. The design requirements not only ask for microfluidic control but also demand the system developed has the potential to be integrated within the biochip once its performance is verified. A piezo-vibrating system that can generate traveling waves for microfluidic control was chosen due to its versatility and large force to volume ratio. A simulation software COMSOL was adopted first to predict the microfluidic behavior of the two-mode excited piezo-microfluidic transport system. Secondly, fluorescent particles was used to analyze the microfluidic behavior of system fabricated based on the simulation. Finally, Electrochemistry Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) was implemented to verify the performance and extendibility of this newly developed system for multi-target detections.
