Abstract:A new diagnostic testing device is proposed for point of care (POC) applications. It consists of a microfluidic cartridge with a polymer biochip and an instrument for reading the biochip and controlling the microfluidics. This system allows a very easy determination of several parameters e.g. in patients blood automatically. The biochip is made of a thin polymer foil serving as waveguiding element and as carrier for the receptors on the biochip surface. A sensitive TIRF (total internal reflection fluorescence)… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
