Abstract

Allergy Diagnosis Microarray Microfluidics Multiplex detection Electrical and Electronic Engineering Mechanical Engineering Electronic Optical and Magnetic Materials Instrumentation
This study reported an integrated microfluidic system for automating multiplex detection of allergy microarrays. Allergy has become a common disease worldwide. However, detection for allergy on microarrays requires tedious manual operation, well-Trained technicians and a relatively labor-intensive process. In this study, an integrated microfluidic system combining the microfluidic techniques and the microarray chips was developed to advance the detection of allergy. Experimental results showed that it could be realized within a shorter period of time (from 2 hours to 70 min) while implemented on integrated microfluidic system. The development of the automatic microsystem could increase the applicability of allergy microarray chips.
