Abstract
We developed a new microfluidic analysis system for multiple blood chemicals in a disposable microchip. A thermal lens detector with auto-focusing/alignment functions, a hydraulic flow control device and a microchip stage with a thermoelectric heater were integrated into a A4 size box. Hydraulic flow control device successfully controlled fluid flow in a microchip for parallel analysis of 3 blood chemicals. Quantitative measurement of Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglyceride was achieved in this system. Copyright © 2005 by the Transducer Research Foundation, Inc.
