A patented microfluidic device that performs rapid, multi-parameter medical diagnostics on a single chip.
Long Description
The patented microfluidic device is a lab-on-a-chip technology that integrates multiple laboratory functions on a single microfluidic chip, enabling rapid and simultaneous analysis of various medical parameters. The device consists of a network of microchannels, chambers, and valves that are precisely fabricated on a substrate material, typically glass, silicon, or polymer.The microfluidic chip is designed to receive a small sample of biological fluid, such as blood, urine, or saliva, which is then processed and analyzed through a series of complex biochemical reactions and physical interactions. The chip incorporates various modules, including sample preparation, separation, detection, and analysis, which work in tandem to provide a comprehensive diagnostic profile.The sample preparation module includes features such as filtration, centrifugation, and mixing, which are used to isolate and process the target analytes. The separation module employs techniques such as chromatography, electrophoresis, or microfluidic sieving to separate the analytes based on their physical and chemical properties. The detection module utilizes various sensing technologies, including optical, electrochemical, or mass spectrometry-based detection, to identify and quantify the separated analytes.The device also incorporates advanced fluidic control systems, including micropumps, valves, and switches, which are used to manage the flow of fluids and reagents through the chip. These control systems are typically actuated by external instruments, such as pneumatic or electrical controllers, which provide precise control over the fluidic processes. The entire system is designed to be compact, portable, and user-friendly, allowing for point-of-care or near-patient testing in a variety of clinical settings.The patented microfluidic device has the potential to revolutionize the field of medical diagnostics by providing rapid, accurate, and cost-effective analysis of multiple medical parameters on a single chip. The device can be used for a wide range of applications, including infectious disease diagnosis, cancer screening, and monitoring of chronic diseases. The technology has the potential to improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance the overall quality of life for patients worldwide.
