Abstract

In the research of proteomics, mass spectrometry analysis is the essential method for identification of the unknown proteins. Trypsin treatment for the sample preparation of mass spectrometry is the inevitable procedure[1]. However, sample preparation procedure is cumbersome and time consuming. To resolve these problems, Temperature controllable microreactor was designed and fabricated. It consists of metering chamber, micro channel, reaction chamber, platinum (Pt) thin film heater and a temperature sensor so that micro metering and mixture of reagent with temperature control can be done on the same chip. The total size of the fabricated microreactor was $37{\times}30{\times}1\;mm^3$ and the size of channel cross section was $200{\times}100{\mu}m^2$. PID temperature controller was realized using NI DAQ, PCI-MIO-l6E-1 board and LabVIEW program.
