A microfluidic multiple bio-analysis platform based on the enzyme-immobilized barcoded strip

In this paper, we report a novel technique for the manufacture of polymeric bar-coded strips having diverse characteristics such as sensing with biocatalysts using a microfluidic platform and 'on the fly' photopolymerization. This method is a very simple, cost-effective means for mass production, and diverse materials sensitive to hazardous environments such as enzymes, DNA, or antigens are expected to be immobilized stably, as the fabrication process does not need any hazardous environments. On the basis of this technology, we fabricated enzyme-immobilized barcoded strip for multiple bio-analysis.
