Abstract

Biochip, which implements bioanalytical process on a tiny surface, is one of candidates for medical diagnosis, drug screening, and molecular sensing. In general, a type of biochip based on microfluidics is composed of microcomponents including microchannel, pump, and valve, which require complicated processes. In this study, gray-scale photolithography(GSPL) was applied to fabricate a biochip with multiple layers. A mould for casting PDMS(polydimethylsiloxane) channel, was fabricated using GSPL. A gray-photomask was prepared by printing gray patterns on a high-quality glossy paper followed by photoreducing by 10:1 onto the photo-film. The formation of multiple layers was studied according to the change of gray level of pattern and the developing time. A biochip composed of a weir(multiple layer structure) and a reaction chamber in a single microchannel was fabricated in a glass plate. Finally, we investigated the application of biochip to antigen-antibody reaction by packing the microbead coated with antibody.
