Abstract
In this paper, a microfluidic array biochip for simultaneously detecting multiple antigen-antibody bindings was designed and implemented. The biochip has the single channel in which microreaction chambers are serially connected, and the antibody-coated microbeads are packed in each microreaction chamber. In addition, the weir structure was fabricated in the microchannel using the gray-scale photolithography in order to trap the microbeads in the microreaction chamber. Three kinds of antibodies were chosen, and the antibodies were immobilized onto the microbeads by the streptavidin-biotin conjugation. In the experiment, as the fluorescence-labeled antigens were injected into the microchannel, the antigen-antibody bindings were completed in 10 minutes. When the solution with multiple antigens was injected into the microchannel, it was observed that the fluorescence intensity increased in only the corresponding microreaction chambers with few non-specific binding. The microfluidic array biochip implemented in this study provides, even with the consumption of tiny amount of sample and fast reaction time to simultaneously detect multiple immunoreactions.
