In this paper, the PDMS based micromixer having 3-dimension triangular structure has been developed for the reaction of samples in the micro volume. The mixing efficiency was measured according to the change of Reynolds number (Re: 0.08, 0.8, 8, 16) and channel height (100, 200, $300{\mu}m$). Total length of mixing region is 7.4 mm and the measured mixing efficiencies at the outlet were over 85 %. Within the mixing length 2.4 mm, the mixing efficiencies were more than 70 % at any Reynolds numbers, and this indicates the strong mixing has occurred inside the mixing channel due the triangular structures. By employing these 2 mixers, we have fabricated the microreactor to detect the glucose-catalysts reaction. The microreactor showed good reactivity of glucose and enzymes with the small amount of sample solution.

Immunoassay is one of the important analytical methods for clinical diagnoses and biochemical studies, but needs a long time, troublesome procedures and expensive reagents. In this study, therefore, we propose the micro filter chip with microbeads for immunoassay, which has pillar structures. The advantage of the proposed micro filter chip is to use simple fabrication process and cheap materials. The mold was made by the photolithography technique with Si wafer and negative photoresist SU-8. The replica was made of PDMS, bonded on the pyrex glass. The micro filter chip consists of inlet channel, filter chamber and outlet channel. HBV (Hepatitius B virus) monoclonal antibody (Ag1) labeled with biotin were immobilized onto streptavidin coated beads of 30∼50 $\mu$m size. Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled HBV monoclonal antibody (Ag8) was used to detect HBsAg (Hebatitis B virus surface Antigen), and fluorescence intensity was monitored by epi-fluorescence microscope. In this study, the immune response of less than 30 min was obtained with with the use of 100 $m\ell$ of sample.

저가의 소자 개발이 가능한 나노임프린팅 공정을 도입하여 510 nm 주기의 브래그 격자 구조를 가지는 폴리머 광도파로 소자를 제작하였다. 폴리머 격자 광소자의 온도 의존성을 감소시키기 위한 방법으로 플라스틱 박막으로 이루어진 유연성 기판상에 브래그 격자를 제작하는 것이 필요하다. 임프린팅 공정을 손쉽게 수행하기 위한 광도파로 구조를 채택하였으며, 코아와 클래딩의 굴절률이 각각 1.540, 1.430인 폴리머를 이용하여 코아 두께가 $3{\mu}m$인 단일모드 광도파로 구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 유연성 기판 브래그 격자 광도파로 소자의 특성을 Si기판 브래그 격자 광도파로 소자와 비교하여 관측한 결과, 유연성 기판 도입에 따른 브래그 반사 소자의 성능 저하는 나타나지 않았다.
