This paper presents a frequency-dependent cell impedance analysis chip for use in cancer and normal cell discrimination. The previous cell impedance analysis chips for flowing cells cannot allow enough time for cell-to-electrode contact to monitor frequency-dependent impedance response. Another type of the previous cell impedance analysis chips for the cells clamped by membranes need complex sample control for making stable cell-to-electrode contact. We present a new impedance analysis chip using the microchamber array, on which a PDMS cover is placed to make stable cell-to-electrode contact for the individual cell trapped in each microchamber; thus achieving frequency-dependent single-cell impedance analysis without complex sample control. Compared to the normal cells, the magnitude of NHBE cells is $60.07{\sim}97.41k{\Omega}$ higher than A549 cells in the frequency range of 95.6 kHz~2MHz and the phase of NHBE is $3.96^{\circ}{\sim}20.8^{\circ}$ higher than A549 cells in the frequency range of 4.37 kHz~2MHz, respectively. It is demonstrated experimentally that the impedance analysis chip performs frequency-dependent cell impedance analysis by making stable cell-to-electrode contact with simple sample control; thereby applicable to the normal cell and cancer cell discrimination.

Rubber composites were prepared by precured CIIR pulverized at knead shear force in order to research the effects of the BR/PCP composites. The particle size of domain in BR/CIIR composites was decreased and homogeneously dispersed by the precured CIIR pulverized. However, it was difficult to use the product when the content is 40 phr and precured of 40%. BR/PCP composites have improved mechanical properies as compared that of the addition of simply cut chip composite.

Microarrayer makes DNA chip and microarray that contain hundreds to thousands of immobilized DNA probes on surface of a microscope slide. This paper shows the development results for a printing type of microarrayer. It realizes a typical, low-cost and efficient microarrayer for generating low density microarray. The microarrayer is developed by using a robot of three-axes perpendicular type. It is composed of a computer-controlled three-axes robot and a pen tip assembly. The key component of the arrayer is the print-head containing the tips to immobilize cDNA, genomic DNA or similar biological material on glass surface. The robot is designed to automatically collect probes from two 96-well plates with up to 32 tips at the same time. To prove the performance of the developed microarrayer, the general water types of inks such as black, blue and red. The inks are distributed at proper positions of 96 well plates and the three color inks are immobilized on the slide glass under the operation procedure. As the result of the test, it can be shown that it has sufficient performance for the production of low integrated DNA chip consisted of 96 spots within 1 $cm^2$ area.

This paper describes the development of the sensor interface and driver program for a point of care (POC) device. The proposed pac device comprises an ARM9 embedded processor and eight-channel sensor input to measure various bio-signals. It features a user-friendly interface using a full-color TFT-LCD and touch-screen, and a bluetooth wireless communication module. The proposed device is based on the system on a programmable chip (SOPC). We use Altera's Excalibur device, which has an ARM9 and FPGA area on a chip, as a test bed for the development of interface hardware and driver software.

Wood chip을 support로 충전한 관형발효조에 Saccharomyces formosensis 효모용액을 통과시켜 고정화한 관형발효조에서 연속 발효실험을 수행한 결과 wood chip은 support로서 높은 효모 고정화율을 나타내었다. 관형발효조에서 발효실험시 유량 및 농도의 변화시 정상상태에 도달하는데 약 60시간 소요되었고, 정상상태에서 ethanol수율은 0.473-0.483로서 회분식 발효조 경우보다 높은 값을 나타냈다. 정상상태에서 ethanol생산성 (공간체적 기준)은 ethanol농도 61.4-65.7 g/l 범위에서 24.4-19.1g EtOH/$\ell$.hr를 나타내어 다른 고정화법에 의한 것과 비슷하게 높았다. 관형발효조에서 410시간 연속 발효운전시 오염현상이 없었고 효모생존율은 88-93%로 유지되었다.

Neuron-on-a-Chip technology is based on advanced neuronal culture technique, surface micropatterning, microelectrode array technology, and multi-dimensional data analysis techniques. The combination of these techniques allowed us to design and analyze live biological neural networks in vitro using real neurons. In this review article, two underlying technologies are reviewed: Microelectrode array technology and Neuronal patterning technology. There are new opportunities in the fusion of these technologies to apply them in neurobiology, neuroscience, neural prostheses, and cell-based biosensor areas.

We present the experimental study to realize a DNA separation chip using asymmetrically-switched nonuniform electric fields. The DNA separation chip redistributes DNA molecules within a specific area based on the size- and field-dependent nonlinearity of DNA drift velocity. The present chip is composed of a width variable channel to distribute nonuniform electric field, a DNA loading slit and a pair of electrodes to apply electric field. We focus on the design of DNA separation chips with identifying the nonlinearity of DNA drift velocity using three different DNA molecules (11.1kbp, 15.6kbp, and 48.5kbp) in the chips. It is demonstrated that different size of DNA shows different net migration in different direction under the asymmetrically-switched nonuniform electric field.

The CSVM(Current Support Vector Machine) that is a digital architecture performing all phases of recognition process including kernel computing, learning, and recall of SVM(Support Vector Machine) on a chip is proposed. Concurrent operation by parallel architecture of elements generates high speed and throughput. The classification problems of bio data having high dimension are solved fast and easily using the CSVM. Quadratic programming in original SVM learning algorithm is not suitable for hardware implementation, due to its complexity and large memory consumption. Hardware-friendly SVM learning algorithms, kernel adatron and kernel perceptron, are embedded on a chip. Experiments on fixed-point algorithm having quantization error are performed and their results are compared with floating-point algorithm. CSVM implemented on FPGA chip generates fast and accurate results on high dimensional cancer data.

격자 구조형 스트립 방향성 결합기를 기반으로 한 고 민감도 굴절률 bio-sensor를 제안하였다. 그 센서는 도파관 중 하나의 상단 층에 격자 구조가 구성된, 두 개의 비대칭 스트립 도파관을 사용하여 설계하였다. 위상정합 조건을 만족하는 공진 파장에서 한 도파관으로부터 다른 도파관으로 최대 광 결합이 발생하며, 도파관 표면 영역에 놓인 분석물질의 굴절률 변화에 따른 위상정합 조건의 변화가 민감도를 측정하는 척도로 사용될 수 있음을 보여주었다. 제안된 센서는 높은 굴절률 민감도를 가진 on-chip 장치로 설계될 수 있으며, 낮은 전파 손실을 제공하여 민감도가 향상되도록 센서를 구성되었다. 더욱이, 도파관 파라미터에 따른 민감도 변화가 센서의 설계 최적화를 위하여 분석되었다.

The determination of relatedness between individuals in a family is crucial in analysis of common complex diseases. We present a method to infer close inter-familial relationships based on SNP genotyping data and provide the relationship coefficient of kinship in Korean families. We obtained blood samples from 43 Korean individuals in two families. SNP data was obtained using the Affymetrix Genome-wide Human SNP array 6.0 and the Illumina Human 1M-Duo chip. To measure the kinship coefficient with the SNP genotyping data, we considered all possible pairs of individuals in each family. The genetic distance between two individuals in a pair was determined using the allele sharing distance method. The results show that genetic distance is proportional to the kinship coefficient and that a close degree of kinship can be confirmed with SNP genotyping data. This study represents the first attempt to identify the genetic distance between very closely related individuals.
