A micromachined fluidic structure for the introduction of liquid samples into a chip-based sensor array composed of individually addressable polymeric microbeads has been developed. The structure consists of a separately attached cover glass, a single silicon chip having micromachined channels and microbead storage cavities, and a glass carver. In our sensor array, transduction occurs via colorimetric and fluorescence changes to receptors and indicator molecules that are covalently attached to termination sites on the polymeric microbeads. Data streams are acquired for each of the individual microbeads using a CCD. One of the key parts of the structure is a passive fluid introduction system driven only by capillary force. The velocity of penetration of a horizontal capillary for the device having a rectangular cross section has been derived, and it is quite similar to the Washburn Equation calculated for a pipe with a circular cross section having uniform radius. The test results show that this system is useful in a ${\mu}$-TAS and biomedical applications.

상용 알루미나 분말(0.5, 2.8, 12, 45 ${\mu}m$)을 die-press법을 이용하여 1120$^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 1차 소결하여 다공성 전성형체를 제조하고 1100$^{\circ}C$에서 0∼2시간까지 $La_2O_3-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$계 유리를 용융 침투시켜 유리 침투 깊이와 침투 시간간의 kinetic을 조사하였다. 침투시간이 증가할수록 유리 침투깊이는 Washburn 식의 포물선 관계를 가지면서 증가하였으며 침투 상수인 K는 알루미나 입도가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 유리-알루미나 복합체의 강도값은 2.8${\mu}m$ 알루미나가 분산된 복합체까지 충진률의 증가로 인하여 증가하다가 알루미나 입도가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 파괴인성은 알루미나 입도가 증가할수록 균열 휨 현상과 균열과 알루미나 입자간 결합에 의하여 증가하였다.
