2P-108 : Easy module chip platform for microfluidics

Microfluidic technology is widely interested in many industrial fields. However, the complex and unique designs of microfluidic device is obstacle to expend its applications. Some scientists have tried to divide the complex function of microfluidic devices as several unit functional devices. However, the connectivity and the usage of the previous devices are still uncomfortable. Here we introduce an easy module chip platform for microfluidics. Each of modules are represent an unit function of microfluidic device such as Plasma separator, Valve, Mixer, DNA extractor, PCR, Sensor and etc. The module chip is consisted with a case frame, a core and silicon connectors. Module chips are easily connected and disconnected with each other using magnet force. The silicon connector is good for the liquid transportation without leakage. I believe that this module chip platform will be useful for not only researcher but also young students.
