Development of New Biochemical IC Chip-Set for Real-Time PCR

We have developed new biochemical IC chip-set which realizes real-time PCR in the finger top size. Unlike conventional mu-TAS approach, our chip-set has great versatility and portability since all chips are designed in standardized micro-architecture and the fabrication process can be combined with conventional MEMS processes. Combining this chip-set with existing Biochemical IC chip-set family, researchers can easily develop order-made palm-top system for proteomics research, on-site diagnosis, and tailor-made medicine.
