Abstract :
The field of microfluidics evolved as engineers and scientists explored new avenues to exploit the fabrication technologies developed by the microelectronics industry. These technologies enabled complex micron and submicron structures to be integrated with electronic systems are fabricated at low cost. The goal of this paper to design a microfluidic filter for filtering the biomolecule in blood or plasma/serum. In designing molecular biosensors, we have been developed micro devices incorporated with porous membranes as molecular bio-sensor platforms. In microfluidic filter aluminum oxide membrane which increases the sensitivity of the detection of biomolecule. The sensitivity of the porous membranes dynamic range have been analyzed with change in the concentration of the molecule.
