CENTRIFUGAL-DRIVEN MICROFLUIDIC PLATFORM AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF
In this invention, chromatography is integrated on a centrifugal platform to enable low-cost automated purification. Differing from the traditional chromatography method, purification and separation of a centrifugal compound collecting platform disclosed in the present invention mainly uses a centrifugal force to drive the fluid to flow outward in the radial direction when the motor rotates. The compounds to be separated react with the column packing during the flow, and the compounds with different polarities in the sample are gradually separated. The flow of the fluid can be governed by the motor and the geometry of the fluidic design such that compounds with different characteristics can be separated and collected in different collecting chambers.
ROTARY ANALYSIS SYSTEM
A rotary analysis system comprising: a rotary unit including a rotary platform, and having a TLC plate on which movement of a fluid sample and an eluent is controlled by rotational motion of the rotary platform, and aldehydes or ketones in the sample are separated and deployed with the eluent; a shooting unit for capturing an image of components of the sample separated by the rotary unit; a control unit for controlling the rotation conditions of the rotary unit and the capturing conditions of the shooting unit; and an analysis unit for analyzing the image captured by the shooting unit, and the rotary analysis system capable of economically and simply separating and detecting aldehydes or ketones.
MICRODEVICE FOR DETECTING ALDEHYDES OR KETONES
A microdevice for detecting aldehydes or ketones by utilizing a rotary platform, the microdevice comprising a disc-shaped rotary platform and a microfluidic structure disposed on the rotary platform, and the microfluidic structure comprising a sample storage part, an eluent storage part, a separation part, a first microfluid flow channel, a second microfluid flow channel, and an absorption pad.
