  • Patent number: 8911687
    Abstract: A miniature sieve apparatus is described and includes a first sieve, a separator and a second sieve from top to bottom. The first and second sieves are formed with at least one first mesh and a plurality of second meshes, respectively. The first and second meshes are misaligned with each other in a vertical direction of the first and second sieves. The miniature sieve apparatus is provided to separate or screen microparticles with different sizes, such as target cells, bio-medical particles, organic or inorganic microparticles. Additionally, the invention also provides a manufacturing method of the miniature sieve apparatus, and the same material is applied to manufacture the sieves and the separators. Thus, the problem caused by the residual thermal stress due to different material can be solved. Therefore, the cost of the miniature sieve apparatus can be lowered as the yield rate thereof is improved.

  • Publication number: 20130291628
    Abstract: A microparticle detecting apparatus is disclosed and includes at least one detection unit, each of which includes: a first sieve having at least a first mesh, a separator stacked on one side of the first sieve and having a separator hole, and a second sieve stacked on one side of the separator and having several second meshes. The diameter of the second mesh is smaller than that of the first mesh, and the first and second meshes are misaligned with each other in a vertical direction of the first and second sieves. The detection unit further includes at least a sensor aligned with the first or second mesh for detecting microparticles trapping into the first mesh or passing through the second mesh. Therefore, the microparticle detecting apparatus is suitably used for detecting or counting any microparticles with different size, to effectively shorten the detection processes of sample fluids.

  • Publication number: 20100072976
    Abstract: A sensing element includes a field-effect transistor (FET) with an ultra-thin channel, a reference electrode, a first and a second passivation layer, and a microchannel. The first and the second passivation layer enclose a first and a second portion of the FET, respectively. The microchannel is bonded to the first and the second passivation layer, such that the microchannel is extended across the channel of the ultra-thin channel FET. The ultra-thin channel has a chemically or physically modified surface. When an analyte to be tested passes through the microchannel and is in contact with the modified surface of the ultra-thin channel, it results in changes in the conductance of the ultra-thin channel FET. Trace detection may be conducted on the analyte by observing changes in the conductance. A method for manufacturing the sensing element and a biological detection system employing the sensing element are also provided.
