  • Publication number: 20240091991
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for fabricating microparticles by using a degassed gas-permeable micro-mold and discontinuous dewetting. The method for fabricating microparticles according to the present invention comprises the steps of: depressurizing and degassing a porous micro-mold including a plurality of micro-wells concavely recessed in a predetermined shape and size from one surface thereof (S100); loading a microparticle precursor solution on which the micro-wells are formed, and covering the microparticle precursor solution with a cover substrate (S200); moving the to cover substrate to the side (S300); and curing the microparticle precursor solution filled in the micro-wells, thereby synthesizing microparticles (S400).

  • Patent number: 11391673
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing encoded hydrogel particles for high sensitive detection of a target biomolecule with high accuracy, and encoded hydrogel particles prepared thereby and, specifically, to a method for preparing encoded hydrogel particles, comprising a step of synthesizing hydrogel particles, and then binding a probe thereto, and encoded hydrogel particles prepared thereby. According to the present invention, probes can be loaded with remarkably improved high efficiency, loaded probes can be uniformly distributed, and the potential problem of biomolecule detection inhibition caused by an unreacted end can be resolved. In addition, the present invention can be applied to the diagnosis of diseases or screening of drugs through high sensitive multiplex detection of target biomolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins, and therefore, can be widely used in the field of medical diagnosis including molecular diagnosis.

  • Publication number: 20220011231
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomolecule detection apparatus capable of easily and quickly detecting various biomolecules associated with diseases and determining the presence or absence of a specific disease. The biomolecule detection apparatus of the present invention includes a micropore device, a microchip, and sensing electrodes. According to the present invention, a microscale pore is formed inside the micropore device. In addition, the microchip is configured to pass through the microscale pore along the flow of a conductive liquid supplied inside the micropore device, has a surface coated with a sensing molecule complementarily bound to a target biomolecule, and has a unique code for identifying the complementarily bound target biomolecule. The sensing electrodes serve to sense the code by measuring change in current flowing through the pore when the microchip passes through the pore.
