  • Publication number: 20220118449
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a microfluidic connection device for enabling faster observation of reactions even with only sample amount far less than that of reaction experiments in which a 96-well particularly used for a conventional sample reaction is used. The objective of the present invention is to provide the microfluidic connection device comprising: a microtube having a fine tube shape; a microvalve comprising a fluid moving unit for causing samples filled in the microtube to flow or stop; a plate-shaped plate; a reaction zone in which chemical reactions between samples supplied through the microtube occur, which has an observation window through which chemical reactions are observed, and which is provided on the upper surface of the plate; a supply tube for connecting the reaction zone with the microtube; and a reaction plate comprising a discharge tube for discharging reactants from the reaction zone.

  • Publication number: 20210338117
    Abstract: A blood glucose measurement device and a blood glucose measurement system using the same are proposed, the device being non-invasive, measuring blood glucose with sweat rather than blood, having a sweat-inducing means that requires no drug in a sweat induction process, and including: a sweat-inducing part having two electrodes arranged to be spaced apart from each other and to which opposite polarities are respectively applied; a housing for fixing the sweat-inducing part allowing the two electrodes to be exposed on one surface of the housing; and a blood glucose sensor inserted into the housing and in contact with body fluids induced by the sweat-inducing part, whereby pain, infection, and scars do not occur, the drugs that may affect the normal sweat-inducing mechanism in the skin are not used, and all the collected sweat is used to measure the blood glucose level with high-accuracy.

  • Patent number: 9061277
    Abstract: A micro-fluid supplying device having a gas bubble trapping function. The micro-fluid supplying device includes: a fluid supplier including a fluid having a biomaterial; a trap chamber in which a gas bubble is removed from the fluid supplied from the fluid supplier; and a fluid discharger which externally discharges a material supplied from the trap chamber. Material properties of a side wall and a bottom of an inside of the trap chamber are different from each other. The side wall has a better property of wetting with respect to the fluid supplied from the fluid supplier than the bottom.
