Publication number: 20220118449Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2019Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventor: Joon Sub SHIM

Patent number: 9061277Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2011Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Won-jong Jung, Chin-sung Park, Joon-ho Kim, Joon-sub Shim
