Abstract: This application relates to a sample analyzing apparatus. In one aspect, the apparatus includes a base, a connector arranged at an end of the base, and a temperature controlling member mounted on the base and configured to adjust a temperature of the connector. The apparatus may also include a controller configured to adjust heat generation of the temperature controlling member to adjust a bonding force of a pipette tip attached to a surface of the connector.

Abstract: Microfluidic devices include a photoresist layer in which an inlet chamber, an optional reaction chamber and at least one detection chamber are in fluid contact, a support arranged under the photoresist layer and a cover arranged above the photoresist layer. The devices further include a set of absorbent channels downstream of the last detection chamber. Biogenic or immunoreactive substances are placed in the reaction chamber and detection chamber(s). When a liquid sample is dropped into the inlet chamber, the sample liquid is drawn through the devices by capillary action. Detection methods include electrochemical detection, colorimetric detection and fluorescence detection.
