  • Publication number: 20200306755
    Abstract: A microfluidic chip includes a chip main body having a rotation center, a sample reservoir, a liquid groove, multiple reaction chambers, a first inlet channel and multiple second inlet channels, and a sealing membrane connected to the chip main body. The liquid groove has a feeding groove portion extending around the rotation center and the sample reservoir, and multiple metering groove portions extending away from the rotation center. The first inlet channel communicates the sample reservoir and the feeding groove portion. Each second inlet channel communicates a respective metering groove portion and a respective reaction chamber. The depth of the first inlet channel is smaller than those of the sample reservoir and the feeding groove portion. The depth of each second inlet channel is smaller than those of the respective metering groove portion, the respective reaction chamber and the first inlet channel.

  • Publication number: 20200211707
    Abstract: A system for predicting types of pathogens in patients with septicemia is provided. The system includes at least one sensor and a processor. The sensor is used to sense current physiological data including at least one of body temperature, blood pressure, and pulse. The processor is configured to calculate at least one feature value according to the current physiological data, and input the feature value into a machine learning model to determine one of categories including at least two of uninfected, fungal infected, contaminated bacteria infected, Gram-negative infected, and Gram-positive infected.

  • Publication number: 20180057861
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sequence, a technique platform, and a method for in vitro detecting Clostridium difficile ribotype 027. The technology platform includes a pair of primers specific to C. difficile ribotype 027 and used for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and primer sets as well as materials demanded for multiplex-PCR. The method comprises steps of obtaining a specimen DNA, in vitro amplifying the specimen DNA by the primer sets to detect whether the specimen is matched to characteristics of a target sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. Specimen having a sequence matching to characteristics indicates that it comprises C. difficile ribotype 027. Accordingly, the present invention can achieve the aim at quickly confirming whether the specimen contains ribotype 027 strains.
