PCR-BASED POINT-OF-CARE TESTING DEVICE HAVING MICROFLUIDIC CHIP FOR ELECTROPHORESIS COUPLED THERETO

摘要

The present invention relates to a point-of-care testing device, and provides a PCR-based point-of-care testing device comprising: i) a microtube comprising a cap and a container fastened to the cap, the upper portion of the container comprising a corrugated elastic wall, the lower portion thereof having a conical shape such that the same becomes narrower downwardly, the bottom surface thereof being made of a thin film, the container comprising a junction portion protruding downwards from the bottom surface in a hollow pillar shape; and ii) a microfluidic chip having a hollow protrusion formed on the upper portion thereof, the protrusion having a sharp pointed portion fastened to the junction portion, a microfluidic channel, which is filled with an electrophoresis matrix, being connected to the lower portion of the protrusion, and electrodes being provided on the upper and lower ends of the microfluidic channel, respectively.
