MICROFLUIDIC CONCENTRATOR ARRAY FOR OBSERVING PREDATION BEHAVIOR OF MICROBES

摘要

PURPOSE: A microfluidic concentrator array apparatus with a structure of a microchannel is provided to enable quantitative analysis of individual and predation rate. CONSTITUTION: A microfluidic concentrator array apparatus comprises: a first chamber(200) for inputting a buffer solution containing feed of a microbe; a second chamber(300) for inputting a buffer solution containing feed of lower concentration than the concentration of the first chamber; a plurality of collectors(100) which are placed at the back side of the first and second chambers and concentrates the feed to the center; and a channel(400) of a tree type.
