Method for manufacturing microchip for blood coagulation test
A method for manufacturing a microchip for a blood coagulation test includes preparing a substrate which has, in the surface thereof, a groove serving as a flow channel, and has a first through-hole serving as an inlet and provided on one end side of the groove. A film having a surface coated with collagen and/or tissue thromboplastin is prepared so as to cover a region of a portion on the flow channel when the film is bonded to the surface, of the substrate, having the groove therein overlaps the surface, of the film, coated with the collagen and/or tissue thromboplastin.
1 . A method for manufacturing a microchip for testing blood coagulation, comprising:
providing a substrate comprising on a surface thereof a groove serving as a flow path, wherein the substrate comprises a first penetrating hole serving as an inlet at one end of the groove and a second penetrating hole serving as an air hole at the other end of the groove;
providing a film on a surface of which collagen and/or tissue thromboplastin is/are applied in such a manner that an area on the flow path is covered therewith when the film is attached to the substrate; and
attaching the film on the substrate in such a manner that the surface of the substrate on which the groove is formed and the surface of the film on which collagen and/or tissue thromboplastin is/are applied overlap each other.
2 . The method for manufacturing a microchip for testing blood coagulation according to claim 1 , wherein the attachment is carried out using an adhesive agent and/or a gluing agent.
3 . The method for manufacturing a microchip for testing blood coagulation according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive agent and/or the gluing agent is/are applied at a thickness of 5 to 15 μm with a margin of 200 to 1000 μm from each of both sides of the width of the flow path.
4 . The method for manufacturing a microchip for testing blood coagulation according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive agent is a UV-curable adhesive agent.
5 . The method for manufacturing a microchip for testing blood coagulation according to claim 4 , wherein the UV-curable adhesive agent is an acrylic UV-curable adhesive agent.
6 . The method for manufacturing a microchip for testing blood coagulation according to claim 2 , wherein the adhesive agent is applied to the substrate by screen printing.
7 . The method for manufacturing a microchip for testing blood coagulation according to claim 1 , wherein an attachment surface of the substrate and/or an attachment surface of the film is/are hydrophilized in such a manner that a water contact angle is 40 to 55°.
8 . The method for manufacturing a microchip for testing blood coagulation according to claim 1 , wherein an attachment surface of the substrate and/or an attachment surface of the film is/are subjected to plasma treatment, corona treatment or excimer treatment.
9 . A microchip for testing blood coagulation, comprising:
a substrate comprising on a surface thereof a groove serving as a flow path, wherein the substrate comprises a first penetrating hole serving as an inlet at one end of the groove and a second penetrating hole serving as an air hole at the other end of the groove; and
a film on a surface of which collagen and/or tissue thromboplastin is/are applied in such a manner that an area on the flow path is covered therewith when the film is attached to the substrate,
wherein the substrate and the film are attached to each other in such a manner that the surface of the substrate on which the groove is formed and the surface of the film on which collagen and/or tissue thromboplastin is/are applied overlap each other.
