Abstract

A DNA chip with micro-channel for DNA analysis of DNA included in an analyte according to a PCR method is a DNA chip with micro-channel for DNA analysis in which is silicon (first layer) and plastic (second layer) are laminated, wherein the second layer is formed on a partial area of the first layer, and the second layer includes: a reagent; a liquid transporting system; and a sensor, and the first layer includes a PCR reactor provided on an area on which the second layer is not formed.

Claims (22)

1. A DNA chip with a micro-channel for DNA analysis of DNA included in an analyte according to a PCR method, the DNA chip comprising:

a first layer made of silicon;

a second layer made of plastic;

a first channel;

a second channel; and

a third channel,

wherein the second layer is formed on a partial area of the first layer, and

the second layer comprises:

a first pump;

a second pump;

a third pump;

a hole configured to inject an analyte;

a hole configured to inject a first reagent;

a hole configured to inject a second reagent; and

a sensor,

the first layer includes a first PCR reactor and a second PCR reactor provided on an area on which the second layer is not formed, and

the first channel is passed through the hole configured to inject the analyte, the first pump, the first PCR reactor, the second PCR reactor, and the sensor in sequence, and

the second channel is passed through the hole configured to inject the first reagent and the second pump in sequence, and

the third channel is passed through the hole configured to inject the second reagent and the third pump in sequence, and

the second channel is provided on the first layer and the second channel is connected to the first channel between the first pump and the first PCR reactor, and

the third channel is provided on the first layer and the third channel is connected to the first channel between the first PCR reactor and the second PCR reactor.

2. The DNA chip according to claim 1 , wherein the PCR reactor is provided on an area closer to an end of the first layer than to the center of the first layer.
