Outline • Introduction • Design & Theory • Results • Conclusion
Introduction • routines in clinical diagnostics (resource consumption) ->compact point-of-care devices ->lab-on-a-chip (Bio-MEMS) • disk-based, colorimetric alcohol assay & optical beam-guidance integrated system to rapidly determine the concentration of alcohol in human whole blood Lab on a disk->
Design & Theory (1) • Disk-based platform -various microfluidic functions -polymer (COC) disk (bio-compatible) -high-throughput screening (HTS) Ref: www.answers.com/topic/data-recovery
Design & Theory (2) • Optical path setup -total internal reflection (TIR) -extend optical path ( increase absorption )
Design & Theory (2) • Total internal reflection (TIR)
Design & Theory (2) • extend optical path -law of Beer-Lambert
Design & Theory (3) ☆ • ALCOHOL ASSAY Vs = 500 nl Vr = 99.5 μl C.V. (sample metering) = 1.7 %
Design & Theory (3) ☆ • ALCOHOL ASSAY
Results The performance is comparable to common breath analyzers
Conclusion • This paper introduced a highly process integrated disk-based assay to rapidly and accurately determine the concentration of alcohol in human whole blood • The assay is run on a cost efficient modular platform comprising a passive polymer disk with monolithically embedded optical and fluidic structures as well as a standard laser diode and detector • Its high degree of automation, its short time-to-result and its excellent precision recommend our centrifugal platform for point-of-care testing and routine screening in clinical labs
