The Industrial Technology Re-search Institute (
The clinical utility of the chip is being investigated in collaboration with the National Taiwan University Hospital.
The institute's Biomedical Engineering Center made public Wednesday the achievements of its biochip program, supported by the institute's departments of electronics, photonics, chemical engineering as well as automation.
Lee Chung-hsi (李鐘熙), vice president of the Hsinchu-based research institute, said that the biochip program is aimed at developing an integrated system for rapid molecular diagnosis of infectious diseases through detection of genetic materials of pathogenic bacteria or viruses.
Under the genomics research project, an air-driven microfluidics system was designed for DNA sample preparation and amplification in addition to the "FeverChip."
