Abstract
We report a fully integrated lab-on-a-disc that can perform both of multiple chemical analyses and immunoassay on a disc. The concentrations of 12 analytes to test liver related diseases risk and Anti-HCV are reported within 30 minutes by simply inserting a disc to a portable device (Figure 1a). In our blood analyzer, whole blood is applied directly to a disposable disc containing 12 different kinds of reagents for the blood chemistry analysis as well as reagents required for the immunoassay to detect Anti-HCV. The absorbance can be measured at 10 different wavelengths to accommodate various kinds of reaction protocols.
