Abstract

There is a growth of social concern for personal health, medical services by improved quality of life like increase of population and aging issues. However, medical services utilizing the existing large medical facilities generate a high costs. Also, it is difficult to receive the provision of quality health care services from personal medical facilities. In comparison, diagnostics cost cheaper, easy access to public and user friendly. Therefore, society shows higher interest in health center, particularly in the aspect of diagnostics. In this field, many of laboratories are developing a microfluidics chip for diagnostics. Reaction time for each disease is different and current microfluidics chip research cannot detect various diseases by one chip. Therefore, the microfluidics chip equipped with control system is inevitable in order for a sufficient immune reaction between antigen and antibody for various diseases detection at test zone in channel, various flow velocities. Here, we suggest a flow controllable system. Control of flow velocities are measured and controlled by integrated system equipped with light source and pneumatic valve. We have demonstrated the developed system could be easily controlled for diseases detection and programmed proper algorithm using the labview.
