Abstract

This paper describes a quantitative immunoassay chip harnessing EOF (electroosmotic flow) in glass fiber sheet. The chip consists of a glass fiber sheet-based channel covered with PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) frames and antibody-immobilized microbeads at the observation spot (Fig. 1). Applying EOF, another labeled-antibody and rinsing buffer sequentially migrate through the antigen-antibody complex on the beads and stain the beads depending on the sample (antigen) concentration. We demonstrated a quantitative assay of insulin and succeeded in determining the concentration in 20 min. The developed chip would provide a rapid, low cost and contamination-free assay system.
