Title:
PCR MODULE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/282502
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a PCR module in which a sample can be injected using the capillary effect. The PCR module comprises: a microfluidic chamber which includes an inlet part for inputting a sample and is manufactured by injection molding; a well array which is disposed on the lower surface of the microfluidic chamber and includes a plurality of micro-wells of which the upper and lower portions are perforated; and a capillary member providing a path so that the sample input through the inlet part reaches the micro-wells through the capillary effect. When moving a PCR solution to a reaction space using the capillary effect and filling the reaction space with the solution, it is possible to prevent air pockets from forming in the corners or edge regions of the well array which is the reaction space. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent errors caused by air pockets from occurring in PCR test results. In addition, since the well array is located on a CMOS photosensor array, PCR reactions can be measured in real time.
