| Research Abstract |
We have developed ultrahigh-density haplotyping devices composed of ultra-fast genome analysis device, ultra-sensitive DNA detection device, and ultra-small reaction chamber system for genome analysis. In the first yean essential techniques in these component devices were developed. As a result, nanostructures inside microchannel were optimized for DNA sieving matrix and high sensitive detection using a novel DNA labeling method was achieved. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the inkjet-type injection method did work as a DNA injectr. In the seccond year we investigated how to army microchannel in high density Since straight type microchannel is most suitable for making high-density microchannel array, combination of nanostructures and microchannel was optimized and ink-jet-type injector was mounted on the straight miceothannel We elucidated that this combination worked well as a DNA analysis device. In the last year final evaluation of the prototype device was performed. Combining all components that have been developed so fat highly integrated and high-density device was fabricated on a chip as a prototype device. Regarding to inkjet-type injector applied voltage, frequency, and wave pattern was optimized to reduce the distribution of volume of a single aliquot. After this process, we could inject 10 pL DNA sample into the straight type microchannel and electrophoretic DNA separation was successfully done. Although high-density haplotyping devices has same problems such as physical interference of peripheral equipment, we demonstrated highly integrated and high-density haplotyping devices could be realized using the above developed techniques.
