Disclosed relates to a method and an apparatus for measuring fluorescence
polarization FP in a lab-on-a-chip and, more concretely, to a method and
an apparatus that measure quantitatively interactions between
biomolecules and fluorescently labeled biomaterials and enzyme activities
using the measurement of fluorescence polarization FP. The method and the
apparatus of the invention provide rapid assays with minute amounts of
samples using an automated device compared to conventional methods.
Accordingly, the method and the apparatus of the invention can be
usefully applied to the measurement of interactions between biomolecules
and to the protease assays using a protein substrate.
