The present invention is directed to a microfluidic biochip based on an
agglutination reaction that is frequently used in qualitative typing in
the diagnostic medicine field by realizing a specimen inlet, a reagent
inlet, a split microchannel, transfer microchannels, a chaos micromixer,
a reaction microchamber, a microfilter, a passive microvalve, and an
outlet on a plastic microchip. Particularly, the biochip of the present
invention is characterized in that portability thereof is superior and a
small amount (about 1 .mu.l) of each of a specimen and a reagent is used.
In addition, the biochip of the present invention can be cheaply made
through conventional photolithography, electroplating, injection molding,
and bonding. Therefore, by utilizing the microfluidic biochip for blood
typing according to the present invention, a point-of-care diagnosis for
performing blood typing based on an agglutination reaction at any place
becomes possible.
