J161015 Evaluation of chromosome extension properties on microstructures of gene analysis chip

Abstract

For gene analysis, we have proposed a chromosome extension technique using the centrifugal force on a circular microchip in order to obtain high resolution and short analysis time, and a simple fabrication technique for the circular microchip having concentrically aligned micromesh structures. In this study, we investigated the miniaturization of the concentric micro mesh structures on the chip to improve the shape manipulation characteristic of the extended chromosome.
