Abstract
|
|
|
|
The effect of fluidic conditions on the bioluminescent detection of ATP in a microfluidic device was surveyed using homemade detector system. The bioluminescent reaction of ATP was directly affected by the retention time and flow rates of the solutions in this diffusion-based mixing and reaction system due to the laminar flow in the microchannel. ATP and enzyme solutions were separately injected into the microfluidic device at different flow rates through 3 inlet ports. The ATP solution was injected through the middle port, while the enzyme solution was injected in the two remaining ports. When the ratio of ATP to enzyme solution was fixed, the optimum flow rates of enzyme, ATP, and enzyme solution was 3.5, 8.0, and 3.5 μL/min, respectively. The optimal total flow rate was 15 μL/min. The detection limit for the concentration of ATP at optimal conditions was less than 10?7 M.
