MICROANALYSIS CHIP - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18618542 titled 'MICROANALYSIS CHIP

The present disclosure introduces a microanalysis chip with a unique configuration of channel chambers and electrodes.

• The first channel chamber contains a reference electrode with an ion crystal of specimen solubility on its surface.
• The second channel chamber houses a working electrode.
• The first and second channels are designed so that the time it takes for a specimen to reach the ion crystal (T1) is greater than the time it takes to reach the working electrode (T2).

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various analytical and diagnostic applications where precise measurements of specimen solubility are required. - It can be utilized in research laboratories for studying ion interactions and crystal formation processes.

Problems Solved: - Provides a more accurate and efficient method for analyzing specimen solubility. - Offers a controlled environment for studying ion crystal interactions.

Benefits: - Enhanced accuracy in measuring specimen solubility. - Improved understanding of ion crystal behavior. - Time-saving and cost-effective analysis process.

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Microanalysis Chip for Precise Specimen Solubility Measurements This technology can be commercialized for use in pharmaceutical research, environmental monitoring, and quality control processes in various industries.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the configuration of the channel chambers and electrodes contribute to the accuracy of specimen solubility measurements? 2. What are the potential limitations of this microanalysis chip in real-world applications?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in microanalysis techniques and applications to enhance the capabilities of this technology.

Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure is to provide a microanalysis chip in which: a first channel chamber has a reference electrode arranged therein, the reference electrode having a surface on which an ion crystal having specimen solubility is arranged; a second channel chamber has a working electrode arranged therein; and a first channel and a second channel are configured so that, when a time period required for a specimen to reach the ion crystal after the specimen is dispensed to a dispensing section is represented by T1 and a time period required for the specimen to reach the working electrode after the specimen is dispensed to the dispensing section is represented by T2, the time period T1 and the time period T2 satisfy a relationship of T1>T2.
