The cost when manufactured with a Si 4-inch wafer was about 40 yen\/chip, so it will certainly be disposable.<br \/>\nThe temperature control of the chip is done by controlling electric current flowing in the Si substrate, and the detection is performed electrochemically using methylene blue (MB) as a redox reporter. Since MB acts also as an intercalator of DNA, the electrochemical current changes when DNA is amplified.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/dispozable-chip.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/dispozable-chip.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"374\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/dispozable-chip.png 374w, https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/dispozable-chip-300x220.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of\u00a0 Imperial College London has reported a prototype of a disposable new coronavirus (COVID-19) detect<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"blog-btn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/en\/a-disposable-qpcr-chip-for-detecting-the-new-coronavirus-covid-19\/\" class=\"home-blog-btn\">\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1436","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1436"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1436\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1441,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1436\/revisions\/1441"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
