This study presents a novel electrokinetic method for single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection using microfluidic chips. The technique efficiently identifies genetic mutations without external temperature control, offering a cost-effective diagnostic tool.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Microfluidics
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are key genetic markers for disease association studies.
  • Current SNP detection methods often require complex thermal control and specialized equipment.
  • Microfluidic platforms offer miniaturized and integrated solutions for molecular diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and implement an electrokinetic approach for SNP discrimination on a microfluidic chip.
  • To investigate the interplay of thermal, shear, and electrical forces in SNP detection.
  • To demonstrate the clinical applicability of the developed method for genetic mutation analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a PDMS/glass-based microfluidic chip using soft-lithography and microarray printing.
