ABSTRACT:
A system and a method for detecting fluorescence in a microfluidic chip having a microchamber and measuring the amount of the fluorescence are disclosed. In the system and method, an optical device detects fluorescence generated by a fluorescent material. The position of the outer circumference of a microfluidic chip is identified based on the change of the amount of the detected fluorescence. Then, the position of a microchannel is calculated based on the position of the outer circumference of the microfluidic chip and the distance between the outer circumference and the microchamber. Hence, the amount of the fluorescence only generated from the microchamber of the microfluidic chip is automatically calculated. Further, a plurality of samples can be analyzed at the same time, thereby reducing analysis time and cost.
