1. A microfluidic device comprising:

  • a platform;

    a plurality of chambers, including a first chamber which is provided in the platform and configured to accommodate a sample, and at least a second chamber; and

    at least one channel configured to couple the first chamber to the at least the second chamber,wherein the plurality of chambers further comprises;

    a reaction chamber in which a reaction of the sample occurs;

    a contaminant accommodation chamber configured to accommodate contaminants generated as a result of the reaction of the sample in the reaction chamber; and

    a detection chamber configured to detect the sample,wherein the contaminant accommodation chamber comprises an inlet port configured to facilitate a flow of the sample into the contaminant accommodation chamber, and an outlet port configured to facilitate a flow of the sample out from the contaminant accommodation chamber and into the detection chamber, andthe inlet port and the outlet port are spaced apart from each other, anda linear distance between the outlet port and a central point of the platform is shorter than a linear distance between a center of the contaminant accommodation chamber and the central point of the platform.
