1. A fluorescence detection system for detecting fluorescence in a microfluidic chip having at least a microchamber, comprising:

  • a chip mount for placing the microfluidic chip thereon;

    an optical device for emitting light on the microfluidic chip and detecting fluorescence which is generated from a fluorescent material existing in the microfluidic chip;

    a carriage for transporting the chip mount or the optical device at a predetermined speed, so that the optical device emits the light on the microfluidic chip while scanning the microfluidic chip;

    a measuring unit for measuring an optical signal detected by the optical device and converting the optical signal into a digital signal; and

    a calculator for calculating the amount of the fluorescent material in the microfluidic chip based on a measured value.
