Abstract
A gene-array operation chip device includes a reaction chamber, and a plurality of inlet holes connected respectively to agitation channels for creating agitation currents within the reaction chamber. Each agitation channel has two ends respectively connected to one of the inlet holes and to the reaction chamber. The agitation channels are inclined with respect to radial directions about an axis of the reaction chamber. Preferably, a flow channel interconnecting two reaction chambers has a hydrophobic wall surface to limit a fluid from flowing naturally between the chambers. In an embodiment, the reaction chamber is a hybridization chamber provided with a membrane-array.
