Abstract

There is provided a cell chip package, including: a chamber having an opening formed in a region thereof; a cell chip received in an inside of the chamber and having a biomaterial array formed therein; and a sealing membrane mounted in the opening and made of a gas permeable material. The cell chip package may facilitate experimentation and long-term storage with respect to a cell chip.

Claims

1. A cell chip package comprising:

a chamber having an opening formed in one region thereof;

a cell chip received in an inside of the chamber and having a biomaterial array formed therein; and

a sealing membrane mounted in the opening and made of a gas permeable material.

2. The cell chip package of claim 1, wherein the sealing membrane is made of polydimethylsiloxane, polyimide, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, or a copolymer thereof.

3. The cell chip package of claim 1, wherein the chamber is configured of a lower chamber having a receiving space formed therein and an upper cover mounted on the lower chamber to cover the receiving space.

4. The cell chip package of claim 1, wherein the chamber is configured of a lower chamber having a receiving space formed therein and an upper cover mounted on the lower chamber to cover the receiving space, and the opening is formed in the upper cover.

5. The cell chip package of claim 1, wherein the chamber is configured of a lower chamber having a receiving space formed therein and an upper cover mounted on the lower chamber to cover the receiving space, and the upper cover is mounted on the lower chamber by a screw.

6. The cell chip package of claim 3, wherein a gasket is disposed between the lower chamber and the upper cover.

7. The cell chip package of claim 4, wherein a gasket is disposed between the lower chamber and the upper cover.

8. The cell chip package of claim 5, wherein a gasket is disposed between the lower chamber and the upper cover.

9. The cell chip package of claim 1, wherein the chamber has at least one groove formed therein.

10. The cell chip package of claim 1, wherein the cell chip includes:

a first substrate having the biomaterial array formed thereon; and

a second substrate having a plurality of grooves formed therein, the plurality of grooves corresponding to the biomaterial array and having samples injected thereinto.

11. The cell chip package of claim 10, further comprising a permeable membrane formed in the vicinity of a biomaterial and made of a gas permeable material.

12. The cell chip package of claim 11, wherein the permeable membrane is made of polydimethylsiloxane, polyimide, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, or a copolymer thereof.
