The design of a DNA chip for microfluidic cell analysis requires careful consideration of parameters such as detection efficiency and sample preservation. The chip should be functionalized with known DNA sequences to effectively detect unknown genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and cancerous cells. Utilizing a PDMS chamber enhances the microfluidic environment, optimizing the analysis process. For practical insights, a video demonstration of DNA chip functionality is available at Sumanas Inc.
