Abstract
Disclosed herein is a microfluidic device, which includes a platform, at least one chamber provided in the platform to accommodate a sample, and at least one channel configured to couple the chambers to each other. The at least one chamber includes a detection chamber configured to detect the sample, and the microfluidic device further includes a light blocking portion configured to prevent external light from entering the detection chamber so as to prevent occurrence of errors in detection of the sample in the detection chamber. The microfluidic device can be useful for preventing the occurrence of detection errors which might otherwise be caused by interference of external light. The microfluidic device may also be useful for reducing an inspection time and for miniaturizing microfluidic devices. Further, the microfluidic device may be useful for preventing contaminants from entering the detection chamber.
