Abstract

An electrochemical detector integrated on a capillary electrophoresis chip according to the present invention includes: a first substrate having a microchannel; a second substrate adapted to mate with the first substrate and having at least one peripheral electrode for conducting electrophoresis of a sample injected along the microchannel of the first substrate, in which a separation channel is formed along the microchannel by bonding the first substrate with the second substrate; a first electrode, made of indium tin oxide (ITO), formed on the first substrate to be positioned over the separation channel; and a second electrode, made of indium tin oxide (ITO), formed on the second substrate to be positioned under the separation channel, and spaced apart from the first electrode at a predetermined interval, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode constitute a detector to measure electrical characteristics of the sample passing along the separation channel. According to the present invention, since the specific characteristics of a sample can be evaluated by measuring the electrical or genetic characteristics of the sample flowing along the microchannel formed in a chip using a detector, a chip for a micro-analysis system having a simple structure can be realized.
