Zusammenfassung:A biochip with multiple microchannels is provided. Due to the sloped microchannels, the fluids in the microchannels flow at substantially the same rate, thus facilitating cellular experiments of potential medicaments. Since the flow resistance of the sloped microchannels changes gradually, the fluids can flow in the microchannels without retention and the reagents react consistently with the cells in the microchannels. Hence, the cellular reaction time for the reagents in the microchannels can be correctly determined. Moreover, the biochip of this invention further includes at least one multi-splitter to control the influx or efflux of the fluids.
