| Title: | Heater for Lab-on-a-Chip |
| Description: | The object of the invention is a device, a lab-on-a-chip, comprising a biochemical testing apparatus (fig 2;202) and an electrically conducting element 105 wherein in use the disc is rotated relative to one or more magnets, so as to induce an electrical current in the electrically conducting element, thereby heating the biochemical testing apparatus. A system comprising the lab on a disc, a motor 103 to which the disc is releasably attached such that the disc is rotatable, and one or more magnets 108a, 108e located proximate to the disc such that when the motor rotates the lab on a disc, an electrical current is induced in the electrically conducting element. The temperature of the disc is controlled by controlling the rotational frequency of the disc or the distance between the one or more magnets and the electrically conducting element. The electrically conducting element may be a plate or foil formed of copper. The lab on a disc may further comprise a temperature sensor 106 and a transmitter 102 to transmit the sensed temperature. Ideally, the transmitter comprises one or more light emitting diodes which turn on and off at a frequency dependent upon the sensed temperature. |
