Abstract
A temperature-controllable microfluidic device includes: a microfluidic channel generally extending in a first direction for passing a specimen fluid; a microheater disposed along the microfluidic channel, the microheater being made of a resistive wire having a pair of serpentine-shaped portions generally extending in the first direction along respective sides of the microfluidic channel; and a temperature sensor disposed along the microfluidic channel, the temperature sensor being made of a resistive wire having a pair of serpentine-shaped portions generally extending in the first direction along the respective sides of the microfluidic channel.
