Abstract
Provided is an agitation device used to agitate a solution in a hybridization chamber, the agitation device including: the hybridization chamber; first and second air channels connected to ends of the hybridization chamber; a first valve disposed in the first air channel; a second valve disposed in the second air channel; an integrated air channel connecting the first and second air channels; and a pump disposed in the integrated air channel. The agitation device is suitable for effective diffusion of a sample when performing hybridization using a DNA chip. Therefore, a probe can be effectively hybridized with a target material.
