Abstract

A microfluidic cartridge includes a capture portion capturing target material on surfaces of nonmagnetic particles; and a separating portion separating target molecules from the target material captured on the surfaces of the particles. The microfluidic cartridge is mounted on an adaptor that is rotated by a rotating unit in order to separate a fluid including the target molecules from the particles through centrifugal force.
