NTU's innovative multifunctional protein chip reader uses mature optical and semiconductor technology in which Taiwanese industry is well versed, and does not require the use of a fluorescence microscope. By shining infrared light onto a biochip at wavelengths of 800 to 2000 nanometers, the reader illuminates the biological molecules of all the probes on the chip and interprets them by detecting the reflected signals.
台大首創的多功能蛋白晶片儀，利用國內成熟的光學和半導體技術，不需使用螢光顯微鏡，只要由晶片儀打出波長八百到兩千柰米的紅外光，即可深入晶片上每一點的生物分子，接收反射訊號加以判讀。
