Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the commonly used microfluidic chip chromatographic enrichment method needs to replace the solution many times, the operation is cumbersome, it is not easy to realize automation, and the size of the channel on the microfluidic chip is relatively high.
If the solution transport channel before the separation channel is oversized, it is easy to introduce dead volume
It not only makes the separation effect worse and the reproducibility is reduced, but also causes the gradient delay effect in the gradient separation

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sampling method for a microfluidic chip system, in particular to a large-volume sampling method in a microfluidic chip and a dedicated chip. Background technique [0002] The concept of Miniaturized Total Analysis System (μTAS) was first proposed in the 1990s. In the following ten years, this field has developed into one of the most cutting-edge scientific and technological fields in the world today, and its core technology is the microfluidic chip. [0003] Microfluidic chips have the advantages of small size, easy integration, automation, fast analysis speed, high separation efficiency, and significantly reduced consumption of reagents and samples. However, since the injection volume of microfluidic chips is usually from picoliters to nanoliters, this requires a very high sensitivity of the detector. This limits the application of microfluidic chips to a certain extent. [0004] One of the effective ways to solve this pr...
