Embodiment 1

[0046] figure 2It is a schematic diagram of the device of the automatic droplet generation system based on the notched tube array in Example 1. The system consists of three parts: a sample presentation device based on a notched tube array, a quartz capillary, and a microsyringe pump. The sample providing device based on the notched tube array is composed of a gear set 9 composed of two gears, one big and one small, and the small gear is controlled by a stepping motor to drive the big gear to rotate. On the large gear, 6 notched tubes 10 are equidistantly arranged; on the small gear, 3 notched tubes 10 are fixed according to an isosceles triangle. Liquid A4, liquid B5, liquid C6, liquid D11, liquid E12, liquid F13, liquid G14, liquid H15 and oil 2 required for generating droplet arrays are contained in the notched tubes respectively. When generating liquid droplets, the gear set 9 is rotated so that the required liquid in the notched tube 10 contacts the liquid inlet 3 of th...

[0048] image 3 It is a schematic diagram of the device of the automatic droplet generation system based on the porous plate in Example 2. The system consists of three parts: a sample presentation device based on a porous plate 16, a quartz capillary, and a micro-injection pump. The sample presentation device based on the porous plate 16 is composed of the porous plate 16 for containing various liquids and a three-dimensional translation stage 17 . When generating liquid droplets, move the three-dimensional translation stage 17, so that the different liquids contained in the porous plate 16 contact the liquid inlet 3 of the capillary 1 in sequence, absorb a certain volume of liquid into the capillary 1, and assemble and generate liquid droplets 7. In the example: the inner diameter of the capillary 1 is 0.5 micron, and the flow rate of the liquid driven by the driving device is 1 picoliter / minute.

Description

technical field [0001] The field of the present invention is the field of droplet analysis, and more specifically, it relates to a microfluidic droplet generation system based on droplet sequential assembly technology and its application method. Background technique [0002] In recent years, microfluidic droplet analysis technology has received more and more attention. The droplet-based microfluidic analysis system uses immiscible liquid or gas phases as intervals between nanoliter to picoliter-sized droplets to form an independent reaction vessel, which has the advantages of eliminating diffusion, accelerating mixing, and automatic operation. With the advantages of fast analysis speed and low consumption of sample reagents, it is very suitable for high-throughput screening analysis, and has been successfully applied in the fields of chemistry, physics, biology and medicine. [0003] However, so far, most droplet analysis systems use the instability of the oil-water two-pha...
