The device is reasonable to design and is a minitype device used for digital nucleic acid amplification, which has low cost and is easy to operate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to detection devices in multiple fields such as life sciences and medicine, and relates to an integrated flow path chip device for digital nucleic acid amplification and its application. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, especially the development of life sciences, the research and application of biomedicine have gone from the overall and cellular level to the molecular level, and the research on the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases has gradually entered the gene level. As one of the most important biomacromolecules in the living body, nucleic acid is the most critical component in living cells. It carries genetic information and is the material basis of inheritance. Although the final product of gene expression is protein, it is nucleic acid that determines the structure of proteins and enzymes. Therefore, the systematic and effective detection and analysis of nucleic aci...
