Problems solved by technology

[0005] The cost of etching molding method is too high, the yield is low, the processing cycle is long, and there are few domestic OEM units, and the connection with the external pipeline needs to be specially designed for special fixtures; the capillary glass tube assembly method is based on manual production and has poor repeatability ; The soft lithography casting method has good repeatability and is simple to manufacture, but because polymer materials such as PDMS are gas permeable and easy to deform, more importantly, PDMS is compatible with a variety of oil-phase organic solvents, making PDMS microfluidic chips applications are limited

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a novel micro-fluidic chip based on an industrial standard printed circuit board (PCB) process. The method comprises steps of designing a PCB copper-clad geometrical shape in accordance with a micro channel structure of the micro-fluidic chip; drawing a PCB picture in accordance with the copper-clad geometrical shape by using standard PCB design software; according to the PCB picture, obtaining a micro-fluidic chip body of the PCB through direct processing in a PCB factory; coating ultraviolet curing adhesive in a spin mode on a glass covering plate; agglutinating the copper-clad surface of the micro-fluidic chip body of the PCB with the adhesive-coating surface of the glass covering plate; and placing the agglutinated micro-fluidic chip body of the PCB and glass covering plate to an ultraviolet curing box for curing. An inlet and an outlet of the micro-fluidic chip and a micro channel are processed and formed, the standardization degree is high, the yield rate is high, the cost is low, the channel is applicable to an organic solvent, and the production environment is independent of ultra-clean and high-temperature conditions. The method is suitable to industrial large-scale batch production and scientific small-scale trial-production.
