Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of digital micro-fluidics, concretely relates to a medium electro-wetting driving based digital micro-fluidic technology, and more specially relates to a large and small droplet control based digital micro-fluidic chip. A general electrode structure which is treated as a base is combined with a bar-shaped rectangular electrode, a double-electrode-plate chip structure is formed through reasonable configuration, and a capacitor is arranged for sensing in order to generate, transport, split, mix, screen droplets having different sizes. The large and small droplet control based digital micro-fluidic chip has the advantages of novelty, simplicity, strong integrateability, high automation degree and the like, widely widens the utility functions and the application range of electro-wetting digital micro-fluidic chips.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of digital microfluidics, and in particular relates to a digital microfluidic chip based on the manipulation of large and small droplets based on the electrowetting digital microfluidic technology on a medium. Background technique [0002] Digital microfluidic technology refers to the technology of manipulating a single droplet through various driving methods such as light, heat, voltage, and surface acoustic waves to complete functions such as sampling, mixing, transport, and detection of microfluidic droplets. The digital microfluidic technology based on electrowetting on the medium refers to that on a chip containing an insulating medium, the contact angle of the droplet on the medium can be changed by applying a voltage signal, so that the droplet undergoes asymmetric deformation, thereby generating internal force to A technology to achieve droplet manipulation. This technology is attracting more and mo...
