Abstract

The invention discloses a 3D-printing-based machining method of a three-dimensional micro-fluidic chip. The machining method comprises the following steps: (1) drawing a three-dimensional micro-runner figure; (2) layering three-dimensional runners in the three-dimensional micro-runner figure, and carrying out layer-by-layer slicing on the three-dimensional runners along the bottom surface direction parallel to a chip; (3) pouring a liquid-state chip material on a micro-runner solid structure at a previous layer, sequentially printing the micro-runner solid structure and pouring the chip material on each layer according to layering and slicing sequences of the runners, and sequentially finishing the shape printing of the runners, so as to obtain a three-dimensional runner solid structure; (4) dissolving the three-dimensional runner solid structure, so as to obtain the three-dimensional micro-fluidic chip. The invention further discloses a printing device for implementing the method. The 3D-printing-based machining method has the advantages that a machining process is simple, convenient and rapid, the production efficiency is high, the industrial mass production is easily realized, the obtained three-dimensional micro-fluidic chip does not need to be subjected to post-processing processes such as bonding, a packaging process is simplified, a three-dimensional micro-runner with a complex structure can be manufactured, and the shape and precision of the runner are controllable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of micro-nano processing, in particular to a processing method and printing device for a three-dimensional microfluidic chip based on a 3D printing method. Background technique [0002] Microfluidics integrates the basic operation units such as sample preparation, reaction, separation, and detection in the biological, chemical, and medical analysis processes into one chip to automatically complete the analysis process. Due to its great potential in the fields of biology, chemistry, and medicine, it has developed into a new research field interdisciplinary in biology, chemistry, medicine, fluid, electronics, materials, and machinery. [0003] Microfluidic chip is the main platform for the realization of microfluidic technology. The main characteristic of microfluidic chip is that its fluid-accommodating channels, reaction chambers and some other functional components are micron-scale in at least one latitude. Due to ...
