Abstract

The invention discloses a device for producing and measuring droplets on a micro-fluidic chip. The device comprises a rotating platform with adjustable rotation speed, a micro-fluidic chip and micro-flow pipes disposed on the micro-fluidic chip. The device also comprises auxiliary rotating shafts and two locking valves. The two locking valves are arranged at two sides of the micro-fluidic chip respectively. The micro-fluidic chip can rotate around the auxiliary rotating shafts. Included angles between micro-flow pipe directions and radial directions of the rotating platform are adjusted through rotation acceleration of the rotating platform. The micro-fluidic chip is locked on two states by the locking valves, so as to change droplet flow directions in the micro-flow pipes. Each micro-flow pipe comprises a first horizontal reversible pipe, a radial normal-open pipe, a second horizontal reversible pipe and a main pipe. The invention also discloses a method based on the device. By periodically switching rotation directions of the rotating platform, production and measurement of the droplets on the micro-fluidic chip are realized; a structure is simple; cost is low and operations are convenient.

Description
