Embodiment 1

[0047] Example 1 Preparation of one-component aqueous phase droplets

[0048] (1) Select the continuous phase as silicone oil and the discrete phase as deionized water. 5% mass fraction of surfactant (Dow Corning 749) was added to the silicone oil, and it was placed in a continuous phase container. A small amount of rhodamine b was added to deionized water and loaded into a syringe.

[0049] (2) A preparation device for producing single-component droplets according to the above method. The distance between the two splints of the discrete phase outlet joint is h=0.3 mm, and the distance between the microchannel outlet and the lower side of the discrete phase outlet joint is 1.3 mm. In this example, two channels (the third channel and the sixth channel) are used to prepare droplets at the same time. In this example, the flow rate of deionized water is set to 5 mL / h as required. Turn on the syringe pump and adjust to the stated flow.

[0050] (3) After the deionized water rea...

[0051] Example 2 Determination of critical flow rate of mechanism transition during single-channel droplet preparation

[0052] (1) The continuous phase is silicone oil plus 5% Dow Corning 749, and the discrete phase is deionized water plus a small amount of rhodamine b. The viscosity of water is 1.005 mPa·s, the surface tension between the silicone oil and water is about 2 mN / m, and the inner diameter of the channel is 500 microns.

[0053] (2) A preparation device for producing single-component droplets according to the above method. The distance between the two splints of the discrete phase outlet joint is h=0.3 mm, and the distance between the microchannel outlet and the lower side of the discrete phase outlet joint is 1.3 mm.

[0054] (3) In this example, a single channel is used to prepare droplets, and the flow rate is between 2mL / hr and 66mL / hr to take a value every 4mL / hr. The obtained droplet size is as follows Figure 8 shown. It can be seen that when the flow ra...

[0055] Example 3 Preparation of two-component aqueous phase droplets

[0056] (1) Select the continuous phase as silicone oil, add 5% mass fraction of surfactant (Dow Corning 749) to the silicone oil, and put it in a continuous phase container. The first discrete phase was chosen to be deionized water with a small amount of rhodamine b added and loaded into a syringe. The second discrete phase was chosen to be deionized water with a small amount of Nile blue added and loaded into another syringe.

[0057] (2) A preparation device for making two-component droplets according to the above method. The distance between the two splints of the discrete phase outlet joint is h=0.3 mm, and the distance between the microchannel outlet and the lower side of the discrete phase outlet joint is 1.3 mm. In this example, two channels are used to prepare two-component droplets, and the two channels are respectively connected with deionized water containing rhodamine b and deionized water con...

Abstract

The invention discloses a single / multiple-component droplet preparation device based on integrated micro-channels and a control method of the single / multiple-component droplet preparation device. The device comprises a micro-channel plastic film, a dispersed phase inlet joint, a dispersed phase outlet joint, a continuous phase container, an injection pump and the like, wherein one end of the micro-channel plastic film is connected with the dispersed phase inlet joint, the other end is connected with the dispersed phase outlet joint, the dispersed phase inlet joint is connected with the injection pump, and the dispersed phase outlet joint is immersed in the container filled with a continuous phase. A dispersed phase is pushed by the injection pump to flow and the flow is controlled, so that dispersed phase droplets can be generated in the continuous phase container. Monodispersed droplets can be generated rapidly with a large flux, multiple-component droplets can be prepared, and the device is expected to be applied to the fields of drug preparation, chemical synthesis, biomedicine and the like.
