Abstract

The invention provides a droplet capture chip. The droplet capture chip has the beneficial effects that a plurality of droplet capture chambers are arranged in the droplet capture chip, so that droplets can directly undergo in situ amplification and in situ detection after being captured; droplet generation and droplet capture are integrated on one microfluidic chip, so that convenient and rapid totally integrated automation detection is achieved, the intermediate links can be reduced and the analysis speed can be increased; the imaging information of the droplet capture chip is directly captured with a CCD (charge-coupled device), the CCD is simple and is easy to operate, and the accuracy rate of the obtained result is high; high-sensitivity detection can be achieved by scanning each fixed droplet by laser-induced fluorescence; the droplet capture chip and the microfluidic chip can make up for the deficiency of the detection technology of existing blood circulation DNA mutation, can achieve more sensitive simultaneous detection of multiple mutations and have great significance in increasing the clinical application value of blood circulation DNA in tumor diagnosis and therapy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a chip, in particular to a droplet capture chip and a microfluidic chip. Background technique [0002] Microfluidic chip technology is a rapidly developing high-tech and one of the frontier fields of multidisciplinary interdisciplinary technology. It is an important technology platform for signal detection in life sciences, chemical sciences and information sciences. It refers to the integration of basic operating units such as sample preparation, reaction, separation, and detection involved in the fields of biology and chemistry into a chip of several square centimeters (or even smaller), and a network of microchannels is formed to control fluid flow. A technology that replaces various functions of a conventional biological or chemical laboratory throughout the system. After two decades of development, the microfluidic chip laboratory has been listed as one of the most important cutting-edge technologies in the world in the 2...
