Abstract

The invention discloses a liquid drop capturing chip. The liquid drop capturing chip comprises a plurality of fluid micro channels arranged in parallel, wherein a plurality of liquid drop capturing structures are formed along the fluid micro channels at intervals; the liquid drop capturing structures comprise liquid drop entering ends and inhibition liquid drop flowing-out ends; and the inhibition liquid drop flowing-out ends are communicated with the adjacent fluid micro channels. The invention further discloses a fully integrated digital PCR chip based on a seaweed gel liquid drop and application thereof. The digital PCR chip based on the seaweed gel liquid drop, disclosed by the invention, can finish the full process from the generation of liquid drops to capture of the liquid drops and to the detection of the liquid drops. And moreover, seaweed gels are introduced; after the seaweed gels are solidified, the seaweed gel liquid drops are stable, cannot be fused and cannot affect the PCR amplification efficiency; and the method can be applied to the detection of circulating tumor DNA in the blood and other related biology and medical sciences; and due to the introduction of the seaweed gels, the application can be further expanded to single cell analysis and so on.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microfluidics, and particularly relates to a digital PCR chip based on seaweed gel droplets and its application. Background technique [0002] Microfluidic technology is one of the cutting-edge fields of science and technology with multiple disciplines. It has a series of characteristics such as small size, high efficiency, high integration, fast analysis speed, and low price. Droplet microfluidics is an important branch of microfluidic technology. The microfluidic droplet system provides a potential tool for single cell analysis. Using the microfluidic system, single cells can be quickly segmented and high-throughput parallel observations Detection. The use of microfluidic droplets for cell culture is already a relatively mature technology. The use of specific microchannel designs such as capture arrays, culture chambers, and microwell arrays to fix microdroplets can achieve online cell culture. The relativ...
