Abstract

The invention discloses a micro valve system and method for generating and controlling parking air bubbles. The micro valve system comprises a liquid runner, a water repelling gas-permeable layer, an air pressure control channel and at least one parking air bubble generating cavity, wherein the air pressure control channel and the liquid runner are distributed in parallel and do not communicate with each other; the water repelling gas-permeable layer is located between the air pressure control channel and a micro fluid channel; the inner wall, on one side of the liquid runner, of the water repelling gas-permeable layer is provided with the parking air bubble generating cavities which are of concave structures formed in the inner walls of the water repelling gas-permeable layer; and the apex angles of the cross sections of the parking air bubble generating cavities are smaller than the flowing advancing contact corners of liquid in the liquid runner. According to the method, the parking air bubbles generated in a micro runner serve as a micro valve of a micro flow control chip, the gas pressure intensity in the channels is controlled by controlling the air pressure, then the shape and dimension of the parking air bubbles are controlled, and circulation or blocking of the liquid runner is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of microfluidic chips, in particular to a microvalve system for generating and controlling parking bubbles and a method for generating and controlling them. Background technique [0002] Microfluidic technology or microfluidics (Microfluidics) is a scientific and technological system that operates and processes microfluids at the micron scale, and is derived from Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS, Micro Electro-Mechanical System).
