A liquid discrete microfluidic chip and its application method

Abstract

A liquid discrete microfluidic chip and a method for using the same. The present invention provides a microfluidic chip, comprising: at least one reaction tank, a micro-reaction pool array is arranged in the reaction tank, and the micro-reaction pool array is used to fill the first liquid; at least one liquid pumping unit, and The reaction tank is connected to transmit the second liquid to the reaction tank and cover the first liquid; wherein, the first liquid and the second liquid are incompatible with each other. The microfluidic chip only needs two steps of sample addition (adding the first liquid and adding the second liquid), which can quickly and effectively realize the discretization of the liquid, avoiding too many manual operations in the process, and is simple and easy to use. Low personnel requirements. Moreover, the microfluidic chip has a simple structure, is easy to be integrated and automated, and is easy to realize industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of microfluidic technology, in particular to a liquid discrete microfluidic chip and its use method. Background technique [0002] In digital analysis and detection, such as digital PCR, it is necessary to discretize the sample solution, so that the original sample solution is split into several independent reaction units. The discretization of the sample solution is an extremely critical one in digital analysis and detection. step. However, in the existing technologies for filling liquids dispersedly into microchambers / micropores, there are usually the following disadvantages: some liquid dispersion methods have relatively cumbersome operation steps, and some liquid dispersion methods require skilled operators to achieve better liquid filling effects , which will make it difficult to integrate and automate this liquid discretization method, and will also affect the analysis and detection results. [0003] Therefore...
