Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microfluidic chips, and in particular relates to a microfluidic chip based on electrohydrodynamics, a micro-volume spotting device and a method. Background technique [0002] Droplet generation technology is an important branch of microfluidic chip technology. Droplet-based microfluidic chip technology is compatible with numerous chemical and biological reagents and "electronic control", and has good programmability and constructability. The microfluidic chip droplet generation platform enables precise control and rapid mixing of samples in droplets, thereby reducing reaction time. Since microfluidic chip droplet technology can precisely control the generation and manipulation of droplets, and produce uniform monodisperse droplets, it has become a high-throughput platform for biomedical and chemical research. The generated droplet size is nL and pL level, which can be used as a reactor to directly synthesize part...
