Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of droplet microfluidics, in particular to a microdroplet capture microfluidic structure based on a hydrophilic and hydrophobic patterned surface, a chip having the same, and a capture / release method. Background technique [0002] Microfluidic technology is a technology for manipulating fluids at the micro-nano scale. It can integrate basic operation units such as sample processing, biochemical reactions, analysis and detection involved in biology, chemistry and other fields on a chip with a size of several square centimeters. It can not only greatly reduce the consumption of reagent samples, etc., but also significantly improve the efficiency and throughput of the reaction. As an important branch of microfluidic technology, droplet microfluidic technology is mainly used to produce trace amounts (10 -5 ~10 -9 L) Liquid cells, ie microdroplets, to perform experimental manipulations. The microdroplets are i...
