AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing gene sequencers consume large amounts of reagents and occupy significant space due to complex pipeline layouts with multiple intersecting pipelines.
Method used
A confluence fluid structure with a microchannel plate featuring a common channel and branches, controlled by valves, reduces reagent consumption and space by integrating a sink body structure that includes a microchannel plate with branch inlets and outlets, and a valve system to manage fluid flow.
Benefits of technology
The solution achieves low reagent consumption, reduces system size and weight, and ensures easy operation with excellent anti-cross-contamination capabilities.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a fluid confluence structure and a gene sequencer, which belong to the field of detection equipment. The fluid confluence structure includes a microchannel plate and a valve. A microchannel is arranged inside the microchannel plate, and the microchannel includes a common channel and a plurality of branches connected to the common channel. The valve is arranged at the junction of the common channel and the branch, and one valve is arranged corresponding to each branch to control the connection and disconnection of the common channel and the branch. The gene sequencer includes the above-mentioned fluid confluence structure. By arranging the microchannel in the microchannel plate, the reagent consumption is low and the use cost is low; the arrangement of the microchannel plate omits many external pipelines, and the volume is small, the weight is light, and the space occupied is small; the valve is used to control the connection and disconnection of the common channel and the branch, and is easy to operate, so that the multiple branches are independent of each other and have excellent anti-cross-contamination ability.
