[0048] This embodiment provides a microfluidic PCR chip that integrates nucleic acid extraction, purification, amplification, and detection. Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the microfluidic PCR chip includes a body 1 with multiple functional cavities, a rotating chamber 3 rotatably arranged in the body 1, and a piston 13 for driving the flow of liquid.
