[0003] In the related art, the microfluidic chip mainly includes a body, a plurality of reaction channels are arranged on the body, and each reaction channel has two reaction zones in sequence, and the two reaction zones have lyophilized reagents and antigens and antibodies in the two reaction zones respectively. When in use, a syringe is used to extract a detection sample from a test tube and then inject it into each reaction channel in sequence. The detection sample flows in the reaction channel and combines with the lyophilized reagents and antigens and antibodies in the reaction channel in sequence, and finally a LAMP or other type of detector is used to scan the combined substance to complete the detection.

[0004] For the above related technology, the applicant finds that the detection sample is mainly pushed into the reaction channel by the pushing force of the syringe.
