The invention provides a digital PCR (
Polymerase Chain Reaction) microdroplet generation device, and relates to the field of microdroplet generation. The digital PCR microdroplet generation device comprises a
liquid storage bin and a microflow plate which are communicated, the microflow plate is in an annular shape, a microflow channel is arranged in the microflow plate and used for circulating PCR reaction liquid, a cavity is further formed in the microflow plate, a microgroove is communicated between the cavity and the microflow channel,
inert gas is injected into the cavity, and the
inert gas is intermittently discharged from the microgroove; according to the digital PCR microdroplet generation device, the shearing
rhythm of PCR is controlled through intermittent exhaust of
inert gas, and the microgroove and the
microfluidic channel are intersected at an
acute angle, so that the size uniformity of the microdroplet is improved; a
gas separation layer can be formed to prevent droplet fusion; the method is low in cost, easy to obtain and high in adaptability; after the
inert gas cuts the PCR reaction liquid into the micro-droplets, the
inert gas can separate the micro-droplets and continuously restrain the spatial arrangement of the micro-droplets, so that the micro-droplets are prevented from being extruded mutually during flowing, the retention and fracture of the micro-droplets are reduced, the integrity of the micro-droplets is improved, and the effective
recovery rate of the micro-droplets is increased.
