Specific embodiments
The following examples will give further instruction to the present invention in conjunction with Figure of description.
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of the liquid storage part of a kind of micro-fluidic chip provided by the invention, liquid capsule D in this micro-fluidic chip is sealed among the liquid storage cavity B, because liquid capsule size greater than the passage A of micro-fluidic chip, can be limited in the liquid storage cavity by the microchannel when therefore preserving.During use, rely on external force, make the breakage of liquid capsule, thereby the liquid reagent C that is stored in liquid capsule inside is released then, enters the microchannel.
The micro-fluidic liquid storage chip of 1 one kinds of single liquid capsules of embodiment
A kind of micro-fluidic liquid storage chip that present embodiment provides, structure as shown in Figure 2, liquid reagent C ' is stored and is sealed in the glass metal capsule B ', whole liquid capsule then is restricted to micro-fluidic chip A ' inside.During use, adopt and knock mode, it is broken that the glass metal capsule is taken place, thereby make liquid reagent C ' be discharged in the micro-fluidic chip.
Present embodiment provides a kind of micro-fluidic memory cell of single liquid capsule, and by liquid storage unit like the different parts design class in micro-fluidic chip, the storage and the location that then can be implemented in different liquids reagent in the micro-fluidic chip discharge.
The micro-fluidic liquid storage chip of bag type biliquid capsule in 2 one kinds of the embodiment
The micro-fluidic liquid storage chip of a kind of double reagent that present embodiment provides, structure as shown in Figure 3, the liquid capsule c that comprises liquid reagent 2 is stored and is sealed in liquid capsule b and the reagent 1, whole liquid capsule b then is restricted to micro-fluidic chip a inside.During use, adopt and knock mode, it is broken that liquid capsule b and c are taken place, thereby make mixing material reagent be discharged in the micro-fluidic chip.
