The invention generates liquid drops with controllable size through liquid drop printing, and then the substrate full of the liquid drops is placed on a microscope for detection and counting of fluorescent signals. The method can avoid sample pollution, improves the simplicity of experimental operation, and provides a new direction for full-automatic digital PCR.
In summary, the invention utilizes the microfluidic droplet printing system to carry out digital PCR detection, can generate the droplet with controllable and adjustable droplet size and array in a non-closed environment by precisely controlling the movement of the electric moving table, the air valve pressure and the like in the droplet generation process, can realize the integrated operation of droplet generation, amplification and detection without an additional digital PCR detection device, and avoids the problems of sample pollution and droplet fusion caused by the existing split type multi-step operation; in addition, because the on-line detection is realized, the fluorescent signal can be timely and effectively detected, and the problem that the fluorescent signal cannot be normally detected due to time lapse is avoided.
