Background
Bedside rapid detection is one of the general trends of modern detection technologies, and at present, most analytes in biological samples including genes, proteins, sugar, elements and the like can be basically analyzed and detected by large-scale instruments or complicated manual operation, but because the manufacturing cost is high, the professional technical requirements are high, the popularization of the detection technologies is limited due to the high environmental requirements, and a plurality of analytes cannot be timely detected and analyzed, so that the development of science is limited; many samples cannot be subjected to on-site analysis and detection due to higher preservation conditions, so that the biological potential safety hazard cannot be found in time, and serious consequences are caused; on the other hand, with the development of expensive detection technology, the economic burden of systems or individuals such as medical treatment, public health, scientific research, patients and the like is increased.
Microfluidic analysis technology refers to a technology that integrates basic operation units such as sample preparation, reaction, separation, detection, etc. in biological, chemical, and medical analysis processes onto one micron-scale chip, and can automatically complete the whole analysis process. Compared with the common detection technology, the microfluidic chip has the advantages of high analysis efficiency, high accuracy, integration, flux activation, automation, energy conservation, environmental protection and the like. The microfluidic detection chip generally has the advantages of low sample consumption, high detection speed, simple and convenient operation, multifunctional integration, small size, portability and the like, so that the microfluidic detection chip has larger potential capability on reducing the overall detection cost, and is very suitable for the development of rapid bedside detection. In particular, the centrifugal microfluidic chip can well simplify the instrument and equipment by controlling the fluid by virtue of centrifugal force, and meanwhile, various valve control structures are designed in the disc-type chip. However, the fine micro valve structure is easy to generate batch-to-batch difference in batch processing and manufacturing, which affects repeatability, and more importantly, the existence of coriolis force and Europe pulling force in the centrifugal micro-fluidic chip can cause deviation of fluid drainage direction, which affects the final detection structure.

2. The chip structure is complex and needs to be modified locally, so that the processing cost and difficulty of the chip are increased, and meanwhile, the stability of the chip is reduced;
3. The simultaneous quantitative detection of multiple samples and multiple targets is realized in a single chip, more ingenious chip design is needed, the rapid detection of the multiple targets or the single targets of the single sample is still realized at present, and meanwhile, the distribution and the quantification of the samples cannot be well completed, so that the quantitative detection of analytes is difficult to realize;
4. The difficulty in simultaneous quantitative dispensing of multiple reagents and the difficulty in achieving adequate mixing of the dispensed, metered reagents on the microfluidic channel;
5. the coriolis force and euler force in the centrifugal chip drainage process deviate the direction of the fluid.
