The sample introduction cup 11 communicates with the droplet collection cup 12 through the microfluidic fluid channel 100. The microfluidic fluid channel is provided therein with spacers 3 extending in the direction of the fluid in the microfluidic fluid channel.
The microfluidic slide 1 may be a hard microfluidic slide or a soft microfluidic slide. In the present application, a hard microfluidic chip such as a polymer chip, a glass chip, a silicon substrate chip, etc. is mainly used. The number of sample introduction cups 11 is not limited to 3 shown in the figure, but may be 1,2, 4 or more. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the size and shape of each sample introduction cup 11 may be the same or different. Referring to fig. 2, three sample cups 11 of the figure are shown with larger dimensions for the oil phase and the remaining two smaller dimensions for the continuous phase sample. The height of the drip-collecting cup 12 does not have to be identical to the height of the sample introduction cup 11. Referring to fig. 3-7, a sample introduction cup 11 communicates with a droplet collection cup 12 through a microfluidic fluid channel 100 in a body 10, and a spacer 3 is disposed within the microfluidic fluid channel 100. The material of the spacer 3 may be selected according to the requirement, and may be a metal material, and the selected material of the spacer 3 does not physically/chemically react with the sample or the oil phase in the microfluidic fluid channel 100. Referring to fig. 8, the microfluidic fluid channel 100 is formed at the bottom of the main body 10, and the bottom of the main body 10 is covered with the film 13 to seal the microfluidic fluid channel 100. The microfluidic fluidic channel 100 is bonded to the membrane layer 13 in two general ways: one is to bond the microfluidic fluidic channel 100 and the membrane layer 13 by a glue layer (such as PSA, etc.); and secondly, bonding the microfluidic fluid channel 100 and the membrane layer 13 through a thermocompression bonding process. In addition, the embodiment of the application has no specific requirements on the appearance, the size, the material and the shape and the size of the micro-flow channel of the microfluidic slide 1, so that the droplet generation function can be realized.
In this embodiment, by providing the spacer 3 in the microfluidic fluid channel 100, the size of the fluid flowing in the microfluidic fluid channel 100 can be limited, that is, the middle in the microfluidic fluid channel 100 is properly blocked by the spacer 3 to introduce air or external impurities, so as to prevent the air or impurities from directly flowing into the narrowest part in the microfluidic fluid channel 100 to block the microfluidic slide 1. And the spacer 3 can also effectively prevent the channel collapse of the microfluidic fluid channel 100.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 6, the spacer 3 has a strip shape.
The shape of the spacer 3 is a strip, so that air or external impurities introduced through the spacer 3 in the middle of the microfluidic fluid channel 100 can be effectively blocked, the quality of generated liquid drops is improved, and meanwhile, the damage rate of the microfluidic fluid channel 100 is reduced.
The spacers 3 may be continuous strips as shown in fig. 6, or a plurality of spacers 3 may be provided so as to extend at intervals, and the plurality of spacers 3 may extend in the same direction as the fluid and preferably at equal intervals.

Therefore, the plurality of spacers 3 are provided, and the plurality of spacers 3 are provided at predetermined intervals in the fluid direction, so that more air or impurities can be effectively flowed into the narrowest place in the microfluidic fluid channel 100 to block the microfluidic chip 1. The quality of the generated droplets is improved while the damage rate of the microfluidic fluid channel 100 is reduced.
Preferably, the spacer 3 is provided on the inner wall of the microfluidic fluid channel 100 in a convex shape.
The convex separator 3 is disposed on the inner wall of the microfluidic fluid channel 100 to block air or external impurities properly, thereby improving the quality of droplets and reducing the damage rate of the microfluidic fluid channel 100.

The oil phase reagent has the defect of easily blocking the slide glass due to the blocking impurities, and therefore, the separator 3 is arranged in the branch pipeline of the microfluidic fluid channel 100 connected with the continuous phase sample introduction cup 11a for containing the oil phase.
In addition, the tubing between the three-stream junction of sample introduction cup 11 and drop collection cup 12 may be designed as a serpentine shape.
In this embodiment, the substance (oil phase) contained in the continuous phase sample introduction cup 11a is easy to block, and the microfluidic channel 100 that is easy to block is properly blocked by the separator 3 from air or external impurities, so that the quality of the generated droplets is improved, and the damage rate of the microfluidic channel 100 is reduced.
