Description

Droplet micro-fluidic chip
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of tiny droplet flow control, in particular to a droplet micro-fluidic chip.
Background
The droplet microfluidics is a new technology for manipulating tiny droplets, and mainly utilizes the interaction between flow shear force and surface tension to divide and separate continuous fluid into discrete nano-liter or even smaller-volume droplets. Compared to continuous flow technology, droplet microfluidics has many advantages, such as: the liquid drop has small volume, reduced reagent consumption, no diffusion among liquid drop samples, stable reaction environment, and can avoid cross contamination among samples, etc. The micro-droplets can be used as an ideal micro-reactor and are widely applied to various fields such as biology, chemistry, medicine, food industry and the like at present. The generation of liquid drops is an important prerequisite of the liquid drop microfluidic technology, and the generation of micro liquid drops mainly adopts an active mode and a passive mode at present. The active mode mainly utilizes external field driving forces such as mechanical disturbance, sound, light, electricity, temperature, magnetic field and the like to change the natural flow characteristics of the liquid, thereby effectively controlling the generation of micro liquid drops and realizing the accurate control of the liquid drops. The passive mode does not need to apply any external force, and generates micro-droplets depending on the channel configuration and the fluid flow characteristics of the chip. Compared with an active mode, the passive mode for preparing the liquid drops has the advantages of simplicity in manufacturing, high speed, high flux, simplicity in operation and the like, and can provide a reliable and controllable environment for generating the monodisperse liquid drops.
The active mode drives microfluid in a non-contact way, so that the liquid drop control is more flexible, but the problems of complex manufacture, high requirement on external equipment, high manufacturing cost, limitation of the control range by the conditions of a sample or the equipment and the like exist. For example, although the generation of micro droplets can be flexibly controlled by adding an electric field or a thermal field, the molecular structure of substances contained in the droplets can be influenced or even destroyed by a high-voltage electric field or a high temperature; in the electrowetting method, a microelectrode needs to be integrated on a chip, and a programmable microelectrode switch control system is configured, so that the requirement on a chip system is high. In addition, the microelectrodes may interfere with or contaminate the contents of the droplet, for example, the contents of the droplet may be deposited on the microelectrodes, and the electrical signal may affect the biocompatibility of the biomolecule (DNA or protein). The three most common channels in the passive mode are the T-type, coaxial flow and focused flow channels. Wherein T-channel is the simplest and earlier proposed microfluidic device for controllable generation of droplets; the liquid drops generated in the coaxial flow channel are stable and uniform in size, and contact pollution between the dispersed phase in the liquid drops and the channel wall can be avoided; the liquid drops generated in the focusing flow channel are more stable, easy to operate and wide in application range, and micro liquid drops which are uniformly distributed and have the same shape can be prepared in one step. However, T-channels suffer from contamination of the droplets from contact with the channel walls, and the droplet size generation range based on a single type of channel is still relatively limited. For example, in a coaxial flow channel, when the capillary number of a continuous phase or the weber number of a dispersed phase is higher than a certain critical value, the flow of the dispersed phase can present a jet flow mode, and at the moment, a jet liquid column has the problem that the jet liquid column is thick or thin and cannot be broken to generate liquid drops.
