New description: [New technical field] The creative system is a micro-channel structure that assists in the separation of fine particles. It is provided with a plurality of tooth-shaped units on at least one side of a main channel, by applying an electric field. A non-sequential electric field is generated in the main channel, causing different microparticle movements to generate vortices that alternate with the electric field change and effectively separate the microparticles. [Prior Art] Lu 22-speed biomedical detection technology is very important for the detection of human diseases. The faster the learning results are, the more treatment time can be obtained for patients. Therefore, the organisms made by MEMS technology are used. The chip can provide this demand. However, with the miniaturization, the micro-electromechanical process technology produced by the micro-electromechanical process technology, many of its components are very different from the large-scale system, the most notable of which is the characteristics of the fluid in the micro-pipe. As the dimension of the component becomes smaller, the Reynolds number Φ (Reyn〇lds number) when the fluid flows through the microchannel is very small, and its value is much lower than 2500 which can cause turbulent flow, so the fluid is not applied at all. In the case of external force, it can only flow in a laminar fi〇w manner. This feature plays a very important role in microfluidic wafers, such as: sample transfer, focusing, and sample flow switching, all relying on laminar flow, a stable flow field characteristic. However, its development in the field of microfluidic wafers has also brought about a problem that needs to be overcome, because in any biological reaction, it is necessary to effectively manipulate microparticles or cells in microchannels, including the extraction or separation of cells or particles. In order to improve the reaction analysis of the microfluidic wafer, the M332520 2 works to simplify the time and space required for biochemical analysis and to detect the flow and space requirements of the laminar flow. Therefore, the fluid can only be used by the micropipeline machine. Diffusion is used for separation, so it is often necessary to use micro-pipes or long diffusion times to achieve different kinds of micro-particles. However, this method reduces the advantages of miniaturization, lightness, shortness and fast separation. Therefore, how to perform rapid particle separation in micro-pipes has become an important research topic. [New content] This creation provides a micro-fluidic structure that assists in the separation of fine particles by conventional disadvantages. The toothed cells in the line are matched with the surface; the change in the zeta potential is used to manipulate the fluid in the main channel. The creation comprises: a main channel having an input end and an output end; a positive electrode located at the input end of the main channel; a negative electrode located at the output end of the main channel; wherein at least one side of the inner side of the main channel is provided A plurality of toothed units are formed at an acute angle by a tapered angle formed by the wall of the tube toward the axis of the main flow path. By applying an applied electric field, Bazha β causes the tapered surface of the toothed unit to generate a normal direction electric field component of the field leakage, forming a non-uniform electric field, so that the microparticles of the mainstream towel are polarized. Since the polarizations induced by the micro-particles with different dielectric coefficients are different, under the action of the non-uniform electric field, the movement of different micro-particles produces a vortex that alternates with the change of the electric field to effectively separate the micro-particles. ; M332520 The microfluidic structure of the above-mentioned auxiliary microparticle separation, wherein the toothed unit has a tapered angle of 30 degrees. The material of the above main channel is any one or a combination of a dielectric substance, a polyester or an acrylic resin. The material of the tapered portion of the toothed single crucible is non-uniformly distributed, and the tapered material of the toothed unit is formed at the end of the tapered portion to form a larger wall. VIII. This creation has the following advantages: 〃 1. This creation uses the toothed unit to form a non-uniform electric field to cause the movement of particles with different dielectric coefficients, and the vortices that alternate with the change of the electric field are concentrated in the electric field regions with different strengths and weaknesses. The speed of separating the particles is faster than the diffusion. 2. This creation can be widely applied to micro-channel wafers to improve the separation efficiency between different micro-particles, and to enhance the functionality and analysis accuracy of micro-channel wafers. _ 3. With the regulation of the electric field, it is no longer necessary to design another particle-collecting officer, which greatly shortens the space required for separation. [Embodiment] Referring to the first figure, the first embodiment of the present invention includes: a main channel (1) having an input terminal (11) and an output terminal (12); a positive electrode (not shown in the drawing) ), located at the input (11) of the main channel (1); a negative electrode (Fig. _ not shown) at the output (12) of the main channel (1); M332520 • inside the main 〃IL (1) At least one side is provided with a plurality of toothed single cymbals (2). In this example, a symmetrical toothed unit (1) is affixed on both sides of the main flow path (1), and the toothed unit (2) is composed of a pipe wall The tapered portion (a) formed toward the axis of the main channel (1) has an acute angle (a) which is an acute angle. In the present embodiment, the acute angle is 30 degrees. The width of the main channel (1) is paste, wherein the material of the main channel (1) is a dielectric substance, a polyester or an acrylic tree, a vinegar of any one or a combination thereof, and a tooth unit (2) The material distribution is a non-uniform distribution of the material at the tapered portion of the toothed unit (2) to form a heterogeneous zone (3) having a larger wall thickness at the tapered end, thereby improving the toothed unit (2) Surface heterogeneity, thereby enhancing the non-uniformity of the electric field. When it is implemented, connect the power supply and apply an electric field, and inject the fine particles into the entrance of the main channel (1). The remaining money of the actual _ towel includes: deionized water directly to the 3β m particles, and then the mainstream channel (1) Connect the power supply with voltage v to the main channel (1) to apply an electric field. Initially, it is a small electric field. In this embodiment, the value of the electric field is Cffl. After the electrolyte is filled with the entire Lu pipeline, The electric field is increased to the electric field 2. In this embodiment, the value of the electric field two is 380 V/cm. When the microparticles pass through the toothed unit (2), a reflow phenomenon is generated, and the applied electric field strength is adjusted, so that the microparticles are concentrated in different electric field regions to separate the microparticles. A second embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the second figure, is provided with a relatively staggered asymmetrical toothed unit (5) on both sides of the main flow path (4), the toothed unit (5) being directed from the tube wall toward the main channel The tapered portion formed by the axis has an angle of inclination (Θ!) which is an acute angle. In this embodiment, the acute angle is as follows, and the width of the main channel (4) is 400 "ra' where the main channel (4) Material is;
