Problems solved by technology

However, the adjustment of dielectrophoresis, the core technology of this method, is completed by an external signal generator. The purpose of blood cell separation is achieved by artificially adjusting the amplitude and frequency of the AC signal. The amplitude range of the electrical signal is limited by the signal generator. Its own characteristics, it is difficult to adjust flexibly

Abstract

The invention discloses a dielectrophoresis particle separation micro-fluidic chip. A micro-fluidic chip soft lithographic technique is used to acquire a micro-via and a micro-channel in certain shapes; by the aid of opening and closing of a plating solution electromagnetic valve, the inner wall of the micro-channel is locally gilded or slivered, forming a coating area; a coating electrode in the coating area and an electrified plane electrode form a closed non-uniform strong electric field area; variable electromagnetic force is applied over the coating electrode through a deformation control electromagnetic valve so as to cause deformation to the coating electrode, the electric field of the non-uniform strong electric field area changes in strength distribution, and electrophoretic force changes in distribution. By not adjusting an external signal source to change the amplitude of an external electric field but controlling the magnitude of the electromagnetic force of the deformation control electromagnetic valve, the field strength and electric field distribution of the non-uniform strong electric field area can be adjusted and dielectric particles different in property can be separated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of particle sorting, in particular to a dielectrophoretic particle sorting microfluidic chip. Background technique [0002] Microfluidic chip technology integrates basic operating units such as sample preparation, pretreatment, reaction, separation, and detection in biological and chemical analysis processes into a micron-scale chip, which can realize the transportation and mixing of fluids, micro-nano particles, or droplets. , Sorting, enrichment, logic operations and other operations are of great strategic significance to the development of life sciences and information sciences. Under a non-uniform electric field, micro-nano-scale dielectric particles (such as polymer particles, various cells, bacteria, viruses, DNA, droplets, etc.) The areas of strongest or weakest aggregation are called positive dielectrophoretic (pDEP) and negative dielectrophoretic (nDEP) effects, respectively. This technology has t...
