Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the microfluidic field of analytical chemistry, in particular to a pressure-driven multi-channel droplet quantitative measuring device and measuring method. Background technique [0002] A droplet is a discontinuous fluid in which one phase of liquid is separated from another immiscible phase or multiphase liquid. Among them, the discontinuous phase that constitutes the droplets is called the dispersed phase, and the liquid that separates the droplets is called the continuous phase. In the field of microfluidics, the most common droplet system uses aqueous solution as the dispersed phase, and mineral oil or fluorine oil as the continuous phase, where the droplet volume is usually from picoliters to nanoliters. [0003] In the previous research, the inventor's research group developed a liquid droplet quantitative measurement and operation method. Through the cooperation of precision syringe pump, micro sampler and sharpened ca...
