A MICROFLUIDIC DEVICE FOR ELECTROCHEMICALLY REGULATING THE PH OF A FLUID THEREIN AND METHOD FOR REGULATING THE PH OF A FLUID IN A MICROFUIDIC DEVICE USING THE SAME

摘要

A microfluidic device is provided to electrochemically and rapidly regulate the pH of a fluid therein by using an ion-exchange material which forms a film simultaneously at the crosslinkage reaction. The microfluidic device comprises: an ion-exchange material(201) which is a cation exchange membrane or an anion exchange membrane; an anode chamber(203), one side of which is composed of one side of the ion-exchange material and has an anode electrode(205) on the edge thereof; and a cathode chamber(209), one side of which is composed of the other side of the ion-exchange material and has a cathode electrode on the edge thereof.
