Microfluidic chip and a related method thereof

摘要

A microfluidic chip includes a plurality of reagent sources for a feeding a plurality of reagents, each reagent source feeding a corresponding reagent among the plurality of reagents. A macro-chamber receives one or more reagents among the plurality of reagents from the plurality of reagent sources. A microfluidic reactor is coupled to the macro-chamber and the plurality of reagent sources and configured to receive two or more reagents among the plurality of reagents from at least one of the macro-chamber, the plurality of reagent sources, and react the two or more reagents to generate a reaction content.

1. A microfluidic chip, comprising:
a plurality of reagent sources for a feeding a plurality of reagents, each reagent source feeding a corresponding reagent among the plurality of reagents; a macro-chamber having a funnel shape and oriented along a vertical direction, and configured to process one or more reagents among the plurality of reagents from the plurality of reagent sources on a macro scale where a plurality of macro effects comprising gravity and mass dominate over a plurality of micro effects comprising viscosity and surface tension; a microfluidic reactor coupled to the macro-chamber and the plurality of reagent sources and configured to process two or more reagents among the plurality of reagents from at least one of the macro-chamber, the plurality of reagent sources, and to enable contact of the two or more reagents to generate a reaction; a product chamber; a fluid chamber; a waste chamber; and a plurality of flow control valves coupled to flow paths formed between the microfluidic reactor and the product chamber, the microfluidic reactor and the fluid chamber; and the microfluidic reactor and the waste chamber.
