Fluid receiving chamber, microfluidic device including fluid receiving chamber, and fluid mixing method

摘要

A fluid receiving chamber including a fluid inlet hole through which a fluid flows from outside, an inner space which contains the fluid, a fluid supply hole through which the fluid flows from the fluid inlet hole to the inner space, and a fluid outlet hole through which the fluid contained in the inner space is discharged to the outside, where the fluid supply hole is disposed above the fluid outlet hole, and the fluid is supplied to the inner space through the fluid supply hole by gravity.

1. A fluid receiving chamber comprising:
an inner space delimited by a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, wherein the bottom surface has a funnel-like shape; a fluid supply hole in the top surface; a fluid inlet hole in a bottom end of the fluid receiving chamber through which a fluid is introduced from outside the fluid receiving chamber into the fluid receiving chamber; a micro channel which connects the fluid inlet hole to the fluid supply hole; a fluid outlet hole disposed at the lowest point of the bottom surface and extending through the bottom end of the fluid receiving chamber through which fluid in the inner space is discharged; wherein the fluid inlet hole and the fluid outlet hole are in the same plane; the fluid supply hole is disposed above the fluid outlet hole, and configured so that fluid supplied to the inner space through the fluid supply hole flows to the fluid outlet hole by gravity; and the fluid receiving chamber is configured to be used with a microfluidic device.
