MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES FOR GENERATING POLYMER-BASED MICRODROPLETS AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THEM USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A microfluidic chip for generating polymer-based microdroplets is provided to form a large amount of microdroplets with a uniform size and shape, in which microorganisms are transduced through a multi-parallel channel process using a high density microstructure. CONSTITUTION: A microfluidic chip (110) for generating polymer-based microdroplets comprises: three oil inlets (101,103,105) for injecting oil; two solution inlets (102,104) for injecting a solution containing water, a sample, and monomers; a droplet generation unit (110) which generates polymer-based microdroplets by connecting five channels (101',102',103',105') connected to each oil inlet and each solution inlet; and a droplet outlet (120) which discharges the polymer-based microdroplets through a droplet discharge channel (120').
