Abstract: A liquid storage and controlled-release device and a biological detection chip. The liquid storage and controlled-release device comprises a liquid storage capsule with a liquid storage body which is deformable under a pressure, and a sealing layer for sealing the liquid storage body. A support platform is provided right below the liquid storage capsule and tightly connected with the liquid storage capsule, wherein, a directional release chamber is provided at the middle of the support platform, and the directional release chamber is provided with a guiding chamber for collecting the liquid and a sharp edge for inducing break. Compared with the conventional technology, the opening for liquid release is at the end far away from the rotation center, so that the liquid can be released completely by the centrifugal force, ensuring the quantitative release of stored liquid and reducing the influence on the accuracy of the subsequent detection.

Abstract: A valve system for driving fluid and a method for using the same are provided. The valve system includes a fluid unit far away from the rotation center, a fluid unit close to the rotation center, a fluid transferring unit and a gas path pipeline for communicating the fluid unit close to the rotation center with the fluid unit far away from the rotation center. A rotation radius of a fluid outlet of the fluid unit far away from the rotation center is greater than that of a fluid inlet of the fluid unit close to the rotation center. The fluid outlet of the fluid unit far away from the rotation center is located at an end thereof away from the rotation center, and the fluid inlet of the fluid unit close to the rotation center is located at an end thereof close to the rotation center.

Abstract: A multi-index detection microfluidic chip is provided. A bottom plate (1) and a cover plate (2) that matches the bottom plate (1) and seals it are provided in the microfluidic chip. The center of the microfluidic chip has a through-hole (3). The bottom plate (1) has one or more wave-shaped main channel(s) (4), one end of each of the main channel (4) connected to a sample injection hole (9) on the bottom plate (1), and the other end connected to an exhaust hole (10) on the bottom plate (1). The valley on the main channel (1) is distal to the through-hole (3), and the peak is proximal to the through-hole (3). Each valley of the main channel (1) is connected to a reaction chamber (6) by a linking channel (5). The linking channel (5) comprises one or more buffering chambers (7). The microfluidic chip can be used in detection by fluorescence, turbidity, color, detection equipment, and/or direct observation by the naked eyes. The detection is real-time as the reaction occurs or after the reaction.

Abstract: In one aspect, disclosed herein are methods for packaging biochips, including microfluidic chips. The method can comprise bonding a substrate and a cover slide, packaging the bonded chip, creating a vacuum in the package, and applying a pressure on the packaged chip. The method is particularly useful for minimizing bubble formation during low-cost and mass production of microfluidic chips.
