  • Publication number: 20190120829
    Abstract: A mixing method for particle agglutination includes the following steps of: dropping testing materials into an accommodating recess at one end of a channel structure; pressing a flexible layer on the other end of the channel structure; and releasing the flexible layer to an initial position after pressing the flexible layer such that a negative pressure is generated by an air chamber that is covered by the flexible layer and draws the testing materials that are in the accommodating recess to move toward the air chamber along a diverging channel of the channel structure. The testing materials are mixed with each other in the diverging channel, in which the depth of the diverging channel is gradually increased from the accommodating recess to the air chamber.
