On the air chamber laminate 5. In the present embodiment, the flow channel laminate 4 and the gas chamber laminate 5 are made of PDMS and the substrate 3 is made of glass, but when implemented, the substrate 3, the flow channel laminate 4 and the gas chamber layer The material of the plate 5 is not limited thereto. The micro flow path 6 is recessed on the bottom surface of the flow channel laminate 4, and has a circular driving section 61, and a sampling section 62 extending between the driving section 61 and the sampling slot 202. a feed section 63 between the reservoir 2〇1 and the sampling section 62, and a water injection section 64 connected between the cleaning tank 2〇5 and the driving section 61, wherein the driving section 61 has a larger volume than the sampling section 62, The sampling section 62 has a sampling portion 621 connected between the driving section 61 and the feeding section 63, and a communicating portion 622 communicating between the feeding section 63 and the sampling slot 2〇. The gas chamber mechanism 7 is concave. It is disposed on the bottom surface of the air chamber laminate 5 and includes a circular driving air chamber 71 spaced above the driving portion 62, a space above the feeding & 63 and communicating between the driving air chamber 71 and the first air hole. The first valve gas is 72, and a second valve plenum 73 is disposed above the communication portion 201020544 of the sampling section 62 and communicates with the first air hole 2〇4. The driving plenum 71 has a circular plenum portion π above the driving section 61, and a left and right extending communication between the venting portion 712 of the plenum portion 711 and the first door plenum 72 and the volume of the communicating portion 712 It is smaller than the air chamber portion 711 and the first valve chamber Ί1. The flow channel laminate 4 has an elastic film-like driving portion 41 that defines a top edge of the driving portion 61 and is covered by the driving chamber to the air chamber portion 71 of the driving portion 71, and a blade is integrally formed from the bottom surface of the 5H driving portion 41. Projecting into the driving section 61 and abutting against the top abutting portion 42 of the top surface of the substrate 3, an elastic film-like first valve portion 43 between the feeding section 63 and the first valve plenum 72, and a sampling section The second valve portion 44 of the elastic film shape between the communication portion 622 of the 62 and the second valve chamber 73. The driving portion 41 can be elastically pushed and deformed by the high-pressure gas poured into the air chamber portion 711 to protrude into the driving portion 61. The first valve portion 43 can be poured into the first valve air chamber 72. The high pressure gas is elastically pushed and deformed downwardly and elastically protrudes downward and hermetically seals the feed section 63. The second valve portion 44 can be elastically depressed by the high pressure gas poured into the second valve chamber 73. The deformation is pushed, and the communication portion 622 of the sampling section 62 is elastically protruded downward and hermetically sealed. As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, when the microfluidic chip 2 is used, the first air hole 203 and the second air hole 204 are respectively connected to a pneumatic pressure source (not shown), and the air pressure source is programmed to control the air pressure source. The microfluidic wafer 2 is primed and released at a timing of 'high pressure gas' and the opening of the cleaning tank 205 is first hermetically sealed. When the microfluidic wafer 2 is to be used for the micro liquid, it is first 201020544 through the pores 203, 204, the squatting station 2, 4 knives, the valve chambers v72, 73 and the first The driving chamber 71 of the valve chamber 72 is filled with high-pressure gas, and the gray portion shown in Fig. 3 is the upper part of the body, and the first valve portion 43 and the driving portion 41 of the money board 4 are respectively elastically extended downward. And respectively closing the feeding section 63 and the plug in the driving section 61 and driving the second door closing part 44 to elastically protrude the connecting portion 622 of the sampling section 62, and then the sample to be sampled The sample solution 9 is placed in the reservoir 2〇1. ',,, then, according to the predetermined sampling amount, the high pressure gas in the first valve plenum 72 and the driving plenum 71 is partially released via the first air hole 2〇3, as shown in FIG. 4, through the first valve is controlled. The time during which the high pressure gas of the air chamber 72 and the driving air chamber 71 is released is adjusted to the extent that the first valve portion 43 and the driving portion 41 are elastically retracted upwardly, respectively, because the communication portion 712 of the driving air chamber 71 is far away. The gas chamber portion 711 and the first valve chamber 72 are smaller than the first valve chamber 711, so that the high pressure gas of the first valve chamber 72 and the chamber portion 711 of the driving chamber 71 are sequentially released, so that the first valve portion 72 is first Partially upwardly elastically retracts the complex, and partially opens the feed section 63, so that the feed section 63 communicates with the liquid storage tank 201 and the sampling section 62', and the high gas in the gas chamber portion 711 is also partially localized. Release, and interlocking causes the driving portion 41 to partially retract the complex shape and generate a negative pressure suction force in the sampling section 02, and the negative pressure suction force will discharge a predetermined volume of the sample liquid in the liquid storage tank 2Ό1. The helium is drawn into the sampling section 62 via the pan feed section 63. Then, the high pressure gas of the second valve plenum 73 is released, and the communication portion 622' of the sampling section 62 is opened to connect the sampling section 62 with the sampling tank 2〇2, as shown in FIG. 5, and simultaneously through the first air hole 203. The first door plenum 72 201020544 and the driving plenum 71 are filled with high pressure gas, and the first valve plenum 72 and the driving plenum 71 are filled with high pressure gas in a time difference, and the first valve door portion 43 can be hermetically sealed. After the feed section 63, the sample liquid 900 that has been sucked into the sampling section 621 of the sampling section 62 is pushed to the sampling tank 202 by the positive pressure thrust generated by the driving portion 41 protruding downward into the driving section 61. in. Finally, the second valve chamber 73 is filled with high-pressure gas, forcing the second valve portion 44 to be hermetically sealed between the sampling section 62 and the sampling tank 2〇2, and sampling and feeding of the trace liquid is completed. After the micro-sampling of the liquid is completed, the cleaning tank 2〇5 can be opened, @ and the cleaning liquid is injected into the cleaning tank 205, and the high-pressure gas is perfused and released through the gas chamber portion 7 to drive the cleaning. The cleaning liquid in the tank 2〇5 flows along the microchannel 62, thereby cleaning the microchannel 62, so that the microfluidic wafer 2 can be reused after cleaning, but in practice, the cleaning tank 2〇5 is not necessary. As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 6 , the microfluidic wafer 2 is subjected to a graph of the sampling amount of the small liquid corresponding to the release time of the high pressure gas that drives the gas chamber 71. As can be seen from the drawing, the microfluidic wafer 2 can be electrically operated. The use of the trace amount of liquid 'has been well reproducible, and its sample size can be as small as 0 05 ///.
