Referring to Fig. 2, show that the present invention is based on the front views of micro-fluidic chip one embodiment made from the above method.Such as
Shown in figure, micro-fluidic chip includes porous media substrate 1, flow path wall 2 and valve region 3, and flow path wall 2 surrounds and forms runner, valve
Runner is divided into mutually disconnected conversion zone 101 and detection zone 102 by door region 3.
The invention also discloses a kind of liquid flow control methods based on above-mentioned micro-fluidic chip, comprising the following steps:
Reagent is added in conversion zone 101, after the reagent of conversion zone 101 has completely reacted or is thoroughly mixed, removes valve
The wax in door region 3, reagent can be detected from 101 flow detection region 102 of conversion zone.
The method that valve is removed in the present embodiment is to apply the solvent that can dissolve wax to valve, and solvent can be acetone, isopropyl

Referring to Fig. 5, influence schematic diagram of the valve transparency of the present invention to valve barriering effect is shown.Before valve preparation
It needs first to draw out design drawing, then valve is printed on porous media substrate according to the pattern on design drawing, wherein designing
Each region has different transparencies on figure, and the wax of the higher region printing of transparency is fewer, i.e. the transparency of design drawing (can also
Referred to as valve transparency) it is inversely proportional with the wax amount printed, as shown, the wax amount of printing is fewer, then the wax of valve region is fewer,
The obstructing capacity of valve is weaker, but solvent volume needed for dissolving valve is fewer;Conversely, the wax amount of printing is more, valve area
Domain wax is more, and the obstructing capacity of valve is stronger, and solvent volume needed for dissolving valve is more.On the other hand, the barrier energy of valve
Power is also by the effect length of valve, and valve length is longer, and obstructing capacity is stronger, i.e. the longer valve of length, allows less wax
Amount, however the wax measurer has lower limit, i.e., after wax amount is less than setting value, even if increasing valve length cannot guarantee that with enough
Obstructing capacity.
Usage mode in conjunction with Fig. 2, in the present embodiment are as follows: starch is added dropwise in the detection zone of micro-fluidic chip 102 first
Indicator, dropwise reaction object p-methyl benzenesulfonic acid and potassium iodide in nonoverlapping two zonules of 101 internal mutual of conversion zone, really
Two solvents are protected not contact.It is separated between conversion zone 101 and detection zone 102 by valve region 3.When detection,
Conversion zone 101 instills Potassiumiodate sample, and Potassiumiodate sample generates triiodo yin after sufficiently reacting with the reactant of conversion zone 101
Then ion removes the wax of valve region 3, the sample with triiodo anion flows into detection zone 102, anti-with starch indicator
It answers and develops the color.If not set valve, Potassiumiodate sample will flow into detection zone 102 before complete reaction, cause to generate
Triiodo anion amount substantially reduce, thus significantly reduced with the react length of colour developing of starch indicator, influence detection effect
Fruit.
