液珠操控是一門新興的微流體操控技術,應用到生物晶片的發展上,更有著不同於以往的優勢,如簡易的時序控制、更微量的檢體/試劑消耗、單一晶片設計可應用於不同的實驗需求等。儀器科技研究中心近年來深耕於液珠操控技術的研究,陸續發展出「蓮葉效應圖紋自驅式晶片」及「電濕潤數位流體晶片系統」,對於國內在微流體生醫晶片的發展,有著不可忽略的貢獻。
Droplet controlling is an emerging microfluidics controlling technology with former superiority while applying to the field of the bio-chip, like simpler sequential control, less sample/reagent consumption, and the sole chip design may apply to different experimental demand and so on. In recent years, Instrument Technology Research Center (ITRC) had made an effort in this field, and developed「lotus effect texture self-controlling chip」 and 「electrowetting based digital microfluidics system」 in succession. These technologies would have a good few help to the domestic industry.
