A microfluidic chip system for generating droplets, comprising:
- a droplet generation device for generating the droplets;
- a power generation device for supplying a power to the droplet generation device, the power generation device comprising a main body, an operation portion, and a first limiting member, an end of the operation portion received in the main body, another end of the operation portion exposed from the main body and connected to the first limiting member;
- a collection container for collecting the droplets flowing out of the droplet generation device;
- a connection device connecting the droplet generation device, the power generation device, and the collection container to each other, and
- a preparation platform for supporting the droplet generation device, the power generation device, and the collection container, wherein the preparation platform comprises a base, the base defines a droplet generation device slot, a power generation device slot, and a first limiting slot, the base comprises a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a first sidewall connected between the first surface and the second surface, the droplet generation device slot and the power generation device slot are recessed from the first surface, the first limiting slot is recessed from the first surface and the first sidewall, the droplet generation device is received in the droplet generation device slot, the main body and the operation portion are received in the power generation device slot, and the first limiting slot is configured to receive the first limiting member and keep the first limiting member at a predetermined location.
