The present invention provides an integrated droplet chip, including a chip body, the chip body has a reaction chamber, a sample adding chamber, droplet generating structure, oil-liquid interface, gas-liquid interface and fluorescence detection area; when the droplet is generated, a pressure difference is formed between the sampling chamber and the gas-liquid interface and between the oil-liquid interface and the gas-liquid interface, and the pressure difference respectively drives a sample in each sample adding chamber and generation oil of the oil-liquid interface to enter the droplet generating structure, so as to generate droplets, which then enter the reaction chamber; and during droplet detection, an external pressure drives detection pushing oil to enter the reaction chamber, such that the droplets flow from the reaction chamber to the droplet generating structure, the external pressure drives detection separation oil to enter the droplet generating structure, and the detection separation oil separates the droplets which flow from the reaction chamber to the droplet generating structure, so as to form queues, which then enter the fluorescence detection area. In the present invention, by means of time division multiplexing of a droplet generating structure, droplet generation, amplification and detection are integrated onto one chip, thereby realizing a fully-integrated and fully-closed digital PCR process.
An integrated droplet chip, characterized in that it comprises a chip body (1), the chip body (1) has a reaction chamber (11) and a sample adding chamber (12), and said chip body (1) being constructed with droplet generating structure, oil-liquid interface (31), gas-liquid interface (32) and fluorescence detection area (33), the gas-liquid interface (32) communicates with the reaction chamber (11), and the sample adding chamber (12) communicates with the droplet generating structure, and the oil-liquid interface (31) communicates with the droplet generating structure:
