A microfluidic chip for steam distillation includes a chip body and a condenser. The chip body includes a steam inlet and a steam outlet. The steam inlet is connected to the steam outlet by a micro channel. The micro channel includes a first channel, a second channel, and a receiving space having an enlarged cross sectional area larger than a cross sectional area of each of the first and second channels. The first channel connects the steam inlet with the receiving space. The second channel windingly connects the steam outlet with the receiving space. The condenser includes a condensing channel inlet and a condensing channel outlet. The condenser further includes a condensing channel windingly connecting the condensing channel inlet with the condensing channel outlet. The steam outletintercommunicates with the condensing channel inlet.

Microfluidic chip for steam distillation

The present invention provides a biochip image-forming system including a case having a cavity, an optical assembly, a chip-holding assembly and an electricity storage assembly. The cavity communicates with a chip inlet for a biochip to be inserted into the cavity through the chip inlet and an image outlet for an image of the biochip to be outputted from the cavity via the image outlet. The optical assembly is received in the cavity and aligned with the image outlet for forming the image of the biochip. The chip-holding assembly is received in the cavity and arranged between the optical assembly and a heating component. The chip-holding assembly aligns with the chip inlet for the biochip to be placed thereon. The electricity storage assembly is electrically connected with the optical assembly and the heating component. As such, a biochip can be analyzed conveniently using said biochip image-forming system.

A microfluidic mixing device includes a body having a base, a sealing cover, and a thermally conductive member. The base includes a compartment. A chip access opening is defined in an end of the compartment. An engagement opening is defined in the other end of the compartment. The base further includes a gas port intercommunicated with the compartment. The sealing cover is detachably mounted to the base to seal the chip access opening. The thermally conductive member is mounted to the base and seals the engagement opening. A gas passage is defined between the thermally conductive member and an inner periphery of the base, is located in the compartment, and intercommunicates with the gas port. A pressure control module is connected to the gas port of the base. A heating module is coupled to the thermally conductive member. A cooling module is coupled to the thermally conductive member.

A cell/particle analyzing device includes a light-emitting unit, a light-diverting unit, a first receiving unit and a second receiving unit. The light-emitting unit generates a first light beam. The light-diverting unit is connected to the light-emitting unit and has an input end, a bidirectional transceiving end and an output end. The input end receives the first light beam generated by the light-emitting unit. The bidirectional transceiving end transmits the first light beam generated by the light-emitting unit and receives a second light beam. The output end outputs the second light beam. The first receiving unit is connected to the output end of the light-diverting unit and receives the second light beam. The second receiving unit is aligned with the bidirectional transceiving end.

Real-time cell/particle analyzing device with optical detection and cell cultivation functions

An electromagnetic micro-pump includes a substrate, a top plate, a magnetic diaphragm, and a coil unit. The substrate includes a first face and a second face. The first face includes a groove. The top plate is mounted on the first face of the substrate. The top plate includes an input hole, an output hole, and a through-hole. Each of the input hole, the output hole, and the through-hole extends through the top plate and is in communication with the groove. The through-hole is between the input hole and the output hole. The magnetic diaphragm is elastically deformable and mounted to an outer face of the top plate to seal the through-hole. The coil unit is mounted to the second face of the substrate and aligned with the through-hole.
