Abstract:
1. A microfluidic chip, comprising: a main body, which is made of a transparent material and is provided with a serpentine-winding shape microchannel for containing a fluid flowing therein; and an electrode layer, provided with a heater wire around one side of the microchannel and a sensor wire around the other side of the microchannel, said heater wire being disposed around one side of said microchannel of said main body, said sensor wire being disposed on the other side of said microchannel of said main body, said heater wire being used to heat said fluid in said microchannel, and the temperature of said fluid being sensed by said sensor wire, wherein the length of the heater wire and the length of the sensor wire are substantially coextensive with the length of the microchannel, said heater wire and said sensor wire extending beyond the length of the microchannel to the edge of the main body.
