ADVANCES IN APPLICATION OF MICROFLUIDIC CHIP TECHNOLOGY IN WATER ANALYSIS

Abstract

Abstract: Microfluidic chip technology applied in water analysis has attracted growing attention in recent years, due to its characteristics such as low consumption of sample and reagent, short analysis time, and great potential in multi-parameter detection, automation, integration and portability. Through the introduction of the development in component materials, fabrication methods, driving and control techniques, detection methods of microfluidic technology, the challenges on making microfluidic chip more portable, integrated and real-time are summarized. The applications of microfluidic chip in water detection of organics, nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients, metals, bacteria and microorganisms are discussed, and the prospect of its development is prospected.

Key words: microfluidic chip, chemical oxigen demand, organics, heavy metals, microorganism
