14. A method of mixing liquids in a microfluidic device, the method comprising:
-
preparing a microfluidic device comprising; a reaction chamber comprising an inlet through which gas or liquid flows into the reaction chamber; and a first gas providing unit and a liquid providing unit which are connected to the inlet in a fluid communicable manner; blocking the inflow of a first gas supplied by the first gas providing unit and supplying a first liquid to the reaction chamber, wherein the first liquid is supplied by the liquid providing unit; blocking the inflow of the first gas supplied by the first gas providing unit and supplying a second liquid to the reaction chamber, wherein the second liquid is supplied by the liquid providing unit; generating air bubbles by blocking the inflow of liquids supplied by the liquid providing unit, and supplying the first gas to the reaction chamber, wherein the first gas is supplied by the first gas providing unit; and mixing the first liquid and the second liquid by using the air bubbles. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A method of forming an emulsion in a microfluidic device, the method comprising:
-
preparing a microfluidic device comprising; a reaction chamber comprising an inlet through which gas or liquid flows into the reaction chamber; and a first gas providing unit and a liquid providing unit which are connected to the inlet in a fluid communicable manner; blocking the inflow of a first gas supplied by the first gas providing unit and supplying a first phase liquid to the reaction chamber, wherein the first phase liquid is supplied by the liquid providing unit; blocking the inflow of the first gas supplied by the first gas providing unit and supplying a second phase liquid to the reaction chamber, wherein the second phase liquid is supplied by the liquid providing unit; generating air bubbles by blocking the inflow of liquids supplied by the liquid providing unit and supplying the first gas to the reaction chamber, wherein the first gas is supplied by the first gas providing unit; and forming an emulsion of the first phase and second phase liquids by the air bubbles. - View Dependent Claims (17)
