A microfluidic chip, a method for driving a microfluidic chip and an analysis apparatus are provided. An exemplary microfluidic chip includes a substrate; a number of M driving electrodes disposed on a side of the substrate and arranged along a first direction; and a number of N signal terminals electrically connected to the number of M driving electrodes. Any three adjacent driving electrodes are connected to different signal terminals, respectively; a number of A of the number of M driving electrodes are connected to a same signal terminal; and M, N and A are positive integers, and M≥4, N≥3, M>N, and A≥2.
