Abstract

A microfluid-based microballoon preparation method adopts a microfluid channel system to lead a colloidal solution or a pre-polymer solution to form liquid drips in a mobile phase. The formation of the liquid drip-based template is used for bioanalysis and polymeric micro spheres of protein, gene and drug screening carrier. The preparation method includes the following steps: preparation of the microfluid channel: establishing a microfluid channel network by adopting the micro-machining technology or connecting a T-shaped channel with a pinhead, a polymer pipe and a tee joint (the channel is provided with two inlets, namely, a dispersed phase inlet and a continuous phase inlet and an outlet); preparation of the liquid drip template: encasing the two phase solutions of a dispersed phase solution and a continuous phase solution respectively into a pin case, connecting with the respective inlet, digital controlling an ejector jet pump to control the velocity of flow of the two phase solutions and acquiring even and stable liquid drip template from the outlet; preparation of the microballoon: drying and solidifying the liquid drip template and removing the impurities on the surface or inside to acquire a polymer microballoon according with the requirement of bioanalysis and protein, gene and drug screening carrier.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing microspheres based on microfluidics. In the preparation method, liquid droplets are formed through the shear force and surface tension of the continuous phase liquid on the dispersed phase liquid, and then solidified and dried to form polymer microspheres that meet the carrier requirements of biological analysis and protein, gene, drug screening, etc. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of biomedical technology, liquid-phase chip technology with microspheres as the carrier has been more and more used in biological analysis and protein, gene, and drug screening. Compared with other forms of solid phase carriers, microspheres have significant advantages: First, the specific surface area of ​​microspheres is large, which can increase the ratio of effective reaction surface area to volume, so the chemical reaction on the surface can be carried out in a smaller volume ; Second, using...
