Problems solved by technology

[0016] However, the vibroacoustic method has the following disadvantages: (1) The process parameters of the probe-type vibro-acoustic instrument, including power, position of the probe on the liquid surface, depth, etc., are not easy to control, and the process reproducibility is affected to a certain extent; (2) due to the It must be placed inside the preparation solution, so it is difficult to perform aseptic operation during the acoustic vibration process, and there is a possibility of metal contamination, which adds a certain degree of difficulty to the quality control and preparation process of the contrast agent; (3) More heat, the activity of lipids, especially when preparing contrast agents carrying certain ligands, drugs or genes, has a great impact on the activity of ligands, drugs or genes that are vibrating at the same time
[0018] However, the mechanical oscillation method has the following disadvantages: (1) the particle size of the microbubbles of the contrast agent cannot be precisely controlled; (2) the particle size distribution of the formed microbubbles is relatively wide, and the acoustic properties are unstable. Microbubbles of 10 microns, these large microbubbles may cause blockage or rupture of local blood vessels, making the use of ultrasound contrast agents potentially risky; (3) the shell thickness of the microbubbles is not uniform; (4) mechanical Oscillation method is used to generate sufficient force to introduce gas from the surrounding environment into the liquid solution to form bubbles. The oscillation speed largely determines the number and size of microbubbles formed. For example, SonoVue, a contrast agent approved for clinical use in China, uses a manual method preparation, the repeatability is not good enough

Embodiment Construction

[0059] A detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0060] The particle size and distribution of the microbubbles of ultrasound contrast agents are important indicators of ultrasound contrast agents. Formed by shaking or oscillating, the acoustic properties are unstable. Therefore, a method and device for preparing a large-scale microfluidic ultrasound contrast agent is proposed, combined with the current relatively mature micro-nano processing technology to produce a microfluidic large-scale integrated chip, and using the principle of flow focusing to prepare a controllable particle size and Highly monodisperse microbubbles, uniform thickness of the microbubble shell, not only can obtain stable acoustic properties, but also reduce the possibility of fusion between different sizes of microbubbles into large microbubbles, with higher effectiveness and safety, The operation has good repeatability and contro...
