Abstract

The invention provides a microelectrode array chip which can be used for continuous flow cell electrofusion. The chip consists of three layers, namely a substrate, a cover plate and a metal supporting piece, wherein the substrate is provided with a microchannel for cell suspension to continuously flow and a microelectrode array for electrically stimulating cells; and the microelectrode array is engraved on the two sides of the microchannel, is connected with the metal supporting piece by a metal lead through a micropore, and is connected with a direct-current power supply through a wire to lead in an electrical signal. The microelectrode array chip has a simple structure and is provided with a small number of microelectrodes, so that processing difficulty is far lower than that of a high-density microelectrode cell electrofusion chip; the required fusion voltage is direct-current low voltage, the requirement on equipment is low, and device cost is far lower than that of the conventional cell electrofusion method; meanwhile, cell fusion is continuously performed in the process that cell pairs flow through the microchannel, fusion yield is also far higher than that of the conventional cell electrofusion method, so that the popularization and application of the microelectrode array chip are facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to biological cell electric fusion technology. Specifically, it relates to a chip device that can realize continuous cell fusion under the condition of low-voltage direct current signal, including microchannel and microelectrode design, cell injection, uniform flow of cells, cell electroporation and fusion, and collection of fused cells. Background technique [0002] The cell fusion method originated from animal cell research. In 1962, Japanese scholar Yoshio Kuda used UV-inactivated Sendai virus to induce the fusion of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells in vitro, realizing the artificial cell fusion method for the first time. However, the yield of virus-induced cell fusion is extremely low, and it is difficult to meet the growing research and application needs. Scientists began to seek better fusion induction methods. In 1974, Chinese-Canadian scientist Gao Guonan discovered that polyethylene glycol (PEG) could promote the fusion of p...
