Embodiment Construction

[0029] The technology of the present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Such as image 3 As shown, a microfluidic chip for cell culture and metabolite detection, from bottom to top is the base layer 1, the first layer chip unit 2, the second layer chip unit 3 and the capping layer 4; the base layer 1 is a glass slide, the chip unit 2 of the first layer and the chip unit 3 of the second layer are formed by pouring and curing PEG-based hydrogel prepolymer, and the material of the cover layer 4 is PDMS polymer. The chip layer is 2mm.

[0031] see figure 1 , the first layer of chip unit 2 includes a microwell array for capturing cells and fixing the captured cells for culture and a rectangular groove corresponding to the upper chip unit. The microwell array is composed of 3×15 microwells in total , each micropore diameter is 800um.

[0032] see figure 2 The chip unit 3 on the second laye...

Abstract

The invention provides a hydrogel micro-fluidic chip, comprising a substrate layer, a chip layer and a gland layer, wherein the chip layer is formed by solidifying PEG (polyethylene glycol) base hydrogel pre-polymer and composed of an upper layer unit and a lower layer unit; a first layer unit comprises a micro-well array used for capturing cells and fixing and cultivating the captured cells; a second layer unit comprises a direct current channel used for pouring cell culture solution and rectangular grooves used for collecting and detecting cell metabolin; the micro-well array of a first layer chip unit is overlapped with the direct current channel area of a second layer chip unit; the rectangular grooves of the first layer chip unit and the second layer chip unit are overlapped; the chip layer is arranged between the substrate layer and the gland layer; and the gland layer is provided with a sample inlet and a sample outlet which are communicated with the direct current channel and the rectangular grooves. According to the invention, a processing method for the micro-fluidic chip is also provided; the hydrogel micro-fluidic chip is manufactured by poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), thus, a chip is manufactured more quickly and efficiently; and the processing method has practical importance at aspects of drug research and drug selection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and provides a microfluidic chip, in particular to a microfluidic chip used for cell culture and metabolite detection. Background technique [0002] Cells are the basic unit of the morphological structure and life activities of organisms. To understand the laws of life activities of organisms, people must base their research on cells, investigate the structure and function of cells, and explore the life activities of cells. Cell culture is just able to realize this purpose. [0003] With the development of micro-manufacturing technology, microfluidic chip has gradually become an emerging platform for cell culture. Compared with the commonly used methods in the laboratory, the operation and analysis of cells on the microfluidic chip has many advantages: the size of the microchannel is equivalent to the size of the cell, and the perfusion culture method used by the chip is closer to the physiological sta...
