Problems solved by technology

[0004] The existing problems of immunoblotting are: (1) one experiment can only detect the expression of a protein in a biological sample
It cannot meet the purpose of simultaneous detection of multiple proteins in cells or tissues in biological research
(2) A Western blotting experiment requires a large amount of antibody solution (hundreds of microliters to several milliliters), and the antibody is expensive, which makes the cost of Western blotting higher.
However, the number of proteins that can be detected by multicolor fluorescein labeling and multicolor quantum dot labeling methods is limited, because the wavelength ranges of excitation light and emission light of different labeled substances (fluorescein or quantum dots) will overlap. The number of proteins detected is mostly less than 5
The disadvantage of surface-enhanced Raman immunoblotting is that the spectral profiles are complex and difficult to distinguish when detecting mixtures of multiple proteins
[0006] There are also some reports to use microfluidic technology to detect various proteins formed by electrophoresis, for example, the whole electrophoresis and transfer process are concentrated in a tiny channel (He, M., Herr, A.E., Nat.Prot.2010, 5 , 1844-1856), but the problem with this technology is that it cannot provide information on the molecular weight of the target protein, and the readout method is too complicated to be used in general biological laboratories; another example, we invented a system before, using parallel The microfluidic channels for introducing antibodies to detect target proteins (Pan, W.Y.; Chen, W.; Jiang, X.Y.; Anal. Chem. 2010, 82, 3974-3976) can solve the above problems, but this method can only Processing one sample obviously cannot meet the needs of processing many samples at the same time in biological experiments

Embodiment 1

[0045] This example illustrates the preparation method of the multiphase microfluidic immunoblotting chip of the present invention

[0046] 1. Preparation of microfluidic chip template

[0047] The main process of preparation is photolithography, which is to make a photoresist silicon wafer template that is completely consistent with the pattern on the designed mask by using the characteristic that the photoresist can change its properties under ultraviolet irradiation. The specific preparation method can be found in Y Xia, G. Whitesides, Annual Review of Materials Science 1998, 28, 15.

[0048] 2. Preparation of sheet with multiple microfluidic grooves

[0049] The preparation method is soft etching technology, and the preparation material is polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, poly-dimethylsiloxane), which is a transparent and viscous liquid in a normal state. After being mixed with a curing agent (184 silicone elastomer curing agent , purchased from Dow Corning Corporation of the...

[0084] This example is used to illustrate the ability of the multiphase microfluidic immunoblotting chip of the present invention for semi-quantitative detection.

[0085] As described in Example 1, put 10 μg, 5 μg, 2.5 μg, and 1.25 μg of the lysed whole protein of NIH 3T3 cells in the four lanes, perform electrophoresis according to the preferred time, transfer to the membrane, and then transfer the protein-loaded membrane to Drying, using the mass ratio of PDMS monomer and curing agent at 20:1, drying at 80°C for 25 minutes to prepare a PDMS chip, and combining the film and the chip by light pressure. The anti-annexin antibody from Santa Cruz Company was used at an initial concentration of 1:20, and then the antibody solutions were serially diluted to 1:40, 1:80, 1:160, 1:320, 1:640, and 1:1280. These seven concentrations of antibodies were passed into seven microfluidic channels respectively, and the concentration of the secondary antibody was 1:2000. The dot matrix diagra...
