Abstract

The invention aims to provide a micro-fluidic chip for nucleic acid sequencing. The chip comprises a group of reaction tanks formed by multiple micro-fluidic channels. The micro-fluidic chip mainly consists of three layers of structures, wherein an upper chip 1 is a solid material substrate, and a liquid inlet 2, a liquid outlet 3 and an upper micro-channel groove 4 are formed in the surface of the upper chip; a square through hole micro array 6 is formed in a middle chip 5, and a microsphere 7 fixedly provided with a sequencing template is captured in each square through hole; a bottom chip 8 is a transparent solid material substrate, and a lower micro-channel groove 9 is formed in the surface of the bottom chip. In the chip application process, the sequencing template is fixed on each microsphere, and a sequencing reaction solution and a washing solution flow through the micro through hole array from pores between the microspheres and the square through holes. The chip is simple in design and structure and easy to prepare, the microspheres are fixed, the reacting and washing speed is accelerated, the amount of reagents is reduced, and the washing effect is enhanced, so that the nucleic acid sequencing cost is reduced, and the sequencing time is shortened.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microfluidic chip for nucleic acid sequencing. It can be widely used in the fields of nucleic acid sequencing, gene mutation detection and molecular diagnosis. Background technique [0002] Since the emergence of Sanger nucleic acid sequencing technology in the mid-1970s, nucleic acid sequencing technology has made great progress, especially with the completion of the Human Genome Project, nucleic acid sequencing technology has greatly changed the research landscape in many fields of life sciences. [0003] As the first-generation sequencing technology, Sanger sequencing is convenient, simple, highly reliable, and has long sequencing fragments. It has also become the sequencing technology used in human genome sequencing. However, Sanger sequencing cannot be further miniaturized, and the sequencing throughput is also limited. With the development and in-depth research of related biotechnology, DNA sequencing technology has al...
