Abstract

The invention discloses a microfluid system for unicell ultrasonic gene introduction, and an introduction method thereof. The microfluid system is characterized in that a PPMA base body is provided with a microfluid pipeline through a hot pressing technology, and a polyimide substrate is provided with an ultrasonic transducer with different frequencies through an MEMS technology; and the PMMA base body and the polyimide substrate are bonded and fixed together, and the ultrasonic transducer is positioned above the microfluid pipeline. When the microfluid system is used, a cell sap to be treated and a target gene solution are injected to the microfluid pipeline and are uniformly mixed, the ultrasonic transducer is started, and the target gene goes through ultrasonic micropores and is introduced to cells to be treated when the ultrasonic micropores are generated on the surface of the cells to be treated. The microfluid system can accurately realize unicell ultrasonic gene delivery without cell size and kind restriction or change of cell survival environment, and has the advantages of high introduction success rate, device micromation, rapid and simple operate, high precision and high reliability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for introducing genes into biological cells, in particular to a device and a method for single-cell ultrasonic precise gene introduction. Background technique [0002] Since the 1990s, with the rapid development of ultrasonic medicine and the deepening of theoretical research on ultrasonic cavitation, ultrasonic gene delivery technology has gradually emerged. Ultrasonic gene delivery is a new type of cell membrane perforation technology developed recently, which has been applied to cell transfection of DNA and drugs. When ultrasonic waves of a certain intensity propagate in the liquid, bubbles are formed, and when the bubbles burst, local high temperature, high pressure and shock waves are formed, which is the so-called cavitation effect. Using the cavitation effect, in a liquid environment, nano-scale micro-perforations can be produced on the cell membrane, and gene fragments in the liquid around the cel...
