Abstract

The invention discloses a microfluidic chip shear flow based microcapsule preparation method. The method includes the steps of: adopting droplet micro-spray technique to prepare a micro-fluidic chip hydrogel male mould on a glass substrate spin-coated with a sodium alginate coating; then preparing a PDMS micro-fluidic chip negative mould by molding; and bonding the micro-fluidic chip negative mould and the glass substrate together by means of reversible bonding, thus obtaining a micro-fluidic chip; letting a kerosene solution and water of a microcapsule pass through liquid inlets of the micro-fluidic chip respectively through injection pumps, thus obtaining the needed microcapsule at a liquid outlet. According to the invention, the microfluidic chip preparation process is simple, the cost is low, preparation of the hydrogel male mould has no need for specific template, the hydrogel male mould with arbitrary pattern and controllable height can be prepared, and the microfluidic chip has smooth flow channel and large depth-to-width ratio. The prepared microcapsule has the advantages of good consistency and uniform dispersion, uniform and controllable particle size, and good biological activity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of preparation of microcapsules, in particular to a method for preparing microcapsules based on microfluidic chip shear flow. Background technique [0002] Due to its excellent immune isolation performance and controlled release performance, microcapsules are expected to become an important tool for the practical and industrialization of upstream research results in bioengineering, and promote the clinical application of tissue cell or recombinant cell transplantation technology, disease treatment, and protein and polypeptide biochemical drugs. application. Since the 1990s, the medical community has begun to try to use microcapsules as an immune isolation and delivery tool for genetically recombined cells to use the metabolites of recombined cells to regulate the body's physiological functions and treat related diseases. [0003] According to the formation or dispersion method of core material droplets, the commonly ...
