Problems solved by technology

Immunofluorescence labeling generally involves multi-step reactions and cleaning processes. Conventional methods often require professionals to carry out in the laboratory, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, difficult to automate and portable, but also has low accuracy and poor repeatability; automated workstations are relatively expensive. High and bulky, not suitable for on-site application

[0029] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. figure 1 shows the overall structural block diagram of the present invention, figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the immune magnetic bead three-dimensional mixing module; it can be seen from the figure that the present invention is composed of the immune magnetic bead three-dimensional mixing module 1 and the immune magnetic bead automatic control module, wherein the immune magnetic bead automatic control module is determined by the position of the microfluidic chip The control assembly 2 and the permanent magnet position control assembly 3 are composed. In addition, there is a microfluidic chip 4 during use of the device.

[0030] Wherein, the immune magnetic bead three-dimensional mixing module of the present invention consists of an upper disc 11, a lower disc 13, an upper disc magnet 12, a lower disc magnet 14, a rotating shaft 15, a drive motor 16, a r...

Embodiment 2

[0034] The microfluidic chip described in this example is prepared by a conventional method: it consists of three plastic (such as PMMA) substrates, a bottom plate layer, a channel layer, and a sample hole layer, and an engraving machine is used to cut plastic sheets of different thicknesses and double-sided Glue, assemble in order, and heat and pressurize the assembled chip (such as 65° C., 30 min) to obtain a usable microfluidic chip.

[0035] image 3 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the microfluidic chip, where A is the assembly diagram; B is the disassembly diagram; it consists of upper, middle and lower three-layer structure, and the middle layer contains 1 mixing pool and 5 reagent pools. Magnetic beads and various reagents required for immunofluorescent labeling (such as washing buffer, fluorescent labeling reagents, etc.); between the reagent pools are spacer pools, in which spacers are added to separate different reagents in adjacent pools.

Embodiment 3

[0045] The device of the present invention is used to carry out automatic immunofluorescent labeling of human CD4 lymphocytes receiving different doses of ultraviolet radiation, and the irradiated cells and antibody-coated magnetic beads are added to the sample pool at the left end of the microfluidic chip; Cell fixation solution, PBS buffer solution, permeation solution (containing fluorescently labeled antibody), washing solution and immunomagnetic bead dissociation solution were added to the six liquid pools respectively; finally, spacer reagents were added to each spacer pool. According to the established procedures, the efficient mixing of immunomagnetic beads and cells and the automatic immunofluorescence labeling of cells can be completed, and the whole process is carried out at room temperature without professional operation. Figure 7 It is the radiation dose-effect relationship of CD4 lymphocytes after treatment, which shows a good linear relationship in the experimen...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic immunofluorescent labeling technology, in particular to a portable microfluidic device for automatic immunofluorescent labeling and a method for using the device. The device is especially suitable for building a real-time on-site analysis and detection system and applied in a special environment. Background technique [0002] Immunofluorescence technology (immunofluorescence) refers to the method of combining immunological methods (specific binding of antigen and antibody) with fluorescent labeling technology to study the distribution of specific protein antigens in cells. It is based on the principle of antigen and antibody reactions. The known antigen or antibody is labeled with a fluorescent group, and then the fluorescent antibody (or antigen) is used as a probe to check the corresponding antigen (or antibody) in the cell or tissue; the fluorescent microscope can be used to see the cell or tissue where the fluor...
