The present invention relates to a subtype swine influenza detection apparatus capable of being conveniently disassembled and using a dual-drive coupling mode, and belongs to the field of analytical testing. According to the present invention, the use of inexpensive and easily-processed polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to produce the substrate of a microfluidic chip for diagnosing subtype swine influenza has a plurality of problems. The technical scheme of the present invention is characterized in that the substrate selects PDMS having an original ecological surface, an elastic clamper provided with a micro-ultrasonic wave transducer arranged on the clamping arm is positioned on the sample liquid flow terminal position of the microfluidic chip in an elastic snapping manner, ultrasonic waves induce to form driving force based on the interfacial tension difference, and through the coupled operation with the driving force of a micro pump, the sample liquid flow is synergistically driven to flow to the terminal direction; and the pipeline of the chip is filled with a micro-scale silica particle filler, and the micro-scale silica particle filler is used for supporting the inner wall of the pipeline, compensating the original hydrophobic pipeline with a hydrophilic micro-channel set, and extruding and covering the inner wall surface of the pipeline so as to reduce the opportunity of the contact between biological macromolecules and the inner wall surface.

Problems solved by technology

[0007] But it's not that simple

[0008] First, this polydimethylsiloxane material, which is referred to by the acronym PDMS, is itself a strongly hydrophobic material, and channels are built on this material. modification operation, then, after the overall assembly is completed, that is, after the cover is covered, because the inner surface of the channel in the structure occupies most of the inner surface of the liquid flow channel, then the inner surface of the PDMS channel is The strong hydrophobicity is the decisive factor, it will make it very difficult for the polar liquid fine flow similar to the aqueous solution to pass through, and its flow resistance is so large that even the general micropump is difficult to push, of course, if the cover sheet is also If you choose to use the PDMS material, then the problems are basically the same, with minor differences; therefore, in the prior art, it is necessary to modify and modify the inner surface of the channel on the PDMS material; then, this is for the PDMS channel Is the modification operation of the inner surface of the channel very troublesome? That's not the problem. What constitutes a serious technical problem is another problem: the PDMS polymer molecules in the bulk phase of the PDMS material substrate have the characteristics of automatic diffusion and migration to the surface. The characteristics of polymer molecules diffusing and migrating to the surface automatically will make the modified state of the inner surface of the channel modified by the surface unable to maintain for a long enough time. The maintenance time of the internal surface state is roughly only enough to complete the time required for the internal test experiment in the laboratory; in other words, the surface state of the PDMS channel inner surface after surface modification or surface modification is formed after modification It cannot last for a long time, but it will automatically tend to or change back to the surface state before the surface modification, and return to the original strongly hydrophobic surface state in a short period of time. Then, just imagine, such a slight Can flow control chips be produced in large quantities, stored in large quantities, and widely promoted? The answer is obvious, that is, impossible

[0017] Third, as mentioned above, the inner surface of the PDMS channel is strongly hydrophobic, and targeted surface chemical modification or surface chemical modification is difficult to last. It is effective to use it within a short period of time; if the relatively short expiration date has passed and it is still used forcibly, since the surface state is already close to the hydrophobic state, there must be a relatively large liquid flow driven by the conventional micropump. In this way, the sample liquid can only be forced to flow in the target direction by increasing the pumping power and pumping pressure of the micropump. Sending pressure to pump the sample liquid flow will cause bubbling, puffing, twisting, and deformation of the channel at the sampling end of the substrate, including the area near the sampling end, and, under such high pressure conditions, in the The channel and its periphery at the injection end and its vicinity are also prone to peeling between the substrate and the cover slip. In this case, the sample solution will enter the gap between the substrate and the cover slip formed after the peeling. This actually leads to the damage of the microfluidic chip; of course, if the surface modification or surface modification is not in place, it will also lead to the above-mentioned situation within the short customary validity period; In the case of an external micropump for liquid flow drive, the above-mentioned problem always exists

As mentioned above, if no pre-operations such as surface modification or surface modification have been done at all, then the above-mentioned problem will be more serious, even if there is no channel bubbling at the injection end and its vicinity, Problems such as puffing, twisting, deformation, and peeling between the substrate and the cover sheet, etc., just because the flow resistance is too large, the use of a high-pressure micropump may not be able to drive the sample liquid flow toward the terminal.
