Micro-fluidic chip for monitoring movement behaviors and physiological characteristics of nematodes

Abstract

The invention discloses a micro-fluidic chip for monitoring nematode movement behaviors and physiological characteristics. A fluid inlet, a culture cavity array, a sampling inspection channel, an electrical impedance tomography detection cavity, an electrical impedance spectroscopy detection cavity and a fluid outlet are connected in sequence; a casual inspection control valve is arranged on a casual inspection channel and used for controlling a channel to be opened or closed; a detection control valve is arranged between the electrical impedance tomography detection cavity and the electricalimpedance spectroscopy detection cavity and used for controlling the channel to be opened or closed; the electrical impedance tomography electrode array is connected with the electrical impedance tomography detection cavity; and the electrical impedance spectroscopy detection electrode array is connected with the electrical impedance spectroscopy detection cavity. By the adoption of the technicalscheme, integration of the culture cavity, the electrical impedance tomography detection cavity and the electrical impedance spectroscopy detection cavity can be achieved, the functions of nematode culture, movement behavior and physiological structure detection and the like are achieved, and high-automation and high-efficiency culture and detection can be achieved in cooperation with the controlvalve.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The technical effect that this new technology provides are its ability to combine these two types of sensors into one device for better monitoring or training purposes on various aspects such as crop growth conditions, rooting activity, physical structures like roots, water level changes during flooding events, and other factors affects crops' healthy development.

Problems solved by technology

Technologies described earlier were developed specifically for studying nemaids' movements and physical structures during their life cycle from blood flowing into tissues or muscles. However, these techniques lacked any capabilities to measure how well they moved over time without being affected by external factors such as temperature changes or environmental stressors like nutrients or water levels.
