Embodiment 3

[0098] This embodiment provides a method for using the three-dimensional microfluidic chip in Embodiment 1, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method mainly includes the following steps:

[0099] Step S1: Wet and pretreat the chip by injecting 1×PBS and 0.1% BSA, and let stand for 2 hours.

[0100] Step S2: Pass the detection sample into the chip for CTC capture, and the effluent liquid is collected with an orifice plate.

[0101] Step S3: Microphotographing and counting the triangular capture area of ​​the chip and the orifice plate.

[0102] It should be noted that when performing blood sample detection, the chip needs to be wetted with heparin in the pretreatment stage, and red blood cell lysate can be passed through before microscopic counting to facilitate imaging.

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of medical diagnosis devices, in particular to a micro-fluidic chip and device capable of being used for stably capturing CTC at an ultrahigh flow speed. Through discovery and optimization of a flow velocity limiting key structure, the upper limit of the flow velocity of a single chip is improved by 3 times (about 150mL / h), and the chip still has excellent capture efficiency and capture purity at high flow velocity. Meanwhile, by optimizing the arrangement mode of the chip, the three-dimensional micro-fluidic chip disclosed by the invention is more favorable for reducing the flow velocity and / or flow of a sample, and meanwhile, the area of a single-layer chip is reduced to 1 / 6-1 / 4 of the original area. Through the common use of the two optimization modes, the multiple growth of the upper limit of the flow velocity can be realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of medical diagnostic devices, in particular to a microfluidic chip and a device that can be used to stably capture CTCs at ultra-high flow rates. Background technique [0002] According to the latest survey data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were about 18.19 million new cancer cases and 9.6 million cancer deaths in the world in 2018. Among the cancer deaths, metastatic cancer is the largest cause of cancer deaths, so early diagnosis of cancer is early. Treatment is particularly important to effectively prevent the occurrence of metastatic cancer. Circulating tumor cells (CTC for short) are cancer cells that are shed from carcinoma in situ and enter the circulation system, and are closely related to cancer metastasis. Studies have shown that most cancer patients have CTCs in their blood when the primary cancer is discovered, so CTCs play an important role in the early diagnosis, real-tim...
