Problems solved by technology

However, when performing many complex biochemical reactions, samples need to be processed in a certain order to initiate, modify or terminate biochemical reactions, but these complex multi-step operations are difficult to perform in droplets
Although a multi-step process can be achieved by manipulating droplets (droplet fusion, droplet reinjection, droplet separation, and sorting), the use of the above methods requires professional knowledge of microfluidic technology, and the complexity of fluid manipulation Sexuality also limits the use of this type of technology
In microbiological experiments, when bacteria or bacterial genetic material are separated and captured in micro-droplets for a series of corresponding biochemical treatments, it is possible to achieve the connection between multi-step experimental operations and to ensure that there is no cross-contamination and external contamination between samples. source pollution, which is quite challenging
For example, when amplifying and analyzing the genetic material of microorganisms, the microorganisms need to be lysed, but the reagents used in this step may affect the subsequent enzymatic reactions, so there are limitations

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing magnetic polymer microspheres and application of the magnetic polymer microspheres. The preparation method comprises the following steps: firstly, preparing a multi-layer polymer micro-droplet of which the outer layer is coated with magnetic nanoparticles by utilizing a droplet generation technology; carrying out curing or semi-curing and demulsification to obtain a multi-layer polymer microsphere coated with a magnetic shell layer; and dissolving at least one layer in the inner-layer polymer of the multi-layer polymer microsphere to obtain the magnetic polymer microsphere containing the hollow cavity. The preparation method provided by the invention can be used in any biochemical reaction, the magnetic polymer microspheres serve as a reaction container, the shell layer of the magnetic polymer microspheres serves as a passive sieve to retain a packaged reaction substrate and isolate invasion of external pollution, and meanwhile, a small-molecule reaction reagent is allowed to diffuse through and enter the microspheres to react with the reaction substrate. According to the invention, high-efficiency and high-flux biochemical reaction can be carried out under the condition of isolating external pollution; and cross contamination and exogenous contamination of samples among multi-step biochemical reactions can be avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing magnetic polymer microspheres and an application thereof, belonging to the technical field of biochemistry. Background technique [0002] With the iterative update of molecular biology techniques, modern molecular biology research increasingly relies on high-throughput analysis methods to process complex samples with single-cell or single-molecule resolution. Compared with microwell plates, capturing single cells, DNA, enzymes or biomolecules in water-in-oil microdroplets or other forms of microscopic compartments can achieve large-scale high-throughput parallel analysis. However, when performing many complex biochemical reactions, samples need to be processed in a certain order to initiate, modify or terminate biochemical reactions, but these complex multi-step operations are difficult to perform in droplets. Although a multi-step process can be achieved by manipulating droplets (droplet fusion, droplet...
