Abstract

The invention discloses a digital micro-fluidic chip device for nucleic acid detection and a use method. A nucleic acid detection aqueous phase solution and an oil solution with the specific gravity smaller than that of water are added to a chip sample inlet at a time, then a chip is fixed on centrifugal equipment, and a water phase and an oil phase can be driven to enter the chip through centrifugation for 10-20 minutes. Finally, the result that the water phase is distributed in a micro-cavity of the chip and the oil phase is distributed in a micro-pipeline is obtained. Only 1-3 nanoliters of volume of reagent is needed for chip analysis of the invention. The analysis cost is greatly reduced, and the requirement on the sample content is reduced. The water phase and the oil phase can be injected into the chip at the same time, impurities are prevented from being introduced in multi-step experiments, and the accuracy of analysis is improved. The chip is simple in design principle, and samples can be separated by a one-step method only through a centrifugal device, so that digital PCR detection is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a digital microfluidic chip device for nucleic acid detection and a method for using it, belonging to the field of medical inspection and analysis. Background technique [0002] Liquid biopsies have grown significantly in recent years due to their minimal invasiveness and potential to assess biomarkers of various diseases. It includes circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), cell-free DNA (cfDNA), extracellular vesicles (EVs), etc. Plasma is a common carrier for liquid biopsy and is a dynamic medium in which circulating nucleic acids can be shed from cells and released into the blood. Thus, circulating nucleic acids offer unique opportunities for diagnosis or monitoring of cancer dynamics. [0003] Nucleic acids released by tumor cells make up a small fraction of plasma, therefore, highly precise and robust methods are required to detect and quantify small numbers of nucleic acid molecules. At present, ...
