[0062] The chip body is provided with a material chamber, the sealing layer can seal the material chamber, the material chamber has a ventilation structure, the material chamber includes a sample accommodating area 10, a diluent adding area 20, a sample dilution mixing area 30, a pre-reaction area 40 and a reaction detection area, the sample accommodating area 10 and the diluent adding area 20 can be connected with the sample dilution mixing area 30, that is, the material in the sample accommodating area 10 and the diluent adding area 20 can flow to the sample dilution mixing area 30. The sample dilution mixing area 30 is connected with the reaction detection area through the pre-reaction area 40, and the pre-reaction area 40 and the reaction detection area are respectively preset with a first reaction substance and a second reaction substance, and the first reaction substance and the second reaction substance are determined according to the reaction substances required. Specifically, the sample dilution mixing area 30 can be used for serum dilution and mixing.

[0063] The test sample entering the sample containing area 10 from the first sample adding port and the diluent entering the diluent adding area 20 from the second sample adding port can both enter the sample dilution mixing area 30 for mixing. The mixed liquid enters the pre-reaction area 40 and reacts with the first reaction substance in the pre-reaction area 40 to form a pre-reaction liquid. The reaction liquid enters the reaction detection area and reacts with the second reaction substance to form a test sample.

[0064] The sample receiving area 10 is provided with a first sample loading port. Specifically, the first sample loading port is arranged at the side end of the chip body, specifically at the proximal end of the chip body, and the diluent loading area 20 is provided with a second sample loading port. Specifically, an independent liquid receiving chamber can be provided at the position where the second reaction substance is located before entering the reaction detection area. Different liquid receiving chambers are arranged along the liquid flow direction, and the liquids are filled one by one, that is, before entering the reaction detection area, a part of the liquid flows preferentially to the solution receiving chamber, and the other part flows to the position where the second reaction substance is located. Specifically, the reaction detection area is provided with a pre-reaction detection chamber after the primary reaction and a test sample detection chamber after the secondary reaction. The reactant that has only reacted with the first reaction substance is detected by the pre-reaction detection chamber, and the reactant that has reacted with the first reaction substance and the second reaction substance is detected by the test sample detection chamber.

In terms of the cross-sectional area along the direction perpendicular to the rotation radius, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first connecting tube 122 and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second connecting tube 124 are both smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first cavity 121, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second cavity 123, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the third cavity 125. Specifically, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second connecting tube 124 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first connecting tube 122. Preferably, the inner cavity of the second cavity 123 is a spindle-shaped cavity that is thick in the middle and thin at both ends along the fluid flow direction. As shown in the figure, the inner cavity of the second cavity 123 can be arranged in a parallelogram shape, and the second connecting tube 124 and the first connecting tube 122 connect the two opposite corner positions of the second cavity 123.

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, the sample siphon 14 connects the second connecting tube 124 and the sample dilution and mixing area 30, and the distance from the closest point a of the sample siphon 14 to the rotation center is smaller than the distance from the closest point b of the waste liquid outlet tube 17 to the rotation center. Specifically, the middle part of the sample siphon 14 is a V-shaped tube structure protruding toward the proximal end, and preferably, the angle position of the inner cavity of the tube body is smoothly transitioned. The sample waste liquid cavity 13 is connected to the third cavity 125 through the waste liquid outlet tube 17.

[0067] The ventilation structure includes a first ventilation tube 15 connected to the sample waste liquid chamber 13 and a second ventilation tube 16 connected to the sample collection chamber 11. Specifically, the outlet ends of the first ventilation tube 15 and the second ventilation tube 16 can both be opened on the side wall of the chip.

[0068] Preferably, the sample collection chamber 11 is a hydrophilic chamber, that is, the sample collection chamber 11 has hydrophilic properties and can directly contact with blood / serum / plasma and other samples through its first sample loading port located on the side of the proximal end of the bioreactor chip to produce capillary action, thereby completing the collection and storage of the sample.

[0069] like Figure 6As shown, the sample quantitative separation chamber 12 has a "double dumbbell" structure with three cavities connected in sequence, that is, it has two contracted "thin waist" structures (first connecting tube 122 and second connecting tube 124), which realize particle separation and quantification of the sample under the action of centrifugal force. The thin waist structure (second connecting tube 124) at the lower end is connected to the sample siphon tube 14, and the distal end of the second connecting tube 124 is connected to the sample waste liquid chamber 13 through the third cavity 125 and the waste liquid outlet tube 17; the first ventilation tube 15 is used for ventilation during liquid transfer.

[0070] Two ends of the waste liquid outlet tube 17 are connected to the proximal end of the third cavity 125 and the proximal end of the sample waste liquid cavity 13 respectively.

[0071] The diluent sample adding area 20 includes a diluent sample adding chamber 21, a diluent sample adding port 22 for adding sample to the diluent sample adding chamber 21, and a diluent transfer tube 23 connecting the diluent sample adding chamber 21 and the sample dilution mixing area 30. The diluent sample adding port 22 is located at the proximal end of the diluent sample adding chamber 21, and the diluent transfer tube 23 is connected to the distal end of the diluent sample adding chamber 21. Specifically, the diluent sample adding port 22 can be set on the back of the chip body.

[0072] The diluent injection cavity 21 is used to contain a fixed volume of diluent required for biochemical detection on the chip; the diluent injection port 22 is specifically matched with the size of the pipette tip for diluent injection from Figure 7 The chip body shown is loaded with samples on the back side.

[0073] The sample dilution and mixing area 30 includes a mixing chamber 31 and a mixing chamber siphon 34 for conveying the mixed solution to the pre-reaction area 40, and the liquid outlet of the mixing chamber 31 is connected to the mixing chamber siphon 34. The mixing chamber siphon 34 is a hydrophilic tube body, and the first connection port between the diluent adding area 20 and the mixing chamber 31 and the second connection port between the sample containing area 10 and the mixing chamber 31 are located on the same side of the liquid outlet of the mixing chamber 31; the ventilation structure includes a third ventilation tube 32 connected to the mixing chamber 31, and specifically, the exhaust hole 33 at the end of the third ventilation tube 32 is opened on the front of the chip body.

[0074] During specific operation, the mixing chamber 31 is used to mix the transferred test sample and the diluent; the exhaust hole 33 ensures that the mixing chamber 31 is connected to the outside atmosphere.

[0075] The pre-reaction zone 40 includes a diluted sample temporary storage chamber 41, a pre-reaction chamber 42, a third connecting tube 43, a first siphon tube 46, and a second siphon tube 45. The pre-reaction chamber 42 is preset with a first reaction substance. The third connecting tube 43 connects the proximal end liquid outlet of the diluted sample temporary storage chamber 41 and the liquid inlet of the pre-reaction chamber 42. The first siphon tube 46 connects the liquid outlet of the pre-reaction chamber 42. The second siphon tube 45 connects the distal end liquid outlet of the diluted sample temporary storage chamber 41. The distance from the proximal end liquid outlet to the rotation center is smaller than the distance from the distal end liquid outlet to the rotation center. Figure 5 As shown, the distance from the closest point c of the third connecting pipe 43 to the rotation center is greater than the distance from the closest point d of the second siphon pipe 45 to the rotation center.

[0076] The ventilation structure includes a fourth ventilation pipe 44 connected to the pre-reaction chamber 42. Specifically, the pre-reaction zone 40 may be a pre-reaction zone 40 for performing a cystatin C reaction.

[0077] The reaction detection area includes a first reaction detection area 50 and a second reaction detection area 60. The first reaction detection area 50 and the second reaction detection area 60 are independently arranged. The first siphon 46 is connected to the liquid inlet of the first reaction detection area 50, and the second siphon 45 is connected to the liquid inlet of the second reaction detection area 60. The second reaction substance is located in the first reaction detection area 50, and the second reaction detection area 60 is provided with a third reaction substance. The first reaction detection area 50 can be a detection area for cystatin C reaction, and the second reaction detection area 60 can be a detection area for other renal function indicators.

[0078] Specifically, the first reaction substance is a freeze-dried reagent for the first step pre-reaction in the cystatin C biochemical test, and the sample diluted by the diluent enters the freeze-dried reagent for the first step reaction of the cystatin C biochemical test to re-dissolve and realize the pre-reaction. The fourth ventilation pipe 44 is connected to the pre-reaction chamber 42 to realize ventilation with the outside; the second siphon 45 connects the pre-reaction chamber 42 and the downstream first reaction detection area 50; the first siphon 46 connects the diluted sample temporary storage chamber 41 and the downstream second reaction detection area 60.

[0079] The first reaction detection area 50 includes a first distribution tube 51, a pre-reaction detection chamber 52, a first detection chamber 53 and a blank control chamber 54. The pre-reaction detection chamber 52 and the first detection chamber 53 are both connected to the first distribution tube 51. Of course, the blank control chamber 54 can also be connected to the first distribution tube 51. Specifically, the pre-reaction detection chamber 52, the first detection chamber 53 and the blank control chamber 54 can all be hole structures. Along the flow direction of the fluid in the first distribution tube 51, the blank control chamber 54 is located downstream of the first detection chamber 53.

[0080] Along the flow direction of the fluid in the first distribution tube 51, the connection end of the first detection chamber 53 and the first distribution tube 51 can be located downstream of the connection end of the pre-reaction detection chamber 52 and the first distribution tube 51. The fluid entering the first distribution tube 51 first enters the pre-reaction detection chamber 52 and then enters the first detection chamber 53. The ventilation structure includes a ventilation structure 55 connected to the end of the first distribution tube 51 away from the liquid inlet of the first distribution tube 51. The liquid inlet of the first distribution tube is connected to the liquid outlet of the first siphon 46, and the second reaction substance is located in the first detection chamber 53. The bioreaction chip provided in the present application can detect cystatin C by two-step method. The final detection result is achieved with the pre-reaction detection chamber 52 and the first detection chamber 53 on the same centrifugal radius. The two-step reaction of cystatin C has been fully mixed to ensure stable reaction and reliable detection. The blank control chamber 54 is a cavity structure, that is, the blank control chamber 54 is not provided with any structure and is only used for comparison with other chambers.

[0081] The first detection chamber 53 includes an expansion chamber and a reaction chamber connected to the distal end of the expansion chamber. The proximal end of the expansion chamber is connected to the first distribution pipe 51. In the direction perpendicular to the rotation center radius, the cross-sectional area of ​​the expansion chamber is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the reaction chamber. That is, the first detection chamber 53 is in a shape with a large circumferential dimension at the proximal end and a small circumferential dimension at the distal end, and is wide at the upper (proximal end) and narrow at the lower (distal end). After the liquid from the pre-reaction chamber 42 fills the pre-reaction detection chamber 52, it can only fill 1 / 2 to 1 / 3 of the volume of the first detection chamber 53, leaving part of the cavity to facilitate the mixing of the reagents, thereby ensuring a fully stable reaction.

[0082] The blank control chamber 54 is an empty hole, and the pre-reaction detection chamber 52 is used to accommodate the pre-reaction product in the pre-reaction chamber 42 to detect the pre-reaction result; specifically, the first detection chamber 53 is fixed with the freeze-dried reagent of the second step cystatin C biochemical reaction as the second reaction substance, which can be re-dissolved by the liquid from the pre-reaction chamber 42 to complete the second step biochemical reaction of cystatin C.

[0083] The second reaction detection area 60 includes a second distribution pipe 61, a second detection chamber 62 and a waste liquid chamber 63. The second detection chamber 62 and the waste liquid chamber 63 are both connected to the second distribution pipe 61. Specifically, the second detection chamber 62 and the waste liquid chamber 63 can be a hole structure with an opening on the upper surface. The liquid inlet of the second distribution pipe 61 is connected to the liquid outlet of the second siphon tube 45, and the third reaction substance is located in the second detection chamber 62. Along the flow direction of the fluid in the second distribution pipe 61, the connection between the waste liquid chamber 63 and the second distribution pipe 61 is located downstream of the connection between the second detection chamber 62 and the second distribution pipe 61, that is, the fluid entering the second distribution pipe 61 first enters the second detection chamber 62 and then enters the waste liquid chamber 63. The ventilation structure includes a ventilation structure 55 connected to an end of the second distribution pipe 61 away from the liquid inlet section of the second distribution pipe 61.

[0084] Specifically, multiple second detection chambers 62 can be provided, each of which is preset with different reaction substances to perform multiple tests. Preferably, the fluid entering the second distribution pipe 61 first enters each second detection chamber 62 in sequence, and finally enters the waste liquid chamber 63.

[0085] In a specific embodiment, the first distribution pipe 51 and the second distribution pipe 61 are arc-shaped pipe structures with the same rotation radius but not concentric.

[0086] In order to avoid mutual interference of structures, preferably, the first siphon tube 46 and the second siphon tube 45 are located at opposite ends of the chip body surface. In this case, the opening of the fourth ventilation tube 44 can be located at the side end of the chip body, and there is no need to set a separate ventilation hole.

[0087] The second reaction detection area 60 can be other renal function index detection areas. The second detection cavity 62 stores the freeze-dried substrate required for the biochemical detection of renal function detection indexes as the third reaction substance. The detection indexes include urea nitrogen, blood creatinine, uric acid and the like.

[0088] The chip body is provided with a positioning structure 70, which includes a positioning tooth 72 provided at the distal end of the chip body and a positioning hole 71 provided on the chip body. The positioning hole 71 may be one or at least two. Specifically, a corresponding mounting seat is provided with a limiting column matched with the positioning hole 71. Specifically, the positioning tooth 72 is provided in a serrated shape along the periphery of the chip body. Specifically, the mounting seat is provided with a limiting tooth engaged with the positioning tooth 72, or an optical sensor is provided for judging the position of the detection hole through the positioning tooth 72 when the chip rotates.

[0089] The bioreaction chip can realize the biochemical detection of various renal function-related indicators including cystatin C. All substrates of the biochemical reaction are frozen and stored in the chip in advance. Among them, the biochemical reaction of cystatin C is a two-step method, while other indicators are all one-step methods. Through the specific chip structure and centrifugal workflow, the one-step method and the two-step method can be automatically and controllably carried out simultaneously.

[0090] Specifically, the biochemical reaction chip is arranged on a rotating platform, and one rotating platform is preferably provided with a plurality of circumferentially arranged biochemical reaction chips.

[0091] The present application provides a bioreactor device, including a bioreactor chip and a driving device for driving the bioreactor chip to rotate centrifugally, wherein the bioreactor chip is any of the above-mentioned bioreactor chips. The above-mentioned specific structure of the bioreactor chip is described, and the present application includes the above-mentioned bioreactor chip and also has the above-mentioned technical effects.

[0092] In a specific embodiment, the bioreactor device further comprises a control device connected to the driving device, and the control device can control the driving device to drive the bioreactor chip to swing and mix the substances in the chip body.

[0093] The present application provides a biological detection method, according to the above-mentioned biological reaction chip, comprising the following steps:

[0094] The test sample is sent to the sample containing area 10, and the diluent is sent to the diluent adding area 20. Specifically, the side of the sample collection cavity 11 contacts the sample to absorb the test sample, and a fixed volume of diluent is added through the diluent adding port 22 on the back of the chip body, and then the bioreactor chip is placed on the centrifugal platform of the matching detection instrument.

[0095] The biological detection chip is centrifuged, and the particles in the detection sample in the sample containing area 10 are separated, and then enter the sample dilution mixing area 30, and the diluent enters the sample dilution mixing area 30. Specifically, the biological detection chip is centrifuged at high speed for a period of time, and the detection sample enters the sample quantitative separation chamber 12 from the sample collection chamber 11 under the action of centrifugal force to achieve quantification, and the excess sample enters the sample waste liquid chamber 13. The sample realizes particle separation in the sample under the action of centrifugal force, such as serum and blood cell separation; the diluent sample addition chamber 21 enters the mixing chamber through the diluent transfer tube 23; the centrifugation is stopped or the centrifugation speed is reduced, and the separated serum or plasma sample fills the sample siphon 14 under capillary action, and the mixing chamber siphon 34 will not be filled with liquid because it has not been hydrophilically modified.

[0096] During specific operation, the biological detection chip rotates centrifugally, and the sample enters the sample dilution and mixing area 30 through the siphon tube 14 under the action of siphon and contacts the diluent therein. The biological detection chip swings back and forth, and the diluent is mixed with the detection sample to form a mixed liquid. Among them, when the biological detection chip swings back and forth, the biological detection chip can swing at a uniform speed. In order to improve the mixing efficiency, it is preferred that when the biological detection chip swings back and forth, the biological detection chip swings at a non-uniform speed. Specifically, the swinging of the biological detection chip is: reducing the rotation speed of the biological detection chip, and using a high acceleration and low speed forward and reverse mode (such as a rotation speed of ±300rpm, an acceleration of 10000rpm / s) to swing the biological detection chip, so as to achieve sufficient mixing of the detection sample and the diluent. In addition, the high acceleration back and forth swinging allows the liquid to enter and fill the mixing chamber siphon tube 34 while mixing.

[0097] Specifically, in the high acceleration and low speed forward and reverse rotation mode: speed range: ±2000rpm (i.e. counterclockwise / clockwise 2000rpm is repeatedly alternating, 2000rpm is preferably the highest speed within the available range, and in specific operation, there may be speed settings of -100rpm / ﹢400rpm, 0rpm / +300rpm).

[0098] Acceleration range: 100rpm / s~30000rpm / s. Specifically, when the purpose is to mix the liquid in the container, symmetrical rotation speed and acceleration are usually used (for example, ±1000rpm, acceleration 20000rpm / s); and when it is necessary to fill the corresponding siphon pipe by high-acceleration liquid impact, asymmetric acceleration will be used, and the speed may also be asymmetric (for example, rotation speed ±200rpm, clockwise acceleration 500rpm / s, counterclockwise acceleration 20000rpm / s, at this time the liquid gradually flows into the siphon pipe). Specifically, when the motor changes speed, there must be a clockwise or counterclockwise force on the liquid. This force is used to make the liquid have the effect of rushing to the left or right, that is, the impact force on the liquid is generated by the speed change of the motor, and then the liquid impacts the siphon pipe on the biological detection chip until the siphon pipe is finally filled.

[0099] The biological detection chip rotates centrifugally, and the mixed liquid enters the pre-reaction area 40. The biological detection chip swings back and forth, and the mixed liquid mixes with the first reaction substance to form a pre-reaction liquid.

[0100] Specifically, the biological detection chip is centrifugally rotated at a high speed, and the mixed sample in the mixing chamber enters the diluted sample temporary storage chamber 41 through the mixing chamber siphon tube 34 under the action of siphon. After the diluted sample temporary storage chamber 41 is filled, the excess liquid enters the pre-reaction chamber 42 through the third connecting tube 43; thereafter, the rotation speed of the biological reaction chip is reduced, and the chip can also be swung in a high acceleration and low speed forward and reverse mode, so that the liquid in the pre-reaction chamber 42 can fully dissolve the freeze-dried reagent therein and realize the pre-reaction of cystatin C; at the same time, the liquid will fill the second siphon tube 45 and the first siphon tube 46 respectively under the action of the swing of the biological detection chip.

[0101] The biological detection chip is centrifugally rotated, and the pre-reaction liquid enters the reaction detection area and reacts with the second reaction substance to form a test sample. The biological detection chip is centrifugally rotated at high speed, and the liquid in the dilution sample temporary storage chamber 41 and the pre-reaction chamber 42 enters the first distribution tube 51 and the second distribution tube 61 through the second siphon 45 and the first siphon 46 respectively under the action of centrifugal force, and fills the pre-reaction detection chamber 52 and partially fills the first detection chamber 53, and fills the second detection chamber 62 and partially fills the waste liquid chamber 63 respectively. Afterwards, the rotation speed of the biological detection chip is reduced, and the biological detection chip is swung in a high acceleration and low speed forward and reverse mode so that the liquid in the first detection chamber 53 as the cystatin C detection hole and the second detection chamber 62 as the renal function index reaction detection hole is fully mixed with the freeze-dried substrate, and the absorbance in the pre-cystatin C pre-reaction detection hole, the cystatin C detection hole and the renal function index reaction detection hole is detected respectively, and the concentration of the index to be detected can be calculated according to the standard curve.

[0102] Specifically, the centrifugal speed and the swinging speed of the biological detection chip are determined according to actual needs, and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0103] The biological detection chip in the above embodiment can realize two-step and one-step biochemical detection at the same time. The substrate required for the biochemical reaction is pre-stored in the corresponding cavity and reaction hole of the chip in a freeze-dried form. The user can adjust the freeze-dried substrate placed in the chip to realize the combined detection of other indicators as needed. The pre-storage of the substrate for the biochemical reaction greatly simplifies the operation of the biological detection chip user.
