Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and specifically relates to a centrifugal microfluidic chip for automated detection of nanoenzyme test strips and its application. Background Art

[0002] Nanoenzyme immunochromatography technology has been widely used in various detection scenarios, especially in the rapid detection of biomarkers, with the advantages of simplicity, speed, and high sensitivity. Traditional immunochromatographic test strips generally require manual operation, including steps such as sample addition and strip reading. This not only increases the time and complexity of detection, but is also easily affected by the subjective factors of the operator, resulting in inconsistent and inaccurate results. Therefore, how to achieve automated detection of nanoenzyme immunochromatographic test strips has become a problem that needs to be solved urgently in current technology.

[0003] Microfluidics technology integrates bioanalysis processes such as sample pretreatment, immune response, and signal detection into microchips, creating portable "lab-on-a-chip" systems. Centrifugal microfluidic chips, in particular, utilize centrifugal force to drive fluid movement, eliminating the reliance of traditional microfluidic systems on complex pump and valve structures. Their high throughput and ease of parallelization make them ideal vehicles for rapid multi-target detection.

[0004] Compared with traditional centrifugal microfluidic chips that use surface-treated valves as the core of fluid control, chips based on soluble membrane valves achieve precise fluid control through the intrinsic properties of the material rather than surface energy modification, which significantly reduces environmental sensitivity and process complexity. Traditional chips rely on hydrophilic / hydrophobic modification or physical valve structure to control fluid flow, which is prone to surface energy decay due to temperature and humidity fluctuations or storage aging, causing fluid leakage or valve control failure, increasing manufacturing costs and the risk of system failure. In addition, traditional valves are difficult to coordinate timing logic in multi-step detection. For example, key links such as the sequential mixing of samples and reagents and reaction incubation time control often lead to deviations in detection results due to fluid lag or asynchronous triggering. More importantly, traditional chips rely solely on a single motor speed adjustment to achieve full process control, requiring frequent manual intervention in fixed speed mode, and the level of automation is insufficient.

[0005] In view of the above description, it is essential to combine nanozyme immunochromatographic test strips with centrifugal microfluidic chips to realize automatic loading of samples, flow control and automatic reading of results, while meeting the needs of high-throughput and multi-target detection, and improving its detection sensitivity and automation level, to promote the development of nanozyme test strip detection technology.

Compared to hydrophilic / hydrophobic treatment methods, dissolvable membrane valves are free from issues such as material aging, humidity influence, and uneven surface treatment, thereby improving chip production consistency and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0084] 3. The centrifugal microfluidic chip of the present invention can realize parallel detection of multiple samples. Multiple samples can be analyzed simultaneously on a single chip, thereby improving detection throughput and being suitable for large-scale screening and high-throughput detection needs.

[0106] 3) Centrifuge and discard the supernatant, add 50 mM Tris-HCl solution, shake at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then centrifuge and discard the supernatant;

[0107] 4) Add BSA blocking solution and shake at room temperature for 2 hours to block nonspecific binding sites;

[0108] 5) Centrifuge and discard the supernatant, resuspend in pH 7.4 PBS (0.1% TWEEN20) to obtain the nanozyme probe solution, and store it at 4°C.

[0109] This embodiment provides a centrifugal microfluidic chip for automated detection of nanozyme test strips. The chip can be glued together before injection. Figure 1-2 The chip body (29) shown Figure 3 The bottom channel layer (36) shown, Figure 4 The vertical through hole layer (42) shown Figure 5 The compression layer (48) shown Figure 6 The top channel layer (54) and Figure 7 The sealing body (64) shown is bonded together through the positioning holes and is ready for use.

[0110] like Figure 2 and 7As shown, the nanozyme probe solution, sample solution, DAB buffer, DAB substrate solution and H2O2 solution are respectively injected into the corresponding first storage chamber (13), second storage chamber (12), third storage chamber (1), fifth storage chamber (3) and fourth storage chamber (2) through the first injection hole (56), second injection hole (57), fifth injection hole (61), fourth injection hole (60) and third injection hole (59) using a pipette. Subsequently, a sealing member is used to seal the first injection hole (56), second injection hole (57), fifth injection hole (61), third injection hole (59), fourth injection hole (60) and the first exhaust hole (55) and the second exhaust hole (58). The sealing member can be a 3M single-sided tape or a PET film.

[0111] The chip positioning mechanism (30) is then matched with its corresponding carrier to perform subsequent fluid control and chromatography color development reactions.

[0112] (1) The liquid in the first storage chamber (13) and the second storage chamber (12) sequentially breaks through the first capillary valve (14) and the second capillary valve (15) at a certain rotation speed and enters the first mixing chamber (16); the liquid in the third storage chamber (1), the fifth storage chamber (3) and the fourth storage chamber (2) sequentially breaks through the third capillary valve (6), the fourth capillary valve (5) and the fifth capillary valve (4) at a certain rotation speed and enters the second mixing chamber (7).

[0113] (2) Subsequently, part of the liquid in the chamber passes through the first siphon channel (49) and the air pressure channel (51) under capillary action and stops after the peak. Then, the sample mixture begins to dissolve the soluble membrane to open the first soluble membrane valve (44) and the air pressure hole (43).

[0114] (3) After the first soluble membrane valve (44) is opened, at a certain rotation speed, the sample mixture in the first mixing chamber (16) enters the test strip storage chamber (11) through the first liquid inlet channel (50) to perform a chromatography reaction in the paper strip chromatography pad, and the color development liquid mixture in the second mixing chamber (7) dissolves and breaks through the second soluble membrane valve (45). The sample liquid is precisely controlled in the second liquid inlet channel (9) for 7 minutes to wait for the sample liquid chromatography to be complete, and enters the middle detection area of ​​the test strip storage chamber (11) through the second liquid inlet channel (9). The two liquids undergo a color development reaction in the middle detection area of ​​the test strip storage chamber (11). After the reaction is complete, the detection signal will be greatly enhanced.

[0115] In order to prevent the color-developing liquid from entering the test strip storage chamber (11) and not being spread out in the middle detection area according to the preset state for color development reaction, a barrier plate (10) is added to prevent the color-developing liquid from entering the absorbent pad under the action of centrifugation and failing to fully develop the color, thereby ensuring reaction stability.

[0116] To facilitate chip sealing, the chip body (29), the bottom flow channel layer (36), the vertical through-hole layer (42), the compression layer (48), the top flow channel layer (54) and the sealing body (64) can be sealed and connected by gluing, hot pressing, laser welding and ultrasonic welding.

[0118] In this embodiment, the nanozyme test strip is installed in the test strip storage cavity (11) of the microfluidic chip described in Example 1.

[0119] The nanozyme test strip has a conventional structure, specifically:

[0120] The test strip includes a PVC base, a sample pad, a nitrocellulose membrane and an absorbent pad. The nitrocellulose membrane is adhered to the PVC base, and then the absorbent pad is adhered to the PVC base in a manner that covers 2 mm of the upper edge of the nitrocellulose membrane. The sample pad is also adhered to the PVC base in a manner that covers 2 mm of the lower edge of the nitrocellulose membrane. The quality control line on the nitrocellulose membrane is close to the absorbent pad, and the detection line on the nitrocellulose membrane is close to the sample pad. The complete nano enzyme immunochromatography test strip is assembled and then cut into test strips with a width of 4 mm using a strip cutter.

[0121] This example uses the detection of influenza A virus as an example to detect the NP protein of influenza A virus. In the detection system of this example, the dosage of the detection antibody for influenza A virus is 2 mg / mL; the line concentrations of other detection antibodies for different pathogens can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0122] In this embodiment, the influenza A virus detection line is influenza A virus monoclonal antibody (5.7 mg / mL, item number FLUA-REAB-G1-019), the quality control line antibody is goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (2 mg / mL, item number BF02001C), and the standard sample for detection is influenza A virus antigen standard (item number FA01). Goat anti-mouse IgG was purchased from Suzhou Biolong Technology Co., Ltd., influenza A virus monoclonal antibody was purchased from Hangzhou Feipeng Biological Co., Ltd., and influenza A virus antigen was purchased from Hangzhou Qitai Biological Co., Ltd.

[0123] The test strip test line and quality control line are prepared as follows:

[0124] 1) Preparation of test and control lines: Dilute influenza A virus monoclonal antibody (test antibody) to 2 mg / mL in 0.02 M PB and streak a nitrocellulose membrane using a streak marker to serve as the test line. Dilute goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (control antibody) to 2 mg / mL in 0.02 M PB and streak a nitrocellulose membrane using a streak marker to serve as the control line. Use a streak setting of 0.1 μL / mm and a 7 mm distance between the control and test lines. Dry the streaked nitrocellulose membrane at 37°C overnight to obtain the treated nitrocellulose membrane.

[0125] 2) Assemble the test strips: First, adhere the nitrocellulose membrane to the PVC base plate, then adhere the absorption pad to the PVC base plate in a way that covers 2 mm of the upper edge of the nitrocellulose membrane, and also adhere the sample pad to the PVC base plate in a way that covers 2 mm of the lower edge of the nitrocellulose membrane. Place the quality control line on the nitrocellulose membrane close to the absorption pad, and place the detection line on the nitrocellulose membrane close to the sample pad; the absorption pad is absorbent filter paper and the sample pad is glass fiber membrane; assemble into a complete nano enzyme immunochromatography test strip, and then use a strip cutter to cut into test strips with a width of 4 mm, as shown in the figure. Figure 8 .

[0126] 3) Installing a test strip: Install the above-mentioned nanozyme test strip in the centrifugal microfluidic chip of Example 1, and further install it in the test strip storage cavity (11).

[0127] Example 3: Method for using a centrifugal microfluidic chip containing a nanozyme test strip

[0128] This embodiment provides a method for realizing automatic detection using a centrifugal microfluidic chip containing a nanozyme test strip prepared in Example 1-2. The test strip used in this embodiment is the nanozyme immunochromatographic test strip prepared in Example 2. The antigen detected is an influenza A virus antigen. The monoclonal antibody used to detect the antigen is (FLUA-REAB-G1-019). When preparing the test line of the test strip, the concentration of the line is 2 mg / ml.

[0129] The detection method includes the following steps:

[0130] 4 μL of ruthenium nanozyme probe solution is injected into the first storage chamber (13) through the first injection hole (56), 80 μL of the sample solution to be detected is injected into the second storage chamber (12) through the second injection hole (57), 50 μL of DAB buffer solution is injected into the third storage chamber (1) through the fifth injection hole (61), 5 μL of H2O2 solution is injected into the fourth storage chamber (2) through the third injection hole (59), and 3 μL of DAB substrate solution is injected into the fifth storage chamber (3) through the fourth injection hole (60). Subsequently, a sealing member is used to seal the first injection hole (56), the second injection hole (57), the fifth injection hole (61), the fourth injection hole (60), the third injection hole (59), the first exhaust hole (55), and the second exhaust hole (58).

[0131] The chip positioning mechanism (30) is matched with its corresponding carrier to perform subsequent fluid control, and each liquid begins to flow along the microchannel in the chip at a certain rotation speed, thereby realizing the chromatography and color development reaction of the ruthenium nanozyme test strip.

[0132] The test results are judged as follows Figure 9 :

[0133] If the control line and the test line appear on the ruthenium nanoenzyme immunochromatographic test strip at the same time, the test result is positive, that is, influenza A virus is present in the sample to be tested;

[0134] If only the quality control line appears on the influenza A virus ruthenium nanozyme immunochromatographic test strip, the test result is negative, which means that there is no influenza A virus in the sample to be tested;

[0135] If only a test line appears on the influenza A virus ruthenium nanozyme immunochromatographic test strip, the test result is invalid and needs to be retested.

[0136] 2. Influenza A virus standard sample detection

[0137] (1) Purchase influenza A virus antigen and dilute it with chromatography buffer (50 mM TBS + 1% BSA + 0.5% NP40) to obtain influenza A virus antigen solutions of different concentrations for later use.

[0138] (2) 80 μL of influenza A virus antigens of different concentrations (7 different concentrations of influenza A virus antigens to be tested, 5000, 2500, 1000, 250, 50, 10 and 0 pg / mL) were injected into the second storage chamber (12) through the second injection hole (57), and the nanozyme probe solution, DAB buffer, DAB substrate solution and H2O2 solution were injected into the corresponding first storage chamber (13), third storage chamber (1), fifth storage chamber (3) and fourth storage chamber (2) through the first injection hole (56), fifth injection hole (61), fourth injection hole (60) and third injection hole (59) using a pipette. After the setting program is completed, the color development results are observed. In the color development mode, the T zone of the positive and low-concentration positive test paper appears brownish red.

[0139] The test results are as follows Figure 10 In seven influenza A virus antigen concentration tests, the lowest antigen detection concentration of the ruthenium nanozyme immunochromatographic test strip in the centrifugal microfluidic chip was 50 pg / mL, while the lowest antigen detection concentration of the commercial colloidal gold test strip was 2500 pg / mL.
