The reaction area 131 is in the microfluidic channel between the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, in other words, the reaction area partially coincides with the microfluidic channel. The microfluidic sample to be tested is designed to react with the fixed pre-prepared reagent in the reaction area during the flow in the microfluidic channel, at this time, the reaction area is the most downstream area.
[0034] The pump body 41 is located upstream of the reaction area, used to passively drive the microfluidic sample to flow in the microfluidic channel, in other words, by controlling the pressure applied to the pump body, a driving force can be provided for the flow of the microfluidic sample, which drives the microfluidic sample to be tested entering the microfluidic channel to continue to flow downstream. The pressure value applied to the pump body can be pre-set and associated with the advancing position of the microfluidic sample in the microfluidic channel after entering the microfluidic channel, that is, when the pressure value applied to the pump body is pre-set to a certain value, the microfluidic sample in the microfluidic channel is at a certain position, this design can be used to confirm the success of the microfluidic sample addition, and to determine that the microfluidic sample has entered the determined area.
[0035] The valve body includes two, one of the valve bodies 31 is arranged downstream of the fluid inlet, for controlling the on-off between the fluid inlet and the microfluidic channel, and is in the open state before the microfluidic sample enters the microfluidic channel; the second valve body 32 is arranged downstream of the first valve body and between the pump body and the microfluidic channel, for controlling the on-off between the pump body and the microfluidic channel, in other words, the second valve body controls the first pump body to determine whether to provide driving force for the microfluidic sample; the second valve body is also used to assist in determining the volume of the microfluidic sample finally participating in the reaction.

[0038] The lock body 21 is arranged downstream of the second valve body, and is used to define the volume of the microfluid sample to be tested. When the microfluid sample to be tested flows into the microfluid channel from the fluid inlet, and the front end of the microfluid sample to be tested contacts the lock body, the flow stops, and the volume of the microfluid sample to be tested in the microfluid channel between the fluid inlet and the lock body is the defined volume of the microfluid sample to be tested. In a further embodiment, the lock body and the second valve body cooperate to define the volume of the microfluid sample to be tested. When the microfluid sample to be tested flows into the microfluid channel from the fluid inlet, and the front end of the microfluid sample to be tested contacts the lock body, the flow stops, the first valve body is closed, the second valve body is opened, and the pump body drives the microfluid sample to be tested in the microfluid channel to flow downstream between the second valve body and the lock body, and the part of the microfluid sample to be tested flowing downstream is the defined volume of the microfluid sample to be tested.

[0049] Microfluidic detection device
[0050] like Figure 6 ,Figure 7 , Figure 8 Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the configuration of the microfluidic detection device according to the present application, including the main control board, the display screen, the load position, the magnetic module, the temperature module, the optical module, the electrical module, the actuator, the battery, the power interface, and the timer. In the specific embodiment, the optical module and the electrical module at least include one of them; the magnetic module, the temperature module, and the display screen are optional designs, which can be included in the microfluidic detection device or not.
[0051] The power interface provides power for the operation of the detection device, and can charge the battery. The battery helps the detection device to work normally without power access, and realizes the portability of the detection device. After the detection device is turned on, the detection device is placed into the detection device. After the microfluidic sample detection device is accurately placed on the load position in the detection device, the load position will generate a loaded signal and transmit it to the main control board. The detection device and the detection device complete the signal connection, and the main control board commands the detection device to start running. In another embodiment, the main control board can be prompted to command the detection device to start running by clicking the button on the detection device.
[0052] The timer is pre-set to count down at least one reaction waiting time, which is to determine a fixed time period for the reaction of the microfluidic sample in the microfluidic channel. In another embodiment, the timer can also be set to count down the microfluidic sample loading waiting time, and the time when the detection device and the detection device complete the signal connection is the starting point of the loading waiting time. When the time in the timer is up, it is determined that the microfluidic sample to be tested has been successfully added. When the timer is used to determine that the sample has been successfully added, it is not necessary to use the above-mentioned optical detection unit to determine that the sample has been successfully added. In another embodiment, the timer can also be set to count down the time for the microfluidic sample to reach the fixed region (such as the reaction area). The countdown starts when the microfluidic sample starts to flow, and when the countdown ends, the microfluidic sample reaches the fixed region.
[0053] The actuator provides pressure to the pump body of the detection device, and provides pressure to the pump body after the microfluid sample to be detected is successfully added, compresses the pump body to drive the sample to flow to the downstream region of the microfluid channel in the detection device, where the downstream region refers to, for example, a processing region, a reaction region, a detection region, etc. In some embodiments, the pressure value applied by the actuator to the pump body can be pre-set and associated with the position of the microfluid sample in the microfluid channel after it enters the microfluid channel, that is, when the pressure value applied to the pump body is pre-set to a certain value, the microfluid sample in the microfluid channel is at a certain position, this design can be used to confirm that the microfluid sample is successfully added, and to determine that the microfluid sample has entered a certain region. For example, when the actuator applies a pressure value to a certain value, the microfluid sample flows to the reaction region, and in such embodiments, the countdown of the time for the microfluid sample to reach the fixed region in the above-mentioned timer can not be set. The actuator provides pressure to the valve body to close the valve body to close the microfluid channel, or releases the pressure to open the valve body to make the microfluid channel pass through. The optical module includes a light detection unit, which detects the reaction result of the microfluid sample to be detected, and the detection result is displayed on the display screen after being processed by the main control board. Or the optical module also includes a photoelectric conversion unit, and the detection result is displayed on the display screen after being processed by the main control board after being converted into an electrical signal by the photoelectric conversion unit.
[0054] In another aspect, the optical module is also used to determine whether the microfluid sample to be detected has been successfully added to the detection device, and the light detection unit determines that the microfluid sample to be detected has been successfully added by continuously detecting the light reflection state of the same position of the microfluid channel at different time points and converting it into an electrical signal by the photoelectric conversion unit.
[0055] The electrical module includes an electrical connector and an electrical detection unit, and the electrical connector provides a matched electrical contact for the electrode contact in the microfluid detection device. The microfluid detection device has as many electrical contacts as the microfluid detection device has electrical contacts. The main control board commands the electrical detection unit to output a continuous weak electrical signal (the time to stop outputting is after the microfluid sample to be detected is successfully added), which cannot be detected in the case of open circuit. When the detection device has been accurately placed on the load position of the detection equipment, the electrode contact on the detection device is matched with the electrical contact on the electrical connector, indicating that the detection device and the detection equipment have completed the electrical connection of the electrode. The electrical module determines that the microfluid sample to be detected has been successfully added by detecting the electrical signal between the electrodes. Alternatively, since the time taken by a microfluid sample of a certain volume to pass through a microfluid channel of a certain size is determined, the addition waiting time of the microfluid sample is pre-set in the timer, and the time when the detection device and the detection equipment complete the signal connection is taken as the starting point of the addition waiting time, and when the time in the timer is up, it is determined that the microfluid sample to be detected has been successfully added.
[0056] After the microfluid sample to be tested completes the reaction, the electrical detection unit of the electrical module detects the current generated by the electron transfer, and the current signal is transmitted to the main control board of the detection device through the electrode contact one and the electrode contact two through the corresponding electrical contact pins, and the detection result is displayed on the display screen after being processed by the main control board.
[0057] The magnetic module includes a magnet and a magnetic shielding body, the magnet is fixed near the downstream region of the microfluid channel in the detection device, and the magnet is isolated from the downstream region of the microfluid channel by the magnetic shielding body. When the microfluid sample to be tested enters the downstream region of the microfluid channel and the microfluid sample to be tested needs to be magnetically adsorbed and separated, the main control board commands the magnetic shielding body to move so that the magnetic field generated by the magnet acts on the microfluid sample to be tested.
[0058] The temperature module includes a heating unit, and the heating unit is fixed near the downstream region of the microfluid channel in the detection device. The main control board commands the heating unit to provide the required processing temperature for the microfluid sample to be tested, or to provide the required reaction temperature.

[0060] The above microfluid sample detection device is loaded into a microfluid sample detection device to form a microfluid sample detection system. The detection device is electrically connected with the microfluid detection device. The detection device determines that the signal connection with the microfluid detection device is completed by receiving the load signal of the load position of the main control board, or the detection device determines that the electrode electrical connection with the microfluid detection device is completed by the signal formed by the electrode contact and the electrical contact pin of the electrical connector.
[0061] The microfluid detection device is prepared into a microfluid detection device for blood glucose detection. Red blood cells are used as the first target object, and magnetic particle combined anti-red blood cell antibodies are preloaded in region one. Glucose is used as the second target object, and a preparation containing glucose oxidase and an electron mediator is preloaded in region two. In this case, both region one and region two are reaction regions. The microfluid detection device for blood glucose detection is loaded into the detection device to form a microfluid sample detection system.
[0062] The above tests were repeated 10 times each using blood samples with glucose concentrations of 50 mg / dL, 100 mg / dL, 250 mg / dL, 400 mg / dL, and 550 mg / dL, respectively, and the results were obtained. A biochemical standard instrument was used as a control. The same blood samples were also tested 10 times each on existing conventional electrochemical blood glucose detection products: Brand A (high performance) and Brand B (mediocre performance), and the results are shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows that, compared with both Brand B and Brand A, the standard deviation and coefficient of variation are significantly reduced, indicating that the test results of this invention have lower data dispersion and lower repeatability among the glucose concentration measurements in the blood samples. The accuracy of the data in Table 1 was studied and plotted. Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the R of the present invention 2 Significantly outperformed traditional brand B products with average performance, and outperformed traditional brand R products with excellent performance. 2 This indicates that the glucose content measured in blood samples by the present invention is closer to the true value, and its accuracy is higher than that of existing products that perform well.
