Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microfluidic chip luminescent immunoassay, and in particular relates to a magnetic particle luminescent double-layer microfluidic chip and a detection system. Background Art
[0002] At present, there are two main development trends of in vitro diagnosis (IVD): one is automation and integration, that is, using the fully automated, highly sensitive large-scale instruments and equipment of the central laboratory of large hospitals to achieve high-precision disease analysis and diagnosis; the other is miniaturization and bedside, that is, through small and simple handheld equipment, to achieve on-site rapid analysis and diagnosis. However, small hospitals are short of funds and have small sample sizes, and are not suitable for purchasing expensive large equipment. Therefore, the rapid detection equipment used by most hospitals at this stage is mainly test strips and their supporting equipment, but test strips can only achieve qualitative or semi-quantitative detection, with low detection sensitivity, poor specificity, poor repeatability, and obvious interference. Due to China's large population, aggravated aging, and a sharp increase in the incidence rate, relying solely on large hospitals is overwhelmed. Therefore, it has become extremely urgent to develop rapid detection methods and equipment that are easy to operate, highly sensitive, repeatable, and quantitatively accurate.
[0003] Microfluidic chip technology integrates the basic operation units such as sample preparation, reaction, separation, and detection in the biological, chemical, and medical analysis process into a micron-scale chip to automatically complete the entire analysis process. Due to its huge potential in the fields of biology, chemistry, and medicine, it has developed into a multidisciplinary research field such as biology, chemistry, medicine, fluids, materials, and machinery, and has been applied to biomedical research, biochemical testing, forensic identification, and other fields. However, the existing microfluidic chip is provided with a top plate and a bottom plate. When the sample flows from the top plate to the bottom plate, since the channels of the bottom plate are at the same level, the sample will automatically flow backward along the channel due to gravity. In some detection projects, only a small amount of the sample needs to be taken to complete the detection and analysis. If the sample flows from the top plate to the bottom plate and flows directly in the bottom plate, it will greatly affect the final detection result and cause errors in the detection result. In addition, the sample flows along the channel of the bottom plate, and the flow path of the sample cannot be limited. It is impossible to ensure that the sample flowing to the detection area is completely filtered, which further affects the final detection result. Summary of the invention
[0004] The embodiment of the present invention provides a magnetic particle luminescent double-layer microfluidic chip and a detection system, aiming to solve the problem that in the existing microfluidic chip, after the sample flows from the top plate to the bottom plate, it flows directly in the bottom plate and the flow path of the sample cannot be limited.

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0025] The present invention designs a magnetic particle luminescent double-layer microfluidic chip and a detection system. The sample enters from the sample adding part 11, mixes with the labeled ligand in the sample mixing area 13, and then enters the groove 211 of the guide area 21. Since the groove 211 is lower than the bottom wall of the magnetic particle coating part 22, the sample in the groove 211 can be sucked away by capillary action. The sample enters the magnetic particle coating part 22 from the guide part 212, and then fully mixes and reacts with the magnetic particle ligand. After being cleaned with the cleaning liquid in the cleaning area 23, luminescent detection is realized in the detection area 24.
[0026] Embodiment 1
[0027] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first embodiment of the present invention provides a magnetic particle luminescent double-layer microfluidic chip. The magnetic particle luminescent double-layer microfluidic chip includes a top plate 1 and a bottom plate 2 arranged on the top plate 1 .
[0028] The top plate 1 includes a sample adding part 11, a labeled ligand storage part 12 and a sample mixing area 13. The labeled ligand storage part 12 is provided with a labeled ligand inside, and the sample mixing area 13 is communicated with the sample adding part 11 and the labeled ligand storage part 12 respectively.
[0029] The bottom plate 2 includes a flow guide area 21 interconnected with the sample mixing area 13, a magnetic particle coating part 22 interconnected with the flow guide area 21, a cleaning area 23 interconnected with the magnetic particle coating part 22, a detection area 24 interconnected with the cleaning area 23, and a cleaning liquid storage part 25 interconnected with the cleaning area 23. The flow guide area 21 is provided with a groove 211 whose height is lower than the bottom wall of the magnetic particle coating part 22, a flow guide part 212 arranged on the groove 211 and connected to the magnetic particle coating part 22, a truncation groove 213 arranged below the front end of the flow guide part 212, and a blocking part 214 arranged on the flow guide part 212. The flow guide part 212 can be a blood filter membrane, and the blocking part 214 can be plastic paper. The bottom wall of the truncation groove 213 is also provided with a blood filter membrane. The height of the truncation groove 213 is lower than the height of the groove 211. The magnetic particle coating part 22 is provided with a magnetic particle ligand solution, and the cleaning liquid storage part 25 is provided with a cleaning liquid.
[0030] For example, if the sample is a whole blood sample, the sample to be tested can be placed in the sample adding part 11, and the sample enters the sample mixing area 13 through the sample adding part 11. At this time, the labeled ligand inside the labeled ligand storage part 12 also enters the sample mixing area 13, and the sample and the labeled ligand are mixed in the sample mixing area 13, and then enter the guide part 212 of the guide area 21 from the sample mixing area 13. After passing through the guide area 21, the plasma and blood cells in the sample are separated, and the plasma enters the magnetic particle coating part 22 from the guide part 212, while the blood cells remain in the guide area 21. Since the groove 211 of the guide area 21 is lower than the bottom wall of the magnetic particle coating portion 22, similarly, the height of the guide portion 212 is also lower than the bottom wall of the magnetic particle coating portion 22. After the sample enters the guide area 21, it will not automatically enter the magnetic particle coating portion 22 from the guide portion 212 due to gravity, but the sample will be sucked away from the guide portion 212 by capillary action. In this way, a smaller volume of sample that can meet the detection requirements can be sucked away from a larger volume of sample, thereby avoiding the large volume of the sample affecting the detection result. Furthermore, when the sample enters the flow guide area 21, due to the action of the cut-off groove 213 and the blocking part 214, the sample can only flow over the blocking part 214, and the sample that does not flow through the flow guide part 212 will fall into the cut-off groove 213, so that the sample can only flow from the flow guide part 212 into the capillary channel of the magnetic particle coated part 22, limiting the flow area of the sample flowing into the magnetic particle coated part 22, and will not flow out of the flow guide part 212, causing the test sample to flow into the capillary channel of the magnetic particle coated part 22 from other areas, so that the filtering effect is better and the test result is more accurate. It is worth mentioning that if the test sample is whole blood, the red blood cells will not flow over the capillary channel of the magnetic particle coated part 22 from the front end of the flow guide part 212, but will be subjected to the capillary action of the capillary channel, and the plasma after adsorption and filtration will enter the magnetic particle coated part 22.
[0031] After the sample after the flow is directed reaches the corresponding position of the magnetic particle coating part 22, the analyte in the sample reacts with the magnetic particle ligand solution, the external magnet collects the magnetic particles in the magnetic particle ligand solution, and the sample after the reaction enters the washing area 23, and the external magnet also drives the magnetic particles into the washing area 23. At this time, the washing liquid in the washing liquid storage part 25 is released, and the washing liquid enters the washing area 23 to wash the magnetic particles in the sample, and the sample then enters the detection area 24 from the washing area 23, and the external magnet also drives the magnetic particles into the detection area 24, thereby realizing the quantitative detection of the analyte in the sample.
[0032] The blood filter membrane is pre-set in the flow guide area 21, wherein the blood filter membrane can separate the liquid from the cells through physical pores or biological / chemical reagents, thereby separating the plasma from the red blood cells, and the plasma flows to the magnetic particle coating part 22, while the red blood cells stay on the blood filter membrane, thereby reducing the interference of the red blood cells on the test results. The biological / chemical reagents include coagulants, etc., which can connect the red blood cells, form clots, and increase the size. The red blood cells after the increase in size are more easily blocked by the mesh structure of the blood filter membrane, thereby more effectively reducing the interference of the red blood cells on the experimental results.
[0033] The cleaning solution is pre-stored in the cleaning solution storage unit 25, and the cleaning solution is used to clean the magnetic beads and remove non-specifically adsorbed analytes, luminescent markers and other substances that affect the test results. The cleaning solution mainly contains buffer reagents, proteins and surfactants, wherein the buffer reagents include but are not limited to borate, phosphate, Tris-HCl and acetate, etc., and the pH range of the cleaning solution is 6.0-10.0. The proteins include but are not limited to bovine serum albumin, casein, etc. The surfactant includes but is not limited to Tween 20, Tween 80, Triton X-100, polyethylene glycol and polyvinyl pyrrolidone, etc. Preferably, in this embodiment, the cleaning solution used is a pH7.0 Tris-HCl buffer containing bovine serum albumin, Tween 2 0 and Proclin 300.
[0034] In this embodiment, the labeled ligand storage part 12, the magnetic particle coating part 22 and the cleaning liquid storage part 25 are sealed cavities, and the sealing material used is an elastic material or a high barrier film, specifically glass, plastic, rubber, aluminum foil or a high barrier film, wherein the sealing material can be composed of the same material or a combination of multiple materials. Under physical extrusion, the labeled ligand storage part 12, the magnetic particle coating part 22 and the cleaning liquid storage part 25 can be partially ruptured, thereby releasing the stored materials.
[0035] Embodiment 2
[0036] refer to Figure 1 On the basis of the first embodiment, the top plate 1 of the fourth embodiment is further provided with an air pump 14 interconnected with the sample adding part 11. The air pump 14 is an air bag built into the top plate 1. By repeatedly squeezing or releasing the air bag, the air in the air bag repeatedly enters and exits the sample adding part 11 and the sample mixing area 13, thereby driving the liquid in the top plate 1 to flow.
[0037] The air pump 14 is used to absorb or squeeze the air in the sample mixing area 13, so that the sample and the labeled ligand flow to the sample mixing area 13, and by repeatedly absorbing or squeezing the air in the top plate 1, the sample and the labeled ligand are fully mixed in the sample mixing area 13, and after mixing, the sample is driven from the sample mixing area 13 into the guide area 21.
[0038] It should be noted that since the air pump 14 needs to work in a sealed environment, in order to seal the inside of the chip, it is necessary to close the cover after adding the sample to the sample port to seal the inside of the chip and ensure the driving effect of the air pump 14.
[0039] Embodiment 3
[0040] refer to Figure 1 On the basis of the second embodiment, the top plate 1 of the third embodiment is provided with an elastic member at the air pump 14 and the sample mixing area 13.

[0041] Embodiment 4
[0042] refer to Figure 1 On the basis of the second embodiment, the air pump 14 of the fourth embodiment is provided with a porous elastic member inside, and the porous elastic member can be a sponge. The air pump 14 needs to be pressed repeatedly. After pressing the air pump 14, the pressing force is removed, and the porous elastic member can provide a rebound force for the pump surface of the air pump 14, so that the pump surface returns to a tight state. The porous elastic member is provided with a plurality of orifices, which can enable the porous elastic member to reduce the volume inside the air pump 14, and help the air pump 14 to be further miniaturized.

[0046] Specifically, the cover is provided with a first clamp or a first clamp hole, and a second clamp hole or a second clamp is provided at a position adjacent to the sample adding port, and the cover closes the sample adding port through the cooperation between the first clamp and the second clamp hole, or the cooperation between the first clamp hole and the second clamp. In addition, the cover is also provided with a sealing member adapted to the sample adding port, and when the cover is closed, the sealing member is simultaneously inserted into the sample adding port to prevent the sample from leaking out of the sample adding port.
[0047] Furthermore, the sample adding part 11 further comprises a rubber ring disposed on the sample adding port. Since the sample is often added from the outside through a pipette tip, the rubber ring is elastic and helps to seal with the pipette tip, so that the sample can be injected from the sample adding port more smoothly.
[0048] Embodiment 6
[0049] On the basis of the first embodiment, the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 of the sixth embodiment are provided with limiting notches at corresponding positions. The limiting notches are notches provided at one end of the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2, which are not shown in the figure. Since the magnetic particle luminescent double-layer microfluidic chip is in the detection process, in order to avoid the displacement of the magnetic particle luminescent double-layer microfluidic chip, it is necessary to perform limiting operation on the magnetic particle luminescent double-layer microfluidic chip. The limiting notch cooperates with the external limiting structure to firmly fix the chip during the detection process to avoid its displacement, thereby ensuring the smooth progress of the detection.

Through the above-mentioned buckling method, the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 can be detachably arranged, which is convenient for operators to check or replace. After buckling, it can ensure that the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 are firmly fixed to each other.
