Abstract
Description
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 201910794754.1, filed on August 23, 2019, entitled “Solution sample processing device, apparatus and system and use thereof”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to the fields of cell and molecular biology and medical devices. Specifically, the present invention relates to a device, an apparatus and a system for processing a solution sample using relatively arranged ultrahigh frequency bulk acoustic wave resonators, and a method for separating and / or detecting a target biological substance in a biological sample, such as nucleic acid or protein of a cell or virus, using the device, an apparatus and a system. Background Art
[0003] The purification and detection of biomolecules, such as small molecules such as metabolites, as well as proteins and nucleic acids, are core issues of widespread concern in many basic biological mechanism research, medicine and disease diagnosis, and medical instrument development. The enrichment and mixing of these micron-sized organisms in small volume solutions has always been a hot research direction in the field of biochemistry, especially in applications such as nucleic acid extraction and solid phase synthesis. Efficient solid-liquid mixing of samples in milliliters or even hundreds of microliters and below is a prerequisite for effective biochemical reactions.
[0004] In the prior art, various physical fields are used to process the enrichment and mixing of solutions containing biomolecules. The existing related technologies include driving methods that apply mechanical energy or electrical energy. However, these technologies are limited by the disadvantages of high energy and low flux, and require a very large field strength distribution to be generated locally, which has great limitations on molecular manipulation. At the same time, the specificity of directly using physical fields to manipulate molecules is poor.
[0005] In addition, the portability of detection equipment is a major trend in the development of modern scientific instruments. Portable biosensor devices have a wider range of applications, such as home health testing, real-time detection of human health indicators, and diagnosis in remote areas with scarce medical resources. Generally speaking, portable sensors have the characteristics of small size, simple operation, fast and reliable, and relatively low price. Accordingly, only biosensor technologies or methods that meet the above characteristics are expected to be developed into portable biosensors first.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more effective and convenient method and system for enriching and mixing solution samples. Summary of the invention
[0007] In order to improve the solid-liquid mixing efficiency and further improve the biochemical reaction efficiency, the present invention provides a device for performing three-dimensional spatial particle operations on samples in a solution using relatively arranged ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonators, equipment and a system containing the device, as well as a method for mixing and enriching solution samples containing biological molecules and the like using the device, equipment or system. By adjusting the input power, the sample mixing function can be efficiently achieved, and the conversion between sample particle enrichment and mixing can be conveniently achieved.
[0008] Specifically, the present invention provides a device for processing a solution sample, which has a cavity for accommodating the solution and an ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator relatively arranged in the cavity, wherein the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator can generate a bulk acoustic wave with a frequency of about 0.5-50 GHz to generate a vortex in the solution.
[0009] In the method of the present invention, the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator can generate high-frequency (about 0.5-50GHz, for example, not less than 1.0GHz) vibrations, and induce bulk acoustic waves of corresponding frequencies in the solution. In one aspect of the present invention, the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator is a thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) or a solid-state assembly type resonator (SMR), preferably a solid-state assembly type resonator. In another aspect of the present invention, the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator is an acoustic wave resonator in a thickness stretching vibration mode, and a piezoelectric material thin film layer is grown in a vertical direction, and vibrations are excited by coupling a vertical electric field through a d33 piezoelectric coefficient. The ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator used in the present invention can generate a localized acoustic flow at the interface between the device and the liquid without the help of a coupling medium or structure. The bulk acoustic wave resonator of the present invention includes an acoustic wave reflection layer, a bottom electrode layer, a piezoelectric layer and a top electrode layer arranged in sequence from bottom to top. The overlapping area of the bottom electrode layer, the piezoelectric layer, the top electrode layer and the acoustic wave reflection layer constitutes a bulk acoustic wave generation area. The top surface of the UHF BAW resonator can be arranged on the wall of the cavity or other devices in the cavity, generating a BAW propagating perpendicular to the top of the resonator to the opposite side. The thickness of the piezoelectric layer of the UHF BAW resonator of the present invention ranges from about 1nm to 2um.
[0010] In this patent, the relative arrangement refers to the arrangement position and manner of the corresponding two or more BAW resonators in the cavity so that the BAW waves emitted by each of them propagate in opposite directions. For example, the two BAW resonators are respectively arranged at the bottom and top of the cavity, and the sound wave emission directions are opposite. In the device of the present invention, the relatively arranged ultra-high frequency BAW resonators include at least one group of BAW resonators with opposite sound wave emission directions, and each group of BAW resonators with opposite sound wave emission directions may include two BAW resonators with opposite sound wave emission directions, or may be multiple ultra-high frequency BAW resonators, for example, there are one or more BAW resonators in one sound wave propagation direction, and the corresponding BAW resonators arranged in the opposite direction may also be one or more.
[0011] In one aspect of the present invention, the distance between the relatively arranged ultrahigh frequency bulk acoustic wave resonators is about 0.1-5cm, preferably about 0.5-2cm, for example, about 0.8-1cm. In another aspect of the present invention, the distance between the relatively arranged ultrahigh frequency bulk acoustic wave resonators is about 0.1-2.0cm, preferably about 0.2-1.0cm, for example, about 0.2-0.8cm. In this article, the distance refers to the distance between each bulk acoustic wave resonator and its corresponding bulk acoustic wave resonator arranged in the opposite direction. For example, when the relatively arranged bulk acoustic wave resonators are two bulk acoustic wave resonators respectively arranged at the bottom and top of the cavity, and the sound wave emission directions are opposite to each other, the distance refers to the distance between the sound wave emission surfaces of the two bulk acoustic wave resonators. In the device of the present invention, the acoustic jet generated by the bulk acoustic wave emitted by the bulk acoustic wave resonator in the solution causes a vortex of the solution, and the vortex influence range generated by the relatively arranged bulk acoustic wave resonators can reach the position of the corresponding bulk acoustic wave resonator arranged in the opposite direction.
[0012] In one aspect of the present invention, the positions of the relatively arranged UHF BAW resonators are adjustable. For example, one of the relatively arranged BAW resonators is fixed at the bottom of the cavity, and the other is connected to a device that can move up and down and is arranged at the top.
[0013] In one aspect of the present invention, the area of the bulk acoustic wave generating region of the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator is about 1000-50000 μm 2 , preferably about 5000-20000 μm 2 .
[0014] In one aspect of the present invention, the device has a power regulating device that can independently regulate the power of the BAW generated by each of the relatively arranged UHF BAW resonators.
[0015] In one aspect of the present invention, the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator in the device generates bulk acoustic waves in an operating power range of about 100 mW or more, preferably 150-3000 mW, more preferably 200-2000 mW, for example about 400-800 mW.
[0016] In one aspect of the present invention, the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator in the device generates bulk acoustic waves in an operating power range of about 0.01-20 mW, preferably 0.1-10 mW, and more preferably 0.5-5 mW.
[0017] In one aspect of the present invention, the volume of the cavity in the device is about 100 μl-10 ml, preferably about 200 μl-5 ml, and more preferably about 500 μl-1 ml.
[0018] In one aspect of the present invention, the height of the cavity in the device is about 0.5-5 cm, preferably about 1-3 cm, such as about 1-2 cm.
[0019] In one aspect of the present invention, the solution sample is a biological sample (e.g., body fluid, blood, cell, virus, protein, lipid, carbohydrate, nucleic acid, aptamer, nucleoside). The solution may also contain magnetic or non-magnetic particles that can bind to the biological sample. Preferably, the size of the sample or particle is about 0.01 μm to about 100 μm, more preferably about 0.05 μm to about 20 μm, for example, about 0.5 μm to about 10 μm.
[0020] The present invention is based on the following unexpected findings by the inventors:
[0021] The UHF BAW resonator can induce eddies (or acoustic flow vortices) in the solution by emitting acoustic waves. The particles in the acoustic flow vortices are simultaneously affected by the acoustic radiation force and the drag force. When the UHF BAW resonators are arranged relatively and work at the same time, they have a chaotic convection effect, the vortex range is increased, and the particles in the blind area of the cavity boundary also enter the 3D eddy space under the drag force.
[0022] When the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonators are relatively arranged, but only one direction of the resonator is operated, a particle aggregation effect is generated: when the input power of the resonator is in a suitable range, for example, less than about 20 mW, the particles (such as particles with a size of 0.01 μm to about 100 μm) are mainly affected by the acoustic radiation force in the area close to the device, and will move from the outside to the inside along the vortex. When they move to the edge of the resonator, the central liquid is continuing to move from bottom to top. The particles will be pushed to the inner area deviating from the vortex trajectory due to the large horizontal component of the acoustic radiation force. When the particles are a certain distance away from the edge of the device, the acoustic radiation force decreases due to the distance, and the particles will be affected by the fluid drag force of the micro-vortex from top to bottom and move to the edge of the device again, and so on. When the particle size is small, the drag force is less affected, it is difficult to aggregate, and the aggregation time is longer.
[0023] In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a device for purifying a target substance in a solution sample, which includes the device described above, having a cavity for containing the solution and an ultrahigh frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator relatively arranged in the cavity, wherein the ultrahigh frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator can generate a bulk acoustic wave with a frequency of about 0.5-50 GHz, thereby generating a vortex in the solution.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the disclosure and teachings of the present invention belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0065] Example 1 Solution sample mixing and enrichment device
[0066] This embodiment provides an exemplary solution sample mixing and enrichment device of the present invention. Figure 1 Schematic diagram and structural diagram of an exemplary solution sample mixing and enrichment device of the present invention.
[0067] in, Figure 1 (A) is a schematic diagram of the solution sample mixing and enrichment device. The device includes a cavity that can hold a solution, and an inlet and an outlet (not shown) that can have a solution. The wall of the cavity is a polytetrafluoroethylene material that is biocompatible with cells or biomacromolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins. Figure 1 Two UHF BAW resonators are respectively arranged at the bottom and top of the device shown, and the two UHF BAW resonators can generate UHF BAW in the solution in the cavity with the propagation direction being the opposite side of the cavity. The surface of the UHF BAW resonator can be pre-treated by soaking in bovine serum albumin solution to prevent nucleic acid adhesion.
[0068] The ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator that can be used in the present invention can generate bulk acoustic waves with a frequency of about 0.5-50 GHz. The ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator includes a thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator or a solid-state assembly type resonator, such as a thickness stretching vibration mode acoustic wave resonator.
[0069] Figure 1 (B) is a structural diagram of the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator device. The surface of the resonator is a pentagon with a side length of about 100 μm. The signal line on the EVB board is connected to the top electrode of the bulk acoustic wave device (the middle position of the three-pronged structure) through a gold wire, and the bottom electrode of the bulk acoustic wave device (the two sides of the three-pronged structure) is connected to the ground position (non-signal position) on the EVB board. Then, the EVB board is connected to the signal generator through an SMA adapter to realize the input of high-frequency signals.
[0070] An exemplary ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator is a resonator having a Bragg acoustic reflection structure, Figure 1(C) is an internal structure diagram of the ultrahigh frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator, and its preparation method is as follows:
[0071] The chip is made step by step by performing chemical vapor deposition, metal sputtering, photolithography and other methods on silicon-based wafers. The specific methods are as follows:
[0072] 1. Use a piranha solution with a volume ratio of concentrated sulfuric acid to hydrogen peroxide of 3:1 to thoroughly clean the surface of the silicon wafer. This method can effectively remove organic and inorganic matter on the silicon wafer.
[0073] 2. On the cleaned silicon wafer, a layer of aluminum nitride film is formed by surface sputtering, and then a layer of silicon dioxide film is deposited by ion-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Then, the same method is used to alternately deposit aluminum nitride film and silicon dioxide film to form a Bragg acoustic reflection structure in which aluminum nitride and silicon dioxide alternately overlap.
[0074] 3. On the Bragg reflection layer structure, a 600nm molybdenum film is sputtered as the bottom electrode. Then, standard photolithography techniques, including coating, exposure, and development, are used to photolithograph the molybdenum electrode film, and then etching is performed to form a bottom electrode with a target pattern.
[0075] 4. Sputter an aluminum nitride film on the molybdenum electrode as a piezoelectric layer. Use dry etching to define a pattern on the aluminum nitride film. In this exemplary embodiment, a pentagonal shape is used.
[0076] 5. Use negative photoresist to transfer the pattern on the mask, and then sputter a 50nm thick titanium-tungsten alloy layer, which can increase the adhesion of the gold electrode as an adhesion layer. Then use the evaporation method to grow a 300nm thick gold film on the upper electrode. Finally, use acetone to remove the gold film around the target pattern to form a gold electrode with the target pattern.
[0077] In this exemplary embodiment, the UHF resonator surface is pentagonal, with a side length of about 100 μm and an area of about 25,000 μm. 2 .
[0078] The resonator device is connected to a network analyzer using a standard SMA interface, and the resonance peak is found by testing the spectrum. It can be measured that in this exemplary embodiment, the frequency of the bulk acoustic wave emitted by the ultra-high frequency resonator device in the cavity is 2.5 GHz.

An ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator provided according to the above preparation method is bonded and integrated with the bottom of the cavity, and another ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator is connected to the EVB board through a tube shell adapter. The device surface is perpendicular to the EVB surface and can be inserted into the cavity from the top of the cavity. Since the bulk acoustic wave resonator at the top is separated from the cavity, the distance between the two devices can be adjusted according to the amount of sample to be processed. In the experiment, two ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator devices are respectively arranged at both ends of the cavity, and can be adjusted in the range of 0.1 cm-2.0 cm according to the amount of sample to be processed. In one aspect of the present invention, the volume of the cavity in the device provided by the present invention is about 20 microliters-1 milliliter, preferably about 50 microliters-500 microliters, and more preferably about 100 microliters-200 microliters. In one aspect of the present invention, the device and method provided by the present invention are suitable for processing solutions of about 20 μl to 1 ml, preferably about 50 μl to 500 μl, and more preferably about 100 μl to 200 μl.
[0081] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a device for generating a magnetic field may also be provided at the bottom of the cavity containing the solution of the device, such as a device for generating magnetism by electromagnetic action, including an electromagnet. The device for generating a magnetic field may generally be provided near (e.g., below) the UHF BAW resonator at the bottom. The generated magnetic field may be used to adsorb magnetic particles in the solution, such as magnetic beads (which may bind / adsorb target biomacromolecules such as nucleic acids or proteins), etc. In this embodiment, an electromagnet is provided below the UHF BAW resonator at the bottom of the cavity.
[0082] Example 2
[0083] In the method and device of the present invention, an ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator emits an ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave in a solution in a cavity toward the opposite side, causing an acoustic flow vortex to appear in the solution; the forces acting on the particles in the solution include the fluid drag force (Stokes drag force) and the acoustic radiation force (acoustic radiation force) generated by the vortex. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram and experimental result diagram of the generation of bulk acoustic waves and acoustic flow vortices in the cavity by the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator in the method and device provided by the present invention, and the effect on particles in the solution.
[0084] Figure 2 (A) is a schematic diagram of the generation of bulk acoustic waves and acoustic flow vortices in the cavity by the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator in the method and device provided by the present invention, and the effect on particles in the solution. Figure 2As shown in (A), the UHF BAW generates an acoustic flow vortex in the solution, and the particles in the solution are subject to fluid drag force (Fdrag) and acoustic radiation force (Frad). In the area close to the UHF BAW resonator, the particles are mainly affected by the acoustic radiation force and move from the outside to the inside along the vortex. When they move to the edge of the resonator, the particles are pushed to the inner area deviating from the vortex trajectory due to the large horizontal component of the acoustic radiation force. When the particles are a certain distance away from the edge of the device, the acoustic radiation force decreases due to the distance, and the particles are again affected by the fluid drag force of the micro-vortex from top to bottom and move to the edge of the device, and so on. When the particles in the solution are far away from the UHF BAW resonator, they exceed the range of the acoustic radiation force and are mainly affected by the fluid drag force and spread in space.
[0085] Figure 2 (B) Experimental results of the forces and motion states of particles in a solution when an ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator generates bulk acoustic waves and acoustic flow vortices in a cavity in the exemplary methods and apparatus provided by the present invention. In the experiment, 200ul of polystyrene particles with a particle size of 5um (hereinafter referred to as PS particles or PS beads) were tested to observe their motion in the cavity of the device of the present invention. The motion of micron-scale particles can be observed under normal light. The velocity characterization of the flow field motion is accomplished by photographing the motion of the microspheres in the cavity under a high-speed microscope.
[0086] Figure 2 (B) The horizontal axis is time, and the vertical axis is the particle ratio (the ratio of particles to the total area of the field of view within a specified range). The points on the curve in the figure are the particle ratio values measured at different time points. Figure 2 As shown in (B), within the first second of the experiment (the inset is a photo of the device surface taken by a high-speed camera), when the input power of the UHF BAW resonator is lower than a certain power (for example, lower than about 20mW, preferably lower than 10mW, 5.4mW is used in the experiment in the figure), the center of the acoustic flow vortex is close to the device surface, and the PS spheres gather at the center of the vortex. When the power increases to a certain power (for example, greater than about 100mW, preferably greater than about 200mW, 200mW is used in the experiment in the figure), the center of the vortex in the cavity moves upward, and the acoustic flow effect is enhanced. At this time, the particles in the solution have moved away from the device and are beyond the range of the acoustic radiation force. They are mainly affected by the drag force of the fluid and quickly change from a focused state to a dispersed state in space. As shown Figure 2 As shown in (B), the small figure is a scatter diagram of the PS balls being scattered in space. The results show that within 1 second after the generation of the bulk acoustic wave, the PS balls can change from a focused state to a scattered state in space (i.e., being scattered).
[0087] Example 3
[0088] In the fields of biotechnology and clinical medicine, biological samples from which biomacromolecules such as nucleic acids or proteins need to be extracted can be samples with complex contents and high viscosity, such as whole blood samples and sputum samples. In other forms of applications that use acoustics to drive and stir solution samples, high power is usually required, which leads to high temperatures in the solution (especially small volume solutions), damage to the required cells or nucleic acids, or the need to add additional reagents, which affects subsequent reactions.
[0089] The inventors used the device and method of the present invention for generating bulk acoustic waves and swirls in a solution in a cavity using an ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator to conduct experiments in a liquid with high viscosity. 0.5 μl of fluorescently labeled PS particles with a particle size of 30 μm (Shanghai Huizhi Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Cat. No: GF030C) was added to 100 μl of 20% ethylene glycol aqueous solution, and then added to the exemplary device described in Example 1, and first only the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator on one side (bottom) was turned on. Figure 3 Display the results of the experiment. Figure 3 (A) shows the movement speed of tracer particles at different working powers of the UHF BAW resonator observed under a high-speed fluorescence microscope. Figure 3 (B) shows the mixing efficiency. According to the method and definition described in RJ Shilton et al., Sens. Actuators B: Chem. 2011, 160, according to the formula
[0090]
[0091]
[0092] Where M is defined as the mixing efficiency (mixing index),
[0093] The mixing efficiency is calculated by grayscale processing of matlab software. The UHF BAW resonator is in the off state for the first 12 seconds, and after it is turned on (working power is 100mW), the mixing efficiency quickly reaches about 70% and then continues for another 12 seconds, and the mixing efficiency is basically stable at about 75%. Figure 3 (C) Repeat Figure 3(B) Experimental steps, after 12 seconds, the UHF BAW resonator is turned on, and the mixing efficiency that can be achieved at the power of 0mW, 100mW, 200mW, and 400mW at 12 seconds after turning on is tested respectively. As shown in the figure, about 80% can be achieved at 400mW. However, the experiment found that when the UHF BAW resonator on one side is turned on, the mixing efficiency will show a platform phenomenon when it reaches a certain level by adjusting the BAW power: it is difficult to significantly improve the mixing efficiency after reaching a certain height, thereby affecting the binding efficiency of the biomacromolecules (such as nucleic acids or proteins) in the sample with the particles (such as magnetic beads) used to bind and adsorb the target biomacromolecules.
[0094] Example 4
[0095] The inventors further observed the simultaneous activation of relatively arranged UHF BAW resonators and compared the activation of one side of the UHF BAW resonator with that of the other side. Figure 4 (A) is a UHF BAW resonator with the bottom open alone. At a power of 400 mW, the motion state of polystyrene microspheres in a vertical section perpendicular to the surface of the UHF BAW resonator was photographed. The double vortex caused by the BAW (the arrow in the figure shows the direction of liquid flow) and the mixing effect on the microspheres in the solution can be observed. Figure 4 (B) shows the motion state of polystyrene microspheres in a vertical section of the UHF BAW resonator surface, taken at 400mW power, with the top and bottom UHF BAW resonators turned on at the same time. Figure 4 The two vortices shown by the upper arrows in (B) are caused by the BAW resonator set at the bottom (e.g. Figure 4 (A) The vortex observed in Figure 4 (B) The two vortices indicated by the lower arrows are caused by the BAW resonator set at the top. It can be observed that the vortex motion caused by the upper and lower BAW resonators is opposite, so the vortex action volume increases, and can act on the resonator surface set on the opposite side, playing a role in cleaning the surface of each other, allowing more particles to move into the three-dimensional space, and achieving a stronger mixing effect on the particles in the solution. When there are biomacromolecules (such as nucleic acids or proteins) and particles that can bind to target biomacromolecules (such as magnetic beads) in the solution, higher mixing can improve their binding efficiency.
[0096] Figure 4 (C) shows the experimental results of the exemplary methods and devices provided by the present invention for nucleic acid extraction.
[0097] The surface of the ultra-high frequency bulk acoustic wave resonator and the inner wall of the cavity in the device prepared in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 were soaked with bovine serum albumin solution to prevent the adsorption of nucleic acid on the surface. Whole blood was collected from SD mice (provided by Tianjin Yishengyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), and nucleic acids were extracted using the reagents (including magnetic beads, lysate, binding solution, washing solution, eluent, protease and its buffer) in the whole blood genomic DNA extraction kit (magnetic bead method) (Changzhou Jinmaige Biotechnology Co., Ltd., product number NA001-1). The main steps include:
[0098] 1. Add 200μl mouse blood sample, 200μl lysis buffer, and 10μl proteinase K to a 1.5ml nuclease-free centrifuge tube, mix thoroughly, and place in a 55℃ water bath for 10min. Invert and mix 3 times, 3-5 times each time. Then take out 20.5μL, 61.5μL, and 102.5μL of the lysis sample for nucleic acid extraction respectively;
[0099] 2. Add the three groups of samples after lysis into the cavity, and then add 15μl, 45μL, 75μL of binding solution and 10μl of magnetic beads respectively, open the bottom or both the top and bottom BAW resonators (input power 400mW) for 10min, and the nucleic acids bind to the magnetic beads;
[0100] 3. The bottom BAW resonator works at low power (input power is about 1-10mW) for 1 minute, combined with the electromagnetic suction outside the tube, so that all particles gather at the bottom and absorb the waste liquid;
[0101] 4. Use 500 μL of cleaning solution 1, open the bottom or both the top and bottom BAW resonators (input power 400 mW) to disperse the magnetic beads for 30 seconds, operate the bottom BAW resonator at low power (input power about 1-10 mW) for 1 minute, and combine with the electromagnetic suction outside the tube to make all the particles gather at the bottom and absorb the waste liquid;
[0102] 5. Use 500 μL of cleaning solution 2, open the bottom or both the top and bottom BAW resonators (input power 400 mW) to disperse the magnetic beads for 30 seconds, operate the bottom BAW resonator at low power (input power about 1-10 mW) for 1 minute, and combine with the electromagnetic suction outside the tube to make all the particles gather at the bottom and absorb the waste liquid;
[0103] 6. Repeat step 5;
[0104] 7. Ventilate and let stand, dry at room temperature for 10 minutes;
[0105] 8. 75°C elution buffer, 60 μL elution, 5 min at room temperature;
[0106] 9. Collect 60 μL of nucleic acid-containing eluate and use NanoDrop 2000 Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA) for nucleic acid quantitative detection.
[0107] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown in (C), the effects of turning on the UHF BAW resonator on one side of the bottom alone and turning on the UHF BAW resonators on both sides at the same time are compared. When the BAW resonator power is 400mW, the nucleic acid extraction efficiency of the UHF BAW resonator on both sides is significantly improved from 50% of the UHF BAW resonator on the bottom side alone to about 80%. Without being limited by this theory, the inventors believe that the improvement in the extraction effect is due to the fact that the vortex motion caused by the upper and lower BAW resonators has a stronger mixing effect on the particles in the solution, thereby improving the binding efficiency of the nucleic acid and the magnetic beads and ultimately improving the nucleic acid extraction efficiency.
