Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microorganism detection, and in particular relates to a microfluidic chip, a device and a method for selectively detecting microorganisms. Background Art
[0002] Infectious diseases caused by microbial infection pose a major risk to global food safety and public health, and have become a major issue of global concern. Timely monitoring and control of microbial contamination is an important task in the food hygiene industry.
[0003] Bioluminescence methods based on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) have been widely used in the food industry and environmental inspections to monitor and evaluate the cleanliness of various environmental surfaces. ATP is a molecule found in living cells that can produce bioluminescent signals in the presence of luciferase, luciferin, magnesium ions and oxygen, and the luminescent signal produced is proportional to the amount of ATP released by the lysed bacteria. Generally speaking, the content of ATP contained in each bacterium is relatively constant, so the luminescent signal produced is proportional to the concentration of bacteria in the sample.
[0004] Compared with the traditional culture-based detection of microorganisms, the detection of microorganisms based on ATP bioluminescence has the advantages of being simple and rapid. However, this method has limited application in the selective detection and quantification of specific bacteria because it cannot distinguish between different types of bacteria or distinguish whether the measured ATP comes from beneficial or harmful bacteria. Therefore, the current methods for measuring ATP levels cannot provide detailed information for identifying target bacteria and cannot correctly assess microbial risks.
[0005] Microfluidic chips have received extensive attention in the field of rapid testing in recent years due to their small size, small reagent usage, and easy operation. In addition, the high throughput of microfluidic chips helps to achieve simultaneous detection of multiple microorganisms in a sample, which can greatly reduce the cost of testing. Summary of the invention

[0025] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the channel has a width of 1 mm and a depth of 100 μm.

[0033] In the present invention, the microfluidic chip is provided with a plurality of detection holes for different types of target microorganisms, and the photothermal conversion nanomaterials containing antibodies in the reagents pre-buried in the detection holes can specifically bind to specific microorganisms. Under the irradiation of a near-infrared light source, the nanomaterials on the surface of the microorganisms convert light into heat and cause the microorganisms to lyse, thereby releasing ATP. The released ATP can produce bioluminescence with luciferase, luciferin and magnesium ions in the reagents in the presence of oxygen, and the signal is captured by an optical detection element. Therefore, the microfluidic chip described in the present invention can realize the simultaneous detection of different microorganisms.
[0034] In order to prevent the reagents embedded in the microfluidic chip from denaturing or inactivating, the constructed microfluidic chip needs to be sealed and packaged, and then unpacked when it is used.
[0035] The second aspect of the present invention provides a device for selectively detecting microorganisms, which includes a light-proof box, which is a hollow cuboid consisting of a box body and a box cover, and the interior of which is divided into two areas; a near-infrared light source is installed in one of the areas, a bracket for a detection chip is arranged above the near-infrared light source, the bracket is loaded with the microfluidic chip as described in the first aspect, an optical detection element is arranged above the microfluidic chip, so that each detection hole of the microfluidic chip coaxially corresponds to a near-infrared light source and an optical detection element; a signal conversion element is installed in the other area, and the signal conversion element is connected to the optical detection element;
[0036] A display screen is installed on the cover of the light-proof box, and the display screen is connected to the signal conversion element. The display screen can directly display the detected signal value.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, a chip socket is provided on the box body on the side of the light-proof box, and the microfluidic chip is inserted into or extracted from the chip socket.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the near-infrared light source is an LED light source or a laser diode. Each near-infrared light source is coaxially corresponding to each detection hole of the microfluidic chip.
[0039] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the optical detection element is a photodiode. Each optical detection element is coaxially corresponding to each detection hole of the microfluidic chip.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the signal conversion element includes a transimpedance amplifier, a signal acquisition card and a single-chip microcomputer connected in series. The transimpedance amplifier is connected to the optical detection element and is used to convert the optical signal into a voltage signal. The voltage signal is further converted into an instrument readable value by the signal acquisition card and the single-chip microcomputer connected to the transimpedance amplifier and displayed on the display screen on the box cover.
[0041] In the present invention, the display screen is also called a data display, which is used to display the detected signal value for easy direct reading.
[0042] In the present invention, the device further comprises a power supply, and the power supply is used to supply power to the device.
[0043] The third aspect of the present invention provides a method for selectively detecting microorganisms using the device according to the second aspect of the present invention, comprising the following steps:
[0044] S1, adding a sample to be tested containing microorganisms into a sample addition hole of the microfluidic chip;
[0045] S2, turning on the optical detection element and recording the first detection signal value of each detection hole;
[0046] S3, after incubating the microfluidic chip, turning on the near-infrared light source to illuminate each detection well for a period of time, turning on the optical detection element again, and recording the second detection signal value of each detection well;
[0047] S4, calculating the difference between the second detection signal value and the first detection signal value of each detection well, and judging whether the sample to be tested contains the target microorganism and / or calculating the concentration of the target microorganism according to the difference.
[0048] In step S1, the sample to be tested enters the detection holes and each channel on the channel layer through the sample addition hole, and further enters each detection hole.
[0049] In the present invention, the first detection signal value is the ATP present in the matrix of the sample to be tested, which has nothing to do with the microorganisms; the second detection signal value is the sum of the ATP released by the microorganisms in the sample to be tested and the ATP present in the matrix of the sample to be tested; the difference between the second detection signal value and the first detection signal value is the ATP released by the microorganisms in the sample to be tested.
[0050] In the present invention, when the sample to be tested contains target microorganisms, the target microorganisms can be combined with the antibodies coated on the photothermal conversion nanomaterials in the reagent through incubation, so that the antibody-coated photothermal conversion nanomaterials are attached to the surface of the microorganisms. Then, through irradiation with a near-infrared light source, the photothermal conversion nanomaterials attached to the surface of the microorganisms convert light energy into heat energy, thereby increasing the surface temperature of the microorganisms, and then causing the microorganisms to thermally decompose and release ATP.
[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, when the difference between the second detection signal value and the first detection signal value of a detection well is greater than 0, it indicates that the sample to be tested contains the target microorganism detected by the detection well.
[0052] In other embodiments of the present invention, when the difference between the second detection signal value and the first detection signal value of a detection well is greater than 0, the difference of the detection well is brought into the standard curve of the concentration of the target microorganism detected corresponding to the detection well and the detection signal difference, and the concentration of the target microorganism is calculated.
[0053] In the present invention, the standard curve of the concentration of the target microorganism and the difference in the detection signal can be obtained by detecting a series of target microorganism samples with known concentrations.
[0054] In the present invention, the detection signal difference refers to the difference between the second detection signal value and the first detection signal value of a target microorganism sample with a known concentration.
[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, in step S3, the incubation time is 15 to 20 minutes (for example, 20 minutes), and the incubation temperature is 15 to 37°C.
[0056] In some other embodiments of the present invention, in step S3, the irradiation time is 5 to 10 minutes, for example, 6 minutes.
[0057] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the specific operation of the method is: add the sample to be tested containing microorganisms to the sample well of the microfluidic chip, and the sample to be tested enters the channel of the middle layer from the upper sample well, and then enters each detection well. Immediately turn on the optical detection element and record the first detection signal value. This signal value is the ATP present in the matrix of the sample to be tested, which has nothing to do with the microorganism, that is, the background signal. Incubate at 15 to 37°C for 15 to 20 minutes, and the antibody-coated photothermal conversion nanomaterial (such as gold nanorods) binds to the surface of the target microorganism. Turn on the near-infrared light source to irradiate the detection well for 5 to 10 minutes and then turn it off. The photothermal conversion nanomaterial (such as gold nanorods) attached to the surface of the microorganism converts light energy into heat energy, so that the surface temperature of the microorganism increases until the microorganism is thermally cracked and releases ATP. Turn on the optical detection element again and record the second detection signal value. This signal value is the sum of the ATP released by the microorganism in the sample to be tested and the ATP in the matrix of the sample to be tested, and the difference between the two is the ATP released by the microorganism in the sample to be tested. The difference can then be used to determine whether the sample to be tested contains the target microorganism and / or calculate the concentration of the target microorganism.
[0058] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the microfluidic chip provided by the present invention is provided with a plurality of detection holes for different types of target microorganisms, and can detect different microorganisms simultaneously. The device and method containing the microfluidic chip can realize rapid selective detection of multiple specific microorganisms, which can greatly simplify the operation steps, and the device is portable.

[0075] Example 1: Rapid and selective detection of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and Bacillus cereus in milk samples.
[0076] The first detection hole of the microfluidic detection chip is pre-buried with freeze-dried powder of a mixture of gold nanorods coated with Escherichia coli antibodies and ATP bioluminescent substrates, the second detection hole is pre-buried with freeze-dried powder of a mixture of gold nanorods coated with Staphylococcus aureus antibodies and ATP bioluminescent substrates, the third detection hole is pre-buried with freeze-dried powder of a mixture of gold nanorods coated with Salmonella antibodies and ATP bioluminescent substrates, the fourth detection hole is pre-buried with freeze-dried powder of a mixture of gold nanorods coated with Bacillus cereus antibodies and ATP bioluminescent substrates, the fifth detection hole is pre-buried with freeze-dried powder of a mixture of gold nanorods without antibody coating and ATP bioluminescent substrates, and the sixth detection hole is pre-buried with freeze-dried powder of a mixture of bacterial lysis reagent and ATP bioluminescent substrates. The fifth detection hole is a negative control hole, because its gold nanorods are not coated with antibodies, so no gold nanorods are attached to the bacterial surface, so no bacteria are lysed and ATP is released. The sixth detection well is a positive control well, and the bacterial lysis reagent can lyse all bacteria to release ATP. The mass concentration of the gold nanorods coated with the corresponding antibodies in the pre-embedded mixed solution in the first detection well to the fourth detection well is 0.025 mg / mL, and the aspect ratio of the gold nanorods is 4.1, and the mass concentration of the ATP bioluminescent substrate (mixed substrate powder of luciferase, luciferin and magnesium ions) is 5 mg / mL.
[0077] The detection steps are specifically as follows: after the milk sample is injected into each detection hole from the sample addition hole during the detection, a photodiode is immediately used to detect the signal and record the first detection signal values of the six detection holes, wherein the first detection signal values in the first detection hole-the fourth detection hole are 0.25, 0.26, 0.19, and 0.3, respectively, and the signal value at this time is the ATP present in the milk matrix. The microfluidic chip is incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the antibody-coated gold nanorods to bind to the surface of the target microorganism. Then, the six LED light sources located at the bottom of the microfluidic chip are turned on to illuminate the corresponding detection holes for 6 minutes and then turned off, so that the gold nanorods attached to the surface of the bacteria in the six different detection holes undergo photothermal conversion, thereby lysing the bacteria to release ATP. The photodiode is used again to detect the signal and record the second detection signal values of the six detection holes, wherein the second detection signal values in the first detection hole-the fourth detection hole are 2.09, 1.782, 1.8, and 2.26, respectively, and the signal value at this time is the sum of the ATP released by the corresponding microorganism in the milk sample and the ATP in the matrix.
[0078] After calculation, the difference between the second detection signal value and the first detection signal value in the first detection well to the fourth detection well (ATP released by the corresponding specific microorganism in the milk sample) is 1.84, 1.522, 1.61, and 1.96, respectively, and the above difference is brought into the corresponding standard curve (such as Figure 5As shown), the concentrations of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella and Bacillus cereus in the milk samples were obtained.
[0079] The concentrations of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella and Bacillus cereus in milk samples were calculated to be 10 5 CFU / mL, 10 5 CFU / mL, 10 5 CFU / mL, 10 5 CFU / mL.
