Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of biomedical detection and microfluidic chips, and more specifically to a fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection. Background Art

[0002] As one of the main methods of in vitro diagnosis, nucleic acid testing is the gold standard for screening, prevention and control of infectious diseases. Conventional PCR nucleic acid testing experiments require each step to be completed in a partitioned laboratory, and require professional operators and expensive analytical instruments, which cannot be met by primary medical institutions.

[0003] POCT (Point-of-Care Testing) refers to rapid testing and diagnosis performed at the patient's side. Its technical advantages are mainly reflected in: simple operation, no need for professionals; reduced sample transmission, saving testing time; portable instruments and reagents. Nucleic acid testing products based on POCT technology can be said to have the characteristics of high sensitivity and high specificity of molecular diagnosis and the advantages of POCT being small, portable and fast, which is more conducive to the deployment of primary medical institutions, airports, communities and other places.

[0004] Microfluidic chip technology integrates the basic operating units of biological, chemical and medical analysis processes such as sample preparation, reaction, separation and detection into a chip of several centimeters in size, and automatically completes the entire analysis process. It has the advantages of small size, low sample consumption and fast analysis speed. It has broad application prospects in the functional integration of POCT products, especially nucleic acid analysis POCT products with complex processes and high system sealing requirements.

[0005] Through microfluidic manipulation technology, trace liquid samples can be distributed to different reaction pools on the microfluidic chip to achieve simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens. The heating process in the nucleic acid amplification process will accelerate the evaporation of trace sample reagents and the cross-liquidity between different reaction pools, causing interference with the result detection. Therefore, the separation of different reaction pools during the amplification process plays an important role. Furthermore, the application occasions of microfluidic chips used for POCT nucleic acid detection are non-professional environments such as communities and families, which do not have the ability to prevent aerosol pollution. Therefore, the sealing of such microfluidic chips is also an important performance evaluation indicator.

[0006] Microvalve is one of the most important functional units in microfluidic chips for realizing microfluidic manipulation. Its basic function is to realize the conduction and isolation of microfluidic channels. Designing different valve structures in microchannels has become the main technical approach for the current development of nucleic acid detection microfluidic chips to achieve amplification pool isolation, including torque microvalves and phase change microvalves, but both require peripheral instruments to provide actuation force to complete the opening and closing of valves one by one, resulting in an increase in the number of manipulation steps with the number of reaction pools, high requirements for instrument automation, complex chip processing technology, and high cost.

[0007] The pneumatic valve proposed by Quake's research group in 2000 has the advantages of simple structure, fast response speed, and easy large-scale integration. It is very suitable for realizing the one-time partition of multiple amplification pools for nucleic acid detection. However, the reason why this technology has not yet been applied in the field of POCT molecular detection is that the air pressure source of the pneumatic valve is difficult to integrate into the microfluidic chip. After the detection is completed, the chip needs to be separated from the external air pressure source. The anti-aerosol contamination function of the pneumatic valve will also fail. In addition, it is difficult to avoid the problem of biological contamination caused by gas overflow by relying only on a single-layer pneumatic valve during the amplification process.

[0008] Therefore, how to provide a fully enclosed microfluidic chip integrated with an equipment-free pneumatic valve that is of great value to the development of the POCT nucleic acid detection field is a problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0009] In view of this, the present invention provides a fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, aiming to solve the above technical problems.

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] A fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, comprising a reaction layer, a first adhesive layer, an elastic film, a second adhesive layer and a sample loading layer which are sequentially attached from bottom to top, wherein a pressure cover is snap-fitted on the top of the sample loading layer;

[0012] The middle part of the top surface of the reaction layer is provided with an injection port, a plurality of reaction pools arranged around the injection port, and a number of gas filtering pools arranged around the plurality of reaction pools, which are the same as the number of the reaction pools; the injection port is connected to the reaction pools through inflow channels, respectively, and the reaction pools are connected to the gas filtering pools through outflow channels, respectively;

[0013] The first adhesive layer is provided with conformal notches corresponding to the injection port, the inflow channel, the reaction pool, the outflow channel and the gas filter pool;

The chip is small in size, simple in sample addition, and has good sealing performance, and is very suitable for POCT nucleic acid detection, such as PCR amplification, LAMP, RPA, CRISPR isothermal amplification, etc. In addition, the chip has a regular appearance, a simple structure, and no requirements for equipment in the fluid drive and sealing process, so it is easy to match with different systems, and can also meet the requirements of batch manufacturing and low cost.

[0019] Preferably, in the above-mentioned fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, the side wall of the pressure cover is connected to the side wall of the sample loading layer via a flexible hinge, so as to achieve an integrated connection between the pressure cover and the sample loading layer.

[0020] Preferably, in the above-mentioned fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, the inner side wall of the gland has a plurality of buckles, and the side wall of the sample loading layer has a plurality of slots that match the buckles. The slots on the gland completely match the buckles on the sample loading layer, and the gland assists in squeezing and sealing the sample loading layer, so that the sample added to the chip is completely isolated from the external environment.

[0021] Preferably, in the above-mentioned fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, the middle part of the inner side of the gland has a raised embedded ring, a sealing gasket is embedded in the embedded ring, and the sealing gasket is pressed tightly at the top opening of the sample pool. The sealing gasket is tightly attached to the top of the sample pool to seal the sample pool.

[0022] Preferably, in the above-mentioned fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, the top surface of the sample loading layer has a sealing ring pressed between the stopper and the gland; the sealing ring is provided with an escape hole for escaping the pressure plug. The sealing ring is in close contact with the stopper to seal the exhaust hole.

[0023] Preferably, in the above-mentioned fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, the number of the reaction pools is 4, and they are evenly distributed on the reaction layer in the circumferential direction. In practical applications, the number of reaction pools can be increased accordingly according to demand to achieve joint detection of multiple pathogens.

[0024] Preferably, in the above-mentioned fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, the reaction layer, the first adhesive layer, the elastic film, the second adhesive layer, the sample loading layer and the gland are all circular, so that the overall structure is more regular and more convenient to use.

[0025] Preferably, in the above-mentioned fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, the flow stop portion is an annular hydrophobic breathable membrane; or the flow stop portion is an annular water-absorbing membrane, and both the hydrophobic breathable membrane and the water-absorbing membrane have anti-interference through holes for avoiding the pressure plug; or the flow stop portion is a waste liquid pool formed on the top surface of the sample loading layer and connected to the plurality of exhaust holes, and the waste liquid pool avoids the air inlet channel.

[0026] Preferably, in the above-mentioned fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, the elastic film material may be polydimethylsiloxane, silicone rubber, memory alloy or polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0027] Preferably, in the above-mentioned fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, the control channel and the inflow channel are arranged to intersect, and the elastic film side wall of the control channel is a common wall where the control channel and the inflow channel intersect.

[0028] Preferably, in the above-mentioned fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, the material of the airbag can be polydimethylsiloxane, silicone rubber, memory alloy or polytetrafluoroethylene, and its volume can be reduced or increased under the action of pressure.

[0029] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that, compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a fully enclosed microfluidic chip for nucleic acid amplification detection, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. The pneumatic microvalve and the air pressure source are integrated in the chip. The side wall above the reaction layer is composed of an elastic film. After the sample is injected, the elastic film above the inflow channel is deformed and blocked by changing the air pressure, so that multiple reaction pools with different detection indicators can be separated at the same time. Furthermore, the airbag structure is integrated in the chip, and the closing action can realize the squeezing of the airbag to provide an air pressure source for the air pressure valve without any external air source equipment. The simple and ingenious design breaks through the application limitations of pneumatic microvalves in POCT nucleic acid detection microfluidic chips, which is a milestone in this technical field.

[0031] 2. The sealing component is set up to fix the sealing gasket and the sealing ring inside the pressure cover. The positions of the sealing gasket and the sealing ring correspond to the sample injection port and the exhaust hole respectively. It only needs to be simply closed. With the assistance of the buckle on the outer periphery of the pressure cover, the pressure cover keeps squeezing the soft sealing ring to achieve complete sealing of the internal channel of the chip, keep the amplification product isolated from the external environment during the nucleic acid amplification process, and eliminate the aerosol contamination problem in an extremely simple way.

[0032] 3. It adopts a multi-channel microfluidic system. The sample flows from the central sample inlet into multiple channels distributed in a circle. You only need to align the sample tube with the sample pool and squeeze it to achieve the distribution of the sample in multiple reaction pools. No complicated peripheral equipment is required to complete the sample addition process. The operation is convenient and fast, and even personnel without relevant professional background can operate it. It is very suitable for POCT scenarios.

[0033] 4. A closed membrane or waste liquid pool is set above the pores. During the extrusion sampling process, the liquid sample flows into the channel and the reaction pool, and the gas in the channel and the reaction pool is discharged from the pores. The pore-sealing membrane has the function of being breathable but impermeable or saturated with water. After the sample fills the reaction pool, it can prevent the sample from continuing to flow out of the pores. The waste liquid pool can carry the liquid sample that overflows from the amplification chamber in advance. Whether it is a closed membrane or a waste liquid pool, accurate quantification of each amplification reaction pool is guaranteed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0071] See attached Figure 2 When adding samples, the sample tube is aligned with the sample pool 51, and the liquid sample of the sample tube enters the reaction pool 12 by squeezing the sample tube, and the gas in the channel and the reaction pool is discharged through the exhaust hole 52.

When all channel samples reach this state, the sample addition action is completed. Before the amplification reaction is started, the pressure cover 6 is closed, and the pneumatic valve is started to block the inflow channel 14 to achieve the isolation of different reaction pools 12, and at the same time, the whole chip is fully sealed.

The waste liquid pool 73 is connected to all the exhaust holes 52. When the sample is squeezed, the liquid sample fills the reaction pool 12 and reaches the exhaust hole 52, and then flows into the waste liquid pool 73.
