Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an integrated optical fiber biosensor for microdialysis sampling and rapid separation and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of optical fiber sensing. Background Art

[0002] As technology trends toward intelligent development, fiber optic sensors have demonstrated unique advantages in many fields. Recent advances and intersections in micro- and nanotechnology, materials technology, and biotechnology have enabled the emergence of new methods and approaches for fiber optic sensing. Fiber optic biosensors, in particular, have demonstrated irreplaceable advantages in numerous applications and have garnered significant attention. Their integrated structure and minimal invasiveness make them suitable for harsh working environments and remote transmission, offering significant application value in fields such as medicine and biology.

[0003] In recent years, fiber optic biosensors have shown a multi-field cross-development trend. The types of sensing units generally include the following categories: (1) surface plasmon resonance fiber optic sensors. Samples do not need to be labeled and the dynamic process of the reaction can be monitored in real time; (2) evanescent field sensors. The analyte can be detected by analyzing the light intensity; (3) fiber Bragg grating and long-period fiber grating sensors, which use the wavelength offset to measure the change in the concentration of external biomolecules; (4) fiber interferometric biosensors. Sample detection is achieved by shifting the interference wavelength. Based on the above types, it is also possible to measure a wide range of substances including neurotransmitters, antibiotics, amino acids, pathogenic microorganisms, human IgG and IgM, bovine hemoglobin and bovine serum albumin, red blood cells and T lymphocytes and granulocytes, serum HIV-specific antibodies, staphylococci, enterotoxins, insulin, alpha-fetoprotein and Japanese schistosomiasis antibodies. It can be seen that fiber optic biosensors have broad application prospects in the fields of biology and medicine.

[0004] Current fiber optic sensors are still basically oriented towards the principle detection of single components. As we all know, in practical applications in the fields of medicine, biology, and pharmaceuticals, the detection objects are generally mixed samples of multiple components. For the actual test objects, various means such as chromatography, filtration, and centrifugation need to be used to separate and process the mixed substances before detection, but the current sensor devices themselves basically do not include any pre-injection processing functions. The above problems not only complicate the system structure, but also increase the volume burden of the instrument, making it difficult to give full play to the advantages of fiber optic sensors in trace and online sensing, and restricting the integration, miniaturization and stabilization of fiber optic sensing systems. Therefore, the extraction and separation process of trace samples (especially mixed samples) is very important in the entire trace analysis process, which will determine whether the fiber optic online trace analysis process has practical application value. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The application aims to provide a microdialysis sampling and rapid separation integrated optical fiber biosensor and a preparation method.

[0006] The application is achieved as follows:

[0007] The application is achieved as follows:

[0008] Further, the outer diameter of the double-channel double-core optical fiber is about 500 μm, the distance between the first core and the second core should be the shortest to ensure that the two cores can be exposed at the same time during the double-FBG etching, and at the same time, the mode coupling between the first core and the second core should be avoided.

[0009] Further, the positions of the sample inlet and the sample outlet are perpendicular to the surface of the double-channel double-core optical fiber, and are respectively connected with the first channel and the second channel, and the opening direction is away from the core direction.

[0010] Further, the femtosecond laser fiber grating writing system is used to write double-FBGs at the same node of the first core and the second core at the same time, to meet the splitting ratio requirement, to construct a reflective FBG detection node, and to realize temperature compensation.

[0011] Furthermore, the thin-wall cavity is constructed by removing a portion of the thin-wall layer of the first channel and the second channel by micromachining at the end face of the optical fiber to form a microdialysis microfluidic circuit.

[0012] Furthermore, the formation process of the dialysis membrane is as follows: using capillary action to absorb dimethyl sulfoxide-dissolved polysulfone and polyethylene glycol into a membrane-forming liquid column (35-55°C), solidifying through gel freezing, and then alternately using 70°C pure water and electrophoretic dialysis fluid to remove residual solvent, finally forming a microporous diffusion membrane.

[0013] A method for preparing an integrated optical fiber biosensor for microdialysis sampling and rapid separation comprises the following steps:

[0014] (1) Drawing of dual-channel dual-core optical fiber:

[0015] Ultrasonic drilling is performed on high-purity solid quartz preform rods, and then the inner wall of the preform rod hole is ground, polished and ultrasonically cleaned. Then, the rod assembly technology is used to complete the combination of the fiber core in the cladding and the fiber core inside the microhole and the annular cladding. The distance between the two fiber cores is adjusted to the minimum, and the preparation of the optical fiber preform rod is completed; the prepared preform rod is fixed on the optical fiber drawing tower, the stretching parameters are set, and air pressure is applied to the air hole of the preform rod for drawing, coating and winding.

[0016] (2) Construction of microdialysis channel and optofluidic electrophoresis channel:

[0017] A 157nm deep ultraviolet laser was used in conjunction with a nano-displacement stage to micro-machine the end face of the optical fiber to remove part of the thin-wall layer between the first and second channels, forming a thin-wall cavity and constructing a microdialysis microfluidic circuit. A dialysis membrane was prepared at the micro-machined structural site. Dimethyl sulfoxide was used to dissolve polysulfone and polyethylene glycol, and a membrane-forming liquid column (35-55°C) was absorbed by capillary action. The membrane was solidified by gel freezing. The residual solvent was removed alternately using 70°C pure water and electrophoresis dialysate to form a microporous diffusion membrane. An 800nm ​​femtosecond laser was used in conjunction with a nano-displacement stage to open holes in the first and second channels in the vertical direction of the dual-channel dual-core optical fiber. The position of the fiber core in the microstructured optical fiber was adjusted by a rotating device and detected by CCD imaging. The fiber core was moved away from the laser processing site. Finally, the sample inlet and sample outlet were connected to the first and second channels respectively, and a microinjection pump was connected to the sample inlet. Positive and negative microelectrodes were encapsulated on the surface of the dual-channel dual-core optical fiber to form a closed current loop with the electrophoresis instrument.

[0018] (3) Optical coupling and etching of integrated dual FBGs:

The fiber coupling efficiency and the power distribution between the cores are controlled by parameters such as the taper angle, the stretched diameter and the taper length, and the power ratio of the two cores is monitored in real time by using a beam analyzer to meet the splitting ratio requirement.

[0020] (4) Modification of the sensitization material:

[0021] Two-dimensional nanomaterials such as graphene oxide and black phosphorus are grown on the surface of the second core by using a light-induced method to improve the sensitivity of the detection node; specifically, the 50-200 nm graphene oxide solution is introduced into the second channel to drive the deposition on the surface of the FBG by using the light pressure effect and thermal effect of the 1060 nm laser; the black phosphorus layer is grown by first using NaOH solution to make the core have -OH group, then using 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane to connect -OH to make the surface have -NH2 group, and finally performing light-induced growth of black phosphorus.

[0022] (5) Regulation of electroosmotic flow by modification of the inner wall of the optical flow electrophoresis channel:

[0023] The silicon hydride on the inner wall of the optical fiber is bonded to remove negative charges and inhibit electroosmotic flow; the polyacrylamide is bonded to change the size of the electroosmotic flow; or the whey protein is combined to change the flow direction of the electroosmotic flow.

[0024] Further, in step (2), the dialysis membrane can be adjusted according to the size difference of the target molecules in the body, and the film-forming material, the proportion of the components and the solidification conditions are adjusted to adjust the microstructure of the dialysis membrane to ensure the induced dialysis of different target sizes such as protein molecules, DNA, amino acids, drugs and ions.

[0025] Further, before step (4), the inner wall of the second channel of the optical fiber can be modified by selective filling to change the charge, and the silicon hydride and negative charge on the inner wall of the optical fiber can be bonded with polydopamine to have strong adsorption and good biocompatibility; or the surface self-assembly of the cross-linked diazo resin with positive charge is used to form an optical fiber inner coating by using atom transfer radical polymerization to solve the adsorption problem of biological macromolecules such as proteins.

The positive and negative microelectrodes 1011 are encapsulated on the surface of the dual-channel dual-core optical fiber 5, forming a closed current loop with the electrophoresis instrument 9. The first fiber core 5-3 and the second fiber core 5-4 located within the range of the positive and negative microelectrodes 1011 are etched with double FBGs13, and the end of the dual-channel dual-core optical fiber 5 has a thin-wall cavity, and the end face is encapsulated with a dialysis membrane 12.

[0038] Specifically, live mice such as C57BL / 6 and BALB / c nude mice, which are commonly used physiological and pathological animal experimental models, are used as online detection objects. By collecting complex amino acid components in the adipose tissue in the groin area, online detection of living biological metabolism is carried out.

[0039] After in vitro calibration, the end of a dual-channel, dual-core optical fiber 5 is inserted into a 19G medical needle and implanted into the inguinal adipose tissue of a live C57BL / 6 mouse. Appropriate concentrations of NaOH, HCl, MES, and Tris solutions are sequentially injected through the injection port 6 using a microinjection pump 8. The liquid flows through the thin-walled cavity along the microdialysis channel 5-3, flushing the optofluidic electrophoresis channel 5-4. Pre-electrophoresis equilibrium is performed using an electrophoresis apparatus 9, and waste liquid is discharged through the sample outlet 7. The inner diameter of the microdialysis channel 5-3 and the optofluidic electrophoresis channel 5-4 can be 60-75 μm and the length 15-20 cm. The electrophoresis microdialysis fluid is a pH 7.5 Ringers reagent consisting of NaCl, CaCl2, KCl, and MgSO4, plus boric acid buffer. To ensure accurate quantification, an amino acid derivatization reagent is simultaneously injected, using o-phthalaldehyde (OPA)-Na2SO3 or OPA-mercaptoethanol to react with amino acids in the dialysate before monitoring.

[0040] The experiment dialysis membrane 12 medium selects regenerated cellulose material, the dialysis membrane 12 reaches pressure balance by adjusting microflow dialysis parameter, due to the non-equilibrium concentration difference of amino acid inside and outside the optical fiber, various small molecule amino acids in adipose tissue pass through the dialysis membrane 12, are carried into the optical flow electrophoresis channel 5-4 by dialysate, and the electrophoresis instrument 9 and the positive and negative microelectrode 1011 form a closed loop, and separation is realized under the action of the electric field formed.The different amino acid molecules make the wavelength difference of double FBGs 13 change, and the optical signal returns from the double FBGs 13, is transmitted to the demodulator 4 through the circulator 3, the change amount of the demodulated delta lambda is related to the concentration after separation, and the change period corresponds to the separation time of amino acid, so that the standard amino acid molecule outflow fingerprint information spectrum can be established.Because the double FBGs 13 are located at the same position of the double-channel double-core optical fiber 5, they have the same temperature response, can form an internal reference, and the change amount of the central wavelength difference value delta lambda is independent of temperature. Even in the case that FBG is not sensitized and polarization state is not modulated, according to the minimum sensitivity of 8 nm / RIU of bare suspended core FBG refractive index, and the high-precision FBG demodulator 4 with a wavelength resolution of 0.1 pm, the minimum can be realized 1.2x10 -5 RIU high-resolution demodulation, the amino acid molecule detection limit LOD can reach 1-5 μmol / L, which is far lower than the in-vivo amino acid concentration. The time resolution can be controlled by controlling the FBG grating length and controlling the electrophoresis condition, and under the microdialysis flow rate of about 50 μL / min, the time resolution can reach 1-10 s, so that the in-vivo sensor can realize the transient detection of the body metabolism.

[0041] The application provides an integrated optical fiber biosensor which can realize in-vivo complex sample collection, online separation and detection of multiple components in the optical fiber, and has the characteristics of automatic temperature compensation, high integration, high sensitivity, high stability and the like. The optical fiber realizes wearable real-time collection of in-vivo samples through the "microdialysis" structure, and forms an electroosmotic flow in the optical fiber by driving the complex sample with an electric field, so as to realize In-fiber online separation of trace complex samples by the difference in charge-mass ratio. The inner wall of the second channel of the optical fiber is selectively filled and modified in electric charge to solve the problem of adsorption of biological macromolecules such as proteins and the problem that the optical fiber sensor cannot detect complex mixed samples. A sensing unit node is designed in the core of the microstructure optical fiber to form a two-dimensional layered nanomaterial modified sensitive In-fiber double FBG structure. The microflow is controlled by an electric field, so that the separated sample passes through the sensing unit, the effective refractive index of the separated sample at the sensitive unit is modulated, the temperature crosstalk is eliminated by the difference between the resonance signals of the internal reference, and the outflow time information of each component biological sample is obtained, so that high-throughput multi-component sample detection in the optical fiber is realized, and a rapid online analysis and detection method and an efficient approach are provided for the field of wearable medical sensing of optical fibers.
