Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of preparation of magnetic fluorescent gel particles, and in particular to a method for preparing magnetic fluorescent gel particles driven by a controllable magnetic field. Background Art
[0002] Due to their excellent porous structure and biocompatibility, hydrogel microparticles have been applied in biomedical applications, including protein encapsulation, drug release, cell culture, and fluorescent tracers. Traditional methods for preparing hydrogel microspheres include emulsion technology, photolithography, electrohydrodynamics, and mechanical disruption. However, these methods are limited in controlling the size and morphology of hydrogel microspheres, and further improvements are needed in producing monodisperse and uniform hydrogel microspheres or particles.
[0003] In recent years, droplet microfluidics technology has been maturely applied to the synthesis of droplet-based materials. Microparticles and microspheres have been prepared based on the droplet generation method of microfluidic chips with different flow channel structures. This method has unique and significant advantages in the size controllability of microparticles and microspheres. Compared with traditional microsphere preparation methods, microfluidic chips have the advantages of simple preparation process, good controllability, good monodispersity of microspheres, high microsphere yield, low material toxicity, and environmental protection. Droplet microfluidics provides a new solution for the preparation of various morphologically controllable gel microspheres or microparticles. The preparation of hydrogel microspheres and particles usually includes two processes: droplet generation and droplet crosslinking. By controlling the process of droplet generation, the final shape and size of hydrogel microspheres and particles can be controlled.
[0004] However, with the demand for complex functional gel microspheres in biochemical applications, it is often necessary to add crosslinkers to the dispersed phase and the continuous phase, and mix two or more reagents to produce a crosslinking reaction or a chemical reaction. When the catalyst, crosslinker and other reagents are dispersed in the continuous phase and the dispersed phase, it is inevitable that the continuous phase and the dispersed phase will undergo a gelation reaction, which will lead to problems such as flow channel blockage and contamination. Therefore, it is necessary to further develop methods for preparing functional gel microspheres or microparticles to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the above problems and improve the preparation ability of magnetic fluorescent gel particles, the present invention provides a method for preparing magnetic fluorescent gel particles driven by a controllable magnetic field. Magnetic microdroplets are first prepared through a microfluidic chip, and then driven by a controllable magnetic field to induce the magnetic droplets to enter a parallel laminar phase. Under the action of a cross-linking agent in the laminar phase, the gelation of the magnetic polymer droplets is achieved. This invention patent can effectively avoid the problem of direct cross-linking reaction between the continuous phase and the dispersed phase in the flow channel, and is used for the preparation of polyacrylamide fluorescent magnetic microspheres and calcium alginate magnetic gel particles, providing a new idea for the generation of hydrogel microspheres and microparticles.
