Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of electrical impedance detection, and in particular relates to an electrical impedance monitoring device, system and method for nematode movement behavior. Background Art
[0002] Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, non-optical imaging method. This method achieves electrical impedance tomography by surrounding a circle of electrodes around the object to be tested, selecting two adjacent electrodes in turn to inject excitation current, measuring the detection voltage on the remaining electrodes, and reconstructing the conductivity distribution image inside the object to be tested based on the scanning results. Electrical impedance tomography technology was initially widely used in the field of medical health to scan and image organs such as the human lungs. In recent years, with the deepening of research, more and more researchers have begun to explore smaller-scale electrical impedance tomography and have achieved monitoring of conductivity changes in tiny biological tissues such as cells.
[0003] As a common model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans is widely used in various life science studies due to its simple structure, ease of cultivation, and short life cycle. Research platforms for nematodes mainly include agar-based and microfluidic chips, among which microfluidic chips are gradually gaining favor among researchers due to their ease of operation and simple background environment. On the other hand, optical imaging methods are currently widely used to study the movement behavior of nematodes. The nematodes are continuously observed using high-precision microscopes, and neural network algorithms are used to extract the parameters of the nematode's movement behavior. However, high-precision microscopes have complex structures, high costs, and large amounts of image data, making real-time monitoring difficult. Furthermore, relevant studies have shown that visible light itself can affect the lifespan of nematodes, which makes it impossible to monitor nematodes using optical imaging in their natural growth environment.

Under the control of the fluid and the third membrane valve, the fourth membrane valve, the fifth membrane valve, and the sixth membrane valve, the nematodes enter the nematode transition channel from the culture monitoring chamber and then return to the culture monitoring chamber.
[0011] Furthermore, the micro-channel layer and the pneumatic channel layer are both made of polydimethylsiloxane by reverse molding, and a double-layer structure is formed by bonding. The double-layer structure is then fixed to the circuit board by nylon screws.
[0012] Furthermore, the electrode array includes a total of 32 gold-plated electrode probes, which are electrically interconnected with the pads on the back of the circuit board by welding.

[0017] (1) Unlike traditional nematode microscopy methods, this device uses electrical impedance tomography (EIT) technology to eliminate the effects of light on parameters such as nematode lifespan during imaging. The electrode array is designed as a concentric circle structure, and the inner circle electrodes compensate for the poor imaging accuracy of the center of the region caused by EIT technology.
[0018] (2) The amount of electrical impedance image data is small, which facilitates further analysis and processing, and enables real-time analysis and display of nematode movement behavior parameters;
[0019] (3) Manipulating nematodes in microchannels through fluids and membrane valves avoids errors caused by traditional manual manipulation methods;
[0020] (4) Gold-plated probes are used as electrodes to reduce the contact impedance between the probes and the solution.

[0029] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, the electrical impedance monitoring device, system and method for nematode movement behavior of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] See Figure 1 、 Figure 7 , which is a schematic diagram of the electrical impedance monitoring device, system and method for nematode movement behavior provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0031] The present invention provides an electrical impedance monitoring device for nematode movement behavior, comprising: a circuit board 1, a microfluidic layer 2, and a pneumatic channel layer 3, wherein:
[0032] The circuit board 1 is a substrate and is a printed circuit board made of FR-4 board material, which is used to support a double-layer structure formed by bonding the microchannel layer 2 and the pneumatic channel layer 3.
[0033] The circuit board 1 is provided with two inner and outer circles of through holes in a concentric circle structure, with 16 holes in each circle, for connecting the electrode array 101; the radius of the inner circle is half of the radius of the outer circle, which is used to improve the imaging accuracy of the center of the area in electrical impedance tomography.
[0034] The electrodes used in the electrode array 101 are 32 gold-plated probes, which are connected to the circuit board 1 by welding, and the height of each probe exposed from the circuit board 1 is kept consistent; the welding points of the probes are set on the back of the circuit board 1, and are sealed with epoxy resin glue in the solder pads and solder holes on the front of the circuit board 1.
[0035] The materials of the microfluidic layer 2 and the pneumatic channel layer 3 are both polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and are made by curing the mold on a mold containing the microstructures of the microfluidic layer 2 and the pneumatic channel layer 3, wherein the mold used is a positive mold, which can be obtained by using SU-8 photoresist on a silicon wafer, etching the silicon wafer, 3D printing the microstructure, etc.
[0036] The PDMS structure after the microfluidic layer 2 and the pneumatic channel layer 3 are molded is surface-modified by oxygen plasma, and then the upper surface of the microfluidic layer 2 and the lower surface of the pneumatic channel layer 3 are aligned and pressed to achieve high-strength bonding. During the alignment process, it should be ensured that the gas passage in the pneumatic channel layer 3 is located directly above the corresponding channel in the microfluidic layer 2.
[0037] The circuit board 1, the microfluidic layer 2 and the pneumatic channel layer 3 include four screw holes 11 for screwing in nylon screws to tightly fix the double-layer structure after the microfluidic layer 2 and the pneumatic channel layer 3 are bonded to the circuit board 1.
[0038] The microfluidic layer 2 is used for culturing and monitoring nematodes, and includes a fluid inlet 4, a food loading channel inlet 5, a nematode loading channel 201, a culture monitoring chamber 205, a nematode transition channel 203, a food loading channel 202, an impurity discharge channel 204 and a fluid outlet 8.
[0039] The center of the culture monitoring chamber 205 is set directly above the electrode array 101, and the radius of the culture monitoring chamber 205 is slightly larger than the outer radius of the electrode array 101. The height of the culture monitoring chamber 205 is greater than the height of the electrode array 101 exposed from the circuit board 1. After the device is installed, the electrode array 101 should be located inside the culture monitoring chamber 205.
[0040] The fluid inlet 4, the nematode loading channel 201, the culture monitoring chamber 205, and the fluid outlet 8 are connected in sequence for loading nematodes and discharging impurities.
[0041] The nematode transition channel 203 is set at the exit of the culture monitoring chamber 205 and returns to the culture monitoring chamber 205. The nematodes can enter the nematode transition channel 203 from the culture monitoring chamber 205 under the control of the third membrane valve 303, the fourth membrane valve 304, the fifth membrane valve 305, and the sixth membrane valve 306, and then return to the culture monitoring chamber 205.
[0042] The food loading channel 202 is connected to the culture monitoring chamber 205 , and the opening and closing of the channel is controlled by the second film valve 302 to provide food for the nematodes in the culture monitoring chamber 205 .

The first gas inlet 6, the second gas inlet 7, the third gas inlet 9, and the fourth gas inlet 10 are used to provide air pressure to the first membrane valve 301, the second membrane valve 302, the third membrane valve 303, the fourth membrane valve 304, the fifth membrane valve 305, and the sixth membrane valve 306. When the air pressure increases, the membrane valves squeeze the upper wall of the microfluidic channel layer 2, thereby achieving opening and closing control of the nematode transition channel 203 and the like.
[0044] The present invention provides an electrical impedance monitoring system for nematode movement behavior, comprising a multiplexer module, an FPGA control module, an electrical impedance detection module, an acquisition and imaging module, an image analysis and processing module, and a display module.
[0045] The multiplexing module is connected to the electrode array 101 on the circuit board 1 and selects different electrodes as excitation and response electrodes for electrical impedance tomography through the control signal generated by the FPGA control module.
[0046] The electrical impedance detection module is used to generate an excitation signal for electrical impedance tomography and collect the response voltage on the response electrode.
[0047] The acquisition imaging module is used to read the detection results of the electrical impedance detection module and reconstruct the electrical impedance image of the nematode based on the detection results.
[0048] The image analysis and processing module is used to process the electrical impedance image of the nematode and calculate the movement behavior parameters such as the movement speed of the nematode.
[0049] The display module is used to display the calculation results of the image processing module to achieve real-time monitoring of the nematode movement behavior.
[0050] The present invention provides an electrical impedance monitoring method for nematode movement behavior, and the workflow thereof is described below using a specific implementation case.
[0051] By applying pressure to the first gas inlet 6 and the second gas inlet 7, the second film valve 302, the third film valve 303, and the fourth film valve 304 are closed; the first film valve 301, the fifth film valve 305, and the sixth film valve 306 are kept open for loading nematode samples and culture fluid.
[0052] The nematode sample and culture fluid are introduced through the fluid inlet 4 and arrive at the culture monitoring chamber 205 through the nematode loading channel 201 . The nematodes stay in the culture monitoring chamber 205 for culture.
[0053] By closing the pressure of the first gas inlet 6 , the second membrane valve 302 is opened for loading the nematode food.
[0054] The culture solution containing E. coli is introduced through the food loading channel inlet 5 and enters the culture monitoring chamber 205 through the food loading channel 202 to ensure the normal growth and development of the nematodes in the culture monitoring chamber.
[0055] Before electrical impedance tomography (EIT) scanning begins, the second and fifth membrane valves 302 and 305 are closed, while the first, third, fourth, and sixth membrane valves 301, 303, 304, and 306 are opened. Fluid is continuously introduced through the fluid inlet 4 to allow the nematodes to enter the nematode transition channel 203.
[0056] After the nematodes reach the nematode transition channel 203, the third and fourth membrane valves 303 and 304 are closed to keep the nematodes in the nematode transition channel 203; the fifth membrane valve 305 is opened, and fluid is continuously introduced through the fluid inlet 4 to clean the nematode culture monitoring chamber, and the waste liquid generated is discharged through the fluid outlet 8.
[0057] After the nematode culture monitoring chamber 205 is cleaned, it is tested using the outer and inner electrodes of the electrode array 101 to obtain electrical impedance tomography results indicating that the chamber does not contain nematodes.
[0058] After the air test is completed, the third and fourth film valves 303 and 304 are opened, the fifth film valve 305 is closed, and fluid is continuously introduced through the fluid inlet 4 to allow the nematodes to re-enter the culture monitoring chamber 205.
[0059] After the nematodes enter the culture monitoring chamber 205, the first membrane valve 301 and the sixth membrane valve 306 are closed, and the culture monitoring chamber 205 is repeatedly subjected to electrical impedance tomography scanning through the outer and inner ring electrodes of the electrode array 101, and each scanning result is read into the acquisition imaging module.
[0060] After completing a round of nematode scanning, the second membrane valve 302 is opened, and the culture solution containing E. coli is introduced into the culture monitoring chamber 205 through the food loading channel inlet 5 to continue culturing the nematodes and wait for the next measurement to begin.
[0061] The impedance scanning results of the culture monitoring chamber are read into the acquisition imaging module through the impedance detection module, and differential imaging is performed with the blank measurement results in the acquisition imaging module. The imaging results of the outer circle electrodes of the electrode array 101 reflect the impedance image of the change in conductivity in the culture monitoring chamber before and after the nematodes are loaded. The imaging results of the inner circle electrodes of the electrode array 101 are used to obtain the impedance image of the central area of the culture monitoring chamber.
[0062] The image analysis and processing module reads the electrical impedance images of the outer and inner ring electrodes generated by the acquisition imaging module, and improves the imaging accuracy of the central area of the culture monitoring chamber through the imaging results of the inner ring electrode, and then further processes the image to calculate the movement behavior parameters of the nematode.
[0063] The display module is used to display the nematode movement behavior parameter calculation results of the image analysis and processing module in real time.

In addition, under the teachings of the present invention, these features and embodiments may be modified to adapt to specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
