Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an impedance detection method, specifically to an integrated impedance detection device and method for the isolation and detection of pathogenic bacteria. Background Technology
[0002] Pathogenic contamination has become a serious public health problem, significantly impacting human health worldwide and imposing a heavy economic burden. To monitor microbial contamination in real time, providing a basis for public health policy and intervention measures; to directly and rapidly diagnose pathogenic infections and reduce related economic losses; and to prevent food safety issues caused by pathogens and safeguard public health, it is essential to develop accurate and convenient new detection methods and devices.
[0003] The main methods for detecting pathogenic bacteria include traditional culture methods, routine rapid detection methods, and biosensor methods. Among these, traditional culture and colony counting are currently the most reliable and accurate bacterial detection methods, capable of qualitative and quantitative detection of a variety of pathogenic bacteria. However, despite the improved sensitivity and specificity of current technologies and techniques, the long time required and complex operation of traditional culture methods remain unresolved. Therefore, to enable sensitive and rapid bacterial detection in livestock and poultry, many rapid detection methods have been developed, including immunoassay techniques such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunomagnetic bead separation technology (IMBS), and immunochromatographic assay (ICA), as well as molecular diagnostic methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), quantitative real-time PCR, gene chip technology, and loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP). However, these routine rapid detection methods require expensive equipment, and the cumbersome procedures demand a high level of expertise from operators. Some also suffer from poor stability and low sensitivity. Biosensor methods are a novel and rapid detection method that can quantitatively or semi-quantitatively analyze the concentration of a target substance by measuring data corresponding to the concentration of the target substance. It has the advantages of high specificity, high sensitivity, low detection limit, and simple operation, and can provide real-time measurement results and perform multi-target detection.
[0004] Solid-state nanochannels are artificial nanochannels developed based on biological nanochannels. Due to their advantages such as structural stability, tunable pore size, and ease of modification, they have attracted widespread research interest in fields such as DNA sequencing, biosensing, and energy conversion. Nanochannels can act as "nanosieves" to achieve rapid sorting of molecules of different sizes. Therefore, constructing electrochemical sensing and detection systems based on solid-state nanochannels and using electrochemical methods to monitor the transmembrane electrical signals of nanochannels offers higher sensitivity and wider applications.
[0005] Existing electrochemical analysis methods mainly rely on electrochemical workstations. With the continuous development of technology, although commercial electrochemical workstations can perform various basic electrochemical characterization methods, they have drawbacks such as large size and high cost. At the same time, they all require additional sample processing devices for the detection process, resulting in low integration of the entire detection device and inconvenience for moving the device to a new location and conducting on-site detection. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the problems existing in the background art, this invention provides an integrated impedance detection device and method for the separation and detection of pathogenic bacteria. The method of this invention utilizes solid-state nanochannels with electrodes introduced on their surface. Nanoparticles and nanoparticle-bacterial conjugates are separated by filtration, and changes in electrode impedance are detected to achieve quantitative detection of pathogenic bacteria. A portable device integrating a pressurized separation system and an impedance analysis system is provided for rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria. This method is convenient, sensitive, highly integrated, and easy to operate.
[0007] The technical solution adopted in this invention is:
[0008] I. An integrated impedance detection device for the isolation and detection of pathogenic bacteria:
[0009] The device includes a nanochannel electrode chip (INCE) for adding a sample solution and generating an impedance change; a pressure separation module for separating target pathogens from the sample solution, with the INCE mounted on and electrically connected to the pressure separation module; an impedance analysis module for receiving and transmitting the impedance change measurement results generated by the INCE, electrically connected to the pressure separation module; a control module for receiving signals from a host computer to control the impedance analysis module and the pressure separation module, and for receiving and analyzing the impedance change rate from the impedance measurement module before transmitting it to the host computer, electrically connected to the host computer, the impedance analysis module, and the pressure separation module; a power supply module for supplying power to the control module, the pressure separation module, and the impedance analysis module, electrically connected to the control module; and a housing for mounting the power supply module, control module, pressure separation module, and impedance analysis module, all of which are housed inside the housing.
[0010] The housing has an upper cover and a front cover. When the upper cover is open, it is used to install the nanochannel electrode chip INCE, add the sample solution to be tested, and observe the surface state of the nanochannel electrode chip INCE. When the front cover is open, it is used to observe and disassemble the waste liquid collection section.

The electrode fixing part is installed at the top of the waste liquid collection part, the waste liquid collection part is connected to the pressurization part, and the pressurization part is electrically connected to the control module.
[0012] The electrode fixing part includes a fixing box and a fixing plate. The fixing plate is horizontally mounted on the fixing box, and an adjusting screw is vertically mounted on the top of the fixing box, located directly above the fixing plate. The fixing plate includes an upper flip cover, a base, and a connecting circuit board. One side of the upper flip cover is hinged to one side of the base. A groove is formed on the top surface of the base away from the hinge side, and the connecting circuit board is installed in the groove. A first through hole penetrating the surface of the base is formed on the side of the base near the hinge side. The nanochannel electrode chip INCE is horizontally placed on the top surface of the base and the connecting circuit board and electrically connected. The circuit board has an upper flip cover that rotates around the hinge edge to completely cover the top surface of the nanochannel electrode chip INCE. The upper flip cover has a second through hole with the same shape as the first through hole that penetrates its own surface on the side near the hinge edge. After the upper flip cover is closed, the first through hole and the second through hole are arranged opposite each other. The adjusting screw presses down on the top surface of the upper flip cover so that the upper flip cover clamps the nanochannel electrode chip INCE. The nanochannel electrode chip INCE has a detection area. The upper and lower sides of the detection area of the nanochannel electrode chip INCE are directly opposite the second through hole and the first through hole of the electrode fixing part.
[0013] The electrode fixing section is used to flatten and fix the nanochannel electrode chip, guide the filtered waste liquid into the waste liquid collection section, and connect the two electrodes of the electrode chip to the impedance analysis module. The pressurization section is used to create negative pressure under the nanochannel electrode chip to promote the filtration of solution from the nanochannels.
[0014] The impedance analysis module includes a microcontroller and an impedance analysis chip. The microcontroller is electrically connected to the impedance analysis chip and the control module, and the impedance analysis chip is electrically connected to the connection circuit board of the pressure separation module.
[0015] II. A method for preparing a nanochannel electrode chip (INCE) for an integrated impedance detection device combining separation and detection: The method includes the following steps:
[0016] 1) A gold layer is uniformly sputtered on both sides of the porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) film. Two electrodes are used to connect the two gold layers respectively, and then the film is fixed and sealed with tape, exposing only the detection area on the surface of the gold layers on both sides, thus obtaining a sealed electrode.
[0017] 2) After cleaning the sealed electrode with H2SO4 solution and deionized water and drying it, immerse it in bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution. Finally, rinse it with deionized water to remove excess BSA solution and dry it to obtain the nanochannel electrode chip INCE.
[0018] In step 1), the nanochannel electrode chip INCE is electrically connected to the connection circuit board of the pressure separation module through two electrodes; the shape of the detection area on both sides of the gold layer surface of the nanochannel electrode chip INCE is the same as the shape of the first through hole on the fixing plate of the electrode fixing part; when the nanochannel electrode chip INCE is fixed on the electrode fixing part, the upper and lower sides where the detection area of the nanochannel electrode chip INCE is located are directly opposite the second through hole and the first through hole of the electrode fixing part.
[0019] In step 2), the sealed electrode is washed and dried sequentially with H2SO4 solution and deionized water, and then immersed in bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution. Specifically, the sealed electrode is washed and dried sequentially with 1 μm H2SO4 solution and deionized water, and then immersed in 0.2%-1% m / v bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution for 30-60 min.
[0020] III. A method for detecting the impedance of pathogenic bacteria using an integrated impedance detection device for separation and detection:
[0021] The method includes the following steps:
[0022] 1) Fix the nanochannel electrode chip INCE to the electrode fixing part, so that the detection area of the nanochannel electrode chip INCE is directly opposite the second through hole and the first through hole of the electrode fixing part.
[0023] 2) A series of solutions containing pathogenic bacteria of the same volume with preset gradient concentrations are dropped onto the detection area of the nanochannel electrode chip INCE through the second through hole of the electrode fixing part. The pressurization part of the pressurization separation module is controlled by the control module to draw air from the waste liquid collection part below the detection area of the nanochannel electrode chip INCE to form a negative pressure, which promotes the solution to be tested to pass through the nanochannel, so that the target is trapped on the surface and inside of the nanochannel electrode chip INCE.
[0024] 3) The electrolyte solution is dripped from the second through-hole of the electrode fixing part onto the detection area of the INCE nanochannel electrode chip. The impedance measurement program is run by the control module to control the impedance analysis module to detect the impedance change of the two electrodes of the INCE nanochannel electrode chip and transmit the measurement results to the control module. First, the microcontroller runs and initializes all serial ports and the impedance analysis chip. It determines whether it is the first detection. If so, it calibrates the impedance analysis chip. Then, the frequency scanning conditions are written into the registers of the impedance analysis chip, including the starting frequency, frequency increment, and increment number. The impedance analysis chip runs, and the microcontroller reads the real value register data R and the imaginary value register data I of the impedance analysis chip and calculates the impedance. The status register content is used to determine whether the frequency scan is complete. The measurement continues until the last frequency point, after which the impedance analysis chip is turned off.
[0025] 4) The control module obtains a standard curve of pathogen concentration and impedance change rate based on the preset gradient concentration of each solution containing pathogens and the measurement results of their impedance changes.
[0026] 5) Drop the sample solution to be tested onto the detection area of the nanochannel electrode chip INCE through the second through hole of the electrode fixing part, and then continue the operation of step 3) to obtain the measurement result of the impedance change of the sample solution to be tested. Compare with the standard curve obtained in step 4) to obtain the concentration of pathogenic bacteria in the sample solution to be tested, and complete the impedance detection of pathogenic bacteria.
[0027] In step 5), the sample solution to be tested is prepared using the following method:
[0028] The inactivated pathogenic bacteria solution was diluted with sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or chicken extract. The diluted pathogenic bacteria solution was then mixed with antibody-modified nanoparticles and incubated to capture the nanoparticle-pathogen conjugate formed by the target pathogenic bacteria. After magnetic separation, the supernatant was discarded to obtain the precipitate. The precipitate was washed with PBS and then resuspended in PBS to obtain the enriched and purified sample solution of the target pathogenic bacteria.
[0029] In the preparation of the test sample solution, the inactivated pathogenic bacteria solution is diluted to 10 μL using sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or chicken extract. 2 -10 6 CFU / mL, take 1 mL of diluted pathogenic bacterial solution and mix with antibody-modified nanoparticles at a volume ratio of 10:1 and incubate for 30-60 min to capture the nanoparticle-pathogenic bacterial conjugate 11 formed by the target pathogenic bacteria. After magnetic separation, discard the supernatant to obtain the precipitate. Wash the precipitate with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution and resuspend it in 50-100 μL of PBS solution to obtain the test sample solution enriched and purified from the target pathogenic bacteria.
[0030] The negative pressure formed by the pressurization part in step 2) is 50-100 kPa.
[0031] The target material is a nanoparticle-pathogenic bacteria conjugate.
[0032] This invention is based on a nanochannel electrode chip. An internal pressurized separation system allows small nanoparticles to pass through the nanochannels, while large nanoparticle-bacterial conjugates are trapped on the surface and inside the nanochannels. By trapping the nanoparticle-bacterial conjugates, this invention hinders the passage of electrochemical probe molecules through the nanochannels, causing a change in electrode impedance. An impedance measurement module is used to measure this impedance change to achieve bacterial detection. This invention obtains the impedance values and impedance changes at different frequencies by setting the initial frequency, frequency increment, and number of increments.
[0033] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0034] 1) This invention is based on a miniaturized nanochannel electrode chip and integrates a separation sensing and detection module, which can realize the integrated separation and detection of bacteria.
[0035] 2) This invention can be applied to the detection of pathogenic bacteria. It is simple and efficient to operate, and the equipment is portable and inexpensive, avoiding the use of a variety of expensive large instruments.
[0036] 3) This invention integrates the sample separation and detection steps into a single device, eliminating the need for multiple electrode movements and improving detection stability.
[0037] In summary, the method of this invention achieves quantitative detection of pathogenic bacteria by detecting changes in electrode impedance. The device of this invention integrates a pressure separation module and an impedance analysis module for rapid detection of pathogenic bacteria, and has the advantages of small size, portability, simple operation, and rapid detection. Based on a nanochannel electrode chip, this invention highly integrates sample processing and detection modules, achieving both rapid bacterial separation and highly sensitive detection, realizing integrated rapid detection within a small device.
