If the first seal and the second seal are sheets, they can be welded to the substrate 1.

[0043] The following describes how to use the nucleic acid detection system, which can generally include:

[0044] Placing an amplification reagent in the reaction tank G4, for example, the amplification reagent may include a fluorescent dye;

[0045] Installing the first sealing member on the base 1;

[0046] Place the sample and lysis reagent into the sample loading tank G1 via the sample loading port T1;

[0047] Installing the second sealing member on the base 1;

[0048] The sample and the lysis reagent are heated by the temperature control module, so that the cells in the sample are lysed under the action of the lysis reagent;

[0049] The microfluidic chip is driven to rotate around the rotation axis L by the centrifugal module, so that the nucleic acid in the sample flows into the reaction tank G4 under the action of centrifugal force; and

[0050] The nucleic acid and amplification reagent are heated by the temperature control module, so that the nucleic acid in the sample is amplified under the action of the amplification reagent.

[0051] The sample can be filtered through multiple filter tanks. Specifically, driven by centrifugal force, the lysed sample can flow from the sample loading tank G1 into the first filter tank G21. Within the first filter tank G21, larger particles in the sample can be distributed and settled in the first sedimentation zone S12, while smaller particles in the sample can be distributed in the first transport zone S11, allowing the larger particles to be at least partially separated from the sample. For example, in this embodiment, the larger particles can include flocculent matter in sputum, and the smaller particles can include nucleic acids dissolved in the solution. The sample leaving the first filter tank G21 can be further filtered in the second filter tank G22, the third filter tank G23, the fourth filter tank G24, and the fifth filter tank G25, in sequence, gradually increasing the concentration of nucleic acids in the sample. Here, for the fourth filter tank G24, which does not have a sedimentation zone, larger particles can be distributed and settled on the radially outer portion of the fourth filter tank G24, while smaller particles can be distributed on the radially inner portion of the fourth filter tank G24.

[0052] The waste tank G5 is used to accommodate excess sample. Specifically, when the buffer tanks G3 and reaction tanks G4 are full, excess sample can flow into the waste tank G5 via the distribution channel P5 and the waste channel P8. Furthermore, the gas within the waste tank G5 is compressed during centrifugation, thereby facilitating the flow of sample downstream.

[0053] The control module is used to control the centrifugal module and the temperature control module. Specifically, the control module can be electrically connected to the centrifugal module to adjust the centrifugal force and centrifugal time of the centrifugal module. For example, in the present embodiment, under the control of the control module, the centrifugal module can separate samples by differential centrifugation. The control module can be electrically connected to the temperature control module to adjust the heating temperature and heating time of the temperature control module. For example, in the present embodiment, the lysis temperature and the amplification temperature can be different. In addition, under the control of the control module, the centrifugal module and the temperature control module can automatically work according to the program, so that the nucleic acid detection system can have a high degree of automation.

[0054] The microfluidic chip of this embodiment has at least the following advantages.

[0055] (i) The microfluidic chip exhibits excellent separation performance. Specifically, by ensuring that the depth of the sedimentation zone is greater than that of the transport zone, larger particles can be firmly deposited and retained at the axial bottom of the sedimentation zone, making it less likely for larger particles to flow downstream with smaller particles. Consequently, larger particles can be effectively separated from the sample. Furthermore, by providing multiple filter tanks in series, the sample can be filtered multiple times, further enhancing the separation performance.

[0056] (ii) The microfluidic chip has a relatively compact structure. Specifically, by making the depth of the sedimentation zone greater than the depth of the delivery zone, the filter tank can fully utilize the axial space. Given a certain volume, the opening of the filter tank can have a smaller area, resulting in a relatively compact layout of the tanks and flow channels of the microfluidic chip.

[0057] (iii) The microfluidic chip has a high flow efficiency. Specifically, by making the curved portion of the transport channel convex radially inward, the channel's extension direction has a radial component, allowing the sample to be driven by centrifugal force within the channel, thereby smoothly passing through the channel. Furthermore, by making the volume of the multiple filter tanks decrease in the direction of sample flow, the sample can be fully filtered while flowing through the multiple filter tanks at a faster rate.

[0058] (iv) The microfluidic chip is less susceptible to sample clogging. Specifically, by providing the secondary input channel P2 and the converging channel P3, samples can enter the primary input channel P1 in a more dispersed manner, thereby preventing clogging of the primary input channel P1 by samples. In some possible scenarios, even if the input end of the primary input channel P1 is clogged by sample, the sample can flow into the primary input channel P1 via the secondary input channel P2 and then enter the first filter tank G21 via the output end of the primary input channel P1.

[0059] (v) The microfluidic chip is easy to use. Specifically, by providing a vent port T2, gas within the sample loading tank G1 can be discharged from the sample loading tank G1 through the vent port T2, so that the air pressure within the sample loading tank G1 can be maintained balanced during the sample loading process, thereby facilitating the addition of samples to the sample loading tank G1.

[0060] (vi) The microfluidic chip has the function of filtering bubbles. Specifically, by providing a buffer tank G3, bubbles carried by the sample can be retained in the buffer tank G3, so that the bubbles do not occupy the space of the reaction tank G4, thereby ensuring that the sample can fully flow into the reaction tank G4.

[0061] It should be understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary and are not intended to limit the present application. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications and changes to the above embodiments based on the teachings of the present application without departing from the scope of the present application.

[0062] It should be understood that the number of filtration slots can be adjusted according to the sample. For example, for a sample that is easy to filter, the microfluidic chip may have only one filtration slot.

[0063] It should be understood that the temperature adjustment module is not limited to having a heating function, and may have a cooling function, for example.
