Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microelectromechanical systems and relates to a microchromatographic column with a uniform stationary phase and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Gas chromatography, as a common analytical method, has been widely used in fields such as petrochemicals, drug testing, energy exploration, and environmental monitoring.

[0003] The core component of a gas chromatograph is the gas chromatographic column, which separates the gases in a mixed sample to be analyzed. In the entire testing system, the performance of the gas chromatographic column directly affects the analytical results of the entire gas chromatography system, as it plays a crucial role in separating the mixed gases. The stationary phase is one of the key factors determining the separation effect of the gas chromatographic column. The stationary phase has different adsorption and desorption capacities for different gases, resulting in different flow rates of different gas components in the channel, ultimately achieving the separation of the mixed gases. Inhomogeneous distribution of the stationary phase can lead to problems such as low resolution and severe peak tailing. Therefore, the uniformity of the stationary phase distribution determines the separation performance; a uniform distribution of the stationary phase is essential for achieving efficient separation of the detected gases.

[0004] Currently, the main methods for forming the stationary phase of microchromatographic columns are dynamic coating and static coating. In addition, chemical vapor deposition, metal evaporation, sputtering, and layer-by-layer stacking techniques have also been used in stationary phase preparation. However, it remains difficult to prepare microchromatographic columns with a uniform stationary phase. There are two main reasons for this: First, current microchromatographic columns are generally based on silica-glass bonding. The microchannels of the microchromatographic column are composed of two heterogeneous materials, silica and glass, making it difficult to obtain a stationary phase with uniform thickness distribution on different material surfaces. Second, the interaction between the microchannel surface and the stationary phase material is weak, making it difficult to obtain a stationary phase with uniform thickness distribution and easily leading to column bleed.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a microchromatographic column with a uniform stationary phase and its preparation method. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a microchromatographic column with a uniform stationary phase and a method for preparing the same, so as to solve the problem of uniformity of the stationary phase in the prior art.

[0049] See Figures 2-5 This embodiment provides a microchromatographic column with a homogeneous stationary phase, the microchromatographic column comprising:

[0050] Substrate 100 and cover plate 300;

[0051] Microchannel 102, the microchannel 102 is located in the substrate 100, the microchannel 102 has a first port 103 and a second port 104;

[0052] Micropillar array 101, the micropillar array 101 being located in the microchannel 102;

[0053] A first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and a second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 are provided. The first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 covers the surface of the substrate 100, the microchannel 102 and the micropillar array 101. The second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 covers the surface of the cover plate 300. The cover plate 300 is bonded to the substrate 100 based on the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 to cover the microchannel 102 and form a closed microchannel 400, such that the surface of the closed microchannel 400 is coated with a hydrophilic metal oxide layer.

[0054] A hydrophilic fixed phase layer 500 covers the inner surface of the closed microchannel 400.

[0055] In this embodiment, a micropillar array 101 composed of multiple micropillars is provided in the microchannel 102, but it is not limited to this. In another embodiment, the micropillar array 101 may not be provided in the microchannel 102. The specific choice can be made according to the needs.

[0056] Specifically, in the microchromatographic column of this embodiment, the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 covering the surface of the substrate 100, the microchannel 102, and the microcolumn array 101, and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 covering the cover plate 300, when the substrate 100 and the cover plate 300 in the microchromatographic column are made of different materials, and the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 are made of the same material, homogeneous bonding between the substrate 100 and the cover plate 300 can be achieved, which can further improve the bonding force; the presence of the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 can make the inner surface of the closed microchannel 400 homogeneous, so that the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500 only contacts the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202, thus improving the uniformity of the distribution of the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500.

[0057] Furthermore, since both the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 are hydrophilic, they can provide a hydrophilic surface to improve the hydrophilicity of the inner surface material of the closed microchannel 400. When in contact with the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500, the uniformity of the distribution of the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500 can be effectively improved, thereby improving the separation performance of the microchromatographic column.

[0058] As an example, the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 may include one or a combination of a hydrophilic aluminum oxide layer, a hydrophilic zinc oxide layer, and a hydrophilic tin oxide layer; the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 may include one or a combination of a hydrophilic aluminum oxide layer, a hydrophilic zinc oxide layer, and a hydrophilic tin oxide layer.

[0059] Specifically, the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 can provide hydrophilic groups to combine with the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500 which has hydrophilic groups, thereby improving the interfacial force, making the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500 uniformly distributed, and less prone to column loss.

[0060] The first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 can be made of the same material, or different materials can be used as needed. The first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 can be a single layer or a stacked composite structure. No excessive limitation is made here, and the choice can be made as needed.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 are preferably made of the same material, and the hydrophilic alumina layer is selected as the hydrophilic metal oxide layer. However, it is not limited to this. As needed, the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 can also be a stacked composite structure. Preferably, the hydrophilic metal oxide layer exposed on the surface of the closed microchannel 400 is made of the same material in order to improve the bonding force between the hydrophilic metal oxide layer and the hydrophilic fixed phase layer 500.

[0062] As an example, the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500 may include one or a combination of a hydrophilic MOF layer and a hydrophilic mesoporous silica layer, but is not limited thereto.

[0063] Specifically, the hydrophilic fixed phase layer 500 has different adsorption and desorption capabilities for different gases, which allows different gas components to have different flow rates in the closed microchannel 400 and different gas components to reach the second port 104 from the first port 103 at different times, thereby enabling the separation of the mixed gas.

[0064] The hydrophilic properties of the hydrophilic fixed phase layer 500 enable it to interact well with the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 located on the inner surface of the closed microchannel 400, thereby improving the uniformity of the distribution of the hydrophilic fixed phase layer 500.

[0065] Regarding the selection of the material of the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500, it can be a single-layer hydrophilic MOF layer, such as HKUST-1 layer, UiO-67 layer, etc., to provide hydrophilic groups, such as -NH2, -COOH, -OH, etc. Alternatively, the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500 can also be selected as a hydrophilic mesoporous silica layer, or the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500 can also be a stacked composite structure of hydrophilic MOF, or a stacked composite structure composed of hydrophilic MOF layer and hydrophilic mesoporous silica layer, etc.

[0066] like Figure 6In this embodiment, both the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 are hydrophilic aluminum oxide layers, and the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500 is an HKUST-1 layer to form a good bonding force. However, the selection of the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201, the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 and the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500 is not limited to this.

[0067] As an example, the substrate 100 may include a silicon substrate, a glass substrate, or a ceramic substrate; the cover plate 300 may include a glass cover plate, a silicon cover plate, or a ceramic cover plate.

[0068] Specifically, the substrate 100 and the cover plate 300 can be made of the same material, but different materials can be used as needed. In this embodiment, the substrate 100 is a commonly used silicon substrate, and the cover plate 300 is a glass cover plate, but it is not limited to these.

[0069] As an example, the micropillars in the micropillar array 101 may include elliptical micropillars or circular micropillars.

[0070] Specifically, when the micropillar is an elliptical micropillar, preferably the major axis of the elliptical micropillar is parallel to the extending direction of the microchannel 102, and the minor axis of the elliptical micropillar is parallel to the width direction of the microchannel 102, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the micropillar array 101 can be formed by arranging multiple micropillars located in the microchannel 102, which greatly reduces the area of ​​the "quasi-zero flow velocity region" formed by the micropillars, so as to facilitate the uniform attachment of the hydrophilic fixed phase layer 500 and make the flow velocity distribution in the column uniform. However, it is not limited to this. The micropillars can also be circular micropillars. The specific morphology of the micropillar array 101 is not limited here.

[0071] As an example, the morphology of the microchannel 102 may include a serpentine extension, a zigzag extension, a U-shaped extension, or a spiral extension.

[0072] Specifically, such as Figure 2 In this embodiment, the microchannel 102 extends in a serpentine shape. Of course, in other examples, the microchannel 102 can also extend in the substrate 100 in any way, such as zigzag extension, U-shaped extension, spiral extension, etc. There are no excessive restrictions here.

[0073] See Figure 1 The present invention also provides a method for preparing a microchromatographic column with a uniform stationary phase, comprising the following steps:

[0074] S1: Provide substrate 100;

[0075] S2: Pattern the substrate 100 and form a microchannel 102 and a micropillar array 101 in the substrate 100, wherein the microchannel 102 has a first port 103 and a second port 104, and the micropillar array 101 is located in the microchannel 102;

[0076] S3: Form a first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 covering the surfaces of the substrate 100, the microchannel 102 and the micropillar array 101;

[0077] S4: Provide a cover plate 300, and form a second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 on the surface of the cover plate 300;

[0078] S5: The cover plate 300 is bonded to the substrate 100 based on the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 to cover the microchannel 102 and form a closed microchannel 400.

[0079] S6: Form a hydrophilic fixed phase layer 500, which covers the inner surface of the closed microchannel 400.

[0080] Specifically, the microchromatographic column described above can be prepared using this method, but it is not limited to this method. It can also be adapted and transformed as needed. In this embodiment, when the substrate 100 is patterned, a microcolumn array 101 composed of multiple microcolumns is formed in the microchannel. However, it is not limited to this. In another embodiment, the microcolumn array 101 may not be provided in the microchannel 102. The specific selection can be made as needed.

[0081] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2 ~Attached Figure 5 The preparation of the microchromatographic column is described below.

[0083] Specifically, the substrate 100 may include a silicon substrate, a glass substrate, or a ceramic substrate, etc. The substrate 100 may be patterned using a DRIE process. For example, a mask layer (not shown), such as a silicon oxide mask layer, a silicon nitride mask layer, or a photoresist mask layer, may be formed on the surface of the substrate 100. The mask layer is patterned by photolithography and etching, and then the substrate 100 is etched to form the microchannel 102 with the first port 103 and the second port 104 and the micropillar array 101 in the substrate 100. The mask layer is then removed. The method for patterning the substrate 100 is not limited to the DRIE process.

[0084] Next, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Step S3 is executed to form a first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 covering the surfaces of the substrate 100, the microchannel 102 and the micropillar array 101.

[0090] Next, refer to Figure 1and Figure 4 In step S5, the cover plate 300 is bonded to the substrate 100 based on the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 to cover the microchannel 102 and form a closed microchannel 400.

[0091] The cover plate 300 can be bonded to the substrate 100 using, but is not limited to, anodizing bonding. The bonding process conditions can be selected as needed, and no excessive restrictions are imposed here.

[0092] Specifically, the cover plate 300 can be placed in the cathode of the bonding machine, and the substrate 100 can be placed in the anode of the bonding machine to perform silicon glass anodic bonding. After bonding is completed, the first port 103 and the second port 104 can be exposed by dicing. Then, capillaries (not shown) can be installed and fixed in the first port 103 and the second port 104 to facilitate the subsequent preparation of the hydrophilic fixed phase layer 500.

[0093] In this embodiment, it is preferable that the first hydrophilic metal oxide layer 201 and the second hydrophilic metal oxide layer 202 are made of the same material, so as to improve the bonding force between the cover plate 300 and the substrate 100, and to improve the uniformity of the distribution of the subsequent hydrophilic fixed phase layer 500.

[0094] Next, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 Step S6 is executed to form a hydrophilic fixed phase layer 500, which covers the inner surface of the closed microchannel 400.

[0095] Specifically, the method for forming the hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500 may be a coating method, such as a dynamic coating method, but is not limited to this. The formed hydrophilic stationary phase layer 500 may include one or a combination of a hydrophilic MOF layer and a hydrophilic mesoporous silica layer.
