Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid-phase extraction micropillar array chip technology, specifically to a solid-phase extraction micropillar array chip based on 4D printing, its construction method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] The analysis of metallic speciation is of great significance in fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, and life sciences, because different speciations and states of existence of metals directly affect their properties and reactivity. However, accurately and efficiently analyzing the different speciations of metallic elements remains a challenging task. Traditional analytical methods often suffer from poor selectivity, cumbersome operations, and complex sample pretreatment when dealing with different metallic speciations. Solid-phase microextraction based on microcolumns can effectively improve enrichment efficiency, performing enrichment and separation within the column and reducing sample loss during the enrichment process. The microcolumn-based extraction process eliminates the need for multiple pipetting and sample transfers, reducing the risk of operational errors and making it particularly suitable for automated analytical workflows. Furthermore, integrating multiple microcolumns onto a chip to construct a microextraction chip platform enables high-throughput sample processing.
[0003] In recent years, 3D printing technology has made the design of solid-phase extraction microcolumns highly flexible and customizable. Researchers can precisely design the structure, shape, and channels of the column according to specific analytical needs to adapt to the properties of different analytes. This personalized design helps improve the selectivity and efficiency of analysis. However, traditional 3D printing technology is static in the time dimension and cannot adapt to the needs of material morphology changes.
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of traditional 3D printing technology in solid-phase extraction, the introduction of 4D printing technology can provide a more innovative solution. 4D printing adds a time dimension to 3D printing, enabling materials to undergo morphological and property changes in response to external stimuli, bringing multiple advantages to the solid-phase extraction process. First, 4D printing technology allows for real-time material response, enabling dynamic adjustments to the solid-phase extraction process based on actual conditions. For example, temperature-sensitive materials can be designed to undergo morphological changes with temperature, thereby controlling the extraction process. Such real-time adjustments enhance the selectivity and efficiency of extraction. Second, 4D printing technology introduces greater controllability and precision to the solid-phase extraction process. By designing material structures with specific responsive characteristics, fine-tuning of key parameters such as extraction rate and carrier selection can be achieved. This controllability facilitates more precise operation during extraction, resulting in more reliable analytical results.
[0005] Therefore, this invention provides a method for constructing a solid-phase extraction micropillar array chip based on 4D printing, combining 3D printing technology, 4D printing technology, and a microfluidic system to build a solid-phase microextraction microfluidic chip platform. As an innovative tool, the microfluidic chip has the characteristic of precisely manipulating trace amounts of liquid, enabling minimal reagent consumption, high-throughput analysis, and rapid experimental processes. By integrating 4D-printed magnetically responsive structures into the microfluidic channels, dynamic control of the solid-phase extraction process can be achieved, thereby improving selectivity and extraction efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of the existing technologies, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide a solid-phase extraction micropillar array chip based on 4D printing. This invention provides a solid-phase extraction micropillar array chip that integrates 4D-printed magnetic responsive structures in a microfluidic channel, introducing intelligent, dynamic, and real-time capabilities into the sample pretreatment process to achieve dynamic control of the solid-phase extraction process. It has advantages such as high efficiency, high accuracy, and high flexibility, and can realize solid-phase extraction and speciation analysis of metal elements.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0009] Preferably, the mass ratio of PDMS, Fe3O4, and SiO2 is 1:(0.5~3):(0.01~1).
[0010] More preferably, the mass ratio of PDMS, Fe3O4, and SiO2 is 1:2:0.02.
[0011] The above-mentioned method for constructing a solid-phase extraction micropillar array chip based on 4D printing includes the following steps:

A similar phenomenon occurs when multiple magnetic flowers are arranged in series to form micropillars under a magnetic field. It is precisely because of the presence of magnetically responsive micropillars with shape memory behavior that the solid-phase extraction micropillar array chip of this invention possesses advantages such as high efficiency, high accuracy, and high flexibility.
[0021] The present invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned solid phase extraction micropillar array chip in solid phase extraction and speciation analysis of metal elements.

Under the action of a magnetic field, the magnetically responsive micropillars constructed by multiple magnetic flowers in series promote the adsorption of metal elements, further realizing solid-phase microextraction of metal elements on a microfluidic platform, and achieving element speciation analysis through sequential desorption.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:
[0025] (1) The method provided by the present invention combines 3D printing technology, 4D printing technology and microfluidic chip technology to construct an array solid phase extraction micropillar chip with magnetic response, giving full play to the advantages of 3D printing technology, 4D printing technology and microfluidic chip technology;

The printed object is consistent with the design size, and the reproducibility of multiple printings is good. Figure 2 A photograph showing the shape of a single magnetic flower with magnetic response characteristics under the influence of a magnetic field.
[0049] (2) Multiple magnetic flowers are connected in series through capillary tubes to form a micro-column structure with magnetic response. The micro-column shell is made by LCD printing. The micro-column and the micro-column shell are combined to construct a micro-extraction device containing an inlet (1 mm id), an outlet (1 mm id), and a micro-column. Figure 1 Figure b shows actual photos and design drawings of the micropillar based on DIW printing and the micropillar shell based on LCD printing, and the specific dimensions are marked in the design drawing of the micropillar shell; Figure 1 Figure c shows a photograph and design drawing of a microextraction device including an inlet, an outlet, and a microcolumn.

[0051] Unless otherwise specified, the following application examples 1-5 all use the solid-phase extraction micropillar array chip constructed in Example 1 for Ag. + Solid-phase extraction and speciation analysis were performed on 10-15 nm Ag NPs and 50 nm Ag NPs.
[0052] Application Example 1
[0053] This application example examines the effects of sample pH, number of magnetic flowers, extraction column structure, and composition on adsorption efficiency.
[0054] like Figure 3 As shown in Figure a, the adsorption efficiency gradually increases with increasing pH, reaching a quantitative level; considering that Ag > 7.7, + Hydrolysis begins to form a precipitate, and pH 7 is selected for subsequent optimization of the number of magnetic flowers in the microcolumn.
[0055] The optimization results for the number of magnetic flowers in the micropillars, such as Figure 3 As shown in b, Ag can be achieved when the number of magnetic flowers in a single micropillar reaches 20 or more. + Quantitative adsorption of Ag NPs.
[0056] Figure 3 c represents the influence of micropillar structure and composition on adsorption efficiency; such as Figure 3 As shown in Figure c, the micropillars are cylindrical and magnetic flower structures, respectively. The components of the micropillars, from left to right, are: PDMS, PDMS / Fe3O4 (PDMS:Fe3O4 = 1:2), and PDMS / Fe3O4 / SiO2 (PDMS:Fe3O4:SiO2 = 1:2:0.02). The volumes of the cylindrical and magnetic flower pillars made from these components remain unchanged.

[0057] Application Example 2
[0058] This application example uses 10~50 μL min -1 The effect of sample flow rate on adsorption efficiency was investigated within a certain range:
[0059] like Figure 4 As shown in figures a~4c, under non-magnetic field conditions, the magnetic flower micropillars for Ag + The adsorption efficiency of AgNPs is relatively low; under the action of a magnetic field (magnetic field strength 68.8~304.6 mT), the adsorption efficiency is 10~20 μL / min. -1 Ag can be achieved at all flow rates + Quantitative adsorption of AgNPs was observed; the adsorption efficiency gradually decreased with further increase in flow rate, therefore a flow rate of 20 μL / min was selected. -1The sample flow rate was then used for subsequent condition optimization. Different currents in the electromagnetic field correspond to different magnetic field strengths, and the effect of different currents in the electromagnetic field on adsorption was further investigated. Figure 4 As shown in d, the changes in current (1A, 2A, 3A) for Ag + The magnetic flower micropillars have little effect on 10-15 nm AgNPs and can achieve quantitative adsorption. This may be because the magnetic flower is thin and can achieve good deformation and shape memory at low current. Increasing the current can promote the adsorption of 50 nm AgNPs by the magnetic flower micropillars.
[0060] Application Example 3
[0061] This application example examines the desorption effect of the desorbent at different concentrations:
[0062] Studies have found that Na₂S₂O₃ has a good desorption effect on Ag NPs, and thiourea has a good desorption effect on Ag NPs. + It has good desorption effect. At a Na₂S₂O₃ concentration of 2 mmol / L... -1 ~20 mmol L -1 Its elution effect on Ag speciation was investigated, such as...

Further investigation was conducted using 2 mol L of thiourea containing 0.1%–4% thiourea. -1 The elution effect of HNO3 on Ag speciation, such as Figure 5 As shown in b, when the thiourea concentration reaches 1% (w / v), Ag + It can be quantitatively recovered, as evidenced by the use of 10 mM Na2S2O3 and 2 mol L of thiourea containing 1% (w / v) respectively. -1 HNO3 can realize Ag NPs and Ag + Sequential desorption to achieve Ag NPs and Ag + Separation of the two Ag speciations. Subsequently, the effect of different concentrations of nitric acid in 1% thiourea on the recovery rates of the two Ag speciations was investigated, such as... Figure 5 As shown in Figure c, the recovery rates of both Ag forms continuously increase with increasing nitric acid concentration. When the HNO3 concentration is 0.5 mol / L... -1 At that time, Ag + It can be quantitatively recovered when the HNO3 concentration reaches 2 mol L. -1 Ag NPs have not yet achieved quantitative recovery. Figure 5b shows that the two Ag forms in 2 mol L of thiourea containing 4% (w / v) -1 Quantitative recovery was achieved in HNO3 solution, but considering that excessively high concentrations of nitric acid might damage Fe3O4 in the microcolumn, 10 mM Na2S2O3 and 0.5 mol L of thiourea containing 1% (w / v) were ultimately chosen. -1 HNO3 solution was used as Ag NPs and Ag, respectively. + Sequential desorbents.
[0063] With a fixed sample volume of 1 mL, samples were prepared using 10 mM Na₂S₂O₃(a) and 0.5 mol L⁻¹ thiourea containing 1% (w / v) thiourea. -1 HNO3(b) solution as Ag NPs and Ag + The effects of different eluent dosages on AgNPs and Ag in sequential desorption were investigated. + The effect of recovery rate. The target Ag speciation was sequentially desorbed using four 50 μL portions of each of the two desorbents, and the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in d and 5e, when the volume of desorbent (a) reaches 100 μL, quantitative desorption of Ag NPs can be achieved; when the volume of desorbent (b) is 50 μL, quantitative desorption of Ag NPs can be achieved. + Quantitative desorption was performed; therefore, Ag NPs and Ag were selected. + The desorption volumes were 100 and 50 μL, respectively.
[0064] Application Example 4
[0065] This application example examines sample volume and Ag. + The effect of Ag NP concentration ratio and Ag NP particle size on recovery rate:
[0066] Sample volume is closely related to the analytical speed and enrichment fold of the method. With the amounts of the two Ag speciations in the sample fixed at 10 ng each, the effect of sample volume on Ag NPs and Ag enrichment was investigated within the range of 0.1–5.0 mL. + The impact of recovery rate. For example... Figure 6 As shown in a, within the scope of the investigation, the microcolumns can achieve quantitative recovery of both Ag forms.
[0067] Considering both enrichment factor and analysis speed, 1.0 mL was chosen as the sample volume. This is because Ag in actual samples... + The concentrations of Ag and Ag NPs are uncertain, and there is an interconversion between them; therefore, it is necessary to investigate different proportions of Ag. + The effect of / Ag NPs. This method on Ag + The linear ranges for Ag NPs and Ag NPs are 0.01–100 μg / L, respectively.-1 0.02~100 μg / L -1 In Ag + The effect of sequential desorption on the recovery of the two Hg speciations was investigated within the concentration ratio of / Ag NPs ranging from 1:9 to 9:1. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown in b. The results indicate that Ag + Both Ag and Ag NPs can be quantitatively recovered within the studied range, indicating that this method can recover a certain proportion of Ag in actual samples. + Ag NPs analysis has good application potential.
[0068] Considering that the particle size of Ag NPs in actual samples is uncertain, the adsorption and desorption behavior of Ag NPs with different particle sizes was investigated. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown in Figure c, it can be seen that the recovery rate of Ag NPs decreases slightly with increasing particle size, but this does not affect the recovery rate of Ag. + The method achieves a high recovery rate, enabling quantitative recovery of Ag NPs (4~70 nm) over a wide particle size range.
