Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of three-dimensional printing of heterogeneous materials, and specifically to a flow-type electrical impedance detection device manufactured by three-dimensional printing. Background Art
[0002] High-throughput label-free detection of biological particles such as cells is of great significance in the fields of life sciences, clinical medicine, chemistry and chemical engineering. At present, the mainstream detection method of biological particles still mainly relies on the immunolabeling method, that is, the use of specific biological reagents to achieve the identification of biological particles. This method has the defects of high cost and long time consumption. In addition, this method often requires trained professionals to operate, and this method often causes apoptosis of biological particles, which is not conducive to its subsequent biochemical research. In recent years, with the advancement of Wiener processing technology, flow impedance detection technology has made great progress in the detection of biological particles. Taking cells as an example, flow impedance detection technology realizes label-free detection of cells by analyzing the disturbance of the electric field when cells pass through the electric field area. For example, there are large differences between white blood cells and tumor cells in the amplitude and phase of the impedance signal. However, the electrodes of the existing flow impedance detection device are usually coplanar or face-to-face electrode structures. Since the electric field attenuation is greater the farther away from the electrode, the position of the biological particles in the detection area has a greater interference with the detection signal, thereby causing inaccurate detection. Therefore, how to eliminate the detection error caused by the position of biological particles such as cells in the flow impedance detection device is the key to achieving high-throughput and accurate detection of biological particles, and has great application value in disease diagnosis, single-cell physical properties research and other fields.

[0008] Preferably, the flow channel layer is provided with a flow channel inlet, a flow channel outlet, an outlet flow channel, a large positioning mark, a detection flow channel, and an inlet flow channel; wherein the flow channel inlet and the flow channel outlet are respectively opposite to the sample inlet and the sample outlet on the upper electrode layer; the inlet flow channel and the outlet flow channel are wider than the detection flow channel, which is convenient for high-throughput sampling; the large positioning mark corresponds to the large positioning mark on the upper electrode layer to achieve precise alignment between the upper electrode layer and the flow channel layer; the structure of the detection flow channel is a straight channel or a serpentine flow channel shape, which is used to achieve precise focusing of tiny biological particles, so that the biological particles pass through the detection area at a fixed position, thereby increasing the accuracy of electrical impedance detection.

[0010] Since the detection channel of the flow-type electrical impedance detection device proposed in the present invention is a straight channel or a serpentine channel with a high aspect ratio, tiny biological particles such as cells are precisely focused in the channel and distributed on the upper and lower sides of the detection channel, that is, Figure 5 (2) As shown in positions #1 and #2, when biological particles pass through positions #1 and #2, electric field disturbances will be generated.

[0012] Principle description: In the detection channel, the sample liquid containing biological particles is injected into the detection channel through the sample liquid inlet. The detection channel is a straight channel or a serpentine channel with a high aspect ratio. Under the inertial flow of a limited flow rate, the biological particles can be focused at two equilibrium positions above and below the channel, so as to pass through the detection area at a specific position. The principle is that the channel is affected by the inertial lift in the straight channel with a high aspect ratio, so the biological particles are focused at two equilibrium positions at the upper and lower ends of the channel; in the serpentine channel with a high aspect ratio, the biological particles are affected by the inertial lift and the Dean drag, so the cells can balance faster at the two equilibrium positions at the upper and lower ends of the channel; therefore, in the detection channel, the biological particles can pass through the detection area at two specific positions.
[0013] In the detection area of the present invention, the basic principle is that when cells pass through the electric field area, electric field disturbance will be generated. By analyzing the disturbance effect of different cells on the electric field, cell counting and type identification can be achieved. In order to realize the simultaneous and accurate detection of the two equilibrium positions, the upper and lower positions, in the detection channel, a new current differential method is designed in the present invention. In addition to the flow impedance detection device itself, the external circuit of the electrical impedance detection also includes two transimpedance amplifiers, a differential amplifier, a signal generator, a mixer, a low-pass filter, and a phase inverter; the two electrodes on the left side of the upper detection electrode and the two electrodes on the right side of the lower detection electrode are excitation electrodes and are applied with an electric field, and the two electrodes on the right side of the upper detection electrode and the two electrodes on the left side of the lower detection electrode are sensing electrodes to realize the reception of the sensing signal; the signal generator sends out a detection signal, which is applied to the two electrodes on the left side of the upper electrode and the two electrodes on the right side of the lower electrode after passing through the phase inverter, that is, the electric field applied to the two electrodes on the left side of the upper electrode and the electric field applied to the two electrodes on the right side of the lower electrode are the same in magnitude and opposite in phase; the sensing electrodes are short-circuited and amplified by the transimpedance amplifier to form the first differential; the signal after the first differential is then connected to the differential amplifier for the second differential, and then the signal is amplified by the phase-locked amplifier composed of the signal generator, the mixer, and the low-pass filter, and finally a weak electrical impedance signal is obtained. Since the detection channel of the flow-type electrical impedance detection device proposed in the present invention is a straight channel or a serpentine channel with a high aspect ratio, tiny biological particles such as cells are precisely focused in the channel and are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the detection channel respectively. When the biological particles pass through these two positions, electric field disturbances will be generated. Due to the original electric signal differential method of the present invention as described above, the signals generated by the same biological particle at the two positions are equal in size and centrally symmetrical in shape, thereby avoiding inaccurate detection due to uneven electric field distribution.

Figure 5 As shown in (1-3), since the detection channel 24 of the flow-type electrical impedance detection device proposed in the present invention is a straight channel or a serpentine channel with a high aspect ratio, tiny biological particles such as cells are precisely focused in the channel and are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the detection channel, that is, Figure 5 (2) At positions #1 and #2, when a biological particle passes through positions #1 and #2, an electric field disturbance will be generated.
