TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of three-dimensional printing of heterogeneous materials, and particularly relates to a three-dimensional printing manufacturing flow-type electrical impedance detection device. BACKGROUND
[0002] High-throughput non-labeled detection of biological particles such as cells has important significance in the fields of life science, clinical medicine, chemistry and chemical industry. At present, the mainstream detection method of biological particles still mainly relies on the method of immune labeling, that is, specific biological reagents are used to realize the identification of biological particles. This method has the defects of high cost and long time consumption. In addition, this method often needs to be operated by trained professionals, and this method often causes apoptosis of biological particles, which is not conducive to subsequent biochemical research. In recent years, with the progress of Wiener processing technology, flow-type electrical impedance detection technology has made great development in the detection of biological particles. Taking cells as an example, flow-type electrical impedance detection technology realizes non-labeled detection of cells by analyzing the disturbance of cells to the electric field when the cells pass through the electric field area. For example, leukocytes and tumor cells have great differences in impedance signal amplitude and phase. However, the electrodes of the existing flow-type electrical impedance detection device are usually coplanar or face-to-face electrode structures. Since the farther away from the electrode, the greater the electric field attenuation, therefore, the position of the biological particles in the detection area has great interference on the detection signal, and further causes inaccurate detection. Therefore, how to eliminate the detection error caused by the position of the biological particles such as cells in the flow-type electrical impedance detection device is the key to realize high-throughput and accurate detection of biological particles, and has great application value in the fields of disease diagnosis and single-cell physical property research.

[0013] Principle:
[0014] In the detection flow channel, the sample liquid containing biological particles is injected into the detection flow channel through the sample liquid inlet. The detection flow channel is a high aspect ratio straight channel or a serpentine flow channel. Under the inertial flow of limited flow rate, the biological particles can be focused on the two equilibrium positions of the flow channel, thereby passing through the detection area at a specific position. The principle is that the flow channel is subjected to the action of inertial lift force in the high aspect ratio straight channel, and the biological particles are thus focused on the two equilibrium positions of the upper and lower flow channels. In the high aspect ratio serpentine flow channel, the biological particles are subjected to the combined action of inertial lift force and Dean drag force, and the cells can be balanced at the two equilibrium positions of the upper and lower flow channels more quickly. Therefore, in the detection flow channel, the biological particles can pass through the detection area at two specific positions.
[0015] In the detection area of the application, the basic principle is that cells will produce disturbance of electric field when passing through the electric field area, and by analyzing the disturbance effect of different cells on electric field, the counting and identification of cells can be realized. In order to realize the simultaneous and accurate detection of the upper and lower balance positions in the detection flow channel, a current difference method is newly designed in the application, in addition to the flow impedance detection device itself, the external circuit of the electric impedance detection also includes two transimpedance amplifiers, a differential amplifier, a signal generator, a mixer, a low-pass filter, 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 electric field, 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, which realize the reception of sensing signal; the detection signal is sent out by the signal generator, and after passing through the phase inverter, it 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, 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 size and opposite in phase; the sensing electrodes are staggered and short-circuited, then amplified by the transimpedance amplifier, and the first difference is formed; the signal after the first difference is then connected to the differential amplifier for the second difference, then the signal is amplified by the phase-locked amplifier composed of the signal generator, the mixer and the low-pass filter, and finally the weak electric impedance signal is obtained. Since the detection flow channel of the flow electric impedance detection device proposed in the application is a high-depth-ratio straight flow channel or a serpentine flow channel, the microorganisms such as cells are accurately focused in the flow channel and are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the detection flow channel respectively, and the biological particles will produce disturbance of electric field when passing through the two positions, and due to the unique electric signal difference method of the application described above, the signals generated by the same biological particle at the two positions are equal in size and center-symmetric in shape, thereby avoiding the inaccurate detection caused by uneven distribution of electric field.

The four detection electrodes are thinner at the beginning, and their size matches the cell size. The four detection electrodes are thicker at the end, and their larger size facilitates their connection with external circuits.

The flow channel inlet 21 and the flow channel outlet 22 are respectively opposite to the sample inlet 18 and the sample outlet 16 on the upper electrode layer 1. The inlet flow channel 25 and the outlet flow channel 23 are wider than the detection flow channel 24, which facilitates high-throughput sampling. The flow channel layer large positioning mark 23 corresponds to the upper electrode layer large positioning mark 17 on the upper electrode layer 1, which realizes the accurate alignment between the upper electrode layer 1 and the flow channel layer 2. The structure of the detection flow channel 24 is a straight flow channel or a serpentine flow channel shape, which is used to realize the accurate focusing of the micro-biological particles, so that the biological particles pass through the detection area at a fixed position, thereby increasing the accuracy during the electrical impedance detection.
[0027] As shown in Figure 4 The lower electrode layer 3 is provided with four detection electrodes, which are a lower electrode layer detection electrode one 31, a lower electrode layer detection electrode two 32, a lower electrode layer detection electrode three 33, and a lower electrode layer detection electrode four 34.

The ends of the four detection electrodes are thick, and their large sizes facilitate their connection with external circuits. The lower electrode layer 3 is provided with a lower electrode layer small positioning mark 35 and a lower electrode layer large positioning mark 36, which facilitates the mutual alignment between the upper electrode layer 1, the flow channel layer 2, and the lower electrode layer 3. After alignment, the detection electrodes on the upper electrode layer 1 and the lower electrode layer 3 are distributed in parallel face to face, and the ends of the detection flow channel 24 in the flow channel layer 2 are located in the middle of the detection electrodes in the upper electrode layer 1 and the lower electrode layer 3.

As shown in Figure 5 (1-3) shown, since the flow impedance detection device of the application has a detection flow channel 24 with high aspect ratio, the microorganism particles such as cells are precisely focused in the flow channel and distributed on the upper and lower sides of the detection flow channel, respectively, that is Figure 5 (2) shown in position #1 and #2, the biological particles will produce disturbance of electric field when passing through position #1 and #2, due to the unique electric signal difference mode of the application described above, the signals generated by the same biological particle at position #1 and position #2 are equal in size and center-symmetric in shape (as Figure 5 (3) shown), so as to avoid the inaccurate detection caused by uneven distribution of electric field.
