[0033] Example 1
[0034] like Figure 1 The microfluidic pump for isothermal nucleic acid amplification reaction shown in the figure comprises at least two microfluidic pumps, and the microfluidic pump comprises:
[0035] A liquid containing chamber 1, wherein at least one side wall of the liquid containing chamber 1 is a piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2, and the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 vibrates to put the liquid containing chamber 1 into a contraction or expansion state;
[0036] The liquid flows into the channel 3, and the liquid flows into the channel 3 and communicates with the liquid containing chamber 1 through the first one-way valve 4;
[0037] A liquid outflow channel 5, the liquid outflow channel 5 is connected to the liquid containing chamber 1 through a second one-way valve 6;
[0038] An isothermal reaction chamber 7, which is connected to the liquid outflow channel 5 and is used for performing isothermal nucleic acid amplification reaction;
[0039] When the liquid containing chamber 1 is in an expanded state (at this time, the air pressure in the liquid containing chamber 1 is lower than the external atmospheric pressure), the first one-way valve 4 is opened, and the second one-way valve 6 is closed, and the liquid flows from the first one-way valve 4 into the liquid containing chamber 1;
[0040] When the liquid holding chamber 1 is in a contracted state (at this time the air pressure in the liquid holding chamber 1 is higher than the external atmospheric pressure), the first one-way valve 4 is closed and the second one-way valve 6 is opened, and the liquid in the liquid holding chamber 1 flows out from the second one-way valve 6 and flows into the isothermal reaction chamber 7 through the liquid outflow channel 5.
[0041] The first one-way valve 4 and the second one-way valve 6 are both used for one-way inflow and outflow of liquid; the first one-way valve 4 and the second one-way valve can be used as follows Figure 1 The umbrella-shaped one-way valve shown in FIG. Figure 2 The cantilever valve shown has the effect of preventing liquid backflow, etc.
[0042] The microfluidic pump of the present invention further comprises a driving circuit, which is connected to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 and is used to apply voltage to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2. The voltage signal provided by the driving circuit is an alternating signal.
[0043] Specifically, when voltage is applied to the piezoelectric ceramic piece 2, the piezoelectric ceramic piece 2 as a driving source will vibrate up and down. When the piezoelectric ceramic piece 2 vibrates in a direction outside the liquid holding chamber 1, a low pressure is formed in the liquid holding chamber 1, and the pressure in the liquid holding chamber 1 is less than the external atmospheric pressure. The liquid holding chamber 1 is in an expanded state. At this time, the first one-way valve 4 is opened, and the second one-way valve 6 is closed, and the liquid flows into the liquid holding chamber 1 from the first one-way valve 4; when the piezoelectric ceramic piece 2 vibrates in a direction inside the liquid holding chamber 1 under the drive of voltage, a high pressure is formed in the liquid holding chamber 1, and the pressure in the liquid holding chamber 1 is greater than the external atmospheric pressure, so that the liquid holding chamber 1 is in a contracted state. At this time, the first one-way valve 4 is closed, and the second one-way valve 6 is opened, and the liquid in the liquid holding chamber 1 flows out from the second one-way valve 6, flows into the isothermal reaction chamber 7 through the liquid outflow channel 5, and performs a nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction.
[0044] The specific sizes of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2, the liquid containing cavity 1, the liquid inlet channel 3, the liquid outlet channel 5 and the isothermal reaction chamber 7 are determined according to actual needs.
[0045] Furthermore, the expansion state of the liquid holding chamber 1 is the state in which the pressure inside the liquid holding chamber 1 is less than the external atmospheric pressure; the contraction state of the liquid holding chamber 1 refers to the state in which the pressure inside the liquid holding chamber 1 is greater than the external atmospheric pressure.
[0046] Among them, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 has a high sensitivity and can be made very thin, so the overall size of the microfluidic pump can be reduced. If an AC square wave signal is applied to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2, the above process can be repeated, and different flow rates can be achieved by adjusting the amplitude and frequency of the signal voltage to achieve the purpose of accurately quantitatively inputting the reactants.
[0047] The microfluidic pump of the present invention controls the contraction or expansion state of the liquid holding chamber 1 by deforming the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 under the drive of voltage, so that the liquid reaction substance passes through the liquid holding chamber 1 from the liquid inflow channel 3, flows out from the liquid outflow channel 5, enters the isothermal reaction chamber 7, and undergoes nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction after mixing. The relationship between the pressure of the liquid holding chamber 1 and the external atmospheric pressure can be adjusted by adjusting the voltage amplitude and frequency, thereby controlling the liquid reaction substance to flow in from the liquid inflow channel 3, flow out from the liquid outflow channel 5, and control the flow rate of the liquid reaction substance. Moreover, since the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 has a high sensitivity, it can be made into a small and thin sheet to make a miniaturized microfluidic pump, which has great potential in the field of biomedicine.
[0048] Furthermore, the microfluidic pump of the present invention includes an injection molded structure, a liquid containing cavity 1 is formed between the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 and the injection molded structure, the injection molded structure includes a channel layer and a buffer cavity layer, and the channel layer is provided with a liquid inlet channel 3 and a liquid outlet channel 5.
[0049] Among them, the purpose of setting the buffer chamber layer is to temporarily store the liquid reactant flowing in from the first one-way valve 4, so as to ensure that the source of liquid reactant in the liquid holding chamber 1 is sufficient, and by controlling the opening degree of the second one-way valve 6, the liquid reactant can be controlled to flow out of the liquid channel 5 to control the liquid flow rate.
[0050] In a specific embodiment, the material and size of the injection molded part structure depend on the specific application scenario (for example, for drugs, it is necessary to consider whether it will cause contamination to the drug, and for biological experiments, whether it is biocompatible).
[0051] Preferably, the inflow and outflow flow of the liquid can be controlled by controlling the switching amplitude of the first one-way valve 4 and the second one-way valve 6. The switching amplitude of the first one-way valve 4 and the second one-way valve 6 is determined by the voltage applied to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2. The amplitude of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 can be further adjusted by changing the voltage applied to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 by the driving circuit to accurately control the flow. The greater the voltage applied to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2, the greater the pressure difference between the liquid holding chamber 1 and the external atmospheric pressure, the greater the switching amplitude of the first one-way valve 4 and the second one-way valve 6, and therefore the greater the inflow and outflow flow of the liquid.
[0052] The microfluidic pump in the present invention further comprises a sealing layer, which covers the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 and seals the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 to prevent the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 from being exposed to humid air for a long time and causing short circuits, device damage, etc.
[0053] Furthermore, a temperature control device and a temperature measuring device are also provided in the isothermal reaction chamber 7, and the isothermal reaction chamber 7 is used to control the progress of the nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction; wherein the temperature control device is used to control the temperature in the isothermal reaction chamber 7 to achieve heating and maintain a constant temperature, and the temperature measuring device is used to detect the temperature in the isothermal reaction chamber 7 and provide real-time feedback of the current temperature.
[0054] The isothermal reaction chamber 7 can adjust the temperature control device therein according to the actual application conditions of the nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction, thereby controlling the temperature change and maintaining a constant temperature to provide a place for the reaction.
[0055] In this embodiment, the microfluidic pump has two microfluidic pumps, such as Figure 1As shown, during actual use, one of the microfluidic pumps is used to control the inflow and outflow of nucleic acids, and the other microfluidic pump is used to control the inflow and outflow of enzymes required for the reaction. The nucleic acids and the enzymes required for the reaction eventually flow into the isothermal reaction chamber 7, and the nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction is carried out in the isothermal reaction chamber 7.
[0056] Furthermore, in actual use, the nucleic acid and enzyme need to be prepared into corresponding nucleic acid solutions and enzyme solutions respectively, and then the nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction is carried out in the microfluidic pump of the present invention. The preparation method and concentration of the nucleic acid solution and enzyme solution depend on the specific usage.
[0057] Among them, the control of the two microfluidic pumps does not interfere with each other. The same voltage can be applied at the same time to achieve the synchronous inflow and outflow of two reactants. Opposite voltages (opposite amplitudes, same frequency) can be applied separately to achieve one microfluidic pump flowing in one reactant while the other microfluidic pump flows out another reactant. Different voltages can also be applied separately to control different flow rates.
[0058] In actual use, when there are other types of reactants in addition to nucleic acids and enzymes, the microfluidic pump can also be equipped with more microfluidic pumps to flow in and out other types of reactants (that is, each microfluidic pump is responsible for the inflow and outflow of one reactant), and finally all flow into the isothermal reaction chamber 7, in which the nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction is carried out; the specific number of microfluidic pumps depends on the specific usage requirements.
[0059] The method for using the microfluidic pump comprises the following steps:
[0060] S1, turning on the driving circuit, adjusting the voltage, applying an alternating signal voltage to the two piezoelectric ceramic sheets 2, so that the two piezoelectric ceramic sheets 2 vibrate up and down so that the two liquid containing chambers 1 are in a contracted or expanded state;
[0061] S2. Prepare a nucleic acid solution. When the liquid receiving chamber 1 of one of the microfluidic pumps is in an expanded state, the first one-way valve 4 of the microfluidic pump is opened, and the second one-way valve 6 is closed. The nucleic acid solution flows in from the liquid inflow channel 3 of the microfluidic pump, and flows into the liquid receiving chamber 1 of the microfluidic pump through the first one-way valve 4. When the liquid receiving chamber 1 of the microfluidic pump is in a contracted state, the first one-way valve 4 is closed, and the second one-way valve 6 is opened. The nucleic acid solution in the liquid receiving chamber 1 flows out from the second one-way valve 6, and flows into the isothermal reaction chamber 7 through the liquid outflow channel 5.
[0062] S3, preparing an enzyme solution. When the liquid receiving chamber 1 of another microfluidic pump is in an expanded state, the first one-way valve 4 of the microfluidic pump is opened, and the second one-way valve 6 is closed. The enzyme solution flows in from the liquid inflow channel 3 of the microfluidic pump, and flows into the liquid receiving chamber 1 of the microfluidic pump through the first one-way valve 4. When the liquid receiving chamber 1 of the microfluidic pump is in a contracted state, the first one-way valve 4 is closed, and the second one-way valve 6 is opened. The enzyme solution in the liquid receiving chamber 1 flows out from the second one-way valve 6, and flows into the isothermal reaction chamber 7 through the liquid outflow channel 5.
[0063] S4. The nucleic acid solution and the enzyme solution are contacted and mixed in the isothermal reaction chamber 7. The temperature control device in the isothermal reaction chamber 7 is adjusted to control the temperature in the isothermal reaction chamber 7. The temperature measuring device in the isothermal reaction chamber 7 detects the real-time temperature in the isothermal reaction chamber 7, provides suitable reaction conditions, and performs nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction.
[0064] In the above-mentioned usage method, the nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction is a conventional nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction in the art, wherein the flow rates of the two microfluidic pumps, the types of nucleic acids and enzymes, and the ratios are determined according to the specific nucleic acid isothermal amplification reaction; if there are other types of reaction substances, a corresponding number of microfluidic pumps can be added according to the number of specific reaction substances; the time for applying the voltage and the magnitude of the applied voltage are determined according to the specific amount of reaction substances required.
[0065] Example 2
[0066] The microfluidic pump of this embodiment is the same as the microfluidic pump of embodiment 1, and has two microfluidic pumps. The difference is that the two microfluidic pumps share a liquid receiving chamber 1 and a piezoelectric ceramic plate 2. Figure 3 As shown, at this time, only one piezoelectric ceramic sheet 2 is used to realize that the liquid receiving chamber 1 of one microfluidic pump is in an expanded state while the liquid receiving chamber 1 of another microfluidic pump is in a contracted state. Under this structure, the flow rates of the two microfluidic pumps are the same;
[0067] The method of using the microfluidic pump in this embodiment is the same as that in Example 1, except that while the liquid holding chamber 1 of one microfluidic pump is in an expanded state, the liquid holding chamber 1 of the other microfluidic pump is in a contracted state. In this case, the flow rates of the nucleic acid solution and the enzyme solution are the same. This situation is only applicable to nucleic acid isothermal amplification reactions with only two reaction substances, nucleic acid and enzyme.
[0068] It should be understood that parts not elaborated in detail in this specification belong to the prior art.
[0069] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the technical concept of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention can be subjected to a variety of simple modifications, including the combination of various technical features in any other suitable manner, and these simple modifications and combinations should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present invention and belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
