Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cell detection technology, and in particular to a prepackaged microfluidic chip and a cell detection device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the application of cell detection in various industries has become more and more extensive, especially in food safety, medical diagnosis and scientific research, the importance of cell detection has become increasingly prominent. Somatic cell and bacterial detection in the food industry, body fluid cell detection in the medical field, and cell detection of culture fluid in scientific research experiments have become key links. These tests often rely on highly sensitive and specific technical means, such as flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy and PCR technology, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Effective cell detection can help quickly assess health status, diagnose diseases, ensure food quality, and promote the progress of scientific research.

[0003] Among the related technologies, commonly used cell detection methods include flow cytometry, microscope counting, and PCR detection. Flow cytometry is one of the most widely used technologies for quantitative cell analysis. It uses laser beams to stimulate markers on cells to achieve high-precision cell counting and classification. The microscope counting method calculates the number of cells by manually observing the sample. It is simple to operate but has high accuracy and is suitable for small-scale cell detection. PCR technology indirectly reflects the number and type of cells by amplifying specific genes.

[0004] However, in related technologies, flow cytometry equipment is expensive and requires professional operators, and the reagents are often toxic, which limits the application of rapid response. Although microscope counting is accurate, it relies on manual operation, is inefficient, and has a long detection cycle when the sample size is large.

[0060] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a prepackaged microfluidic chip in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The prepackaged microfluidic chip 10 includes a chip body 110 and a flow chamber 120 , and the flow chamber 120 is disposed on the chip body 110 .

[0061] The chip body 110 is provided with a supporting column and a photoelectric detection channel 150 , and the photoelectric detection channel 150 is provided with an exhaust port 151 .

[0062] The circulation chamber 120 includes a storage chamber 130 and a mixing chamber 140. The storage chamber 130 is provided with a sample addition port 121, and freeze-dried powder is stored in the storage chamber 130, and an obstacle column is provided in the mixing chamber 140. The freeze-dried powder includes a lysate and ATPase. The mixing chamber 140 is respectively connected to the photoelectric detection channel 150 of the storage chamber 130, and the storage chamber 130 abuts against the support column.

[0063] When the prepackaged microfluidic chip 10 is placed in the detection device, the liquid to be tested is introduced into the storage chamber 130 through the sample injection port 121 of the circulation chamber 120. The lyophilized powder pre-added in the storage chamber 130 will dissolve rapidly after contacting the liquid to be tested, thereby forming a mixed liquid to be tested. In one embodiment, the liquid to be tested includes but is not limited to milk, body fluid and cell culture fluid.

[0064] After the dissolution is completed in the storage chamber 130, the mixed liquid to be tested is guided into the mixing chamber 140. At this time, the microstructure and design in the microfluidic chip ensure that the liquid is fully mixed during the flow process, avoiding uneven distribution of sample components. And the obstacle column can effectively break the cells in the process of liquid flow. The cell breaking process helps to release the components inside the cell, so that the target analyte (such as DNA, protein, ATP, metabolites, etc.) can be released into the solution, which is convenient for subsequent photoelectric detection.

[0065] Eight test points are randomly selected on the photoelectric detection channel 150 and sampled, and then an average value of the eight sample points is calculated, and then the ATP level in the sample is obtained by comparing with the calibration value.

[0066] In the above-mentioned prepackaged microfluidic chip 10, the sample to be tested, i.e., the liquid to be tested, is added from the sample addition port 121 of the storage chamber 130 in the flow chamber 120. After the liquid to be tested enters the storage chamber 130, the stored freeze-dried powder is dissolved to obtain a mixed liquid to be tested. By operating the prepackaged microfluidic chip 10, the mixed liquid to be tested flows through the mixing chamber 140 to enter the photoelectric detection channel 150. While the mixed liquid to be tested flows through the mixing chamber 140, the obstacle column in the mixing chamber 140 breaks the cells in the mixed liquid to be tested, so that the sample to be tested and the dissolved freeze-dried powder are fully mixed to improve the lysis effect, and the sample to be tested can be quickly detected.

[0067] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 Shows Figure 1The schematic diagram of the structure of the mixing chamber 140 is shown in FIG. 1 . The mixing chamber 140 includes a mixing chamber 141 and a circulation channel 142 . The mixing chamber 141 is communicated with the storage chamber 130 , and the mixing chamber 141 is connected with the photoelectric detection channel 150 through the circulation channel 142 .

[0068] The obstacle column comprises a first obstacle column 143 . The first obstacle column 143 is disposed in the mixing chamber 141 . The cross section of the first obstacle column 143 is olive-shaped.

[0069] In the process of the mixed liquid to be tested being guided into the mixing chamber 140, the mixed liquid to be tested flows through the mixing chamber 141, and the flow of the mixed liquid to be tested is disturbed by the first obstacle column 143 in the mixing chamber 141 to increase the flow resistance, thereby strengthening the interaction between the liquid and the inner wall of the chip, that is, the flow velocity change and local turbulence of the mixed liquid to be tested when flowing through the obstacle column improve the mixing efficiency of the mixed liquid to be tested, so that the components of the mixed liquid to be tested can be fully mixed in a short time.

[0070] Continue reading Figure 2 The obstacle column further includes a second obstacle column 144 . The second obstacle column 144 is disposed in the flow channel 142 . The cross section of the second obstacle column 144 is in the shape of a water drop. The tip of the second obstacle column 144 faces the mixing chamber 141 .

[0071] As the mixed liquid to be tested continues to flow, the mixed liquid to be tested enters the circulation channel 142. The cross section of the second obstacle column 144 in the circulation channel 142 is in the shape of a water drop, and its tip faces the mixing chamber 141, forming a local obstacle in the flow. Therefore, the second obstacle column 144 further breaks the cells in the mixed liquid to be tested, and the water drop-shaped second obstacle column 144 optimizes the flow pattern of the mixed liquid to be tested, ensuring that the cell breaking is more uniform and effective.

[0072] Continue reading Figure 1 If a flow chamber 120 is provided on the prepackaged microfluidic chip 10, the prepackaged microfluidic chip 10 further includes a counterweight 160, which is disposed on the chip body 110 and is disposed on the other side of the support column relative to the flow chamber 120. The center of gravity of the prepackaged microfluidic chip 10 is adjusted to the center by the counterweight 160.

[0073] If at least two flow chambers 120 are disposed on the prepackaged microfluidic chip 10 , the plurality of flow chambers 120 are evenly spaced and distributed on the chip body 110 , so as to adjust the center of gravity of the prepackaged microfluidic chip 10 to the center.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, the present application provides a prepackaged microfluidic chip 10 , which includes a chip body 110 and a flow chamber 120 , wherein the flow chamber 120 is disposed on the chip body 110 .

[0075] The chip body 110 is provided with a supporting column, a photoelectric detection channel 150 and a counterweight 160 , and the photoelectric detection channel 150 is provided with an exhaust port 151 .

[0076] The circulation chamber 120 includes a storage chamber 130 and a mixing chamber 140. The storage chamber 130 is provided with a sample addition port 121, and freeze-dried powder is stored in the storage chamber 130. The freeze-dried powder includes a lysate and ATPase. The mixing chamber 140 is communicated with the photoelectric detection channel 150 of the storage chamber 130, respectively, and the storage chamber 130 abuts against the support column. The counterweight 160 is placed on the chip body 110, and the counterweight 160 is placed on the other side of the support column relative to the circulation chamber 120.

[0077] The mixing chamber 140 includes a mixing chamber 141 and a circulation channel 142. An obstacle column is arranged in the mixing chamber 140. The mixing chamber 141 is communicated with the storage chamber 130, and the mixing chamber 141 is connected with the photoelectric detection channel 150 through the circulation channel 142. The obstacle column includes a first obstacle column 143 and a second obstacle column 144. The first obstacle column 143 is arranged in the mixing chamber 141, and the second obstacle column 144 is arranged in the circulation channel 142. The cross section of the first obstacle column 143 is olive-shaped, and the cross section of the second obstacle column 144 is drop-shaped, and the tip of the second obstacle column 144 faces the mixing chamber 141.

[0078] The liquid to be tested enters the storage chamber 130 through the sample addition port 121 of the circulation chamber 120, and dissolves rapidly after contacting the pre-added lyophilized powder to form a mixed liquid to be tested. At this time, the lyophilized powder dissolution reaction in the storage chamber 130 provides sufficient reaction power, so that the required components (such as DNA, protein, etc.) in the liquid to be tested can be released, preparing for subsequent testing.

[0079] After the mixed liquid to be tested enters the mixing chamber 140, the design inside the microfluidic chip ensures that the liquid is fully mixed. The first obstacle column 143 in the mixing chamber 141 disturbs the flow of the liquid and increases the flow resistance. In this process, the change in liquid flow rate and the formation of local turbulence effectively improve the mixing efficiency, so that the components can be quickly and evenly mixed.

[0080] As the mixed liquid to be tested continues to flow, the design of the second obstacle column 144 further optimizes the cell disruption process. The obstacle column is in the shape of a water droplet, with the tip facing the mixing chamber 141, forming a local flow barrier and enhancing the uniformity of the liquid flow. Afterwards, the mixed liquid to be tested flows into the photoelectric detection channel 150.

[0081] Eight test points are randomly selected on the photoelectric detection channel 150 and sampled, and then an average value of the eight sample points is calculated, and then the ATP level in the sample is obtained by comparing with the calibration value.

[0082] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a cell detection device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0083] After the sample to be tested is added to the prepackaged microfluidic chip 10 through the sample addition port 121, the sample to be tested contacts the pre-added freeze-dried powder and dissolves rapidly to form a mixed liquid to be tested. The prepackaged microfluidic chip 10 with the added sample is placed on the carrier module 40, and the carrier module 40 is operated by operating the control component 30, so that the mixed liquid to be tested flows from the storage chamber 130 through the mixing chamber 140. The obstacle column in the mixing chamber disturbs the flow of the liquid, enhances the mixing efficiency, and optimizes the cell disruption process. After that, the mixed liquid to be tested enters the photoelectric detection channel 150, and then the photoelectric detection module 50 detects the mixed liquid to be tested in the photoelectric detection channel 150, and by randomly sampling multiple test points and calculating the average value, the ATP level in the sample is measured in combination with the calibration value, and the detection result is transmitted to the control component 30.

[0084] Continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 The control component 30 includes a main control board 310, a touch screen 320 and a power supply 330.
