Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of biomedical engineering, and in particular to an integrated microfluidic chip. Background Art
[0002] Nucleic acid is the general term for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). It is a biological macromolecular compound formed by the polymerization of many nucleotide monomers and is one of the most basic substances of life. Nucleic acid is a class of biological polymers, an indispensable component of all known life forms, the most important substance among all biological molecules, and widely present in all animal and plant cells and microorganisms. Nucleic acid is composed of nucleotides, and nucleotide monomers are composed of pentose, phosphate group and nitrogenous base. If the pentose is ribose, the polymer formed is RNA; if the pentose is deoxyribose, the polymer formed is DNA.
[0003] Methylation refers to the process of catalytically transferring methyl groups from active methyl compounds to other compounds, which can form various methyl compounds, or chemically modify certain proteins or nucleic acids to form methylated products. In biological systems, methylation is catalyzed by enzymes, which involves heavy metal modification, regulation of gene expression, regulation of protein function, and RNA processing.
[0004] DNA methylation in vertebrates generally occurs at CpG sites (cytosine-phosphate-guanine sites, i.e., sites in the DNA sequence where guanine is immediately following cytosine). Cytosine is converted to 5-methylcytosine by DNA methyltransferase. About 80%-90% of CpG sites in human genes are methylated, but in certain specific areas, such as CpG islands rich in cytosine and guanine, they are not methylated. This is related to promoters in 56% of mammalian genes, including all widely expressed genes. 1%-2% of the human genome is CpG clusters, and CpG methylation is inversely proportional to transcriptional activity.
[0005] Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular biology technique used to amplify specific DNA fragments. It can be regarded as a special DNA replication outside the body. The biggest feature of PCR is that it can greatly increase trace amounts of DNA. Therefore, whether it is ancient organisms in fossils, the remains of historical figures, or the hair, skin or blood left by the murderer in a homicide case decades ago, as long as a little bit of DNA can be separated, it can be amplified and compared using PCR. This is also the power of "trace evidence". PCR uses the fact that DNA denatures at a high temperature of 95°C in vitro to become a single strand. At low temperatures (usually around 60°C), primers and single strands combine according to the principle of complementary base pairing. The temperature is then adjusted to the optimal reaction temperature of DNA polymerase (around 72°C), and DNA polymerase synthesizes complementary chains along the direction from phosphate to pentose (5'-3'). The PCR instrument manufactured based on polymerase is actually a temperature control device that can well control the denaturation temperature, renaturation temperature, and extension temperature.
[0006] At present, there are three main methods for nucleic acid extraction and amplification: 1) Manual experimental scheme, in which the experimenter uses pipettes, constant temperature oscillators, mixers and other equipment in a specific experimental environment, and extracts DNA from the sample according to the use requirements of the reagent instructions, methylates and purifies it, and finally performs PCR amplification; however, the experimental process of this scheme is complicated, the experimental time is long, and the experimental efficiency is low; there are many types of small equipment used in the experiment; and there are extremely high requirements for the laboratory environment; 2) Semi-automatic equipment experimental scheme, in which the experimenter uses a pipette to add reagents to the equipment consumables according to the equipment use requirements in a specific experimental environment, and then runs the semi-automatic equipment to perform nucleic acid extraction and methylation conversion experiments. After the experiment is completed, the experimenter manually transfers the DNA and performs PCR amplification on the PCR instrument. However, this scheme requires manual supervision and manual sample addition during the experiment; it has extremely high requirements for the laboratory environment; 3) Fully automatic equipment experimental scheme, in which the experimenter directly operates the automated equipment, and the equipment automatically completes nucleic acid extraction, methylation conversion and PCR amplification. The equipment of this scheme occupies a large area and is expensive; the equipment development is difficult. Summary of the invention

[0150] Further, at least two of the first through holes are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the slide cover 1. In some embodiments, the first through holes are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the slide cover 1, and adjacent first through holes are arranged at equal intervals. The interval can match the accommodating cavity of the chip body, and the interval is consistent with the distance between the accommodating cavities, so that the chip is easy to adapt to the device.
[0151] Furthermore, the number of the cylindrical channels 3 is equal to the number of the first through holes, and the inner diameter of the cylindrical channel 3 is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the first through hole.

[0164] The mounting plate 6 is in the shape of an arc-shaped plate with right-angled sides and is used to cooperate with the device to move the slide cover 1 so that the experimenter can grab the chip.
[0165] The lengths of the right-angled sides of the mounting plate 6 are L1 and L2 respectively, L1 is the length of the side in contact with the sliding cover 1 , and L2 is the length of the side in contact with the cylindrical channel 3 .
