Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of food additive detection technology, and in particular to a microfluidic detection device for food additives. Background Technology
[0002] Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In food, chloramphenicol is an illegal additive and must not be detected in animal-derived foods. Because chloramphenicol can inhibit the hematopoietic function of human bones, causing diseases such as aplastic anemia, its use in food production and processing is strictly prohibited. Amantadine was one of the earliest antiviral drugs used to inhibit influenza viruses, but it is now listed as a prohibited veterinary drug and must not be detected in animal-derived foods. Long-term consumption of animal-derived foods with excessive levels of amantadine may have adverse effects on human health. Sudan I is an industrial dye mainly used to color oils, waxes, and plastics, and is not a food additive. It has potential carcinogenic effects, and its addition to food would pose a serious threat to human health. Therefore, Sudan I is strictly prohibited from use in food production and processing. Current technologies for detecting these food additives mainly rely on large-scale equipment, which is not only time-consuming but also complex to operate, and generally can only detect single substances, making it difficult to meet the needs for rapid and efficient detection.

Initially, the fourth moving valve 201 ensured that each reservoir was uniformly mixed with the third... The mixing channel 202b is isolated. During testing, peristaltic pumps are connected to the third waste tank 202i. The fourth moving valve 201 is moved to simultaneously connect the antigen reservoir 202h and the first antibody reservoir 202g to the third mixing channel 202b. The fourth moving valve 201 stops moving, and the peristaltic pumps are activated, allowing the analyte and excess antibody to enter the third mixing channel 202b for mixing. The analyte then settles in the wave-shaped microchannel 202a on the reaction layer for incubation (37°C for 15 minutes). After incubation, the fourth moving valve 201 is moved to allow the clean reservoir 202h to be isolated. 02f and the third mixing channel 202b are connected. The fourth moving valve 201 stops moving, and PBST in the cleaning reservoir 202f is extracted to clean the reaction layer. After cleaning, the peristaltic pump stops operating. The fourth moving valve 201 is then moved to connect the second antibody reservoir 202e and the third mixing channel 202b. The fourth moving valve 201 stops moving, and the peristaltic pump operates. HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG is extracted into microchannel 202a to react with the antigen. The peristaltic pump is then controlled to keep the antibody stationary in microchannel 202a for incubation (10 minutes at room temperature). A second incubation is then performed. Afterwards, the peristaltic pump stops operating, and the fourth moving valve 201 is moved to connect the cleaning reservoir 202f and the third mixing channel 202b. The fourth moving valve 201 stops moving, and PBST in the cleaning reservoir 202f is extracted to clean the reaction layer. The peristaltic pump stops operating, and the cleaning is completed. The fourth moving valve 201 is then moved to connect the luminescent substrate reservoir 202d and the third mixing channel 202b. The peristaltic pump operates, and the chemiluminescent substrate is pumped out, generating a chemiluminescent signal (dot matrix) (nine light spots) on the reaction layer (microchannel 202a) to achieve the detection of three hazardous substances.
[0053] In this application, different competing antigens are arranged and fixed on the silicone membrane sandwiched in the second microfluidic chip 200, and the spatial resolution acquisition of chemiluminescence signals is combined to achieve simultaneous detection of three hazardous substances. A single detection can output three sets of independent quantitative data.
[0054] Specifically, the first moving valve 105 includes a first moving transmission part 105a outside the first lower chip body 101. A first moving part 105b, which is inserted into the first moving channel 101e, is fixed on the first moving transmission part 105a. A plurality of first liquid storage pools 101d are arranged with corresponding outlet holes 105b-1. There are three first liquid storage pools 101d. When one end of two outlet holes 105b-1 is connected to two of the first liquid storage pools 101d, the other end of the two outlet holes 105b-1 is connected to the first mixing channel 101i. When one end of one of the three outlet holes 105b-1 is connected to another, the other end of the two outlet holes 105b-1 is connected to the first mixing channel 101i. When the end is connected to the three first liquid storage tanks 101d one by one, the other ends of two of the liquid outlet holes 105b-1 are connected to the first mixing channel 101i, and the other end of the other liquid outlet hole 105b-1 is connected to the first end of the second mixing channel 101g; the second moving valve 104 includes a second moving transmission part 104a outside the first lower chip body 101, and a second moving part 104b that is just inserted into the second moving channel 101f is fixed on the second moving transmission part 104a. The second moving part 104b has a first connecting mixing liquid hole 104b-1 and a second connecting mixing liquid hole, and one end of the first connecting mixing liquid hole 104b-1 is connected to the first mixing liquid hole 104b-1. When connected to the end of the first mixing channel 101i, the other end of the first connecting mixing liquid hole 104b-1 is connected to the first waste liquid pool 101b. The second connecting mixing liquid hole is offset from any mixing channel or waste liquid pool. When one end of the second connecting mixing liquid hole is connected to the end of the first mixing channel 101i, the other end of the second connecting mixing liquid hole is connected to the second mixing channel 101g. The third moving valve 103 includes a third moving transmission part 103a outside the first lower chip body 101. A third moving part 103b is fixed on the third moving transmission part 103a and is inserted into the third moving channel 101h. The device has a first waste liquid connection hole 103b-1 and a second waste liquid connection hole 103b-2. When the two ends of the first waste liquid connection hole 103b-1 are connected to the first mixing channel 101i and the first waste liquid pool 101b respectively, the two ends of the second waste liquid connection hole 103b-2 are staggered from the second mixing channel 101g and the second waste liquid pool 203b101a respectively. When the two ends of the second waste liquid connection hole 103b-2 are connected to the second mixing channel 101g and the second waste liquid pool 203b101a respectively, the two ends of the first waste liquid connection hole 103b-1 are staggered from the second mixing channel 101g and the second waste liquid pool 203b101a respectively.
[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The three first storage tanks 101d are respectively filled with a mixed solution of nitrite and hydrochloric acid, a potassium ferrocyanide solution (colorless), and a mixed solution of uric acid, luminol, and sodium hydroxide. The first stage detection process is as follows: the first moving valve 105, the second moving valve 104, and the third moving valve 103 are moved. The movement of the first moving valve 105 connects the two left storage tanks and the first mixing channel 101i. When the first moving valve 105 stops moving, the mixed solution of nitrite and hydrochloric acid and the potassium ferrocyanide solution enter the first mixing channel 101i. A mixing reaction occurs within the mixing channel 101i, where nitrite oxidizes potassium ferrocyanide to potassium ferricyanide. The solution changes from colorless before mixing to yellow. Movement of the second moving valve 104 and the third moving valve 103 connects the first mixing channel 101i to the beginning of the connecting channel 101c and the end of the connecting channel 101c to the first waste liquid tank 101b. The second moving valve 104 and the third moving valve 103 then stop moving, and the reacted solution enters the first waste liquid tank 101b. The change in yellow color reflects the nitrite's reaction. Preliminary testing to determine the presence of nitrite; the second stage of testing begins, and the process is as follows: The first moving valve 105, the second moving valve 104, and the third moving valve 103 are moved, connecting the two first storage tanks 101d on the left and the first mixing channel 101i, and connecting the first outlet tank and the second mixing channel 101g on the right. The second moving valve 104 connects the end of the first mixing channel 101i with the second mixing channel 101g, and the end of the second mixing channel 101g with the second waste tank 2. When 03b101a is connected, the first moving valve 105 stops moving, the second moving valve 104 stops moving, and the third moving valve 103 stops moving, so that the potassium ferricyanide generated after the reaction in the two first liquid storage tanks 101d on the left mixes with the solution in the first liquid storage tank 101d on the far right. Under the enhanced effect of uric acid, potassium ferricyanide oxidizes luminol to produce chemiluminescence, thereby indirectly determining nitrite. The first microfluidic chip 100 realizes two methods to determine nitrite, improving the reliability of nitrite detection.
[0056] When using the first microfluidic chip 100 for detection, the following two methods are employed:
[0057] First, the colorimetric method: based on the redox reaction of nitrite and potassium ferrocyanide in an acidic medium (producing yellow potassium ferrocyanide), quantitative analysis is performed by changing the color of the solution (absorbance). Its advantages are its intuitiveness and rapid qualitative judgment.
[0058] Second, chemiluminescence method: chemiluminescence is generated by potassium ferricyanide and luminol under the enhancement effect of uric acid. The intensity of the light signal is used for quantification. Its advantages are ultra-high sensitivity and resistance to background interference.
[0059] Complementary effects: Colorimetric methods provide preliminary qualitative results (such as color mutations indicating exceeding the standard), while chemiluminescence methods provide precise quantification. The combination of the two covers the entire process from "coarse screening" to "precise testing".
[0060] The above method achieves cross-validation of nitrite concentration through dual-modal detection of colorimetric reaction (change in yellowness of solution) and chemiluminescence signal, greatly improving the accuracy of detection. The potassium ferrocyanide reaction zone and luminol luminescence reaction zone are integrated in the microchannel, and the spatiotemporal separation of the two-stage reaction is achieved by valve control to avoid mutual interference of reactants.

[0068] To further achieve the clamping of the first microfluidic chip 100 and the second microfluidic chip 200, two sets of horizontally movable clamping assemblies 900 are also included, each used to clamp the first microfluidic chip 100 and the second microfluidic chip 200 respectively.

The direction of action of the clamping motor 901 is controlled so that the movable clamping plate 909 moves in the direction of the first microfluidic chip 100. When the movable clamping plate 909 touches the front side of the first microfluidic chip 100, the clamping motor 901 stops, thus achieving the clamping and fixing of the first microfluidic chip 100.
[0070] The clamping and fixing process of the second microfluidic chip 200 is similar to that of the first microfluidic chip 100, and will not be described in detail here.
[0071] Specifically, the first moving transmission part 105a has a first insertion hole 105a-1, the second moving transmission part 104a has a second insertion hole 104a-1, and the third moving transmission part 103a has a third insertion hole 103a-1. The first injection assembly 600 also includes a first upper connecting plate 612, which is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting bracket 601 in the front-rear direction. A plurality of first guide rods 611 are arranged on the first upper connecting plate 612, and the lower side of the first guide rods 611... A first lower connecting plate 610 is fixedly connected. A first drive motor is fixedly connected to the upper side of a first upper connecting plate 612.

A first guide seat 609, which slides along a first guide rod 611, is threaded onto the first drive screw 613. A first moving screw 618, a second moving screw 619, and a third moving screw 620 are rotatably connected to the first guide seat 609. A first movable seat 623, which is slidably connected to a first guide seat 609, is threaded onto the second movable screw 619. A first movable rod 617, which can be inserted into a first insertion hole 105a-1, is fixedly connected to the lower side of the first movable seat 623. A second movable seat 622, which can be inserted into a second insertion hole 104a-1, is threaded onto the second movable screw 619. A second movable seat 622, which is slidably connected to a second guide seat 607, is threaded onto the lower side of the second movable seat 622. A second movable rod 616, which can be inserted into a second insertion hole 104a-1, is fixedly connected to the lower side of the second movable seat 622. A third movable screw 620, which is threaded onto the third movable screw 619, is slidably connected to a first movable seat 622, which is slidably connected to a first guide seat 609. The third movable seat 624 on the three guide seats has a third movable rod 616 fixedly connected to its lower side, which can be inserted into the third insertion hole 103a-1. The first movable motor 608, the second movable motor 614 and the third movable motor 621 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the first guide seat 609. The first movable screw 618 is driven by the first movable motor 608, the second movable screw 619 is driven by the second movable motor 614, and the third movable screw 620 is driven by the third movable motor 621.
[0072] After the first microfluidic chip 100 is clamped and fixed, in the default initial state, each moving rod is aligned with the corresponding insertion hole position. After the first microfluidic chip 100 is clamped and fixed, the position of each moving rod is adjusted so that each moving rod is aligned with the corresponding insertion hole. Then, each moving rod is moved down and inserted into the corresponding insertion hole to realize the preparation work for sample injection control. The specific action process is as follows: the first drive motor is activated, the first drive screw 613 rotates, the first guide seat 609 slides in the height direction, driving the first moving rod 617, the second moving rod 616 and the third moving rod 616 to move, controlling the direction of the first drive motor to move the three moving rods down. After the first moving rod 617, the second moving rod 616, and the third moving rod 616 are respectively inserted into the first insertion hole 105a-1, the second insertion hole 104a-1, and the third insertion hole 103a-1 to set their positions, the first drive motor stops operating. Taking the adjustment of the positions of the first moving valve 105, the second moving valve 104, and the third moving valve 103 as an example to illustrate solution flow control, when it is necessary for one end of two of the outlet holes 105b-1 to be connected to two of the first storage tanks 101d, the first moving motor 608 is activated, the first moving screw 618 rotates, driving the first moving seat 623 to move, which in turn drives the first moving rod 617 to move the first... When the movable valve 105 moves, and one end of each of the two outlet holes 105b-1 connects to the two first storage tanks 101d on the left, the first movable motor 608 stops operating, and the other end of each of the two outlet holes 105b-1 connects to the first mixing channel 101i. The second movable motor 614 is then activated, causing the second movable screw 619 to rotate, which in turn moves the second movable seat 622. This movement, via the second movable rod 616, moves the second movable valve 104. When one end of the first connecting mixing hole 104b-1 connects to the end of the first mixing channel 101i, the second movable motor 614 stops operating, and the other end of the first connecting mixing hole 104b-1 connects to the end of the first mixing channel 101i. When channel 101c is connected, the third moving motor 621 is activated, the third moving screw 620 rotates, driving the third moving seat 624 to move, which in turn drives the third moving valve 103 to move via the third moving rod 616. When the two ends of the first waste liquid connection hole 103b-1 are connected to the connecting channel 101c and the first waste liquid pool 101b respectively, the third moving motor 621 stops operating, realizing the controllable connection between the two first liquid storage pools 101d and the first waste liquid pool 101b on the left. During the second stage of detection, the first moving motor 608 is activated, connecting the three liquid outlet holes 105b-1 and the three first liquid storage pools 101d, and the first moving motor 608 stops operating.The second moving motor 614 is activated, causing the second moving valve 104 to move. When both ends of the second connecting mixing liquid hole are connected to the end of the first mixing channel 101i and the second mixing channel 101g respectively, the second moving motor 614 stops operating. The third moving motor 621 is then activated, causing the third moving valve 103 to move. When both ends of the second connecting waste liquid hole 103b-2 are connected to the end of the second mixing channel 101g and the second waste liquid pool 203b101a respectively, the third moving motor 621 stops operating, thus achieving controllable sample injection for both detection methods.
[0073] Specifically, the fourth moving transmission part 201b has a fourth insertion hole 201b-1. The second injection assembly 700 also includes a second upper connecting plate 710, which is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting bracket 701 in the front-rear direction. A plurality of second guide rods 715 are arranged on the second upper connecting plate 710. A second lower connecting plate 711 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the second guide rods 715. A second drive motor 709 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the second upper connecting plate 710. The second drive motor 709 is connected to a component that is rotatably connected to the second upper connecting plate 710 and the second lower connecting plate 711.

A fourth moving rod 712 that can be inserted into the fourth insertion hole 201b-1 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the fourth moving seat 714.
[0074] After the second microfluidic chip 200 is clamped and fixed, in the default initial state, the fourth moving rod 712 is aligned with the position of the fourth insertion hole 201b-1. After the second microfluidic chip 200 is clamped and fixed, the position of the fourth moving rod 712 is adjusted so that the fourth moving rod 712 is aligned with the fourth insertion hole 201b-1. Then, the fourth moving rod 712 is moved down and inserted into the fourth insertion hole 201b-1 to realize the preparation work for sample injection control. The specific action process is as follows: the second drive motor 709 is activated, the second drive screw rotates, and the second drive screw drives the second guide seat 707 to move in the height direction. 07 drives the fourth moving rod 712 to move, controlling the direction of the second drive motor 709, causing the second guide seat 707 to move downwards. When the fourth moving rod 712 is inserted into the fourth moving transmission part 201b through the fourth insertion hole 201b-1, the second drive motor 709 stops operating. During detection, the fourth moving motor 708 operates, the fourth moving screw 713 rotates, driving the fourth moving seat 714 to move horizontally, which in turn drives the fourth moving valve 201 to move via the fourth moving rod 712. When one end of each of the two first liquid passage holes 201a-1 is connected to the antigen storage tank 202h and the first antibody storage tank 202g respectively, the fourth moving... When motor 708 stops operating and the antigen-antibody mixing reaction is complete, the fourth moving motor 708 is activated. When both ends of the second liquid inlet 201a-2 are connected to the cleaning reservoir 202f and the beginning of the third mixing channel 202b respectively, the fourth moving motor 708 stops operating. PBST is extracted from the cleaning reservoir 202f to clean the reaction layer. After cleaning, the fourth moving motor 708 is activated, and the fourth moving valve 201 moves. When both ends of the second liquid inlet 201a-2 are connected to the second antibody reservoir 202e and the beginning of the third mixing channel 202b respectively, the fourth moving motor 708 stops operating. After incubation, the fourth moving motor 708 is activated. When the two ends of the second liquid passage 201a-2 are connected to the cleaning reservoir 202f and the first end of the third mixing channel 202b respectively, the fourth moving motor 708 stops. PBST is extracted from the cleaning reservoir 202f to clean the reaction layer. After cleaning, the fourth moving motor 708 is activated, and the fourth moving valve 201 moves. When the two ends of the second liquid passage 201a-2 are connected to the luminescent substrate reservoir 202d and the third mixing channel 202b respectively, the fourth moving motor 708 stops, realizing the controllable flow injection of the analyte and the detection solution.
[0075] When the solution reaction inside the microfluidic chip is complete and the content of the analyte needs to be detected, the clamping moving motor is controlled to move, the clamping moving screw 908 rotates, and the clamping moving screw 908 drives the clamping support 907 to slide left and right along the clamping base plate 906. The clamping support 907 drives the corresponding microfluidic chip to move via the clamping support plate 905. When the waste liquid pool moves to the bottom of the corresponding detection camera, the clamping moving motor stops moving.
[0076] The fixing plate 905a corresponding to the first microfluidic chip 100 and the fixing plate 905a corresponding to the second microfluidic chip 200 are respectively referred to as the first fixing plate 905a and the second fixing plate 905a. The first fixing plate 905a has three first guide holes 905a-2 that correspond one-to-one with the first moving transmission part 105a, the second moving transmission part 104a and the third moving transmission part 103a. The first moving transmission part 105a, the second moving transmission part 104a and the third moving transmission part 103a are slidably connected to the first fixing plate 905a through the first guide holes 905a-2.
