Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microfluidic technology, in particular to a three-dimensional paper-based rotating microfluidic device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, food safety has become a major concern and a major concern for people's well-being. Edible oil, a necessity, has seen increasing demand year after year. Currently, China's edible oil consumption ranks first globally, making it crucial to ensure the safety and quality of edible oil. Edible oil is susceptible to contamination and deterioration during production and cooking. Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a potent carcinogen, is easily produced during this process. It can accumulate in the human body over long periods of time, leading to death and seriously impacting people's health and safety. Commonly used methods for detecting BaP include high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, and Raman scattering (SERS). These traditional methods often require expensive equipment, complex and time-consuming detection steps, and consume large amounts of chemical reagents. Therefore, developing novel detection methods to overcome these shortcomings is a hot topic and a challenge in current research.

[0003] Microfluidics paper-based analytical devices (μPADs). In 2007, Martinez et al. first proposed a paper-based microfluidic chip. They prepared closed hydrophobic boundaries on paper to form microfluidic channels, and used capillary action to transport samples to the detection area for reaction with the substrate. Subsequently, they prepared the first 3D paper chip for rapid detection of target analytes. Paper as a substrate material has many advantages: (1) Paper is widely available and low cost; (2) It is light and thin, making it easy to store and transport; (3) Paper is easy to process and modify, and operations such as printing, coating, modification, and cutting are very convenient; (4) Paper is biodegradable and environmentally friendly; (5) It has a certain mechanical strength and can be formed into a support structure with multi-layer channels through shaping and stacking; (6) The capillary effect of paper allows liquid to flow automatically without the need for external pumps, which also avoids the bubble problem common in traditional microfluidic systems.

[0004] Therefore, the research on paper-based microfluidic analytical devices (μPADs) in the field of food testing is increasing. They have the potential to become a replacement for traditional microfluidic chips in applications such as food quality monitoring.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] This embodiment provides a three-dimensional paper-based rotating microfluidic device, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a three-dimensional paper-based rotating microfluidic device is used in conjunction with an external Raman spectrometer.

[0049] Preferably, the injection hole 12 is a fan-shaped injection hole 12 symmetrically arranged along the first axial hole 13, and the adsorption block 14 is a circular adsorption block 14 symmetrically arranged along the first axial hole 13 of salt; the sample receiving groove 23 is a circular sample receiving hole, the sample flow groove 24 is a rectangular sample flow groove 24, and the sample separation and enrichment hole 25 is a circular sample separation and enrichment hole 25; the sample receiving groove 23 and the sample analysis block 32 are hydrophilic areas; the edge dimensions of the sample analysis block 32 and the adsorption block 14 are the same.

[0050] Furthermore, the second axial hole 22 is provided at the center of the second functional layer 2 ; the size of the sample receiving groove 23 is smaller than that of the injection hole 12 ; and the paper-based carrier sheet is in the shape of a thin long strip.

[0051] Furthermore, the sample flow channel 24 is provided on a side of the sample receiving channel 23 away from the second axial hole 22; the sample separation and enrichment hole 25 is provided on a side of the sample flow channel 24 away from the second axial hole 22;

[0053] The lower surface of the second functional layer 2 is provided with a concentric groove 26 that allows relative movement with the sample analysis block 32 .

[0054] Furthermore, the width of the concentric groove 26 is the maximum outer diameter of the sample separation and enrichment hole 25 .

[0060] The three-dimensional paper-based rotating microfluidic device provided in this embodiment can be prepared by the following method:

[0061] (1) Preparation of the first functional layer 1: The first functional layer 1 is obtained by instrument printing. Adsorption paper with different adsorption properties is selected as needed, cut and placed on the lower surface of the adsorption block 14;

[0062] (2) Preparation of the second functional layer 2: The second functional layer 2 (including the cross-arranged paper-based support sheet) is obtained by instrument printing. Whatman filter papers of different pore sizes are selected as needed, cut and placed on the sample receiving slot 23, the sample flow slot 24, and the upper surface of the paper-based support sheet;

[0065] For example: the sample separation and enrichment hole 25 is intended to place a cellulose filter paper preloaded with a molecular imprinting polymer of the target molecule to be detected, and the imprinted polymer cellulose filter paper can specifically capture molecules that match the target molecule in terms of molecular shape, size and functional groups. Among them, the cellulose filter paper preloaded with the imprinted polymer of the target molecule to be detected uses the target molecule as a "mold" to form a three-dimensional structure and functional groups complementary to it in the polymer through chemical or physical means, and then removes the template molecule through physical or chemical methods (such as elution), leaving a hole that matches the shape, size and functional groups of the template molecule. The "hole" mentioned can specifically capture molecules that match the hole, and other molecules are separated, thereby achieving the effect of specific separation and enrichment.

[0066] For example, a cellulose filter paper modified with a signal-enhancing substrate (e.g., Raman signal) is placed in the sample analysis area on the front of the third functional layer 3. The pre-loaded signal-enhancing substrate on the cellulose filter paper can significantly enhance the signal intensity (Raman signal) of the target molecule. This signal can be used by a portable Raman spectrometer to illuminate the sample analysis area of ​​the third functional layer 3 with laser light to quickly obtain molecular vibration information, thereby enabling qualitative and quantitative analysis of the substance.

[0068] This embodiment provides a method for using the three-dimensional paper-based rotating microfluidic device described in Example 1, which is specifically as follows:

[0069] The second functional layer of whatman filter paper was prepared by the following method:

[0070] 0.1 mM BaP (acetonitrile: methanol = 3: 1 (V: V)), pyrene, and anthracene were used as template molecules and mixed with dopamine solution (1: 10, V: V) (buffered in 10 mM Tris-HCl with a pH of 8.5) and stirred at constant temperature for 10 min to obtain a prepolymer solution, which was kept away from light throughout the process; finally, the pretreated Whatman filter paper was immersed in the prepolymer solution and completely soaked, and then ammonium persulfate (APS) was added to a final concentration of 1 mM, sealed and stirred at room temperature in the dark for 12 h, and then the filter paper was removed, rinsed three times with deionized water, and vacuum dried again for 2 h; finally, the eluent (V 甲苯 :V 甲醇 =8:2) The plates were removed until they were no longer detected by UV-vis, resulting in Whatman / PDA-MIP with the template molecule removed.

[0071] The third functional layer of whatman filter paper was prepared by the following method:

[0072] 90 mg of silver nitrate was dissolved in 500 mL of water and boiled. 10 mL of 1% sodium citrate solution was added and the mixture was boiled for 1 h. 20 μL of 0.1 M KCl aqueous solution was then added to 1000 mL of the AgNPs suspension to activate the AgNPs surface. 10 μL of Viologens was then added to a final concentration of 1 × 10 -4 M, and then the solution was thoroughly mixed by ultrasonication, and the previously pretreated Whatman filter paper was immersed in the solution for 1 h. The filter paper was taken out, rinsed with deionized water three times, and vacuum dried for 2 h to obtain Whatman / AgNPs-Viologens.

[0073] The pretreated Whatman filter paper was prepared by the following method:

[0074] First, Whatman filter paper was cut into circles of the required size (r = 0.5 cm) and immersed in anhydrous ethanol for 20 min of ultrasonic cleaning to remove surface impurities. The filter paper was then removed, rinsed three times with deionized water, and dried in a vacuum drying oven at 60°C for 2 h. The dried filter paper was then immersed in 0.1 M NaOH solution and allowed to stand for 5 min. The filter paper was then removed and rinsed with deionized water until neutral (pH test paper detection), then vacuum dried again at 60°C for 1 hour, and stored in a desiccator for later use.

[0075] When used, the liquid sample (concentration of 1×10 -4 g / ml, 1×10 -5 g / ml, 1×10 -6 g / ml, 1×10 -7 g / ml, 1×10 -8 g / ml, 1×10 -9 g / ml, 1×10 -10 g / ml, 1×10 -11 g / ml, 1×10 -12 g / ml, 1×10 -13 g / ml, 1×10 -14 g / ml, 1×10 -15 g / ml, 1×10 -16 g / ml B[a]P solution) is added from the injection hole 12, and the liquid sample enters the sample receiving tank 23 through the injection hole 12, and then enters the sample separation and enrichment well 25 through the sample flow tank 24. After the enrichment of the sample separation and enrichment well 25 is completed, the adsorption block 14 is rotated to the corresponding sample separation and enrichment well 25 by a rotation operation so that the adsorption block 14 and the sample separation and enrichment well 25 are closely fitted to adsorb the enriched impurities, and then the adsorption block 14 is removed by a rotation operation; then the sample separation and enrichment well 25 is rotated to the upper surface of the corresponding sample analysis block 32 by a rotation operation so that the sample analysis block 32 and the sample separation and enrichment well 25 are closely fitted, and finally the sample substance analysis of the sample analysis block 32 is performed using an external portable Raman spectrometer (such as Figure 7 shown).
