Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cell culture, in particular to an array type cell culture chip structure. Background Art

[0002] The skin is the largest organ in the human body, in direct contact with the external environment, and has functions such as protection, sensation, excretion, respiration and secretion. Protecting the health of the skin is extremely important for maintaining human homeostasis. In the past, basic research on the skin mainly relied on animal experiments.

[0003] There are species differences between animals and humans, and they cannot reflect the real situation of the human body very well. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a highly bionic skin model that can be used for skin research.

[0004] Currently, the most common in vitro cell culture relies on a two-dimensional cell culture system, usually a monolayer of epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts. Although these models provide a rapid and reproducible system to evaluate the effects of cosmetics, they are not very good at predicting the complex reactions that occur in vivo. Three-dimensional cell culture models improve the biomimetic level of existing models, which can be assembled into complex structures to simulate more physiologically relevant conditions. With the development of microfluidics, microfabrication, tissue engineering and other technologies, organ chips have become one of the best tools for large-scale drug testing. Organ chips simulate the organ functions in the human body in vitro, have a high degree of biomimetic and precisely controllable microenvironment, and significantly improve the ability to predict drug responses.

[0005] Current skin chips still have limitations: First, existing skin chips can only culture a piece of skin tissue, making it difficult to conduct large-scale chemical tests. Second, it is difficult to build a physical and chemical microenvironment close to that in the body. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] like Figure 6-13In the invention, an array cell culture chip structure is provided, comprising a stacked upper plate 1 and a lower plate 5, the upper plate 1 comprising a plurality of culture areas 10 arranged side by side, with spacing between adjacent culture areas 10, each culture area 10 comprising a liquid inlet 101 and a liquid outlet 103 arranged at both ends, a plurality of culture chambers 102 are arranged between the liquid inlet 101 and the liquid outlet 103, the liquid inlet 101, the culture chamber 102 and the liquid outlet 103 are arranged in a straight line, the lower plate 5 comprises a plurality of parallel and spaced connecting grooves 501, each connecting groove 501 is located below each culture area 10, the liquid inlet 101 and the liquid outlet 103 are connected through the connecting groove 501, the lower end of each culture chamber 102 is connected to the connecting groove 501, a plurality of porous membranes 3 are further arranged between the upper plate 1 and the lower plate 5, each porous membrane 3 covers the lower end of each culture chamber 102 in the culture area 10.

[0031] Each culture area 10 can work independently and is equipped with a liquid inlet 101 , a liquid outlet 103 , and a plurality of culture chambers 102 .

[0032] The liquid inlet 101, the connecting groove 501, and the liquid outlet 103 form a U-shaped channel. The culture chamber 102 is located on the line connecting the liquid inlet 101 and the liquid outlet 103 and is located inside the U-shaped structure. Skin or liver tissue can be cultured in different culture chambers 102, or only one tissue can be cultured. The connecting groove 501 simulates blood vessels, and the culture chamber 102 gradually approaches the connecting groove 501 in the depth direction. In other words, the distances between the cells at each height layer in the culture chamber 102 and the connecting groove 501 are different, which simulates the positional relationship between blood vessels and cells more realistically. For some special tissues, such as skin, the liquid level needs to be controlled below the epidermis of the skin to ensure that the epidermis is exposed to the air to form a gas-liquid interface.

[0033] The porous membrane 3 is a microporous structure that can block cell penetration. Under the action of the transport pressure, nutrients penetrate from the bottom end to the top end of the culture chamber 102 through the connecting channel 501, and cell metabolic waste can penetrate from the bottom end of 102 to the bottom end into the channel 501, simulating the material exchange between blood and tissues.

[0034] In the preferred embodiment, the first sealing pad 2 and the second sealing pad 4 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the porous membrane 3, the upper plate 1 and the lower plate 5 are closed and clamped with the first sealing pad 2 and the second sealing pad 4 to clamp the porous membrane 3, the first sealing pad 2 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 202, each second through hole 202 is aligned with each culture chamber 102, the second sealing pad 4 is provided with a through waist groove 401, the first sealing pad 2 and the second sealing pad 4 are also provided with a first through hole 201 and a third through hole 203, the first through hole 201 and the third through hole 203 are respectively aligned with the liquid inlet 101 and the liquid outlet 103.

[0035] A plurality of bolt holes 104 aligned in groups are provided on the upper plate 1, the first sealing gasket 2 and the second sealing gasket 4, and the corresponding positions of the bolt holes 104 on the lower plate 5 are threaded holes. Bolts are inserted from the upper plate 1, through the first sealing gasket 2 and the second sealing gasket 4, and the ends are threadedly connected to the lower plate 5, locking the upper plate 1 to the lower plate 5 to improve the sealing effect.

[0036] In a preferred solution, a sinking groove 402 is provided at the through-waist groove 401 , and the porous membrane 3 is placed in the sinking groove 402 .

[0037] The area of ​​the through waist groove 401 is slightly smaller than the porous membrane 3. The sink groove 402 plays a role in positioning the porous membrane 3 to avoid misalignment of the porous membrane 3 during installation. At the same time, it can press the outer edge of the porous membrane 3 to avoid horizontal movement.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of top columns 502 are provided in the connecting channel 501 , and a flow channel 503 is provided at the upper end of the top column 502 , and the upper end of the top column 502 abuts against the lower end of the porous membrane 3 .

[0039] Since the porous membrane 3 is generally soft, the top pillars 502 at both ends can support the lower end of the second sealing gasket 4 near the outer edge of the porous membrane 3 to press it tightly, and the inner top pillar 502 directly supports the lower end of the porous membrane 3 to prevent the porous membrane 3 from falling and deforming after being filled with cells, gel and other nutrients.

[0040] The flow channel 503 allows the nutrient solution to flow through the contact point between the top of the top column 502 and the porous membrane 3.

[0041] In the preferred embodiment, the top column 502 is provided with multiple rows, and a plurality of rotatable adjusting columns 6 arranged in a straight line are provided in the center of the connecting groove 501. The adjusting column 6 is provided with a strip baffle 601. A rotating shaft 602 is provided at one end of the adjusting column 6. The rotating shaft 602 is rotatably connected to the lower plate 5 and passes through the lower plate 5. An annular groove 603 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 602, and a plurality of disc spring sheets 7 are also provided. The disc spring sheet 7 is provided with a U-shaped groove 702. A clamping portion 701 is provided at the bottom end of the U-shaped groove 702. The clamping portion 701 is clamped with the annular groove 603, and the outer edge of the disc spring sheet 7 rests against the bottom end of the lower plate 5.

[0042] A plurality of grooves 703 are axially arranged on the outer edge of the disc spring 7 to improve the deformation capability of the disc spring 7 .

[0043] The bottom of the connecting groove 501 is provided with a plurality of threaded holes and light holes. The threaded holes are used to install each top column 502, and the light holes are used to install each adjustment column 6. The third sealing gasket 504 is coated with glue and covers each hole. After the glue solidifies, a small hole is poked at each hole, and the top column 502 and the adjustment column 6 are installed to play a sealing role. The disc spring 7 is elastic. After clamping the adjustment column 6, the adjustment column 6 rotates and presses the third sealing gasket 504, taking into account the sealing.

[0044] Another annular groove can be processed on the rotating shaft 602 and a sealing ring can be sleeved thereon.

[0045] The end of the rotating shaft 602 can be processed with concave and convex stripes to increase muscle friction and facilitate finger rotation.

[0046] By adjusting the regulating column 6 below a certain culture chamber 102 to change the flow area here in the connecting channel 501, the liquid level of the culture solution in the culture chamber 102 can be adjusted. For example, by reducing the flow area, according to the Bernoulli principle, the flow velocity of the connecting channel 501 at the lower end of a certain culture chamber 102 increases, and the pressure here decreases. The pressure is not enough to support the original liquid level, so the liquid level of the culture solution in the upper culture chamber 102 drops. Since the upper plate 1 and the lower plate 5 are made of transparent materials, the liquid level in the culture chamber 102 can be visually observed, and the end of the bottom regulating column 6 can be rotated until the required height is reached. It is also possible to engrave an arrow on the lower end of the regulating column 6 and a scale line on the bottom end of the lower plate 5 to quantitatively adjust the rotation angle of the regulating column 6.

[0047] In the preferred embodiment, a partition partition 8 is further provided at the upper end of the upper plate 1, and the partition partition 8 includes a plurality of parallel and spaced strip partition grooves 801, each of which is arranged above each culture area 10, and a plurality of label grooves 802 are provided on one side of the strip partition groove 801, each of which is provided with a magnetic block 803, and a plurality of label sheets 9 are also provided, the label sheets 9 are arranged in the label grooves 802 and adsorbed by the magnetic blocks 803, and one end of the label sheets 9 points to the culture chamber 102.

[0048] Since there are many culture areas 10 and many culture chambers 102 in the culture areas 10, the residual liquid adhering to the upper surface of the upper plate 1 when adding cells and reagents may flow into the adjacent culture areas 10, causing contamination. Therefore, partition partitions 8 are added and partition grooves 801 are used to separate different culture areas 10, and label sheets 9 are provided to number or add text marks to each culture chamber 102 to avoid confusion.
