Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biosensor technology, specifically relating to a glucose colorimetric detection device based on enzyme-immobilized nanochannels. Background Technology
[0002] Diabetes mellitus, a prevalent metabolic disease worldwide, requires patients to continuously monitor their blood glucose levels for effective management. However, existing blood glucose detection methods (such as electrochemical and optical detection) have limitations in practical applications, especially in complex samples (such as undiluted serum), exhibiting low sensitivity, poor stability, and insufficient resistance to interference. Furthermore, conventional electrochemical sensors, limited by material selection and detection method optimization, struggle to simultaneously achieve high sensitivity and reliability. Therefore, developing a highly sensitive, easy-to-operate glucose detection device that can effectively cope with interference from complex samples is of paramount importance. Utility Model Content

The large end faces the sample storage module side, and the small end faces the colorimetric detection module side. The surface of the through-pores inside the nanochannel has a catalytic reaction layer and a colorimetric layer. The catalytic reaction layer is a metal-organic framework (MOFs) and glucose oxidase (GOD) composite structure grown in situ on the inner surface of the titanium dioxide nanochannel. The surface of the catalytic reaction layer is a colorimetric layer, which is a colorimetric agent adsorbed on the surface of the catalytic reaction layer.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figure 1As shown, a glucose colorimetric detection device based on enzyme immobilization nanochannels includes a nanochannel 1, a sample storage module 2, a colorimetric detection module 3, a fixing support 4, a gasket 5, and a fixing suction cup clamping device 6. The sample storage module 2 and the colorimetric detection module 3 are placed in the fixing support 4, with the right end face of the sample storage module 2 and the left end face of the colorimetric detection module 3 facing each other. The central areas of the symmetrical right end face of the sample storage module 2 and the left end face of the colorimetric detection module 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the gasket 5. The gasket has a through hole in the center, and the gasket material is polydimethylsiloxane (PMDS).
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the sample storage module 2 is provided with a sample cell 2-01, and the colorimetric detection module 3 is provided with a detection cell 3-01 and a colorimetric card 3-02. The colorimetric card 3-02 is placed at the top of the detection cell 3-01. The sample cell 2-01 and the detection cell 3-01 are respectively provided with passages of the same diameter corresponding to the position of the gasket through hole.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the fixed suction cup clamping device 6 includes a suction cup 6-01 and a clamping device bolt 6-02. The screw is fixedly connected to the suction cup 6-01. The fixed support 4 is provided with a screw hole. The screw passes through the screw hole through the fixed support 4 and is clamped and adjusted by the nut outside the fixed support 4. The suction cup 6-01 is fixed on the right end face of the colorimetric detection module 3. The clamping device 6-02 is adjusted so that the sample storage module 2 and the colorimetric detection module 3 clamp the nanochannel 1 through the gasket 5 and make the sample storage module 2 fit tightly against the fixed support.
[0029] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, nanochannel 1 uses titanium dioxide nanochannel (TiNM) as its core substrate. The two end faces of the titanium dioxide nanochannel have different pore sizes, divided into a large-mouth end 1-01 and a small-mouth end 1-02. The large-mouth end 1-01 faces the sample storage module 2, and the small-mouth end 1-02 faces the colorimetric detection module 3. The surface of the internal through-pores of the nanochannel has a catalytic reaction layer and a colorimetric layer. The catalytic reaction layer is a composite structure GOD@ZIF-8 formed by in-situ growth and immobilization of glucose oxidase (GOD) within the titanium dioxide nanochannel using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The surface of the catalytic reaction layer is a colorimetric layer, which is a colorimetric agent adsorbed on the surface of the catalytic reaction layer. On the side end face 1-02 of the small-mouth end of the titanium dioxide nanochannel, there is a pH-responsive gating structure layer. The pH-responsive gating structure layer is a pH-responsive poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) layer formed by metal-organic frameworks on the side end face of the small-mouth end of the titanium dioxide nanochannel.
[0030] The passage of sample cell 2-01 is connected to the large end 1-01 of nanochannel through the through hole of gasket 5, and the passage of detection cell 3-01 is connected to the small end 1-02 of nanochannel through the through hole of gasket 5.
[0031] The detection principle is as follows:
[0032] The sample to be tested is placed in the sample cell and enters the nanochannel through the sample cell pathway and the gasket through-hole from the large opening end of the nanochannel. The nanochannel uses titanium dioxide nanochannels (TiNM) as the core substrate (TiNM is prepared on a titanium substrate by anodizing). The channel pore size can be adjusted according to the detection requirements of different samples. The TiNM structure is a mass transfer channel with high biocompatibility and stability, which can effectively improve the catalytic efficiency and stability of glucose oxidase. Glucose oxidase (GOD) is immobilized on the TiNM surface using a biomimetic mineralization method and then grown in situ within the TiNM channel using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). To enhance its stability, a composite structure is formed to improve glucose conversion efficiency and detection sensitivity. In the sample to be tested, glucose undergoes a catalytic reaction through immobilized glucose oxidase (GOD) to generate gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide, triggering a pH change. This triggers a pH-responsive gated structure layer on the side face of the small end of the TiNM. This gated structure layer is a pH-responsive polymer (such as P4VP) layer formed by a metal-organic framework. The chromogenic agent is released, and a color change occurs in the detection cell. The degree of color change is directly proportional to the glucose concentration. After the sample to be tested enters the detection cell, the glucose concentration is quantified by comparing the color of the sample cell with the colorimetric card.
