Description

A universal detection test tube and detection method based on micromagnetic control technology Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of detection technology, and in particular to a universal detection test tube and a detection method based on micromagnetic control technology. Background Art

[0002] The principle of nucleic acid extraction using magnetic beads is similar to that of silica membrane centrifuge columns. Using nanotechnology, the surface of superparamagnetic nanoparticles is modified and enhanced to produce superparamagnetic silica nanoparticles. These magnetic beads can specifically recognize and efficiently bind to nucleic acid molecules at a microscopic interface. Leveraging the superparamagnetic properties of silica-coated nanoparticles, under the influence of chaotropic salts (such as guanidine hydrochloride and guanidine isothiocyanate) and an external magnetic field, DNA and RNA can be isolated from samples such as blood, animal tissue, food, and pathogenic microorganisms. This method has applications in a variety of fields, including clinical disease diagnosis, blood transfusion safety, forensic identification, environmental microbiology testing, food safety testing, and molecular biology research.

[0003] In modern medical testing, the testing items of various samples (such as sputum, blood, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural effusion, body fluids, pathological sections, etc.) all need to undergo pre-separation, mixing, stirring, temperature adjustment, cleaning, testing and other functions. However, there is no universal test tube that can realize the function of processing multiple different samples for different tests based on existing technologies and methods.

[0004] For example, nucleic acid amplification detection technology is a process that provides conditions for in vitro amplification of nucleic acid fragments, causing them to amplify exponentially and in large quantities, adds fluorescent dyes or fluorescent markers during the nucleic acid amplification process, uses optical devices to detect the strength of the fluorescent signal, and obtains the nucleic acid amplification results by processing and analyzing the fluorescent signal.

[0005] However, the nucleic acid extraction and amplification test tubes in the related art have the problem of poor sealing, which easily causes contamination of the sample nucleic acid. Moreover, the nucleic acid extraction and amplification test in the related art have the problem of insufficient reflection.

[0006] Moreover, in the related technology, nucleic acid extraction and nucleic acid amplification are two steps, and the normal existing process is separate. It requires two sets of equipment, reagent tubes and consumables: nucleic acid extraction test tubes plus nucleic acid extraction instrument and nucleic acid amplification test tubes plus nucleic acid amplification instrument.

[0061] The preset mechanism can have any number of preset slots, and its function is to place various reagents and substances in advance, so that different liquids can be isolated before use.

[0071] The function of the sealing and liquid injection mechanism 5 is to facilitate the injection of various reagents and substances into the reaction tank and to seal it.

[0072] In a possible implementation, the top clamping joint 24 is connected to an external motor drive mechanism and rotates under the drive of the motor drive mechanism.

[0073] Alternatively, the sealing transmission shaft 22 can be rotated manually to allow the reaction in the test tube to proceed fully, for example, to accelerate the lysis reaction so that the sample is fully lysed.

[0074] The present invention discloses a method for detecting nucleic acid amplification by stirring extraction, which is applied to a universal detection test tube based on micromagnetic control technology. The method comprises:

[0075] Add the reaction solution, paraffin wax, and biological reagent into the reaction chamber 7 in sequence;

[0076] Silicone oil is added to the first isolation chamber 62 and the second isolation chamber 64 of the reaction mechanism 6, and cleaning liquid is added to the cleaning chamber 63; both the silicone oil and the cleaning liquid are used to clean the magnetic beads.

[0077] Solidified paraffin is pre-placed on the bottom of each groove of the pre-grooves 42;

[0078] A magnetic bead mixed liquid is added onto the paraffin at the bottom of one of the pre-set tanks 42 .

[0079] The above steps are for packaging the detection reagent of the micromagnetic test tube.

[0080] Open the lid of the micromagnetic control tube 1, and insert the pipette tip through the hollow injection rod 31 and the double-layer stirring blade 33 to the space between the presetting mechanism 4 and the sealed injection mechanism 5 to add the sample liquid; the micromagnetic control tube 1 is sealed by the top cover 21, the sealing transmission shaft 22 and the inner sealing groove 26;

[0081] Rotate the sealing drive shaft 22 manually or by motor drive;

[0082] The magnetic bead mixed liquid is mixed with the test sample in the pre-groove 42, and the paraffin at the bottom of the pre-groove 42 is melted by heating, and the liquid at the bottom of the pre-groove 42 flows into the middle of the micromagnetic control tube 1;

[0083] Insert the micro-magnetic control tube 1 into the shaftless ball gear, and the test sample begins to heat up and lyse. The external magnet rotates repeatedly to drive the magnetic beads inside the micro-magnetic control tube 1 to move. The lysed nucleic acids combine with the magnetic beads. Under the action of the external magnet, the magnetic beads pass through the first connecting chamber 61, the first isolation chamber 62, the cleaning chamber 63, the second isolation chamber 64, and the second connecting chamber 65 in sequence to complete the cleaning.

[0084] For example, the cleaning chamber 63 contains a cleaning liquid for cleaning impurities on the magnetic beads.

[0085] The paraffin on the upper portion of the reaction chamber 7 is melted by temperature control, and the magnetic beads carrying nucleic acids enter the reaction chamber 7;

[0086] Under the action of the reagents inside the reaction chamber 7 , the magnetic beads are separated from the nucleic acids and fall to the bottom of the reaction chamber 7 . The nucleic acids react with the reaction solution in the reaction chamber 7 , and the detection instrument collects fluorescence from the side of the reaction chamber 7 .

[0087] Application examples using micromagnetron cuvettes.

[0088] The inner bottom of each pre-set groove 42 is pre-set with solidified paraffin wax in advance. Magnetic beads mixed liquid is added to the paraffin inside one of the pre-set grooves 42. Other liquids that need to be isolated and pre-set can be selectively added to other grooves, and the pre-set cover 41 is covered to achieve the purpose of pre-setting.

[0089] When in use, first rotate to open the sealing transmission mechanism 2, use a pipette to insert the TIP head to absorb the sample, and the TIP head passes through the hollow injection rod 31 and the double-layer stirring blade 33 to penetrate between the preset mechanism 4 and the sealed injection mechanism 5 to add the sample liquid into the interior of the micromagnetic control tube. After that, rotate the sealing transmission mechanism 2 to lock the bottom clamping joint 25 with the top clamping groove 32, and then place the test tube on the test equipment to perform the detection reaction.

[0090] During the reaction, the paraffin at the bottom of the pre-groove 42 is melted by heating. Since the inner bottom of the pre-groove 42 adopts a sloped opening design, it is convenient for the paraffin and magnetic bead mixed liquid and other pre-set liquids to flow out of the pre-groove 42 to the middle of the micro-magnetic control tube 1 to mix with the liquid in the middle of the micro-magnetic control tube 1. The rotation of the bottom clamping joint 25 makes the various liquids and magnetic beads mix more fully with the liquid in the middle of the micro-magnetic control tube 1. At the same time, under the action of the external magnet, the magnetic beads will gather just above the first connecting chamber 61. The magnet will move in sequence along the first connecting chamber 61, the first isolation chamber 62, the cleaning chamber 63, and the second isolation chamber 64 until it moves to just above the second connecting chamber 65, and finally fall into the interior of the reaction chamber 7 through the second connecting chamber 65 to react.

[0091] The disclosed embodiments of a universal test tube and detection method based on micromagnetic control technology conduct reactions within the micromagnetic control tube, with a spiral seal at the top for enhanced effectiveness. The sealing transmission mechanism provides both sealing and stirring functions, reducing the risk of sample nucleic acid contamination and ensuring sufficient reaction progress through stirring. Paraffin wax is injected into the inner wall of the inner sealing groove for secondary sealing.

[0092] The preset mechanism can have any number of preset slots, and its function is to place various reagents and substances in advance and isolate them before use. The function of the sealed liquid injection mechanism is to facilitate the injection of various reagents and substances into the reaction tank and seal it; the various slots inside the reaction tank can be injected with different liquids, which can be moved between different liquids under the action of magnetic beads to achieve the desired effect. Finally, the required substances can move together with the magnetic beads to the inside of the reaction chamber for mixing; under specific conditions inside the reaction chamber, the internal substances undergo a series of specific reactions. The inner bottom of the preset slot adopts a sloped opening design to facilitate the flow of reagents out of the preset slot to the inside of the micromagnetic control tube.
