Description

For micro-fluidic chip of sorting and application thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to micro fluidic chip technical field, be specifically related to the method for separating of a kind of micro-fluidic chip for sorting, micro flow control chip device, micro-fluidic chip test kit and sorting object.
Background technology
Microfluidic chip technology is also known as chip lab (lab-on-a-chip), it is that the one proposed by Switzerland's research worker the nineties in 20th century utilizes micromachining technology, is integrated into basic steps such as separation, sampling, reaction and detections involved in biochemical reaction on the area about chip of several square centimeters and realizes omnidistance accurately to control.The microchannel of chip internal forms controlled microfluidic networks, it is possible to for replacing the biochemistry detection of routine, and microminiaturized with it, integrated, high flux and high-precision feature demonstrate huge development potentiality and using value in medical science and life science.
Be broadly divided into according to principle for CTCs (circulating tumor cell) micro-fluidic chip sorted: (1) based on the micro-fluidic chip (2) of cell biological physical features based on the micro-fluidic chip (3) of cellular affinity-microfluidic chromatography technology based on the micro-fluidic chip of immune magnetic sorting technology.
CTCs in conjunction with immunomagnetic isolation technology sorts micro-fluidic chip, it is utilize the immunomagnetic beads of surface coupling specificities Anti-tumor labelling molecular antibody to catch the cell expressing corresponding antigens, then adding outside is trapped in the magnetic field in micro-fluidic chip passage by magnetic bead-cell conjugate under the effect of electric magnet or permanent magnet, reaches the purpose of target cell and the sorting of magnetic bead unlabeled cells.Compared with traditional enrichment and detection method, such micro-fluidic chip can realize the single stage of CTCs in a small amount of blood (1 milliliter) and be continuously separated, having high sensitivity, high specificity and high flux feature, the CTCs caught can keep complete morphological feature and higher cell viability.
Saliba in 2010 etc. devise a kind of immunomagnetic beads micro-fluidic chip, this chip utilizes the method for the ink marking to inoculate the iron oxide magnetic substance spots of distribution in equilateral hexagon in the chip of polydimethylsiloxane material, when externally-applied magnetic field, when the suspension containing magnetic beads of binding antibody first passes through chip microchannel, the magnetic field on additional vertical chip surface can make magnetic bead spontaneously start to pile up and formed the magnetic microtrabeculae of the perpendicular shape of paramagnetic field direction at speckle locating place, again when blood sample flows through microchannel, it is possible to achieve CTCs catches.But such chip fabrication technique relative complex, experiment condition controls to require height, and the repeatability therefore tested need checking.Kang in 2012 etc. report a kind of magnetic separation micro-fluidic chip based on dual channel mode, same sidewall at two parallel microchannels is provided with for the CTCs cell collected, the outside permanent magnet of placing of cell end for producing sufficiently strong magnetic field in microchannel, when the tumor cell of marked by magnetic bead flows through microchannel, the deflection in flow velocity direction will be perpendicular under the action of a magnetic force, enter into the collection cell of sidewall, thus realizing the sorting of CTCs, but, the main channel limited width of this chip, thus chip flow and process sample ability are on the low side.Hoshino in 2011 etc. devise the another kind of CTCs based on immune magnetic sorting technology and sort micro-fluidic chip, this chip only includes the main channel that height is 500 microns, the length and width in cell sorting district is 20 millimeters, the bottom of main channel uses the coverslip of 150 micron thickness to close, three blocks of neodymium iron boron N42 Magnet are placed as externally-applied magnetic field in the lower section of slide, for catching of CTCs cell.But major downside is that of this chip, magnetic field force induced and adhere to immunomagnetic beads marked tumor cell on the cover slip and be still limited by stronger flow disturbance, be exposed under fluid shear stress, cause coming off and losing of part attached cell.
Therefore exploitation one makes simple, operability and favorable repeatability, and support high flow capacity cell sorting, the micro-fluidic chip that attached cell can be prevented effectively from come off and lose be current problem demanding prompt solution.
