Particular embodiment describes in detail
To introduce some particular embodiment of the present invention in detail now, comprise the embodiment of enforcement the best of the present invention that the inventor thinks.The example of having represented these embodiments in the accompanying drawing.Although the present invention describes in conjunction with these special embodiments, be understood that this well does not mean that the present invention only limits to described embodiment.On the contrary, but it comprises that those drop on selection scheme, evolutionary approach and equivalence within essence of the present invention and the scope, such as in the appended claims qualification.For example, will technical scheme of the present invention be described with the glass micro-fluidic device in the literary composition, although also can adopt other device, for example plastic device.
Should be pointed out that the Flow Control structure that is applicable to the glass micro-fluidic device can be applied in the various micro fluidic devices.In a kind of possible application that utilizes Flow Control structure advantage, the pathogen detection system is exactly a good example.In the following description, many special details have been listed so that complete understanding of the present invention is provided.The present invention can implement under the situation that does not have part or all of these specific details.In other cases, known processing operation is not described in detail in order to avoid with the present invention unnecessary obscuring takes place.
Since single channel spacer assembly the earliest, microfluidic analysis technical field just development is very fast.Some devices contain the multichannel spacer assembly that is useful on high throughput analysis and the analyzer of integrated sample preparation and analytic function on single chip.The device that combines multichannel analysis and integrated sample preparation simultaneously can reduce and carry out required resource of a plurality of determination tests and cost amount.Can find an illustration in genomics field: the preparation of integrated order-checking sample, purifying and electrophoretic analysis can make minute and cost reduce and improve flux efficient and the durability of measuring in single assembly.In all cases, high-caliber integrated level all needs chip mechanism to have durability so that separation, routing, mixing, shunting and store a large amount of fluids in the micro fluidic device.
Some valve technologies that are used for silicon, glass silicon, polymer and elasticity micro fluidic device have satisfied these needs with limited mode.Yet many these technology and many chemistry or biochemical measurement test are incompatible on chemistry or physical property.And concerning existing glass micro-fluidic device, many technology lack the various chemical property that durable surface is modified.In addition, typically making single microfluidic valve is to adopt independent film spare, and it stays open usually.Have and be generally the valve opened and just need to continue to drive to keep control to flowing.Adopt the micro fluidic device of this valve from control system, to remove, otherwise can lose control ability the composition that flows in the device.In addition, some typical devices adopt the latex film spare that is provided with separately.Though the pneumatic latex film spare that is provided with develops to some extent separately, it is multichannel, high-throughout analytical equipment that this manufacture method has hindered large scale integration.
Other micro fluidic devices are to utilize the silicon of anode combination and chip glass to make, and pass through Piezoelectric Driving.Yet, because the electric conductivity of silicon and chemical compatibility cause its application in analytical equipment complicated.In conjunction with or the film that is deposited on the silicon can only partly reduce its electric conductivity and chemical compatibility.
People have also tested elastic device.Yet the hydrophobicity of elastomeric material and porous make elastic device incompatible with the biochemical measurement test with many chemistry.Therefore people wish to contact with the fluid of surface of elastomer and minimize.Complicated making, chemical compatibility, insecure fluid operated property and other problem have caused existing fluid operated technology to be not suitable for being integrated on the device of extensive, high-throughout chip type laboratory (1ab-on-a-chip).
Therefore, technology of the present invention and mechanism provide a kind of high density that is suitable for to be integrated into integral membrane part valve arrangement on the micro fluidic device.Various Flow Control structures based on this integral membrane part valve arrangement also are provided.
Micro fluidic device with integral membrane part is an example that is particularly suitable for realizing the device of pathogen detection system on chip.According to numerous embodiments, the pathogen detection system comprises immunocapture and DNA analysis mechanism, for example PCR (PCR), and Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) mechanism.In one embodiment, this pathogen detection system can realize on the glass micro-fluidic device with various Flow Control structures.
Figure 1A-1E is the diagram of the integral membrane part valve that can realize on the glass micro-fluidic device.Figure 1A is the top view diagram of integral membrane part valve.Figure 1B is the side view diagram with three-layer type device of this valve.Fig. 1 C is the side view diagram with four laminar devices of this valve.Fig. 1 D is the side view diagram of a kind of opening type valve of three-layer type device.Fig. 1 E is the side view diagram of a kind of opening type valve of four laminar devices.According to the various embodiments shown in Figure 1A and the 1B, three-layer type glass micro-fluidic device comprises the elastic film piece 111 that is clipped between two chip glasses 101 and 105.In one embodiment, this elastic film piece is dimethyl silicone polymer (PDMS) film spare, available from Bisco Silicons of Elk Grove, IL, the HT-6135 that 254um is thick and HT-6240 type film spare.Also can adopt other flexible membrane spare.Elastic film piece 111 make between the wafer in conjunction with reversible and firm.
Before combination, in the wafer etching fluid passage 103 be used to carry fluid.Etch collector path 10 7 and valve zone 109 similarly in order under pressure or vacuum, to transport air or other working fluid to drive this valve.Be typically, this filling channel 107 and 109 is positioned on the wafer 105, be referred to as to inflate wafer here, and the fluid passage is etched on second wafer 101, is called fluid chip here.These etched channel characteristics can directly contact and form hybrid glass/elastomer passage with film spare, shown in Figure 1B.
Perhaps, film spare can be positioned between the full glass flow wafer sandwich (XY) and inflation wafer 159 of thermal bonding, as shown in the four laminar devices 150 of Fig. 1 C.Having all-glass passage can allow device benefit from the good physical and the chemical property of glass.Any layer with good physical and chemical property is known as the chemical inertness layer.This chemical inertness layer can be used for making XY.In one embodiment, 151 and 155 interlayers that constitute XY are just made by glass.
The example of four laminar devices comprises the fluid chip 151 that is thermally bonded on the binding wafer 155.The through hole of minor diameter is arranged on the discontinuous point in the fluid passage 153.Elastic film piece 157 sticks to connecting wafer 155 1 sides of this fluid/binding wafer sandwich XZ.Valve bias current chamber 161 is etched in the collector wafer 159 and is bonding with film spare 157, has finished this four laminars device 150.Like this, fluid passage 153 has kept full glass to learn upward useful structure, can realize the Flow Control structure of large scale integration simultaneously.In some embodiments, the three-layer type device of comparing of four laminar devices shown in Fig. 1 C has suitable advantage, because it has reduced the contact between sample and the elastic film piece.
According to numerous embodiments, the various Flow Control compositions in the integral membrane part device are to exert pressure or vacuum drives by the hole on the inflation wafer.Here any single film spare is called the integral membrane part.Any single assembly with integral membrane part is referred to herein as single unit system.Be used for to exerting pressure with the etched channels that accompanies of inflation wafer or the mechanism of vacuum is referred to herein as gas port or inflation inlet.In the three-layer type device, the etched channels of inflation in the wafer will drive in the valve zone 109 that vacuum is scattered in elastic film piece 111.The vacuum that collector passage by 109 places, valve zone applies promotes the discontinuous point of film spare away from passage, and provides the path of passing this discontinuous point for fluid flows, thereby opens valve, shown in Fig. 1 D.But but the valve that utilizes the blowing pressure switch is referred to herein as switch valve or pneumatic on-off valve.
Apply the situation that the blowing pressure comprises pressurization or applies vacuum.Thereby the fluid that film spare 157 can be regulated near the fluid passage is mobile, as shown in Fig. 1 D.In Fig. 1 D, open fluid passage 103 by applying vacuum to valve zone 109 with the etched channels that accompanies of inflation wafer 105.When no longer when valve zone 109 applies vacuum or suction, film spare 111 is closed fluid passage 103, shown in Figure 1B.Fig. 1 E has represented a kind of four laminar devices.This four laminars device comprises channel layer 151, passage 153, articulamentum 155, film spare layer 157, and airflow layer 159.As mentioned above, this four laminars device has suitable benefit than three-layer type device, because it minimizes contacting between sample and the elastic film piece, only at 161 places, valve zone contact is arranged in some cases.
Structure can be towards any direction shown in should be noted that.In certain embodiments, valve can be inverted on device.Airflow layer can be positioned at fluidized bed above or below.Technical scheme of the present invention allows towards various directions, because gravity can't cause adverse influence to this film spare valve.
The Flow Control structure has multiple advantage.For example, integral membrane part valve is generally the valve of cutting out, and also keeps closed condition even that is to say this valve when not being connected with the driving pressure source at device.The existing microfluidic valve that is generally opening type need continue to drive to keep installing the control ability of the composition that flows.And unlike the structure of marmem, the switch temperature of this valve constitution all is to be under the environment temperature, and this helps working under the biofluid situation of the aqueous solution.
In many typical embodiment, need many interfaces between the micro fluidic device so that control various Flow Control mechanism.Yet according to numerous embodiments of the present invention, parallel drive can be come by the ventilating control passage that connects them in a plurality of zones of film spare.In one embodiment, utilize single inflation inlet just can control series of valves.Therefore, only use the external interface of limited quantity or inflation inlet just can control considerable valve.This problem with regard to having simplified implementation procedure and having minimized device interface.According to various embodiments, control valve can carry out parallel in a large number inflation driving to the integral membrane part by this way, in order to other Flow Control structure in driven valve, pump, liquid storage tank, selector switch and the device.

According to various embodiments, aspiration procedure can be implemented by a series of stages.The first step, delivery valve 205 cuts out, and transfer valve 201 is opened.In second step, diaphragm valve 203 is opened.In the 3rd step, transfer valve 201 cuts out.In the 4th step, delivery valve 205 is opened.In the 5th step, diaphragm valve 203 is closed, by the delivery valve 205 suction analyte fluid of opening.
The amount of each cyclic suction depends on the volume that is comprised in the diaphragm valve of opening, and this volume depends on the size of inflating cells in the diaphragm valve again successively.Therefore, can to make in order measuring by the size of regulating the diaphragm valve inflating cells and knownly to receive the pump that the Fluid Volume that rises to the microlitre specification designs.This membrane pump can be full of automatically and can aspirate fluid forward or aspirate fluid backward by the described driving cyclic process of inverted running.The valve position that should also be noted that film spare contact glass capsulation surface can be etched into has convex ridge or other finishing, with the adherence of controlling diaphragm spare with glass surface.
Integral valve can also be used to form selector switch, blender and current divider.To illustrate that although should be noted in the discussion above that following structure this structure also can be used for the structure of four layers or more multi-layered formula by the literal of three-layer type structure.Fig. 3 is a kind of diagram of selector switch 300.This selector switch comprises valve 301,303,305 and 317, filling channel 331,333,335,337 and 339, fluid passage 321,323,325 and 327, and diaphragm valve 309.This selector switch is drawn into arbitrary delivery outlet with fluid from arbitrary input port, and it depends in this suction cyclic process to have driven at what position which I/O valve at.Drive two or more transfer valves simultaneously and can several strands of different fluid streams be mixed into a plume at the delivery valve place.On the contrary, driving two or more delivery valves simultaneously can become several strands of different liquid to flow sub-thread fluid diverting flow at the delivery valve place
For example, be routed to passage 321 for making fluid from passage 327, valve 301 and 305 will keep cutting out.The valve 317,309 and 303 of using as described above then is as pump.Selector switch comprises the function of mixing and shunting fluid passage.For fluid is mixed into passage 323 from passage 325 and 327, valve 303 will keep cutting out.For fluid is diverted to passage 323 and 327 from passage 321, valve 301 will keep cutting out.And in another embodiment, for being routed to passage 325 through the fluid that passage 327 is introduced, valve 303 and 305 will keep cutting out. Open valve 317 and 301 so that fluid flows to passage 325 by passage 327.Various set-up modes are all possible.
Utilize integral valve can also form the mixing loop.In one embodiment, can realize mixed process by fluid is mobile between two zones of device.Mixed process can be used for being implemented in all types of operations of carrying out on the chip.Fig. 4 is a kind of diagram of mixing loop 400.This mixing loop or blender comprise valve 401,403 and 405, fluid passage 411,413 and 415, and filling channel 421,423 and 425.The passage that valve is arranged that is connecting other on this loop provides to fluid and to lead to or from the path of blender.By passage 413 and 415 fluid of two or more flows is entered in this mixing loop, and as mentioned above, it is drawn in the circulation mix by diffusion up to these fluids.Again this mixture is aspirated out this and mix loop.Mixed process can also realize by fluid is flowed between two liquid storage tanks back and forth.
Fig. 5 A-5C is the diagram of liquid storage tank 500.Fig. 5 A is the liquid storage tank top view with etched discharge opeing chamber.Fig. 5 B is the side view of this liquid storage tank.Fig. 5 C is the side view of the liquid storage tank after expression is filled with.Fig. 5 D is the side view with boring discharge opeing chamber and big capacity liquid storage tank of the pump that is used for spontaneous filling in/assigning process.This liquid storage tank is included on the inflation wafer 513, and wherein film spare 505 is clipped between this inflation wafer 513 and the fluid chip 511.Can fill with or emptying by passage 501 liquid storage tanks.According to numerous embodiments, the integral membrane part valve of opening in the valve zone 503 plays the work of liquid storage tank in order to be used for the storage of fluid on the chip.The size of inflation wafer 513 middle chambers has determined to be stored in the fluid volume in the liquid storage tank, and this liquid storage tank fills up when applying vacuum, its emptying when exerting pressure.
According to numerous embodiments, can replace the etching inflating cells with boring when making the liquid storage tank be used to store a large amount of fluids, and can directly apply driving pressure or vacuum to this boring.Perhaps, liquid storage tank can be connected to make on the membrane pump and not have the liquid storage tank that direct inflation connects.Fig. 5 D has represented a kind of liquid storage tank 503 that is connected on the pump.This liquid storage tank is filled with according to the direction of suction or is found time, and it has the change point of variable volume.In one embodiment,, pump for example valve 531,533 and 535 can be used for liquid storage tank 503 is filled in or distributing fluids.

Most of elastic film pieces are gas permeability, thereby this character is utilized at present to simplify the fluid injection process of all elastic devices.
According to numerous embodiments, the gas permeability of film spare can eliminate bubble or air pocket.When applying to integral membrane part reactor or other fluidal texture when driving vacuum, the bubble that comes from the reaction that produces gas can be eliminated.For example, Breathable films spare can reduce the bubble that forms in the thermal cycle process of PCR reactant on chip, and this bubble can cause the loss of reactant mixture content.
Complicated micro fluidic device can comprise the standalone module that some are connected with mobile bus.In one embodiment, provide analyte fluid to be very useful to a plurality of different fluid passages.In another embodiment, obtainable plurality of reagents can be introduced in the micro fluidic device.Fig. 6 is the diagram that can be used for distributing the bus valve 600 of analyte fluid.This bus valve 600 comprises valve 601,603,605 and 607, and it is made into to make fluid to be routed to fluid passage 621,623,625 and 627 from fluid bus run 611.Filling channel 631,633,635 and 637 is in charge of the valve that the control fluid distributes.Typical bus valve has dead volume in bus one side.Dead volume causes the bus that is difficult between the cleaning down fluid routing operation.According to numerous embodiments, the bus valve that technology of the present invention provides at the dead volume of bus side seldom or do not have.This makes that the bus between the fluid routing operation can be washed up hill and dale, and has prevented mixing or the cross pollution between the different fluid in the device operating process.
Micro fluidic device mechanism can adopt various technology to make.According to numerous embodiments, channel characteristics is etched advances chip glass, for example, utilizes the wet chemical etch technology of standard.Chip glass (thickness 1.1mm, diameter 100mm) cleans (20:1) and utilizes LPCVD stove or sputtering system to apply sacrifice layer (200nm) polysilicon etching mask layer with sulfuric acid/hydrogen peroxide (piranha).Borofloat chip glass or Schott D263 borosilicate glass wafer are used for described device with three-layer type or the design of four laminars.After the polysilicon deposition, with positive this wafer of photoresist spin coating, gentleness is toasted and is made pattern with the contact alignment machine.Remove the ultraviolet exposure zone of photoresist with the Microposit developer.Remove the exposure area of polysilicon by in the SF6 plasma, carrying out etching.In HF solution (49% HF is used for the Borofloat wafer, and the HF:HC1:H20 of 1:1:2 is used for the D263 wafer) with speed of 7um/min etc. to etched wafer, up to reaching required etch depth.
According to numerous embodiments, the fluid passage chip etching of three-layer type device becomes 20um dark, and that four laminar devices are etched into 40um is dark.The collector chip etching 70um of three-layer type device is dark, and four laminar devices are holed at valve position.With PRS-3000 and SF plasma remaining photoresist and polysilicon are peelled off from wafer respectively then.Get out through hole and twice usefulness sulfuric acid/hydrogen peroxide of running through fluid and collector wafer and clean this wafer.
In certain embodiments, the assembling of adopting the device of triple layer designs is by with PDMS film spare (HT-6135 that 254um is thick and HT-6240, Bisco Silicones, Elk Grove, IL) be added on the etch configuration in the wafer of fluid passage, well and no matter on the collector boring or etching discharge opeing chamber be how towards, all directly push collector hybrid glass-PDMS fluid passage and cross the PDMS film from valve position with valve.The assembling of adopting the device of four laminars designs is that to have diameter be on the thick D263 connecting wafer of the 210um of paired drilled via of 254um by at first the fluid passage wafer being thermally bonded to, wherein the position in this lead to the hole site respective channel gap.This fluid passage and connecting wafer vacuum drying oven (J.M.Ney, Yucaipa, CA) in 570 ℃ of heating 3.5h and bonding.The two-layer structure bond that contains full glazing channel that will obtain then is on PDMS film and collector wafer.The glass of Xing Chenging-PDMS bonding is reversible like this, but still enough firmly to bear vacuum and the pressure limit that is applied on this device.Randomly, before assembling by UV ozone clean device (Jelight Company Inc., Ivine, CA) in cleaning collector wafer and PDMS film can obtain irreversible glass-PDMS bonding.
The mechanism of above-mentioned micro fluidic device can be used for realizing various devices.Can be provided with neatly comprise valve and pump structure so that multichannel chip type Laboratory Instruments to be provided, make its can be on single assembly integrated sample preparation and analytical procedure.This micro-fluidic platform is particularly suitable for the device that can realize integrated pathogen detection system as one.
Conventional quick pathogen detection system's employing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or fluorescence immunoassay (FIA) detect.Typically, detection can relate to the analyte specific antibody fixing, with the incubation of sample solution, be connected the identification of the sandwich antibody of enzyme or fluorogen, be to develop the color and testing process then.Also can use immunofluorescence detection assay method.Yet each determination method all has the detection limitation relatively.
Adopt the genetic test and the type mensuration of various forms of PCR-baseds also very general, because it has the specificity and the acquisition amount of height.Yet although powerful based on the PCR method of DNA, they all are positive to alive and dead pathogen, and this just might produce false-positive result.Thereby can preferably detect the RNA object, because it can be degraded soon, just mean that also the object that needs are lived can be detected.
People have also proposed the detection method that plurality of optional is selected.Developed mass spectrometry and detected pathogen, gemma and other biological reagent by detecting neutral fats plastid, polarity plasmalogen and gemma specific biological mark.Yet outstanding and its specificity of the speed of mass spectrometry, flux and portability also is not confirmed.
Detection to the gemma (for example anthrax) that comes from soil, air etc. is a difficult problem, because it has the infectiousness (can reach the dosage of 10000 gemma of suction under 10 spore/L in 10 minutes) of height.Most of advanced persons' detection principle is to utilize in the silicon system microreactor with thin film heater and integrated fluorescence excitation and testing process the PCR product to be detected in real time.This system had been extended to a kind of high order nucleic acid analyzer (ANAA) and a kind of portable form of ten passages afterwards.The various forms of this system also is developed and is used for military going up and the post office.Also developed a kind of GeneXpert sample preparation system and be used to carry out the PCR in real time analysis with integrated (many microlitres) sample treatment process.

Comprised integrated form immunity affinity capture chamber in the pathogen analyzer.Can use various capture mechanisms, for example frit, microballon, gel, single piece (monoliths) and polymer.Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 are the immunocapture chamber diagrams that expression utilizes silica frit and microballon to realize.According to numerous embodiments, the immunocapture chamber comprises a series of silica frits made from the mixtures filling wafer hole of silicon dioxide powder and sodium silicate binder.Through dehydration and flushing, this silicate condenses into silica gel and has formed insoluble silica frit at 801,803,805 and 807 places.
According to numerous embodiments, each the silicon frit diameter that forms in the thick chip glass of 1.1mm is 1mm.The immunocapture chamber accompanies with the passage 821 that is used to introduce and discharge analyte.Frit in the wafer be easy to be integrated into contain film spare 811 and 813 and the device of valve and pump configuration on.In Fig. 8, four silicon frits 801,803,805 and 807 close by film spare 811 and 813.The big silicon face of each frit is adapted to pass through various organosilan reagent and chemically derives.Be the further manufacturing of simplification device, PDMS is non-thermally bonded can chemically derived described overall chip before to all the other devices.
In one embodiment, be added in the capture chamber so that can catch and permitted great substance classes such as the such mechanism of the microballon of frit or 1.5um, for example gemma and bacterium.It is known for a person skilled in the art that solid-phase capture is permitted great substance classes, and its feature once was described in Weimer, B.C., M.K.Walsh, C.Beer, R.Koka, and X.Wang, 2001 Solid Phase Capture ofProteins, Spores, and Bacter ia.Appl Environ.Microbiology, 67:1300-1307.In certain embodiments, catch, modify chamber so that provide the retainer of microballon and the introducing passage of microballon with cofferdam structure for adopting microballon reagent.It is known to those skilled in the art that the filling of electrodynamic type microballon bed is caught with the cofferdam microballon.Perhaps, the magnetic micro-beads introducing with immunologic function can not had in the chamber in cofferdam.
Fig. 9 is the unitarily formed valve diagram of opening that expression has no longer sealing.According to numerous embodiments, 901,903,905,907 and 909 places apply pneumatic vacuum so that analyte flows through frit 931,933,935 and 937 along passage 921 in the zone.In one mounting arrangement between mounting, can contain any amount of frit.
Figure 10 A is the diagram that the expression analyte is caught.According to numerous embodiments, the pump 1000 that comprises three film spare valves 1001,1003 and 1005 be used to aspirate contain oligonucleotides, protein, cell etc. analyte solution by a series of immunocapture chambers.
Chamber can use various mechanisms to catch interested object.Any interested material of catching in the immunocapture chamber is referred to herein as object.The fluid or the material that carry object are referred to herein as analyte.In one embodiment, object is salmonella or the Listera (Listeria) that carries in the fluid analysis thing.
In another embodiment, each capture chamber has been filled the sticky polymers matrix that contains oligonucleotide probe, so that combining target thing molecule optionally.When DNA analysis, Sanger dna sequence dna extension products comprises primer and polymerase reagent in the high salt concentration, and electrophoresis has wherein comprised the immobilization acrylamide matrix that contains the covalency oligonucleotide probe by the immunocapture chamber in this immunocapture chamber.The sequence of catching is chosen such that to make to have only the DNA cloning product to be caught by probe, and primer and polymerase reagent flow through this device together in company with salt.This is just as purification of target thing molecule the complexity that need run into when analyzing, the impure mixture.
But preparation has a system of selection of little capture chamber that functional polymer catches matrix comprises that preparation has the single piece in the hole of 10-20um scope, and the preparation chamber of the microfabrication element of functional thin crosslinked polymer layer (approximately 100um) that had bigger, finishing.This method of great use because sometimes microballon is difficult to be filled in the capture chamber and the microballon bed usually lacks enough mechanical stabilities for routine operation.According to numerous embodiments, the forming blocks of the surface-functional polyalcohol integral spare of porous (10-20um) is to be formed directly in the capture chamber by the precursor mixture photopolymerization reaction that contains monomer and Kong Sheng (porogenic) solvent.
Because polymerization process utilizes UV light to realize, can form porous polymer in any zone that needs of micro fluidic device by photoetching process.The dynamics of this " miniature carving method " polymerization process that utilization is filled with the glass-chip of precursor mixture is known for a person skilled in the art, for example be described in Yu, C., F.Svec, with the Towards stationary phases forchromatography on a microchip:Molded porous polymer monolithsprepared in capillaries by photoinitiated in situ polymerization asseparation media for electrochromatography. (the solid phase chromatographic technique that is carrying out on the microchip: in capillary, prepare the porous polymer whole spare of moulding as the electrochromatography spacer medium) among the J.M.J.Frechet 2000 by the initial home position polymerization reaction of light, Electrophoresis, 21:120-127, and Yu, C., M.Xu, F.Svec, with the Preparation of monolithic polymerswith controlled porous properties for microfluidic chip applicationsusing photoinitated free radial polymerization. (the single piece polymer that utilizes the initial Raolical polymerizable preparation of light to have controlled porous feature is used for micro-fluidic chip and uses) among the J.M.J.Frechet 2002, J.Polymer Sci., 40:755. similarly, on can control device the exact position of integral piece of material with and surface chemical property, this also is known for those skilled in the art, as be described in Rohr, T.C, C.Yu, H.M.Davey, F.Svec, with J.M.J.Frechet 2001.Simple and efficientmixers prepared by direct polymerization in the channels ofmicrofluidic chips. (preparing simple and effective mixture) by the direct polymerisation in the passage of micro-fluidic chip, Electrophoresis, 22:3959.The porosity characteristic of single piece polymer can realize by the component of regulating porogenic solvents.
No matter the single piece still surface of use with microfabrication element can use same joint method to introduce required joint element.Because purpose is antibody is fixed on these unitarily formed hole surfaces, therefore the chemical substance that engages is easy to react with biopolymer especially.In one embodiment, add the 2-ethene-4 of surface engagement thing, 4-dimethyl azlactone can react rapidly with protein.Such mechanism is known to those skilled in the art, as be described in Peterson, D.S., T.Rohr, F.Svec, and J.M.J.Frechet, described in 2002, Enzymatic microreactor-on-a-chip:protein Mapping using trypsin immobilized on porous polymer monolithsmolded in channels of microfluidic devices. (enzyme chip microreactor: utilize the insulin of fixing on the porous polymer whole spare of moulding in the micro fluidic device passage to make protein profiling), Anal.Chem, 74:4081:4088.The surface that can modify (porous integral spare, perhaps microfabrication element) is immersed in the monomer solution, thereby and is to realize on the selection area engaging process with the UV light irradiation apparatus.Surface-functionalized degree is by concentration, radiated time and the control of UV light intensity of monomer in the reaction solution.
In another embodiment, insulin is fixed on by 2-ethene-4, on the porous polymer whole spare that 4-dimethyl azlactone, dimethyl ethyl and acrylamide or 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate constitute.The function of azlactone is that the amine and the mercapto reaction of easy and enzyme forms stable covalent bond.In certain embodiments, the porous feature of single piece optimization has formed low-down back pressure, makes it possible to use simple mechanism to aspirate not only to realize from solution immobilized enzyme but also realizes subsequently substrate solution analysis.The Michealls-Menten dynamic characteristic of reactor can utilize low-molecular-weight substrate, detects as N-a-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester.
People have studied the immobilization variable in great detail, the for example functionality effect of the percentage of insulin concentration and azlactone in single piece in the solution, and the reaction time is to effect and process variables such as the substrate flow velocity and the effect of the time of arrheaing in reactor of enzymatic activity.On the chip proteolytic activity of enzyme microreactor under different in flow rate along with being confirmed as the caseic cracking of the fluorescence labeling of substrate.Myoglobins digestion when the good characteristic of this integral body microreactor can also be 0.5uL/min by quick flow rate confirms that wherein the time of staying only is 11.7s.Utilize MALDI-TOFMS to characterize digest then, discerned 102 in 153 possible peptide segments, the sequence coverage rate reaches 67%.
Made huge effort and come the microfabrication analytical equipment of development of new and integrated, to make miniature analysis system (Ptas).These systems provide than life size instrument has high flux more, still less sample and reagent consumption, smaller szie and the possibility of lower operational cost more.In the various application of micro fluidic device, analytical technology, for example electrophoresis, electrochromatography, relate to the determination method of enzyme, and immunoassay has all obtained confirmation in this way.Obtain success although the micro-fluidic chip technology is undeniable, but still had some problems.For example, most micro-fluidic chip feature is open channels configuration.Therefore, the surface area of these passages and volume ratio are quite little.In depending on the application that reacts with solid phase surface, for example in chromatographic isolation, solid phase extractions and heterogeneous catalysis, it may become serious problem.Owing to have only conduit wall can be used to the interaction that provides required, described micro device can only be handled the compound of trace.
Figure 10 B is the diagram that the two-dimension analysis system is used in expression.After single piece 1027 has been provided by the object that is provided by the pump with valve 1001,1003 and 1005, single piece 1027 sealings.In one embodiment, each chamber is heated with the fusing double-stranded DNA subsequently and isolates the single stranded DNA product.According to numerous embodiments, purification occurred in 120 seconds, can reach only 200 times of concentrates of 20nL from initial 3uL.Every pipeline 1011,1013,1015,1017,1019 and 1021 all comprises being used to control or aspirate and is hunted down the valve of object to be used for further analytical procedure.
