In addition, embodiments in accordance with the present invention, can also be magnetic according to cell band and be separated.Cell band is magnetic, and is broadly divided into two kinds, one kind is that itself band is magnetic, such as red blood cell, and because red blood cell contains hemoglobin, hemoglobin is ferritin, therefore red blood cell has paramagnetism, it is possible to handled by deoxygenated, improves its magnetic;It is another be by can specificity capture aim cell antibody, aptamers etc. and magnetic microsphere connection, by antigen-antibody reaction, make specificity Cell there is magnetic.Have magnetic cell by externally-applied magnetic field, magnetic cell can be separated with non-magnetic cell, as shown in Fig. 6.According to one embodiment of present invention, the micro fluidic device is further provided with magnet.Thus, it is possible to be magnetic based on cell band, and realize the separation to cell.Embodiments in accordance with the present invention, the set location of magnet is not particularly restricted, as long as enabling to microfluidic channel to be in the range of the effective magnetic field of magnet, embodiments in accordance with the present invention, the lower section of microfluidic channel can be disposed a magnet within, thus, it is possible to further improve separative efficiency.According to one embodiment of present invention, the width of the microfluidic channel is 0.5 millimeter, and length is 50 millimeters.Thus, it is possible to further improve the single celled efficiency of separation.
Micro fluidic device(Because chip is the primary clustering of realizing apparatus function, thus referred to herein as micro-fluidic chip), can be prepared from known compounds by those skilled in the known methods.The making material of micro-fluidic chip includes silicon, glass, quartz, poly- Yue Ji Bing Women acid Yue esters(Poly (methylmethacrylate), PMMA), polystyrene(Polystyrene), poly- carbonic acid tenth of the twelve Earthly Branches purport(Polycarbonate) ^ polyethylene(Polyethylene) ^ silicon rubber(Such as poly- two Yue radical siloxanes (poly (dimethylsiloxane), PDMS), epoxy resin etc..Seem silicon, glass, quartz etc., ^ is carried out using the method for wet etching:The processing of structure channel;High when making depth-width ratio, structure is compared with ^:, it is necessary to carry out the processing of micro-structural using the method for deep reaction ion etching during thin silicon;And the high polymer material chip of heat curing-type is made, such as PDMS, epoxy resin are typically necessary structure mould, can be made of silicon, glass, optical cement, PDMS etc..Make the method for mould and typically have profound light, it is LIGA (Lithographie galvanoformung and abformung), profound1It is worm, soft profound1The technology such as worm power mouthful work.' and then utilize the method for cast to make micro-structured channels;And the high polymer of thermoplastics type, such as makrolon, PMMA, it is general to be made using the method for hot pressing.Some high polymer materials, such as PMMA, polystyrene can use the method for laser ablation to be made.Determine whether biological sample has the method and system of hereditary variation
In the second aspect of the present invention, the present invention proposes whether a kind of determination biological sample has the method for hereditary variation.Embodiments in accordance with the present invention, this method can comprise the following steps:
First, using foregoing micro fluidic device, cell sample is separated from biological sample, micro fluidic device is previously with regard to and detailed description has been carried out, do not repeating.It should be noted that all feature and advantage being previously with regard to described by micro fluidic device are applicable the method for determining whether biological sample has hereditary variation.
Next, at least a portion to the inhereditary material included in separated cell sample is expanded, to obtain amplified production.Term " inhereditary material " used in herein should be interpreted broadly, and it refers to that included in cell sample any material of its hereditary information can be carried, and can be that DNA can also be R A, can be full-length genome or transcript profile.According to one embodiment of present invention, the biological sample is at least one selected from blood, body fluid, tissue sample and cell culture.Thus, it is possible to it is effectively unicellular from biological sample separation, so as to improve the efficiency of subsequent analysis. According to one embodiment of present invention, the cell sample be selected from erythroblast, tumour cell, embryonic stem cell, immunocyte at least one.It is preferred that the cell sample is at least one selected from fetal nucleated red blood and circulating tumor cell.Thus, it is possible to effectively unicellular the detecting to the separation of the biological specimen of particular source.According to one embodiment of present invention, at least a portion progress amplification to the inhereditary material included in separated cell sample further comprises:Separated cell sample is cracked, to discharge the inhereditary material of the cell sample;And the inhereditary material discharged is expanded, to obtain the amplified production.Thus, it is possible to effectively expand inhereditary material from separated cell.According to one embodiment of present invention, separated cell sample is cracked using lytic reagent, wherein, the lytic reagent is at least one selected from potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, SDS and Proteinase K.Thus, it is possible to further improve the efficiency of amplification inhereditary material.Furthermore it is also possible to be cracked by physical method to cell sample, for example, cell sample is placed in acoustic wavefield, crack cell;By being heated to cell, crack cell.In order that low-abundance nucleic acid meets the demand being subsequently sequenced, it is necessary to carry out the extraction and amplification of full-length genome and transcript profile to it in individual cells.The extracting method of individual cells nucleic acid is various, and the genome or mR A in individual cells can be extracted using commercial kit;The amplification of genome or transcript profile can also directly be carried out, the extraction without carrying out nucleic acid according to the strategy in the technology such as MDA or transcript amplification after cracking;Or micro-fluidic technology is used, such as liquid-solid extraction, liquid-liquid extraction method extract genome or transcript profile;And unicellular full-length genome or the main method of full transcript profile amplification are the technology such as MDA, DOP-PCR, cDNA exponential amplification and the linear amplification based on T7 R A polymerases.Thus, according to one embodiment of present invention, the inhereditary material is the unicellular full-length genome of the cell sample.Thus, it is possible to effectively by the way that unicellular full-length genome is sequenced, and determine the hereditary information of sample.According to one embodiment of present invention, at least one progress that amplification is amplified reaction by PCR-based and isothermal amplification reactions is carried out to the inhereditary material that is discharged.It is preferred that, it is by MDA, DOP-PCR, cDNA exponential amplification and at least one progress of the RNA linear amplifications based on T7 RNA polymerases to carry out amplification to the inhereditary material discharged.Thus, it is possible to further improve the efficiency expanded to full-length genome.
After amplified production is obtained, resulting amplified production is sequenced, to obtain sequencing result.According to one embodiment of present invention, sequencing is carried out to the amplified production to further comprise:For the amplified production, sequencing library is built;And the sequencing library is sequenced, to obtain the sequencing result.Thus, it is possible to which effectively amplified production is sequenced.According to one embodiment of present invention, the genome sequencing library is sequenced using at least one selected from second generation high-flux sequence platform and third generation high-flux sequence platform and the sequencing library is sequenced.Thus, it is possible to further improve sequencing efficiency.Sequencing mainly has two major classes at present, and a class is the high throughput sequencing technologies of the second generation, includes the Gemone Anayzer systems of Illumina companies(I.e.
