Technical field
The invention belongs to field of biological detection, particularly, relate to and be a kind ofly applicable to the temperature conditioning unit of bio-chip test device and possess the bio-chip test device of this temperature conditioning unit.
Background technology
Biochip (biochip), also known as protein chip or gene chip, a large amount of probe molecule be fixed on after on upholder and be with fluorescently-labeled DNA or other sample molecules (such as albumen, the factor or small molecules) hybridize, by detecting the hybridization signal intensities of each probe molecule and then obtaining quantity and the sequence information of sample molecule.Biochip is according to interactional principle special between biomolecules, by biochemical analysis process integration in chip surface, thus realizes the high-throughput rapid detection to DNA, RNA, polypeptide, protein and other biological composition.
Along with the development of biochip technology, on the basis of micro-array chip in early days, have developed micro-fluidic chip again.So-called microfluidic chip technology (microfluidics) is that biological, chemistry, medical analysis process the basic operation unit such as sample preparation, reaction, separation, detection is integrated on chip piece, automatically completes analysis whole process.Micro-fluidic chip can comprise the structure of various micro-scale, and such as fluid channel, micro-valve, Micropump etc., can make to flow back and forth between fluid each position on chip, or for reacting with fluid reagent.Because micro-fluidic chip is in the great potential in the field such as biology, chemistry, medical science, develop into the brand-new research field of the subject crossing such as biology, chemistry, medical science, fluid, electronics, material, a machinery.
In addition, polymerase chain reaction (polymerasechainreaction, PCR) technology is a kind of common technology of DNA amplification, is trace/requisite means of trace level biomolecule detection.Round pcr be utilize DNA in vitro about 95 DEG C high temperature time variations Celsius can become strand, time low temperature (being often about 60 DEG C), primer is combined with the principle of strand by base pair complementarity, temperature regulating is to archaeal dna polymerase optimal reactive temperature (about 72 DEG C) again, the direction composition complementary strand of archaeal dna polymerase along phosphoric acid to five-carbon sugar (5 '-3 ').
Namely, PCR is the three warm working cyclees carrying out sex change, annealing and extension within specified temperatures, and often complete a temperature cycle, the quantity of DNA component is doubled, namely with 2 nform increase progressively.Usually, through 20-30 temperature cycle, DNA will be expanded to 1,000,000 times.The key of PCR reaction is repetition and controlled circulation temperature, can realize the amplification amplification of DNA fragmentation thus, be widely used in scientific research and medical science at present.
The PCR microflow controlled biochip combining above-mentioned micro-fluidic chip and round pcr advantage is a large important development direction of field of biological detection in recent years, when using PCR microflow controlled biochip to detect, needs to carry out heating/cooling control to biochip.In the prior art, also have developed the various bio-chip test device being applicable to PCR microflow controlled biochip.
On this type of PCR microflow controlled biochip, be typically provided with multiple entry/exit liquid mouth and the multiple reactive tanks for holding reactant, this biochip is also formed multiple fluid channel that can connect entry/exit liquid mouth and reactive tank.When using bio-chip test device to detect, testing sample (such as PCR reaction mixture) is flowed into by the fluid inlet be located on biochip, and flows into reactive tank after making this testing sample flow through corresponding fluid channel by suitable pneumatic control.Controlled by the heating/cooling circulated to reactive tank, the testing sample in reactive tank can be made to realize amplification cycles, the DNA amount of this testing sample can be made after n circulation with 2 nform amplification.Finally fluoroscopic examination is carried out to the testing sample after amplification.Such as irradiate by laser source and send fluorescence, gathered by photosensor and after opto-electronic conversion the electrical signal of exportable fluorescent value.In above-mentioned biochip, multiple reactive tank can be such as be respectively used to the example reaction groove of testing sample and/or the contrast reactive tank for control group.In use, need to carry out heating/cooling control to multiple reactive tank simultaneously.
