Description

A kind of ultrasonic sealing method based on the micro- energy-oriented-ridge of laser recast
Technical field
The invention belongs to thermoplastic polymer micro-fluidic chip ultrasounds to seal technical field, and in particular to one kind being based on laser The ultrasonic sealing method of the micro- energy-oriented-ridge of recast.
Background technology
Micro-fluidic chip based on microflow control technique just receives more after early 1990s are suggested Carry out more concerns.Micro-fluidic chip can concentrate the mixing in biochemical analysis, and it is flat that the operations such as dilution and separation are integrated into number On the chip of square centimetre of size.High, sample and examination with small, integrated and high degree of automation, analysis efficiency and precision The advantages that agent consumption is few.Obtained in the fields such as detection immediately in water pollution monitoring, drug screening, cell control sorting and disease Extensive use is arrived.Thermoplastic, polymeric materials are easy to be molded since its is at low cost, it is easy to accomplish the advantages such as mass production, The main material of manufacture micro-fluidic chip is become gradually.
Thermoplastic polymer micro-fluidic chip is generally made of at least double-layer structure, therefore the sealing of chip is that it was manufactured An indispensable step in journey.Present most common thermoplastic polymer micro-fluidic chip sealing method is heat sealing and sticker envelope It closes.Wherein, heat sealing required temperature is high, the biological reagent inactivation be easy to causeing in chip.And heat sealing efficiency is low, when sealing Between more than 20 minutes.Moreover, due to apply higher temperature and pressure during heat sealing, so chip microchannel Easily by compressive deformation.Sticker sealing can operate at room temperature, but glued membrane used is easy and the biological reagent in chip Generate bio-compatible sex chromosome mosaicism.And glued membrane is easy obstruction chip microchannel.
Ultrasound sealing in contrast has some superiority.Ultrasonic energy concentrates on being referred to as leading energy when ultrasound seals first In the microprotrusion of muscle.With a certain distance from having from microchannel due to energy-oriented-ridge, the heat generated will not be to the biology in microchannel Reagent has an impact.Secondly as ultrasound sealing in do not need other intermediate mediums, therefore not will produce bio-compatibility and in Between dielectrically inhibited microchannel the problem of.Finally, ultrasound sealing is efficient, and the envelope to micro-fluidic chip can be completed in one minute It closes.And ultrasonic sealing strength is high, can reach the strength of materials of thermoplastic polymer itself, this is for needing high-pressure work ring The micro-fluidic chip in border is significant.
However, there are still some problems for ultrasonic sealing technology at this stage.Wherein most distinct issues are ultrasound sealing essences Degree is not high.The reason of causing this problem is that under ultrasonic energy effect melt-flow can occur for energy-oriented-ridge when ultrasound is sealed, The energy-oriented-ridge of melting easily flows into microchannel and causes to block, or on sealing interface leaves a void that reagent is caused to leak. Most of solution is to manufacture and design special molten bath structure by energy-oriented-ridge now, to make the energy-oriented-ridge of melting flow into Into molten bath structure.But under minute yardstick, energy-oriented-ridge and molten bath manufacture and design complicated, and need according to different micro-fluidic Chip structure is customized.A kind of ultrasonic sealing method based on the micro- energy-oriented-ridge of laser recast proposed by the present invention can solve This problem is of great significance for the sealing of micro-fluidic chip high-precision ultrasound.
