Embodiment
With reference to specific embodiment, the present invention is expanded on further.It should be understood that these embodiments are merely to illustrate the present invention Rather than limitation the scope of the present invention.In addition, it is to be understood that after the content of the invention lectured has been read, people in the art Member can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent form of values equally fall within the application appended claims and limited Scope.
Embodiment 1
(1) chip structure
As shown in figure 1, a kind of microchamber array digital pcr chip based on PDMS material is present embodiments provided, it is described The material of chip is PDMS material, including injection port, microchamber array and outlet, the injection port include sample feeding mouthful (figure In indicate Sample injection port) and water injection port (injection port that Water is indicated in figure), the outlet goes out sample including sample Mouth and water outlet;The water injection port connects the water microchamber array positioned at chip periphery with water outlet;The sample feeding Mouth connects each reative cell in microchamber array with sample outlet by microchannel.Wherein, sample feeding mouthful is used for PCR reaction solutions Sample introduction, and water injection port be used for chip periphery water microchamber array reclaimed water sample introduction.
Microchannel is wide about 20-60 μm, high about 10-30 μm, about 100 μm of the diameter of reative cell, about 100 μm of height.Whole core Piece has reative cell 10368, and PCR reaction solutions can be divided into 10368 parts, can be independent in reative cell per portion reaction solution Enter performing PCR amplification.Because chip size is excessive, it is impossible to taken pictures by a submicroscope whole chip shooting complete, so will 10368 reative cells of chip are divided into 24 rectangular areas, and the size in each region is exactly 4 powered microscope fields Size.So, shoot all reative cells of whole chip can just be shot by 24 times and finish.
(2) chip manufacturing
First to the mixture that PDMS performed polymers and crosslinking agent are poured on silicon substrate mould;Then through processes such as standing, heating, Solidify PDMS;PDMS after solidification is peeled off from mould, and with slide key and, chip just completes.
(3) the anti-moisture evaporation design of chip
Because PDMS material is loose structure, so during PCR, the liquid in reative cell can be heated volatilization, cause The loss of moisture in reative cell, the reative cell of chip edge part can be completely evaporated because of moisture loss.As shown in Fig. 2 being Prevent this phenomena impair from being reacted to PCR, anti-moisture evaporation design as depicted is added in chip edge.Figure chips The water microchamber array of periphery, it, as evaporation sacrifice layer, is that internal PCR microchamber arrays are carried in digital pcr Thermal Cycling For wet environment, to prevent the evaporation of PCR reaction solutions.As illustrated, using cochineal dye aqueous solution test chip it is anti- Evaporability.Through 40 PCR Thermal Cyclings, the partial reaction room of only outermost aquaporin is evaporated, and internal PCR is micro- Room array, without obvious moisture loss.Above-mentioned the results show, the anti-evaporating of the chip is designed to preferable resistance The moisture loss of reative cell during PCR.
(4) design counted automatically
During digital pcr, the reative cell containing target DNA fragment can send fluorescence signal, referred to as positive reaction room.And The reative cell that there is no target DNA fragment will not then produce fluorescence signal, referred to as negative reaction room.In order to target DNA piece Duan Jinhang is quantified it may first have to which the positive reaction number of chambers mesh of chip is counted.
, first should be to positive reaction room and negative reaction room carry out area in order to realize the automatic counting to positive reaction room Point.It is the fluorescence micrograph on positive reaction room (right side) and negative reaction room (left side) shown in Fig. 3 (a);It is shown in Fig. 3 (b) Fluorescence intensity distribution along the line.As illustrated, the fluorescence intensity of the fluorescence intensity ratio negative reaction room of positive reaction room has significantly Rise.
Using Image-Pro Plus softwares (Media Cybernetics companies of the U.S.) to 500 sun randomly selecting Property reative cell and the microphoto of 500 negative reaction rooms are analyzed, as a result as shown in Figure 4.Positive reaction room is averaged Average fluorescent strength of the fluorescence intensity apparently higher than negative reaction room.
Fig. 5 is the fluorescence intensity distribution histogram of positive reaction room and negative reaction room.As illustrated, histogrammic X-axis The average fluorescent strength of each reative cell is represented, Y-axis represents the number of reative cell.It can be seen that negative reaction room In the range of fluorescence intensity is distributed mainly on 0 to 30 (unit is relative unit a.u.), and the fluorescence intensity master of positive reaction room It is distributed in the range of 100 to 140.These data illustrate that both florescent intensity values have very big difference, can be by poly- Both automatic distinguishings are opened and the number of positive reaction room are counted automatically by class algorithm.
Therefore, according to the above results, positive reaction room and negative reaction room can be carried out using k-means clustering algorithms Distinguish, and the number of positive reaction room is counted automatically.

3. experimental result:
After the completion of PCR cycle, experimental result as shown in fig. 7, being gradually reduced with added genomic DNA concentration, The number of positive reaction room is also accordingly reduced.Meanwhile, in the control group for not adding any genomic DNA, it is not observed and appoints He Yang property reative cell.By the number of positive reaction room, the copy number of DNA molecular in standard items to be detected can be calculated.Tool Body computational methods are:
If chip total positives reative cell number is n, if chip reative cell number is set to N.Due to DNA molecular in the reaction chamber Number x meet Poisson distribution, then according to the distribution function of Poisson distribution:
λ is the expectation of Poisson distribution in formula 3.1, and P (x) is general when DNA molecular number is x in each reative cell Rate.Due to containing 0 target dna molecule, then having in negative reaction room:
The desired value λ of Poisson distribution calculation formula can be released by formula 3.2:
As molecular number x in reative cell >=1, the reative cell will produce fluorescence and as positive reaction room, so having following Formula:
Formula 3.4 is brought into formula 3.3, you can draw:
λ is the expectation in Poisson distribution, i.e., the desired value of molecule amount occur inside single reative cell, so only needing to use The number N that λ is multiplied by overall reaction room can draw total copy number copy_number of target DNA molecule:
Copy_number=λ × N (3.6)
By the total copy number copy_number divided by volume v of initial sample, you can obtain the initial dense of target dna molecule Degree:
So far, by mathematical computations, the copy number and concentration of target DNA molecule in sample have been accurately obtained.
Target dna molecule concentration and the linear relationship curve of its actual concentrations that Fig. 8 measures for experiment, as illustrated, inspection The range of linearity of survey is 10copy/ μ L to 5 × 104copy/ μ L (R2=0.9999).The result shows that chip is to DNA molecular It is quantitative accurate, and the linearity is good.Meanwhile, minimum detection limit has reached 10 molecules.Result above proves, the chip can be with Absolute quantitation for target dna molecule is detected.
