The electrodes of the microfluidic chip for cell separation and capture based on the dielectrophoresis principle are all ITO thin film electrodes or metal thin film electrodes.
The working principle of the microfluidic chip for cell separation and capture based on the dielectrophoresis principle described in this embodiment is described in detail below with a mixed solution composed of yeast cells and PS microspheres as an implementation object:
a cell sorting part:
the expression of the time-averaged dielectrophoretic force acting on the particles when the electric field is applied is:
Figure BDA0001788720680000081
Figure BDA0001788720680000082
ε*=ε-j(σ/ω) (3)
in the formula (I), the compound is shown in the specification,<FD>for the time-averaged dielectrophoretic force acting on the particles, r is the particle radius, K (w) is the Clausius-Moxolitin factor, Re [ K (w)]And Im [ K (w)]Respectively the real part and the imaginary part of the Clausius-Moxoy factor, E is the electric field intensity, the wave line is the complex amplitude, and the complex conjugate is the complex number;
Figure BDA0001788720680000083
and
Figure BDA0001788720680000084
are respectively granule and slowThe complex dielectric constant of the rinsing solution;
ε represents a dielectric constant, and σ represents an electric conductivity.
From equation 1, the dielectrophoretic force is mainly dependent on the non-uniformity of the electric field and k (w). The first term of equation 1 is the conventional dielectrophoretic force, when Re [ k (w) ], is positive or negative, the particles will be subjected to either positive or negative dielectrophoretic forces, causing the particles to be attracted to or away from the strong electric field area. The second term of equation 1 is traveling wave dielectrophoresis (twDEP), when Im [ K (w) ] is positive or negative, the particles will move in the direction of the electric field phase increase or decrease.
FIG. 4 is a graph of Clausius-Moxoti factor as a function of voltage frequency for yeast cells and PS microspheres. As can be seen from FIG. 4, when the voltage frequency is in the range of 100kHz-40MHz, the yeast cells are subjected to positive dielectrophoretic force, and the PS microspheres are subjected to negative dielectrophoretic force.
Experiments show that when the amplitude of the voltage is 10V and the frequency is more than 1MHz, the negative dielectrophoresis repulsion velocity of the PS microspheres in the buffer solution with the conductivity of 0.1S/m is about 0.17mm/S, and the positive dielectrophoresis attraction velocity of the yeast cells in the buffer solution with the conductivity of 0.1S/m is about 0.03 mm/S. Therefore, when the flow rate of the buffer solution is 0.04mm/s to 0.16mm/s, the PS microspheres will move along the tilted driving electrode array 3 due to the moving speed of the PS microspheres being greater than the flow rate of the buffer solution, and finally leave the separation region 16 through the fifth flow channel 11. Since the moving speed of the yeast cells is less than the flow speed of the buffer solution, the yeast cells will enter the fourth flow channel 10 and the sixth flow channel 12 along with the buffer solution.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the separation process of yeast cells and PS microspheres under the conditions that the first splayed structure and the third splayed structure are applied with voltage with the amplitude of 20Vpp and the frequency of 1MHz and the flow rate of the buffer solution is 0.1 mm/s. Fig. 6 is the overlay of fig. 5 after 10 seconds. As can be seen from fig. 5 and 6, the microfluidic chip for cell separation and capture based on the dielectrophoresis principle according to this embodiment can effectively separate yeast cells from PS microspheres.
The single cell capture section is illustrated by the first bipolar electrode array 4: bipolar electrode means a conductor immersed in the electrolyte between the anode and the cathode that is not connected to an external power source. When a bipolar electrode is placed in a microfluidic channel, a potential drop is formed in the solution when a certain driving DC potential is applied. The bipolar electrode is an equipotential body and the potentials are the same, thus creating an overpotential at the interface of the bipolar electrode and the solution. An electric double layer is formed at both ends of the bipolar electrode, and when an overpotential on the bipolar electrode is sufficiently large, an electrochemical reaction will occur. Based on the characteristics of the bipolar electrodes, an electrochemical array of a plurality of wireless bipolar electrodes is designed between two driving electrodes, and the two driving electrodes can drive each bipolar electrode to generate electrochemical reaction. When the applied driving voltage is a high-frequency alternating current signal rather than a direct current signal (i.e. the frequency of the electric field is higher than the rate of electron transfer in the redox reaction), the electrochemical reaction is suppressed and the electric double layer at both ends of the bipolar electrode will generate capacitive charge-discharge effect. The electric field strength at the edges of the bipolar electrode will be greatest and the electric field strength in the middle region of the bipolar electrode will be smallest. Therefore, the bipolar electrode is not only suitable for large-scale wireless array design, but also the distribution of the electric field can be adjusted by changing the size of the bipolar electrode.
In the first bipolar electrode array 4 of the present embodiment, the ninth to twelfth driving electrodes 35 to 38 are used to apply a rotating electric field around the bipolar electrode array body 39, and further capture cells to a region with low field intensity energy by using negative dielectrophoretic force. Compared with the existing single cell capturing mode of capturing the cells to the region with high field intensity energy by using positive dielectrophoresis force, the single cell capturing mode of the embodiment has less adverse effect on the cells because the cells are captured to the region with low field intensity energy, and is beneficial to subsequent cell analysis work.
FIG. 7 is a diagram of an experiment showing the capture of single yeast cell by the bipolar electrode array body 39 when the diameter of a single bipolar electrode is 25 μm, the gap between two adjacent bipolar electrodes is 50 μm, the frequency of the applied voltage is 500KHz, and the amplitude is 10 Vpp. According to experimental data, the capture efficiency of the single saccharomycete cell is up to 75%. Therefore, the microfluidic chip for cell separation and capture based on the dielectrophoresis principle described in the embodiment can perform efficient capture on single cells.
The preparation method of the microfluidic chip for cell separation and capture based on the dielectrophoresis principle described in this embodiment is performed according to the following steps:
firstly, processing a PDMS channel:
