Description

A kind of flexible microporous film and the cell separation apparatus using its preparation
Technical field
The present invention relates to biological medicines and advanced manufacturing technology field, and in particular to a kind of flexible microporous film and application its system Standby cell separation apparatus.
Background technique
In recent years, liquid Biopsy becomes tumour cell detection field one emerging important method.Relative to general Logical tumour cell detection technique, liquid Biopsy do not need tissue penetration, reduce wound, by collecting blood, urine, facing Circulation or Exfoliated tumor cells in the clinical samples such as bed irrigating solution, can be detected tumour cell through separation, capture and detection, lead to Source of the target cell as follow-up study and test can be also further amplified by crossing in situ or release culture.Due to these clinics Sample generally includes blood, urine, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, saliva, tissue digestion liquid, cerebrospinal fluid or peritoneal lavage fluid, sample volume Flux is big, and circulation or Exfoliated tumor cells content therein are few, and containing complicated structural constituent, mucus and interferes cell, And viability is poor after circulation or Exfoliated tumor cells separation, leads to the capture rate of target cell and detection in liquid Biopsy Positive rate is low.
In order to overcome this technical problem, in whole blood in all multi-methods of capture separation circulating tumor cell, from fluid The angle of mechanics is set out, it is recognized that the method for being most expected to realize large volume flux is filtering with microporous membrane, United States Patent (USP) US7846393B2 describes the method using circulating tumor cell in miillpore filter capture blood, but the patent microwell array is filtered The micropore gap size of film is big, and fluid is big to the shearing force of cell in filter process, leads to the poor activity of cell, and micropore volume It is easily organized into a point blocking, influences flux and detection positive rate.
Chinese patent CN107694347 discloses a kind of microwell array filter membrane, passes through the side of conformal deposited Parylene Formula increases porosity and the mode of reduction adjacent cells gap size increases flux, reduces section of structural constituent and background cells It stays, and increases the viability of circulating tumor cell, but tested by a large amount of clinical sample, find to face in face of complicated Bed sample, such as bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, hydrothorax or ascites, the structural constituent and cell component of bulk are all retained down, and flux is anxious Drastic change is small, it may occur that blocking, to can not achieve the detection of the circulation or Exfoliated tumor cells for complex sample.
The common gauze of clinic, steel wire, nylon wire go to separate the tissue of these bulks and mucus ingredient, then again through array Miillpore filter is separated as secondary seperation film retention, but defect of both the presence of this separation method, on the one hand, gauze, Steel wire or nylon wire micropore size are too big and homogeneity is poor, limited, the secondary separation of the bulk tissue or mucus ingredient blocked Film still has very big probability to block, second aspect, there is very that maximum probability finds tumour cell in the structural constituent of bulk, and The thickness of gauze, steel wire or nylon wire is very thick and out-of-flatness, is difficult through native staining directly in microscopic observation to capture Target cell.
If by increase Parylene array miillpore filter aperture come separate bulk structural constituent and cell at Point, do not change its thickness and homogeneity in order to which native staining is in the tumour cell of microscopic observation capture, such as make this micro- Work as porosity of=since viability of the porosity for cell has a significant impact in micropore size >=15 μm of hole array filter membrane When 50%, micropore gap is sufficiently small, and the microwell array filter membrane for meeting this micropore size and porosity meets cell separation process The demand to cells viability, but its rigidity and mechanical strength be remarkably decreased, flexibility dramatically increases, and leads to microwell array film Deformation, curling or fold, cannot form, the practicability is poor.

Since micropore size is smaller, and the thickness of flexible microporous film is thicker, and micropore has certain depth, in order to guarantee The precision of micropore, it is conformal using transoid microtrabeculae also for the separating property and liquid flux for further increasing primary seperation film 2 Sedimentation prepares the present embodiment primary seperation film, and flexible microporous film inner wall obtained is smooth, and liquid flow is out-of-date not to be generated cell Damage influence viability;The present embodiment transoid microtrabeculae conformal deposited uses Parylene for raw material, makes according to described in embodiment 4 It is prepared by Preparation Method.
When the micropore size of supporting zone 22 is sufficiently large, at 6 μm or more, mask etching method can also be used and prepared;Institute Supporting zone 22 or the not membrane structure of micropore are stated, this kind primary seperation film 2 is prepared using conventional mask etching method, It plays a supportive role to working region 21.
In order in actual use, increase the target cell being retained down to the rejection effect of target cell and raising Viability, the final stage seperation film 3 are small pore size micro-porous array filter membrane, the shapes and sizes of the micropore, according to to be separated Target cell separating effect depending on, cell separation apparatus described in the present embodiment use final stage seperation film 3 on micropore be in Array arrangement, the shape of the micropore are hexagon, and the opposite side distance of hexagon is 10 μm, less than the diameter 15 of target cell μm, guarantee the high-recovery of target cell with this, 3 μm of the width bits in adjacent cells gap, less than 4 μm of radius of background cells, So that background cells are easier to be carried away by the flow during filtrate flows, and the fluid for reducing the cell captured on micropore is cut Shear force improves the activity of capture cell, as seen in figs. 8-10.
In order to further increase to the liquid flux and separating effect in fluid sample separation process, the cell separation dress The final stage seperation film 2 set is prepared using transoid microtrabeculae conformal deposited method.
For the ease of assembling and replacing separating film module, it further includes sample introduction that the cell separation apparatus, which is split type structure, Pipe 4, connecting tube 5 and sample outlet pipe 6, the sample feeding pipe 4, connecting tube 5 and sample outlet pipe 6 are sequentially connected with to form the filter chamber 1, described Primary seperation film 2 is set to the junction of the sample feeding pipe 4 and the connecting tube 5, and the final stage seperation film 3 is set to described The junction of sample outlet pipe 6 and the connecting tube 5.
It is damaged in order to seperation film be connected in the cell separation apparatus while avoiding it occur, the primary seperation film 2 and the final stage seperation film 3 be fixed by seperation film fixture 7, the seperation film fixture 7 include magnetic coupling 71, pass through The fixed primary seperation film 2 of magnetic force and the final stage seperation film 3 have circle among the magnetic coupling 71 as shown in figure 11 The cross section in hole, the circular hole is consistent with the cross section of filter chamber 1, forms a part of filter chamber 1, the magnetic coupling 71 One end is smooth, is fixing end 711, for passing through with another 71 fixing end 711 of magnetic coupling in same seperation film fixture 7 Magnetic force clamps flexible microporous film, and 71 other end of magnetic coupling is that connecting pin 712 will be separated by being connected with connecting tube 5 Film is fixed in filter chamber 1.
Since magnetic coupling forces are weaker, in order to reinforce connection, each magnetic coupling is additionally provided with a fixed magnet ring 42, as shown in figure 12, the fixed magnet ring 72 is sheathed on the connecting pin 712 of a magnetic coupling 71.
