Description

Microfluidic chip and analysis system
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of centrifugal microfluidics, in particular to a microfluidic chip and an analysis system.
Background
Microfluidics (Microfluidics) refers to the manipulation of liquids on a sub-millimeter scale, which is typically several microns to several hundred microns. Microfluidic technology integrates the functions of the entire laboratory, including sampling, dilution, reaction, separation, detection, etc., into a single small Chip, so it is also called Lab-on-a-Chip. The chip generally comprises various liquid storage tanks and a micro-channel network which is connected with each other, can shorten the sample processing time, and realizes the maximum utilization efficiency of reagent consumables by precisely controlling the liquid flow. Microfluidic systems refer to devices that manipulate liquids on a sub-millimeter scale. Centrifugal microfluidics belongs to a branch of microfluidics, and particularly relates to a method for driving liquid to flow by rotating a centrifugal microfluidic chip, so that the liquid is controlled on a sub-millimeter scale by using centrifugal force. Centrifugal microfluidics integrates basic operational units involved in biological and chemical fields into a small disc-shaped (disc-shaped) chip. In addition to the advantages specific to microfluidics, the overall device is more compact since only one motor is required for centrifugal microfluidics to provide the force required for liquid manipulation. And the ubiquitous centrifugal field on the disc chip can not only make liquid drive more effective and ensure that no liquid remains in the pipeline, but also can effectively realize sample separation based on density difference and make parallel processing simpler. Therefore, centrifugal microfluidics is also increasingly used in point-of-care diagnostics.
Molecular diagnostics based on PCR amplification generally comprise the following steps: sample cracking, nucleic acid purification, nucleic acid amplification under the constraint of specific primers, and fluorescent signal acquisition and analysis. In some molecular diagnostic projects, because the sample is relatively simple, amplification can be performed directly after sample lysis; on the other hand, the emergence of the one-step DNA extraction amplification kit which is mature day by day also makes direct amplification of the sample after lysis possible, and avoids the complex step of nucleic acid purification. However, in the molecular diagnostic system based on PCR amplification, a partitioned laboratory is generally constructed because aerosol contamination occurs during PCR amplification and cross-contamination between samples is avoided. The laboratory needs to realize the partition operation of sample treatment, nucleic acid extraction and PCR amplification, and has a good ventilation system, the building cost of the laboratory is high, and the laboratory is often built only by large-scale medical institutions. On the other hand, laboratory operators need to be certified and on duty, and labor cost is greatly increased. Meanwhile, too much manual intervention will bring about manual operation errors. These problems greatly raise the technical use threshold for PCR-based molecular diagnostics.
In addition, the current molecular diagnosis laboratory mode finishes operations of multiple samples and multiple detection projects in a centralized experiment field, and the requirement on process quality control is high. In addition, the current molecular diagnosis laboratory mode is generally a multi-sample single-index detection mode, the detection indexes are limited, and the screening of single-sample multi-index infectious pathogens cannot be realized. In addition, although the advantages of molecular diagnosis technology are obvious, the steps are complicated, the process is time-consuming, professional operation is required, and the construction cost of a clinical molecular diagnosis laboratory is generally high, so that the molecular diagnosis is expensive.

Figure BDA0002040346900000153
The distance between the top position of the lysis chamber flow channel 141 and the rotation center is less than or equal to the distance between the top position of the sample enrichment chamber 140 and the rotation center, that is, the distance between the top position of the lysis chamber flow channel 141 and the sample application chamber 120 is less than the distance between the top position of the sample enrichment chamber 140 and the sample application chamber 120; the sample output conduit 161 has a first direction change region and a second direction change region. With the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 8, in a specific application, a sample is loaded into the loading chamber 120 through the loading hole 110 when the microfluidic chip is at rest. Subsequently, the microfluidic chip is centrifuged at high speed, and the sample fills the sample enrichment chamber 140 through the sample chamber flow channel 121. In various embodiments, the high speed centrifugation is performed at a speed of about 3000rpm to about 6000 rpm. When the sample fills the sample enrichment chamber, the liquid in the sample enrichment chamber 140 cannot enter the subsequent reaction chamber through the sample output pipe 161 due to the presence of the first phase change valve 162. The presence of a control structure, such as a phase change valve, in the lysis chamber flow conduit 141 or the gas flow conduit 151 results in the first waste chamber 150 being in a sealed state such that liquid in the sample enrichment chamber cannot flow into the first waste chamber 150 via the lysis chamber flow conduit 141. The lysis chamber flow channel 141 may be a normal liquid flow channel or may additionally have a control structure such as a phase change valve structure, which may also be referred to as a phase change valve, or a siphon valve structure, which may also be referred to as a siphon valve. For example, the lysis chamber flow channel 141 is a normal fluid flow channel, and then the high-speed centrifugation is continued while the sample fills the sample enrichment chamber 140, and the cells, tissues, pathogens in the sample due to the centrifugal fieldThe supernatant will be deposited to the bottom of the sample enrichment chamber 140, and the supernatant will overflow into the first waste liquid chamber 150 via the lysis chamber circulation line 141, thus realizing the function of sample enrichment; in other embodiments, a filter membrane may be added to the sample enrichment chamber 140, and the enrichment of cells, tissues, pathogens, etc. in the sample may be achieved by filtering through the filter membrane. Or, the lysis chamber circulation line 141 has a siphon valve or a phase change valve, and then the sample can be sufficiently enriched in the sample enrichment chamber 140 by high-speed centrifugation, and then when the lysis chamber circulation line 141 has a siphon valve formed by a siphon line, the rotation speed is reduced so that the supernatant in the sample enrichment chamber 140 breaks through the siphon valve of the lysis chamber circulation line 141 and enters the first waste liquid chamber 150, or when the lysis chamber circulation line 141 has a third phase change valve, the third phase change valve is opened by heating or other phase change methods so that the supernatant in the sample enrichment chamber 140 breaks through the third phase change valve of the lysis chamber circulation line 141 and enters the first waste liquid chamber 150. In some embodiments for specific applications, the centrifuged cell debris can be sufficiently settled to the bottom of the sample enrichment chamber 140 by first performing medium-high speed centrifugation to prevent the cell debris from inhibiting the subsequent PCR reaction. In some embodiments of specific applications, slow acceleration to high speed may also be used to deposit the cell debris on the bottom of the sample enrichment chamber 140 and to introduce the lysed liquid into the dilution lysis chamber 170 via the sample output tube 161. Further, when a control structure is present in the lysis chamber flow conduit 141, the vent 220 may be located at the top of either the first waste chamber 150 or the second waste chamber 200; however, when a control structure such as a phase change valve is present somewhere on the gas flow conduit 151, the gas outlet 220 may be located only at the top of the second waste liquid chamber 200. After the cells, tissues and pathogens in the sample are fully precipitated, the siphon valve breakthrough at the flow pipeline 141 of the lysis chamber is realized by changing the centrifugal rotating speed and adopting a low-speed centrifugal mode, or the phase change valve breakthrough at a certain part of the flow pipeline 141 of the lysis chamber or a certain part of the gas flow pipeline 151 is realized by heating. At this time, the supernatant in the sample enrichment chamber 140 will flow into the first waste liquid chamber 150 until the liquid level in the sample enrichment chamber 140 is lower than the lysis chamber flow line 141 for sample enrichmentAn inlet in the cavity 140.

Phase change materials used to seal the phase change valve include, but are not limited to, paraffin. Because the volume of the liquid after the cracking is limited, the distance between the liquid level in the dilution cracking cavity 170 and the centrifugal center, i.e., the rotation center, is larger than the distance between the siphon pipe 180 and the centrifugal center, i.e., the liquid level in the dilution cracking cavity 170 is lower than the siphon pipe 180, i.e., the liquid level in the dilution cracking cavity 170 is lower than the communication position between the dilution cracking cavity 170 and the siphon pipe 180, before the dilution, no matter how large the centrifugal force is, the liquid in the dilution cracking cavity 170 cannot break through the siphon pipe 180 and enter the subsequent reaction cavity.
