In the prior art, a microfluidic chip is a system for controlling the flow of a micro-volume fluid in a micro-channelSystem in which the channels have dimensions of tens to hundreds of microns and the quantity of carrier fluid is 10-9-10-18And L. The operation units of the microfluidic chip are mutually communicated through the flow of fluid in the microchannel network. The microfluid control is the core of the operation of the microfluidic chip laboratory, and the related processes of sample introduction, mixing, reaction, separation and the like are all completed in the motion of the controllable fluid. Valves are the core component of fluid control, whether macroscopic or microscopic. Due to its importance, the development of micro valves has attracted much attention as early as the birth of microfluidic chips. In theory, all parts capable of controlling the closed and opened states of the micro-channel can be used as micro-valves in the micro-fluidic chip. An ideal microvalve should have the following characteristics: low leakage, low power consumption, fast response speed, linear operation capability and wide application range. The microfluid and the micro valve form a complete set of microfluidic chip system.
The core of the microfluidic analysis is that a microfluidic chip is utilized to integrate basic operation units such as sample pretreatment, biological and chemical reactions, separation and detection and the like on a chip with a micro-channel network or a nano-channel network, and a complex analysis process is completed by controlling a fluid, so that the microfluidic analysis chip has the advantages of less consumption of samples and reagents, short analysis time, high flux, easiness in realization of large-scale parallel determination and the like. The micro-fluidic analysis technology can be used for conveniently realizing the miniaturization, integration and portability of the analysis system. At present, the system is widely applied to the fields of life science, disease diagnosis and treatment, drug synthesis and screening and the like.
Exosome is a nano-scale vesicle which is secreted by cells and contains a plurality of substances such as lipid, protein, mRNAs and the like, the exosome is widely distributed in a human body, and most of body fluids of the human body such as urine, blood, milk, saliva and the like contain exosome. Exosomes mainly have two major functions of substance transmission and information transmission in human bodies. Research shows that exosome plays an important role in the inflammation process, adaptive immunity, embryogenesis, and the generation and development process of tumor. However, how to effectively separate exosomes from body fluid and detect exosomes still remains a great challenge, and the separation methods such as ultracentrifugation and ultrafiltration which are commonly used at present are time-consuming and labor-consuming, and the purity of products is difficult to guarantee.
The microfluidic chip technology has the advantages of greatly reducing sample consumption, saving labor and time cost, realizing automation and high-flux experiments in a centimeter square space and the like, is widely concerned, and also occupies a place in the field of exosome research.
