Description

Multidimensional microfluidic electrophoresis chip, detection device and detection method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of microorganism detection, and relates to a multi-dimensional microfluidic electrophoresis chip, and a detection device and a detection method applying the multi-dimensional microfluidic electrophoresis chip.
Background
In the existing technical field of microorganism detection, when microorganism classification detection methods and devices such as morphological characteristics, physiological and biochemical reaction characteristics and the like are adopted for microorganism detection, microorganism culture takes long time and operation is complicated; the problems of high technical difficulty, easy occurrence of false positive and high cost exist by using nucleic acid detection molecular biology technologies based on 16S amplicon sequencing, QPCR, gene chips, metagenome and macrotranscriptome and the like; the detection device based on the immune method on the protein level has higher cost, and the species which can be detected is limited by the available antibodies.
At the beginning of this century, NISHIMOTOH in patent literature (JP 2003114215A) discloses an electrophoresis chip for chemical/biological analysis, which uses a simple "cross-shaped" structure to realize a western blot. However, the above-mentioned patent techniques are still only one-dimensional gel electrophoresis techniques in fact, and there is a limitation in the separation and analysis capabilities in the face of cells, microorganisms, and other living bodies having complex protein components.
The subsequent development of electrophoretic microfluidic chips over time has focused mainly on the design of "two-dimensional" electrophoretic microfluidic chips in order to increase the separation capacity of electrophoresis. For example, elegans patent document (CN 1469123A) discloses a microfluidic chip for protein analysis and its application in protein analysis, wherein the microfluidic chip is designed to further add a basic unit comprising a plurality of channels on the basis of a "cross" structure. For another example, the chip disclosed in the patent document (CN 1779431A) of linderan comprises a second unit, which is an electrophoretic separation analysis after protein concentration. The sample introduction channel of the chip can be in a T-shaped structure. Other patent technologies related to overall structure and morphological structure adjustment of the channel further include CN2831115Y, CN1786988A, CN104148123A, CN105092677A, CN104297327A, US2014332382 a1, US 8728290B 1, and the like.
To the best of the knowledge of the inventors of the present application, non-patent document 1(Emrich C A, Medintz I L, Chu W K, et al. Microfibrous Two-Dimensional electro-phoresis Device for Differential Protein Expression [ J ] Analytical Chemistry,2007,79(19):7360 and 7366.) first mentions that the ultrafine channels are processed between Two-Dimensional channels to make connections, creating resistance to prevent diffusion and at the same time reducing the volume of diffusion. Although the ultra-fine channel design implemented in the above-mentioned documents is not uncommon in the field of electrophoresis technology, for example US2011220499 a1, JP 2005233944A. However, the design of the channel in two dimensions to improve the protein separation capability requires a comprehensive consideration of the isoelectric focusing channel characteristics and the gel electrophoresis channel characteristics, which is significantly different from the general design in the electrophoresis field. As such, many subsequent technologies of multi-dimensional electrophoresis chips are referred to by reference, for example, non-patent document 2(West J, Becker M, tombrick S, et al. micro Total Analysis Systems: last Achievements [ J ]. Analytical Chemistry,2008,80(12):4403-
However, in the actual electrophoretic separation experiment process, the design method in non-patent document 1 still has a situation that the protein separation effect is not good enough or the protein analysis effect is not obvious from the multidimensional microfluidic electrophoresis chip without adding the ultrafine channel. In view of the above, the present application first proposes to design a multi-dimensional microfluidic electrophoresis chip, which can improve the problem of poor protein separation effect. Meanwhile, a detection system is provided, which comprises the multi-dimensional microfluidic electrophoresis chip, and can be applied to analysis and identification of biological samples such as microorganisms, including but not limited to detection of biological samples such as microorganisms based on protein separation fluorescence images. Further, the method for detecting the single and mixed microorganisms comprises the step of using the detection device provided by the application to identify the single and mixed microorganisms by acquiring high-resolution separation images and utilizing an image analysis technology.
