Description

Device for rapidly detecting number of bacteria in beverage
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of bacteria counting, in particular to a device for rapidly detecting the number of bacteria in a beverage.
Background
The flow cytometer is an analysis instrument taking flow cytometry as a technical core, and can perform multi-parameter and rapid quantitative analysis and sorting on cells or biological particles in a rapid linear flow state, so that the flow cytometer has important application in the fields of clinical medicine, cell biology and the like. The flow cytometer is mainly divided into 4 parts, namely a liquid flow system, an optical system, a detection system and a data acquisition and analysis system, and the flow cytometer with the sorting function also comprises a sorting system.
The liquid flow system comprises a flow chamber and a liquid flow driving system, wherein in the flow chamber, hydrodynamic focusing is realized through a sheath flow technology, a stable liquid flow of single cell arrangement is formed in a channel, and cells in a suspension state pass through a detection area one by one at a high speed at a specific position. For example, chinese patent publication No. CN204903352U discloses a flow cytometer sheath fluid flow chamber, which includes a sheath flow chamber, a sample injection needle, and a sheath flow chamber upper end cap, wherein the center of the sheath flow chamber upper end cap is provided with a sample injection needle hole; the sample injection needle enters from a needle hole of the sample injection needle; the sheath flow chamber upper end cover is provided with a sheath liquid adding groove, a sheath flow channel hole and a sheath liquid drainage plate; the lower part of the sheath flow chamber is provided with a fluid focusing part, and the bottom of the fluid focusing part is provided with a sheath flow outlet. After the sample liquid to be measured and the sheath liquid respectively flow in through the sample injection needle and the sheath flow chamber, the two liquids coaxially flow, the sheath liquid surrounds the sample liquid to be measured and stably flows, then in the focusing part, the liquid flow enters the part with the smaller sectional area from the part with the larger sectional area, the focusing contraction effect is achieved, the diameter of the focused fluid is restricted in a certain range, and cells in the fluid are singly arranged.
After a stable flow of a single cell array is formed using the above-described fluidic system, cell counting can be performed, but when such flow cytometry is used to detect the number of bacteria in a beverage, the following problems arise: (1) the liquid flow system is complicated, the pipeline is long, the cleaning is inconvenient, and the cross contamination of the bacteria-containing sample is difficult to avoid. The practical detection experiment result shows that after the bacteria-containing sample (such as euthanasia) is detected, the sample needs to be cleaned for more than half an hour, so that the bacterial signal of the sample cannot be detected, and the long cleaning time means that the flow cytometer is not suitable for the rapid detection of the quantity of bacteria in the beverage; in addition, the bacteria are different from the animal and plant cells, the latter cannot reproduce after being separated from the environments such as proper culture solution, pH, temperature and the like, the former has strong reproduction capacity, and the fluid system is easy to breed bacteria and cause flow path abandonment as the dead angle is not cleaned. (2) The sample liquid and sheath liquid required by the flow cytometer are too large in volume (because the pipeline is long and the inner diameter is large), so that the consumption of the fluorescent dye is large, and the experiment cost is high. For a single experiment, the flow cytometer requires preparation of a sample fluid volume of typically 1mL, and the cost of staining a single sample is 40-100 yuan, calculated from the cost of Bacterial nucleic acid fluorescent dyes (e.g., LIVE/DEAD. sup. hatch. negative sensitivity Kit). (3) The flow cytometer is designed for cell detection, but not for bacteria detection, and since the sizes of bacteria and cells are not in an order of magnitude, the detection capability of the flow cytometer for bacteria is basically close to the detection lower limit, so that there is a high possibility that a plurality of bacteria are detected together, and it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of the detection result.

The specific technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
the device for rapidly detecting the number of bacteria in the beverage comprises a fluid module, a detection module and a control module, wherein the fluid module comprises a microfluidic chip; the microfluidic chip comprises a chip substrate, and a sheath flow inlet, a sample inlet, a waste liquid outlet, a sheath flow inlet channel, a first sheath flow branch, a second sheath flow branch, a sample channel, a focusing fluid channel, a sheath flow fulcrum and a sample focusing point which are arranged on the chip substrate; the two ends of the sheath flow inflow channel are respectively connected with the sheath flow inlet and the sheath flow fulcrum; both ends of the first sheath flow branch and the second sheath flow branch are respectively connected with a sheath flow fulcrum and a sample focusing point; the sample inlet and the sample channel are arranged between the first sheath flow branch and the second sheath flow branch; two ends of the sample channel are respectively connected with the sample inlet and the sample focusing point; two ends of the focusing fluid channel are respectively connected with the sample focusing point and the waste liquid outlet; an optical detection area is arranged in the middle of the focusing fluid channel.
The invention realizes hydrodynamic focusing by utilizing the principle of a microfluidic chip laminar flow technology, and the specific mechanism process is as follows: in the microfluidic chip, sheath liquid enters from a sheath inflow port, passes through a sheath flow inflow channel, then branches at a sheath flow branch point, and flows into a first sheath flow branch and a second sheath flow branch; the sample liquid to be detected enters from the sample inlet, and after passing through the sample channel, the sample liquid and the sheath liquid are converged at a sample focusing point, the sheath liquid is annularly wrapped outside the sample liquid to be detected to realize hydrodynamic focusing, and the focusing fluid enters the focusing fluid channel to perform cell number detection in the optical detection area. By controlling the flow rate ratio of the sheath fluid to the sample fluid to be detected, the diameter of the focused fluid can be controlled, and cells can be singly arranged in the fluid.
Compared with the existing flow cytometry, the microfluidic chip is applied to the bacteria quantity detection device for hydrodynamic focusing, has a simple structure and a short flow path, is easy to clean, can prevent bacteria from remaining in the flow path to cause cross contamination, and can realize cell quantity detection by a small amount of samples, so that the consumption of fluorescent dye can be greatly reduced, and the detection cost is reduced. In addition, the flow chamber in the flow cytometer adopts micro-precision numerical control processing, so that the technical difficulty is high, the yield is low, and the cost is very high (one set of flow chamber is sold at a price of tens of thousands yuan); the micro-fluidic chip adopted by the invention has low consumable cost, and the selling price of a single chip is usually between hundreds and thousands of yuan, so that the hardware cost can be obviously reduced.
In addition, in the invention, the sheath liquid flows into the channel through the section of sheath flow before being branched into the two branch flows, which is beneficial to controlling the flow velocity of the two branch flows to be the same, thereby better controlling the fluid width after focusing, preventing cells from overlapping and entering the optical detection area, and improving the detection accuracy.

In the microfluidic chip, the width and the flow rate ratio of the sample feeding channel of the sheath fluid and the sample fluid to be detected both affect the hydrodynamic focusing effect and affect the diameter of the focusing fluid. According to the invention, the diameter of the focusing fluid can be controlled to be 10-30 μm by controlling the channel size in the microfluidic chip and the flow rate ratio of the sheath fluid to the sample fluid, so that an ideal hydrodynamic focusing effect is obtained, and bacteria are singly arranged in the focusing fluid (the size of the bacteria is usually 0.5-20 μm).
The existing flow cytometer is designed for cell detection and not for bacteria detection, and because the sizes of bacteria and cells are not in an order of magnitude, the detection capability of the flow cytometer for the bacteria is basically close to the detection lower limit, so that the situation that a plurality of bacteria are detected together is likely to exist, and the accuracy of the detection result is difficult to ensure.

The detection object of the existing flow cytometer is usually a cell solution, and it is required that a sample to be detected cannot contain other suspended particulate matters except cells, but a large amount of suspended particulate matters (such as protein, fat, plant powder and the like) exist in a beverage, so that a flow system (particularly a flow chamber in the flow system, the width of a channel is only 100-200 μm) is easily blocked, an optical detection system is interfered, and the flow cytometer cannot normally work. In the invention, the filter is arranged in the sample feeding system to filter the sample liquid to be detected, so that suspended particulate matters (such as protein, fat, plant powder, milk powder and the like) with overlarge sizes in the sample liquid can be removed, and the blockage of the fluid pipeline and the internal channel of the microfluidic chip is prevented.
