Description

Full-automatic cell separation system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a full-automatic cell separation system.
Background
Currently, methods for cell separation fall into two main categories: 1) Based on the cell surface specific antigen properties, by antigen-antibody binding separation. Such methods are stable, but rely on the specificity of antibodies to cell surface antigens; 2) Aiming at physical characteristics of cells, including cell size, mechanical property, electrical property and the like, the cells are separated by physical methods such as filtration, centrifugation, dielectrophoresis and the like. Compared with the method based on cell surface markers, the method of physical separation has relatively low requirement, simpler operation and higher flux. However, how to increase the sensitivity is a key to this type of approach, since the variability of these physical properties from cell to cell is small.
Filtration by a microporous filter of a certain size in combination with a difference in cell size is more common in cell sorting. For example, circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in blood may be sorted by filtration through a filter membrane. CTC is approximately 14-26 μm in diameter, red blood cells are approximately 6-8 μm in diameter, and white blood cells are approximately 8-20 μm in diameter. When the microporous filter membrane with the diameter of 8 mu m is used for filtration, CTC can be trapped due to the difference of cell size and cell rheological property, and blood cells can flow away along with the buffer solution, so that the enrichment purpose is achieved. Rarecell, screenCell et al demonstrate the feasibility of this approach using a cylindrical microporous filter membrane with a diameter of 8 μm. Although the method is simple, convenient and quick, in the using process, the influence of pressure difference generated by cell blocking in the sorting process cannot be fully considered. Although the flow rate remains consistent, the instantaneous negative pressure may be far higher than the normal range due to the reduced number of effective holes, which easily causes loss of cells and damages cell structures, resulting in reduced cell activity, and poor cell sorting efficiency and sensitivity.

Therefore, the invention provides a full-automatic cell separation system which can control the real-time pressure difference more accurately, so that the cell separation efficiency is higher, the sensitivity is better, and the influence on the cell activity is smaller.

The air release valve is used for protecting target cells from leakage and damage caused by overlarge pressure difference, and is automatically opened when the pressure difference exceeds a certain threshold value, so that the capture efficiency and the activity rate of the target cells are improved. For example, when the upper filtrate is almost completely filtered, the upper and lower pressure differential will continue to rise, trapping cells that are also immobilized on the filter. If the negative pressure suction module continues to provide negative pressure, the internal pressure difference of the chamber can be increased sharply until the tension is broken because the filtrate in the chamber cannot break through the surface tension of the liquid.

The plunger pump 122 is switched by the valve 6 and the plunger pump 122 is pulled to fill the buffer solution in the plunger pump 122 and the sample injection needle 121, and then the sample injection needle 121 detects the liquid level of the reagent in the micro reagent module 124 and then the plunger pump 122 is used for extracting the micro reagent, at this time, the sample injection needle 121 and the plunger pump 122 are filled with the buffer solution, so that the accuracy of extracting the micro reagent is extremely high. Further, the micro reagent module 124 includes a micro reagent container 1241 and a first rinse tank 1242, the first rinse tank 1242 being connected to the waste liquid tank 126. Further, a diaphragm pump 31 is provided between the first cleaning tank 1242 and the waste liquid tank 126. The first wash tank 1242 is used for washing needles. Further, the micro reagent module 124 includes reagents such as a sample to be treated, a pretreatment reagent, a blocking reagent, an antibody, a nuclear stain, and the like.
Further, the air pressure control module 130 includes an air pressure sensor 131 and air release valves 13 to 20 (the number of the air release valves can be selected according to the actual situation, and one or more air release valves can be provided), the air pressure sensor 131 has two air vents, one air vent is communicated with the atmosphere, and the other air vent is connected with the air release valves 13 to 20 and the air release through hole 1105 through a three-way luer connector. The air pressure sensor 131 can monitor the air pressure below the filter membrane 1102, when the air pressure is higher than a preset threshold value, the air release valve is opened to release air, so that the negative pressure below the filter membrane 1102 is ensured to be within a certain range, the target cells can not be pumped away due to the overlarge negative pressure, and the high enrichment rate of the target cells is ensured. The air pressure sensor 131 in the air pressure control module 130 can monitor the real-time pressure difference of the sample separation process and can be used to determine the time node of the flow. The air release valves 13-20 are used for protecting target cells from leakage and damage caused by overlarge pressure difference, and when the pressure difference exceeds a certain threshold value, the air release valves 13-20 are automatically opened, so that the capture efficiency and the activity rate of the target cells are improved. For example, when the air pressure is increased abruptly, the sample is filtered almost completely, and the filtrate in the chamber 1107 is still unable to be pumped under the surface tension. If the negative pressure suction module 140 continues to provide negative pressure, the filtrate in the chamber 1107 will cause the pressure differential in the chamber to rise sharply, as it cannot break through the liquid surface tension, until the tension is broken through. The large pressure differential at this point can result in a very severe loss rate and activity of the captured cells of interest. Therefore, the air release valves 13-20 need to be opened in time to enable the interior of the microfluidic chip 111 to be directly communicated with air, and redundant filtrate in the cavity 1107 flows out of the microfluidic chip 111 along with the air from the first microfluidic channel 1108, the cavity 1107 and the second microfluidic channel 1109, so that the cavity 1107 does not have any pressure difference exceeding the bearing range of cells.
Further, the negative pressure suction module 140 includes syringe pumps 21 to 28 (the number of syringe pumps may be selected according to the actual situation, and may be one or more), and the syringe pumps 21 to 28 are connected to the suction through hole 1104. Further, the syringe pumps 21 to 28 comprise a syringe and a three-way Y-shaped rotary valve head, the Y-shaped inlet end of the three-way rotary valve head is connected with the syringe, one end of the two outlet ends is connected with the suction through hole 1104, and the other end is connected with the waste liquid barrel 126. When the outlet end is switched to be connected with the suction through hole 1104, waste liquid can be pumped; when the outlet port is switched to connect with the waste liquid tank 126, waste liquid can be pumped into the waste liquid tank 126. Syringe pumps 21-28 are used to pump filtrate under filter membrane 1102 into the waste liquid tank.
Further, the cell separation module 110 further includes a clamping device (for example, a clamping device using patent CN 208177479U) that can tightly attach the upper cover 1101 and the lower cover 1103 of the microfluidic chip 111.
Further, the lower surface of the upper cover plate 1101 and the upper surface of the lower cover plate 1103 are also provided with silicone films bonded to each other. Further, the bonding may be chemical bonding or thermal bonding. The sealability of the upper cover plate 1101 and the lower cover plate 1103 when they are closely adhered can be ensured to a greater extent by the bonding action between the silicone films.
Further, the cell separation module 110 further includes a sample container 112, and the sample container 112 is connected to the sample introduction hole 1106.
Further, the circuit control system 150 includes a control circuit board 151, and a display screen 152 connected to the control circuit board 151.
