Wherein, specifically include: a sample addition port 101 and a sample cell 102 belonging to an upstream reaction chamber; a transfer tank 104a belonging to the reaction chamber at the midstream, an air tank 104b belonging to the self-driving unit, and fluid lines (e.g., a first connecting pipe 103a, a second connecting pipe 103b, a third connecting pipe 103 c) connecting the upstream and downstream chambers; the liquid storage unit comprises an aluminum foil liquid bag 106b, the upstream reaction chamber comprises a mixing pool 106a and a fluid pipeline (for example, a first siphon pipe 105a, a fourth transfer pipe 103d and a second siphon pipe 105 b) connecting the upstream and downstream chambers; the downstream reaction chamber comprises not less than two reaction holes 108 and a distribution pipe 107 for distributing liquid to the reaction holes; the aeration unit is a pipe, i.e., an aeration pipe 109, connecting the distribution pipe 107, the sample cell 102, and the kneading cell 106 a. Specifically, the sample addition port 101 is directly connected to the sample cell 102, the sample cell 102 is connected to the transfer cell 104a through the first connecting tube 103a, the transfer cell 104a is connected to the air cell 104b through the second connecting tube 103b, the transfer cell 104a and the mixing cell 106a are connected to the first siphon tube 105a through the third connecting tube 103c, the aluminum foil liquid bag 106b is connected to the mixing cell 106a through the fourth connecting tube 103d, and the mixing cell 106a and each reaction well 108 are connected to each other through the second siphon tube 105b and the distribution tube 107. The distribution pipe 107 is connected to the specimen cell 102 and the kneading cell 106a via a vent pipe 109 of the vent unit.
In this application, the air reservoir 104b is connected to the transfer reservoir 104a via the second connecting pipe 103b, and the air reservoir 104b is closer to the center of the chip, so that when the liquid enters the transfer reservoir 104a under the action of centrifugal force, the air originally in the transfer reservoir 104a will be compressed in the air reservoir 104b for subsequent use as power for controlling the liquid in the transfer reservoir 104 a; the aluminum foil fluid bag 106b is used for storing the diluent, and when the diluent is released, the fluid bag is broken by mechanical pressing, and then the liquid is thrown into the blending pool 106a under the action of centrifugal force. In addition, the third connecting pipe 103c connected to the transfer tank 104a is spaced apart from the bottom of the transfer tank 104a, so that only a part of the liquid in the transfer tank 104a enters the first siphon pipe 105a through the third connecting pipe 103 c; the width and depth of the first siphon pipe 105a are larger than those of the first connecting pipe 103a, so that the liquid in the transfer pool 104a enters the mixing pool 106a preferentially through the first siphon pipe 105a and does not return to the sample pool 102 through the first connecting pipe 103 a.
In this application, a straight slot for fixing a chip is used as the chip fixing slot 110 of the microfluidic chip 100, and this is used as the centrifugal rotation center of the chip.
The above arrangement can realize the controlled liquid passing through the transfer pool 104a, the uniform mixing pool 106a and other chambers on each chip.
The core of the present application is further detailed by the following most specific 2 experimental examples:
specific experimental example one:
sample addition port 101, sample cell 102, first connecting pipe 103a, transfer cell 104a, second connecting pipe 103b, air cell 104b, third connecting pipe 103c, first siphon pipe 105a, mixing cell 106a, aluminum foil liquid bag 106b, fourth transfer pipe 103d, second siphon pipe 105b, distribution pipe 107, reaction hole 108, and vent pipe 109, as shown in fig. 1, in order to distinguish each unit, in this example, structures of the same unit or type are distinguished by different numbers to facilitate examination.
In the experimental example, the micro-fluidic chip is used for realizing the biological reaction of two-step isothermal amplification, and the specific process is as follows.
Before the experiment begins, the aluminum foil liquid bag 106b in the microfluidic chip is filled with diluent in advance and sealed by aluminum foil; the sample pool 102 is stored with a freeze-drying reagent for the first isothermal amplification; the freeze-drying reagent of the second step of amplification is stored in the mixing pool 106 a; the reaction wells 108 contain primers of different indices, as shown in FIG. 2 a. After the experiment is started, the sample is added into the sample cell 102 through the sample port 101, the freeze-dried reagent is dissolved by low-speed centrifugation and the sample is mixed uniformly, and simultaneously the first isothermal amplification step is carried out, as shown in fig. 2 b. After the first isothermal amplification step is finished, the chip is centrifuged at high speed to make the product of the first isothermal amplification step enter the transfer cell 104a from the sample cell 102 through the first connecting pipe 103a, and simultaneously the air in the transfer cell 104a is compressed, so that part of the air enters through the second connecting pipe 103b and is stored in the air cell 104b, as shown in fig. 2 c. When the centrifugal speed is reduced, the air in the air reservoir 104b expands to push out the liquid in the transfer reservoir 104 a. Because the third connecting pipeline 103c, the first connecting pipeline 103a and the first siphon pipeline 105a connected to the right side of the transfer pool 104a have different thicknesses, and the width and the depth of the first siphon pipeline 105a are both larger than those of the third connecting pipeline 103c and the first connecting pipeline 103a, the liquid in the transfer pool 104a can preferentially enter the blending pool 106a through the first siphon pipeline 105a after being squeezed out. Specifically, the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the first siphon pipe 105a to the cross-sectional area of the first connecting pipe 103a is not less than 4. Meanwhile, because the third connecting pipe 103c connected to the transfer pool 104a is at a certain distance from the bottom of the transfer pool 104a, only a part of the liquid in the transfer pool 104a can enter the mixing pool 106a through the first siphon 105a, thereby achieving the purpose of partially transferring the first-step amplification product, as shown in fig. 2 d. When the product of the first amplification step enters the mixing pool 106a, it is dissolved (or partially dissolved) with the second amplification step reagent stored therein, but because the starting point of the second siphon 105b at the right side of the mixing pool 106a is at a certain distance from the bottom of the mixing pool 106a, the liquid cannot contact the second siphon 105 b. At this time, the aluminum foil fluid sac 106b is pressed by mechanical pressure, so that the fluid sac is broken, and the diluent inside is thrown into the blending pool 106a through the fourth transfer pipeline 103d under the action of centrifugal force, and the reagent is diluted and redissolved in the blending pool 106 a. The liquid level can now touch the beginning of the second siphon 105b, as shown in fig. 2 e. Then, the liquid in the mixing pool 106a fills the second siphon pipe 105b and the distribution pipe 107 by low speed centrifugation or standing the chip, and finally the liquid is finally distributed into the reaction hole 108 by high speed centrifugation, and the second isothermal amplification is performed in the reaction hole 108, as shown in fig. 2 f. It should be noted that the number of the reaction wells 108 is at least 2, and primers with different indexes can be pre-stored in each well, and the specific number of the reaction wells 108 can be selected according to actual needs, which is not limited in this experimental example.
Specific experimental example two:
in the experimental example, the multi-index biochemical reaction is realized by using the microfluidic chip, and the specific process is as follows.
Before the experiment begins, the aluminum foil liquid bag 106b in the microfluidic chip is filled with diluent in advance and sealed by aluminum foil; the reaction wells 108 hold substrates for different biochemical reactions, as shown in FIG. 3 a. After the experiment starts, blood is added to the sample cell 102 through the sample port 101, as shown in fig. 3 b. Thereafter, the chip is subjected to high-speed centrifugation to cause blood to enter the transfer reservoir 104a from the sample reservoir 102 through the first connecting tube 103a, at which time serum and blood cells are separated under the high-speed centrifugation, while air in the transfer reservoir 104a is compressed, so that a part of the air enters through the second connecting tube 103b and is stored in the air reservoir 104b, as shown in fig. 3 c. When the centrifuge speed is reduced, the air in the air reservoir 104b expands to push the upper serum layer out of the transfer reservoir 104 a. Because the third connecting pipe 103c, the first connecting pipe 103a and the first siphon pipe 105a connected to the right side of the transfer pool 104a have different thicknesses, and the width and the depth of the first siphon pipe 105a are both larger than those of the third connecting pipe 103c and the first connecting pipe 103a, the upper serum in the transfer pool 104a is extruded out and then preferentially enters the blending pool 106a through the first siphon pipe 105 a. Meanwhile, because the third connecting pipe 103c connected to the transfer pool 104a is at a certain distance from the bottom of the transfer pool 104a, only a part of the serum in the transfer pool 104a can enter the mixing pool 106a through the first siphon pipe 105a, so as to achieve the purpose of quantitatively transferring the serum, as shown in fig. 3 d. After the serum enters the mixing pool 106a, the aluminum foil liquid sac 106b is pressed by a machine to release the diluent therein, so that the serum in the mixing pool 106a is diluted and mixed uniformly. The liquid level can now also touch the beginning of the second siphon 105b, as shown in fig. 3 e. Then, the chip is centrifuged at low speed or left still, the second siphon 105b and the distribution 107 are filled with the liquid in the mixing pool 106a, and finally the liquid is finally distributed to the reaction holes 108 by high speed centrifugation, and biochemical reaction is performed in the reaction holes 108, so as to realize biochemical reaction with multiple indexes, as shown in fig. 3 f. It should be noted that the number of the reaction wells 108 is at least 2, and each well can be pre-stored with biochemical reaction substrates with different indexes, and the specific number of the reaction wells 108 can be selected according to actual needs, which is not limited in this experimental example.
