Description

Portable clamping device based on nanopore detection chip in magnetic tweezers system
Technical Field
The invention relates to a chip clamping device, in particular to a portable clamping device based on a nanopore detection chip in a magnetic tweezers system.
Background
With the advent of fourth generation sequencing technologies, nanopores have demonstrated highly sensitive performance in the field of rapid single molecule detection, but have faced many challenges in discriminating between internal bases of DNA. Because the speed of DNA passing through the nanopore is very high, the current change caused by a single base is difficult to capture by the existing instrument at the speed, and sequencing of single DNA passing through the nanopore in a free state cannot be realized, so that a great difficulty of nanopore sequencing is that the speed of DNA passing through the nanopore is effectively reduced. Through the constant search of many research groups, various ways have been sought to reduce the speed of DNA molecules through nanopores. Once the speed of DNA molecules passing through the nanopore is reduced, the obtained data volume is correspondingly improved, and the identification degree of DNA bases is also improved.
Nanopore sequencing is one of the third-generation technologies which hopefully realize high speed, high flux and high accuracy, and provides a mode for controlling DNA to pass through a nanopore by using magnetic tweezers, a set of magnetic tweezers devices is designed, and an experiment platform is built to control the speed of the DNA in the nanopore aiming at the problem that the DNA cannot effectively distinguish bases when the DNA passes through the nanopore at an effective voltage in the third-generation DNA detection of the nanopore. The improvement of experimental instruments and devices and the simplification of experimental steps have very important meanings for improving experimental efficiency and accelerating research process.
At present, a device for clamping a nanopore chip in a specific magnetic tweezers experiment in a laboratory is mainly formed by gluing two acrylic plates with the same size and a groove in the middle through glue, and then punching a small hole in the groove. The clamping steps mainly comprise: 1. uniformly coating PDMS glue on the small holes of the groove of the liquid pool; 2. placing the chip on the small hole stuck in the groove by using tweezers and positioning the chip by visual inspection; 3. cooling for a period of time, observing whether the glue works or not by visual observation, and checking whether water leaks around the chip by using deionized water; 4. the liquid pool is placed on an external bolt frame, and the bolts are tightened to fix the liquid pool.
The device for clamping the nano-holes has several problems in the aspects of convenience in operation, positioning accuracy and reliability: 1. in the aspect of convenience, the old chip is taken away when the chip is replaced every time, and the back surface of the old chip is stuck by glue, so that the old chip can not be used any more. 2. In the aspect of positioning accuracy, no matter the chip or the liquid pool is positioned by visual inspection, although the liquid pool has a concave-convex groove for positioning, a dimension is positioned by visual inspection, and inaccurate positioning may cause failure of an experiment due to larger errors. 3. In the aspect of reliability, when the chip is replaced, the chip is exposed to the external environment, the chip is extremely easy to be polluted or even damaged in the process, and irreparable influence is caused on the experiment. 4. Due to the small size of the chip, the chip needs to be carefully placed in the center of the gasket by tweezers to ensure good sealing and positioning accuracy. Meanwhile, in the process of coating with glue, the coating requirement is uniform, and if the glue is coated too little or not uniformly, the phenomenon of leakage caused by poor sealing property is easy to occur; when the glue is coated too much, the chip and the small hole are not parallel, the chip is not separated well when a new chip is replaced, the old chip is broken, and the surface of the liquid pool is damaged.
The problems make the experimental process complicated, the accuracy of the experimental result is reduced, the operation requirement on personnel is high, the experimental efficiency is greatly influenced, and the research process is slowed down.
