The gas flow channels include at least a first gas flow channel A1, a second gas flow channel A2, a third gas flow channel A3, and a fourth gas flow channel A4 corresponding to the lysis pad 121, the binding pad 122, the first wash pad 123, and the eluent pad 124, respectively, and may preferably further include a fifth gas flow channel A5 corresponding to the second wash pad 125.
The lysis solution bag 121 is broken and then flows into the first gas flow channel A1, and the first gas flow channel A1 may be communicated with the magnetic bead storage chamber 104 or with the sample chamber.
The binding liquid packet 122 is broken and flows into the second flow channel A2, and the second flow channel A2 can be communicated with the magnetic bead storage chamber 104 or the sample chamber.
The above steps are mainly for mixing the lysis solution, the magnetic beads (magnetic particles) in the magnetic bead storage chamber 104, and the binding solution in the sample chamber. When the first gas flow channel A1 is communicated with the magnetic bead storage cavity 104, the lysis solution carries the magnetic beads to the sample cavity, and at this time, the binding solution directly flows into the sample cavity, so that the second gas flow channel A2 is communicated with the sample cavity. When the first gas flow channel A1 is directly connected to the sample chamber, i.e. the binding solution carries the magnetic beads to the sample chamber, the second gas flow channel A2 needs to be connected to the magnetic bead storage chamber 104.
The first cleaning solution bag 123 is broken and flows into the third flow channel A3, and the third flow channel A3 may be communicated with the first end of the sample chamber or the magnetic bead capture chamber 106. This step is mainly to wash the magnetic beads, and to make the washing solution pass through the magnetic bead capture chamber 106 to wash the magnetic beads, and then inject the washing solution into the waste liquid chamber 105. Therefore, the third flow channel A3 may be directly communicated with the first end of the magnetic bead capture cavity 106 for magnetic bead cleaning, and may also be communicated with the sample cavity, so that the cleaning solution flows through the sample cavity first and then flows into the magnetic bead capture cavity 106 for magnetic bead cleaning.
The second cleaning solution bag 125 is broken and flows into the fifth flow channel A5, and the fifth flow channel A5 may be communicated with the first end of the sample chamber or the magnetic bead capture chamber 106. The step is mainly to perform a second washing on the magnetic beads, and the principle and the steps are the same as those of the first washing, which are not described herein again. The second washing of the magnetic beads is a preferred embodiment and is not an essential step.
After the eluent packet 124 is broken, the eluent flows into the fourth gas flow channel A4, and the fourth gas flow channel A4 is communicated with the second end of the magnetic bead capture cavity 106. This step is mainly to elute the nucleic acid molecules adsorbed on the surface of the magnetic beads, and then push the eluent into the mixing chamber 107 to mix the eluent with the lyophilized beads in the mixing chamber 107.
After the eluent and the freeze-dried beads are mixed in the mixing cavity 107, the mixture is pushed to the PCR cavity 109 for amplification reaction.
In the above steps, the flow of liquid is controlled by the valve set and the air pump.

In some embodiments, the sections of the sample addition chamber 101 and the sample processing chamber 103 near the bottom are inclined toward the front surface of the cartridge plate 11 to facilitate the liquid outflow.

Referring to fig. 10, taking the eighth branch 148 as an example, the front-back groove structure includes a front groove N1, a back groove N2, and a communication hole N3. The positive groove N1 is a groove (solid line segment in the figure) formed on the front surface of the card box plate 11, the back groove N2 is a groove (dotted line segment in the figure) formed on the back surface of the card box plate 11, and the communication hole N3 is formed in the intersection of the ports of the positive groove N1 and the back groove N2 and used for communicating the ports of the positive groove N1 and the back groove N2. The front film 12 seals the front groove N1, the rear film 13 seals the back groove N2, and the communication hole N3 communicates the front groove N1 and the back groove N2, thereby forming a flow passage.
In the above-described embodiment of the present invention, referring to FIGS. 10-12, PCR chamber 109 includes a central chamber 161, an amplification chamber 162, a zone flow channel 163, a central flow channel groove 164, a gas containing zone 165, a water-proof gas-permeable membrane 166, a zone gas channel 167, a gas dividing channel 168, and a transition gas zone 169.
The central flow channel groove 164 is formed on one surface (front surface) of the central chamber 161, the flow channel (i.e., the back recess N2 section of the eighth branch 148) is formed on the other surface (back surface) of the central chamber 161 opposite to the central chamber, the eighth branch 148 is communicated with one end of the central flow channel groove 164, and the other end of the central flow channel groove 164 is communicated with the block flow channel 163. A waterproof, breathable membrane 166 is attached to the central cavity 161 to seal the central runner channel 164. The regional air channel 167 is arranged at the edge of the sealing area of the waterproof breathable film 166, and the regional air channel 167 is communicated with the air containing region 165. Referring to fig. 12, the height of the central channel 164 is about half of the height of the central cavity 161. When the waterproof membrane 166 is attached to the central cavity 161, the upper half of the central cavity 161 is not sealed by the waterproof membrane 166, and the gas channel 167 is actually a channel between the upper half of the central cavity 161 and the gas containment region 165. In this embodiment, a waterproof air-permeable film 166 is disposed on the opposite surface (front surface) of the liquid inlet end (the eighth branch 148 disposed on the back surface), and the sealed edge thereof is communicated with Rong Qiou. When the mixed liquid in the mixing chamber 107 enters the central channel groove 164 of the central chamber 161, the carried air bubbles will be released from the waterproof and air-permeable membrane 166 and enter the air-holding region 165, so that the mixed liquid entering the amplification chamber 162 does not carry air bubbles, thereby facilitating the amplification step.
In some embodiments of the present application, referring to fig. 10 and fig. 13, one amplification cavity 162 is correspondingly provided with two region runners 163, and the two region runners 163 are an entrance runner 1631 and an exit runner 1632, respectively. One end of the entrance flow channel 1631 communicates with the central flow channel 164, and the other end of the entrance flow channel 1631 communicates with one end of the amplification chamber 162. One end of the exit flow channel 1632 is communicated with the other end of the amplification chamber 162, and the port of the other end of the exit flow channel 1632 is located in the central chamber 161 and sealed by the waterproof and breathable membrane 166. The mixed liquid in the central channel groove 164 enters the amplification chamber 162 through the inlet channel 1631, when the amplification chamber 162 is filled with the mixed liquid, the excess mixed liquid flows into the outlet channel 1632, and when the outlet channel 1632 is filled, the mixed liquid cannot pass through the waterproof air-permeable membrane 166, so that the mixed liquid stops entering the inlet channel 1631.
In some embodiments of the present application, a first barrier M1 is disposed on the inlet flow channel 1631, and a second barrier M2 is disposed on the outlet flow channel 1632. In practice, the first barrier M1 and the second barrier M2 are a flow path interrupting structure of a section of the unwelded front film 12. Referring specifically to fig. 13, when the front film 12 is welded on the surface of the cassette board 11 by laser, the welding line is about 0.1mm away from the outside of the flow channel, i.e., the area outside the dotted line strip circle X in the figure is the welding area. Since the first barrier M1 and the second barrier M2 are non-welded regions, and the front film 12 is only attached to the surface of the cartridge board 11, when the flow rate or pressure of the mixed liquid is high, the front film 12 at the barrier is pressed to arch the front film 12 outwards, and the mixed liquid can still flow through the barrier (as shown by the arrow in the figure). The first barrier M1 and the second barrier M2 can block flow to some extent, but do not completely block flow, so that the mixed liquid can flow among the inlet flow channel 1631, the amplification chamber 162 and the outlet flow channel 1632. When the amplification chamber 162 is filled, the flow of the inlet flow channel 1631 and the outlet flow channel 1632 needs to be completely blocked before the temperature rise and drop cycle, at this time, the waterproof breathable membrane 166 is a first barrier, and the top pressure rod of the matching instrument is used to press the front membrane 12 at the first barrier M1 and the second barrier M2 to form a second barrier, thereby ensuring that the flow of the inlet flow channel 1631 and the outlet flow channel 1632 is completely blocked.
In some embodiments, four amplification chambers 162 are provided, and are arranged circumferentially at equal intervals around the center of the central chamber 161. One amplification cavity 162 and the corresponding entry flow channel 1631 and exit flow channel 1632 form a wing-shaped amplification unit, and the four amplification units are symmetrically arranged to form a wing-shaped amplification unit group. In some embodiments of the present application, the number of Rong Qiou is at least four, and each of the at least four amplification units is located between every two adjacent amplification units. A transition air area 169 is also arranged between every two adjacent air containing areas 165, and the transition air area 169 is communicated with the air containing area 165 adjacent to the transition air area through an air distributing channel 168. The central cavity 161 and the waterproof breathable membrane 166 are both circular, the center of the central cavity 161 is taken as the circle center, the position of the flow channel is 0 degree, and the four amplification cavities 162 are respectively positioned at the positions of 45 degrees, 135 degrees, 225 degrees and 315 degrees on the circle. Specifically, the air-containing region 165 includes a first air-containing region 1651 and a second air-containing region 1652. The first air-containing area 1651 is provided with two air-containing areas, which are respectively located at the axes of 90 ° and 270 °, and the shape of each air-containing area is similar to a triangle corresponding to the fin-shaped gap, one angle of each air-containing area is communicated with the central cavity 161 through the air-distributing channel 168, and the other two angles of each air-containing area are respectively communicated with one end of the transition air area 169 through the air-distributing channel 168. The second air-containing area 1652 is provided with four air-distributing channels 168, two of which are located on two sides of the flow channel, and the other two air-distributing channels are symmetrically located on two opposite sides of the flow channel, and the air-distributing channels 168 and the air-distributing area 167 are communicated with the central cavity 161. The other end of transition gas zone 169 communicates with second gas containing zone 1652 via gas dividing duct 168. Referring to fig. 11-12, the air containing region 165 and the transition air region 169 are hollow regions, the air dividing duct 168 and the air dividing duct 167 are grooves formed on the card case body 1, and the arrangement form of the region flow passage 163 is a positive and negative groove structure form. After the mixed liquid in the mixing chamber 107 flows into each amplification chamber 162, the optical module of the matched instrument is positioned at the corresponding position of the front PCR chamber 109 of the card box, the thermal module is positioned at the corresponding position of the back PCR chamber 109 of the card box, and the optical module and the thermal module clamp the card box from the two sides of the card box. During amplification, the thermal module cyclically heats and cools the amplification chamber 162. After amplification is complete, it is desirable to de-excite the amplified reactants in the amplification chamber 162 with light of different wavelengths to detect the concentration of the amplified reactants in the amplification chamber 162. Specifically, the optical module includes four small modules, namely a red module, a green module, a yellow module and a blue module, the four small modules are respectively disposed on the four amplification chambers 162 to detect different types of fluorescence after reaction of reagents in the amplification chambers 162, and each amplification chamber 162 needs to receive detection of the four small modules in turn. Because the four amplification cavities 162 are designed on one circumference, the optical module can correspondingly detect different amplification cavities 162 by the four small modules in turn only by rotating, and the optical module does not need to move an extra stroke, thereby effectively improving the detection efficiency.
In the above embodiment, the valves included in the valve group include the first valve B1, the second valve B2, the third valve B3, the fourth valve B4, the fifth valve B5, the sixth valve B6, the seventh valve B7, the eighth valve B8, and the ninth valve B9.

Referring to FIGS. 14-18, the present application contemplates a spike valve structure comprising a valve cavity 151, a resilient pad 152, and at least one protrusion 153. The valve chamber 151 has a first flow passage hole 154 formed in a side surface thereof and a second flow passage hole 155 formed in a bottom surface thereof. The elastic pad 152 is located above the second flow path hole 155. The protrusion 153 is provided on a surface of the elastic pad 152 facing the valve chamber 151 and/or is provided on a surface of the valve chamber 151 at a position corresponding to the elastic pad 152 such that a gap is provided between the elastic pad 152 and the second flow path hole 155. Preferably, the second flow passage hole 155 is provided at the center of the valve chamber 151. One protrusion 153 is provided, and the protrusion 153 is provided on the surface of the valve chamber 151 on the line connecting the first flow channel hole 154 and the second flow channel hole 155. In some embodiments of the present application, the shape of the protrusion 153 is a dome shape. In some embodiments, the valve cavity 151 is circular, and the elastic pad 152 is also circular, and the diameter of the elastic pad 152 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the valve cavity 151, and the elastic pad 152 is preferably a silicone pad. In some embodiments, the side of the valve cavity 151 is sloped downward from the outside to the inside. In some embodiments, the first flow passage holes 154 are disposed at the upper side of the valve chamber 151, and the corresponding lower side is inclined downward from the outside to the inside to facilitate the liquid flowing into the valve chamber 151.
In the structure of the present invention, due to the protrusion 153, when the elastic pad 152 is not subjected to an external force, a gap is formed between the elastic pad 152 and the second flow channel hole 155, so that the liquid can flow into the valve chamber 151 from the first flow channel hole 154 and then flow into the second flow channel hole 155, and then flow out of the structure of the top needle valve along the flow channel. When the elastic pad 152 is subjected to a predetermined pressure, it is deformed, and the elastic pad 152 blocks the second flow passage hole 155, so that the liquid cannot flow into the second flow passage hole 155, i.e. the structure of the needle valve functions to block the flow of the liquid. Because the elastic pad 152 has elasticity, when the external force is removed, the elastic pad 152 is restored to the original state, and the elastic pad 152 and the second flow passage hole 155 have a gap therebetween, so that the liquid can flow through the needle valve structure.
The valve cavity 151 of the thimble valve structure provided by the application can be directly opened on the front surface of the card box plate 11, and the flow channel with the positive and negative groove structure is adopted in the above embodiment, so that the first flow channel hole 154 is communicated with the positive groove N1 arranged on the front surface of the card box plate 11, the second flow channel hole 155 is communicated with the back groove N2 arranged on the back surface of the card box plate 11, and the thimble valve structure can be regarded as a communicating hole N3 with a controllable flow blocking function, and the thimble valve structure is simple in structure and convenient to control and reliable.

The above embodiment proposes a cartridge structure, the work flow of which is as follows:
first step, loading sample: the sample of the patient to be tested is introduced into the sample addition chamber 101 from the sample addition port 111, and then the cover 3 is fastened, thereby sealing the cartridge. Because the siphon bend 110 is disposed between the sample addition chamber 101 and the sample processing chamber 103, the sample temporarily stays in the siphon bend 110 and does not directly flow into the sample processing chamber 103.
Step two, connecting a matched instrument: the cartridge is inserted into a mating instrument. Specifically, the matched instrument is provided with a slot, so that the card box can be vertically inserted into the matched instrument. The ventilation ports of the first air channel A1, the second air channel A2, the third air channel A3, the fourth air channel A4, the fifth air channel A5, the sixth air channel A6 and the seventh air channel A7 on the card box body 1 are all connected with an air pump of a matched instrument, and the connection part can be provided with an air pressure valve.

Step three, sample pretreatment: sample pretreatment: after sample application, the sample is mixed with the internal reference lyophilized beads in the internal reference lyophilized bead cavity, and then reaches the siphon elbow 110 to stay. After the test is started, the sample staying in the siphon bend 110 is sucked into the sample processing chamber 103 by using the air pump of the kit to suck air from the air vent of the sixth air passage A6 (the following description does not refer to the operation of the air pump of the kit, and only describes the air ventilation or air suction state of the air passage).
Step four, releasing lysate: the pressing module of the matching instrument presses the area of the bag breaking member 4 corresponding to the lysis solution bag 121, so as to puncture the sealing membrane 22 of the lysis solution bag 121, and the lysis solution flows out of the lysis solution bag 121 to the test solution cavity 132 of the first air flow channel A1 (the operation of the pressing module of the matching instrument is not mentioned, and only the state of the reagent bag is described below). At this time, since all the valves of the channel are closed, the lysate is temporarily retained in the sample chamber 132 and does not automatically flow into each chamber of the cartridge body 1. Then, the center lever corresponding to the first valve B1 is released, thereby opening the first valve B1 (the following description will not refer to the operation of the center lever of the kit, and only the open/close state of the valve will be described). Meanwhile, air is introduced from the first air flow channel A1, so that the lysate flows into the magnetic bead storage cavity 104, freeze-dried magnetic beads in the magnetic bead storage cavity 104 are uniformly mixed, and all the magnetic beads are carried to flow into the sample processing cavity 103. By continuing to introduce air from the first air flow channel A1, the lysate is sufficiently mixed with the sample by the bubbles continuously generated from the bottom of the sample processing chamber 103, and then the first valve B1 is closed. In the mixing process, the mixed solution can be heated to 85 ℃ through a thermal cycle module of a matched instrument for thermal cracking.
Step five, releasing the binding solution: the binding liquid pack 122 is punctured, and the binding liquid flows out from the binding liquid pack 122 to the sample liquid chamber 132 of the second flow channel A2. At this time, since the tip valve corresponding to the channel is in the closed state, the binding solution is temporarily retained in the sample solution chamber 132 and does not automatically flow into each chamber of the cartridge body 1. The second valve B2 is opened and air is introduced from the second flow channel A2 to push the binding solution into the sample processing chamber 103. And continuously introducing air from the second air flow channel A2, mixing the binding solution and the magnetic beads with the lysed sample by using the bubbles continuously generated from the bottom of the sample processing chamber 103, and then closing the second valve B2.
In the above steps, a mode of firstly releasing the lysis solution and mixing the lysis solution with the magnetic beads in the sample processing chamber 103, and then releasing the binding solution to the sample processing chamber 103 for mixing together is adopted. However, in the present embodiment, a manner of releasing the lysis solution into the sample processing chamber 103, releasing the binding solution to mix with the magnetic beads, and then mixing with the magnetic beads in the sample processing chamber 103 may also be adopted, and the specific ventilation and valve control in this manner are the same as in the above manner, and will not be described again here.

The method comprises the following specific steps: and opening the third valve B3 and the sixth valve B6, and simultaneously starting the magnetic suction module by a matched instrument. Air is introduced from the sixth air channel A6, and the mixed solution in the sample processing chamber 103 is sequentially pushed into the magnetic bead capture chamber 106 and the waste liquid chamber 105. When the mixed liquid passes through the magnetic bead capture cavity 106, the magnetic beads are uniformly adsorbed on the inner wall of the magnetic bead capture cavity 106 under the action of the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic attraction module, and the rest liquid parts of the mixed liquid are all pushed into the waste liquid cavity 105, and then the third valve B3 and the sixth valve B6 are closed. The first cleaning liquid pack 123 is punctured, and the cleaning liquid is discharged from the first cleaning liquid pack 123 to the sample chamber 132 of the third flow channel A3. At this time, since the corresponding valve of the channel is in the closed state, the cleaning solution is temporarily retained in the sample solution chamber 132 and does not automatically flow into each chamber of the cartridge body 1. The fourth valve B4 and the fifth valve B5 are opened, air is introduced from the third air flow channel A3, the wash liquid is pushed into the sample processing chamber 103, and then the fourth valve B4 and the fifth valve B5 are closed.

The second kind of magnetic bead cleaning method is to adsorb the magnetic bead and carry out a washing in sample processing chamber 103, carries out the secondary and washs in magnetic bead capture chamber 106, and supporting instrument all sets up magnetism and inhales the module in magnetic bead capture chamber 106 and sample processing chamber 103 corresponding position department. The method comprises the following specific steps: the matched instrument starts the magnetic module at the corresponding position of the sample processing cavity 103, opens the third valve B3 and the sixth valve B6, and introduces air from the sixth air passage A6. Under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic module, the magnetic beads are uniformly adsorbed on the inner wall of the sample processing chamber 103, and the rest of the liquid of the mixed liquid is completely pushed into the waste liquid chamber 105, and then the third valve B3 and the sixth valve B6 are closed. The first cleaning solution bag 123 is punctured, so that the cleaning solution flows out from the first cleaning solution bag 123 to the sample chamber 132 of the third flow channel A3. At this time, since the corresponding valve of the channel is in the closed state, the cleaning solution is temporarily retained in the sample solution chamber 132 and does not automatically flow into each chamber of the cartridge body 1. The fourth valve B4 and the fifth valve B5 are opened, and air is introduced from the third air flow channel A3 to push the wash solution into the sample processing chamber 103. Then the magnetic module is closed by the matching instrument, air is continuously introduced from the third air flow channel A3, bubbles continuously generated from the bottom of the sample processing chamber 103 are utilized to fully mix the cleaning solution and the magnetic beads, and then the fourth valve B4 and the fifth valve B5 are closed. The magnetic module located at the corresponding position of the magnetic bead capture cavity 106 is opened by the matching instrument, and the third valve B3 and the sixth valve B6 are opened to introduce air from the sixth air channel A6. Under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic module, the magnetic beads are uniformly adsorbed on the inner wall of the magnetic bead capturing cavity 106, the rest liquid part of the mixed liquid is completely pushed into the waste liquid cavity 105, and then the third valve B3 and the sixth valve B6 are closed.

And continuously introducing air from the sixth air channel A6 to blow dry the reagent remained on the surface of the magnetic bead in the magnetic bead capturing cavity 106.
Seventh step, releasing the eluent: the eluent bag 124 is punctured, so that the eluent flows out of the eluent bag 124 to the test solution cavity 132 of the fourth gas flow channel A4. At this time, since the needle valve corresponding to the channel is in the closed state, the eluent is temporarily retained in the sample chamber 132 and does not automatically flow into each chamber of the cartridge body 1. And opening a seventh valve B7 and an eighth valve B8, introducing air from the fourth air flow channel A4, and sequentially pushing the eluent into the magnetic bead capturing cavity 106 and the mixing cavity 107. And continuously introducing air from the fourth air flow channel A4, mixing the eluent with the freeze-dried beads in the blending cavity 107 by utilizing the air bubbles continuously generated from the bottom of the blending cavity 107, and then closing the seventh valve B7 and the eighth valve B8.
Eighth step, pushing the eluent into the PCR cavity: the ninth valve B9 is opened, and air is introduced from the seventh air passage A7 to push the eluent in the mixing cavity 107 into the PCR cavity 109. Because the waterproof and breathable film 166 is arranged at the PCR cavity 109, when the four amplification cavities 162 are filled, the mixed solution stops flowing into the PCR cavity 109, and the ninth valve B9 is closed.
Ninth step, liquid flow separation: the pressurizing module of the matching instrument is used to press the first partition M1 and the second partition M2, so that the PCR cavity 109 is separated from other flow channels.
Step ten, performing an amplification cycle: the 4 amplification zones 162 of the PCR chamber 109 are subjected to temperature rise and decrease cycles by an amplification heating module of a matching instrument, and the amplification result is detected by an optical detection module.
Step ten, sealing a flow passage: after the experiment is finished, the heating module of the matched instrument is utilized to heat the wax in the wax valve cavity (blocking the cavity 108) so that the wax is melted and naturally falls down under the action of gravity, and the runner between the uniformly mixing cavity 107 and the PCR cavity 109 is blocked after solidification, so that the effect of sealing the PCR cavity 109 is achieved, and the phenomenon that an amplification product in the PCR cavity leaks out of the card box through the runner to pollute the instrument or the environment is avoided.
