Example 2
The preparation method of the microfluidic-based cracking chip comprises the following steps:
1) Providing a 3-inch silicon wafer, and cleaning and drying;
2) Spin-coating with 100 μm SU-8 (NANO SU-8 50,MicroChem,Newton,USA) Photoresist (PR) layer. Then soft baked at 80 c for 10 minutes and then baked at 110 c for another 30 minutes to evaporate the solvent on the silicon wafer. When the silicon wafer reached room temperature, a new SU-8 layer (100 μm thick) was spun and soft baked in the same way. After three consecutive deposition steps, a 300 μm thick PR layer was obtained on top of the silicon wafer.
3) Subsequently, the high resolution photomask containing the channel design is patterned by exposure to Ultraviolet (UV) light. After post exposure bake, the wafer is immersed in SU-8 developer to complete the channel pattern. The remaining crosslinked SU-8PR was silicone polymer forming the raised mold.

Example 3
The using method of the microfluidic-based cracking chip comprises the following steps:
1) Preparing a sample: coli was incubated at 37 ℃, shaken in a water bath at 120RPM, and the suspension was monitored for changes in optical density at 600nm (OD 600) using a DU-800 spectrophotometer (Beckman Instruments, inc., fullerton, CA, USA) and its growth was followed. Cells were grown to log phase harvest, washed twice in 1×pbs (137mM NaCl,2.7mM KCl,4.3mM Na2HPO4 · 7H2O,1.5mM KH2PO4) and at an average cell density of 5×10 7 CFU/The mL was resuspended in 1 XPBS. The stock suspension was stored cold and all experiments were completed within two hours after initial sample preparation. A cell suspension with a volume of 50 μl was pumped into the microfluidic system using a syringe pump.
2) Preparing magnetic beads: injection methods are used to fill the microchannels with sol-gel-bead matrices. The sol was prepared by hydrolysis of 27% v/v Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) (Sigma-Aldrich, st.Louis, MO, USA) in water by addition of 0.1% v/v HNO, heated to 60℃for 10 minutes, then heated at 80℃for 60 minutes, and stirred at 200 rpm. Silica microbeads having a diameter of 5 μm were added to 1mL of the sol at a concentration of 200mg of beads prior to gelation. Gelation of the sol is carried out by raising the temperature to 100 ℃ to effect condensation under acidic conditions. The use of silica microbeads having a diameter of 5 μm minimizes sedimentation problems when preparing suspensions, as compared to suspensions having larger silica microbead diameters. The resulting sol-gel silica microbead matrix binds DNA/RNA by electrostatic interactions. The sol-gel silica bead matrix is hydrophilic in that it is formed by acid catalyzed sol condensation. Silica microbeads provide a large surface area for selective binding of DNA, while sol-gels are used as silica-based water for immobilizing microbeads in place during device operation. The sol-gel-microbead matrix was introduced into the channel under pressure using a sample injection method, the chamber outlet was blocked by 90% to allow some liquid to flow out while confining the majority of the beads in the channel. After filling, the chamber was dried at 120 ℃ for 24 hours.
3) Cracking process
(1) Injecting the sample into the serpentine region, then stopping (static) and driving the piezoelectric ceramic transducer;
(2) The sample continuously flows (flows) through the serpentine region during the lysis process. A composite signal generator and a radio frequency power amplifier are used to drive the piezoceramic transducer. Under the duty ratio of 100%, the input power is 0-200 mW, and the sample flow is 10-25 mu L/min, so that the cracking efficiency is improved to the maximum extent, and excessive heat and acoustic cavitation are avoided.
4) Cracking verification
Lysis efficacy was quantified by measuring ATP released from sonicated samples and comparing it to ATP of untreated samples. Firefly luciferase-based ATP assays were performed in the form of 96-well microwell plates with a limit of detection of 0.1pmol of ATP. Fluorescence value measurements were performed using a Varioskan LUX multifunctional microplate reader.
The extraction process was initiated by rinsing the microchannel with MeOH to activate the silica. The microchannel was rinsed with TE (10mM Tris,1mM EDTA), titrated to pH 7.6 with HCl, and 6M guanidine hydrochloride. All solutions were prepared in 18 M.OMEGA.cm water. The sample was loaded in 6M guanidine hydrochloride using 25. Mu.L of DNA (250 fmol) and flowed through the microchannel at a rate of 2. Mu.L/min. The washing step was performed using 25 μl of 80% 2-propanol. This removes any excess guanidine hydrochloride and contaminants from the microchannels. DNA was eluted from the solid phase by flowing TE buffer through the micro-channels. The loading, wash and eluate were collected in microcentrifuge tubes and analyzed using DNAQF DNA quantitative fluorometry kit (Sigma-Aldrich, st.Louis, MO, USA).
