Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fluidic chip detecting system.
Background technology
Micro-total analysis system (Micro Total Analysis Systems, μ-TAS) is a frontier interdisciplinary, and its target is to realize that by micro electronmechanical processing (MEMS) technology and biotechnology chemical analysis system handles whole microminiaturized, the integrated and portability that detects from sample.It has become the important directions and the forward position of present analytical instrument development.
Current micro-total analysis system can be divided into chip type and non-chip type two big classes.The current chip formula is a development priority, wherein can be divided into two big classes again according to chip structure and working mechanism: micro-array chip (Microarraychip) and micro-fluidic chip (Microfluidic chip), though have a small amount of intersection to experience evolution separately substantially between two kinds of technology.
Micro-array chip also claims biochip, mainly based on biotechnology, is core with affine combination technology, is architectural feature to fix a series of addressable identification molecular array at chip surface.It is easy to use, measures fast, but generally is disposable use, and very strong specificity is arranged.Another kind of chip is that micro-fluidic chip then mainly is based on chemical analysis and analytical biochemistry, is support with micro electronmechanical process technology, is architectural feature with the microchannel network, is the emphasis of current micro-total analysis system development.It is integrated on the chip sampling, dilute, add reagent, reaction, separation etc., and can repeatedly use, and therefore has applicability widely.
The appearance of microchip analysis system not only can make precious Biosample and reagent consumption be reduced to microlitre greatly even receive upgrading, and hundred times of ground of operational analysis speed tenfold improve, expense tenfold, hundred times decline.
Biomedicine is the main application fields of current microfluidic analysis system, at the research of human gene and disease relationship, development is applicable to that the Capillary Electrophoresis micro-fluidic chip of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection, dna sequencing and the protein sequencing of genome times afterwards comprehensively is the task of top priority.The micro-fluidic chip that is used for clinical examination will have market the most widely in China.Synthetic and the screening of novel drugs is another field that can play a significant role of micro-fluidic chip.Other important applied field comprise food and commodity inspection, environmental monitoring, criminal science and space science etc.
The micro-fluidic chip that the present invention is directed to is the integrated capillary electrophoretic cake core, and its detection method has uv absorption detection, fluoroscopic examination, Mass Spectrometer Method, Amperometric Detection Coupled etc.Wherein, fluoroscopic examination is called laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) (Laser Induced Fluorescence is called for short LIF) detection method again, is used for detecting the fluorescigenic compound of energy, is a kind of highly sensitive selectivity detection method.After some compound with special construction is subjected to ultraviolet light or laser radiation, can send the long light of wavelength ratio ultraviolet light or laser, generally in visible-range, this light is called fluorescence, short ultraviolet light or the laser of wavelength becomes exciting light, and the fluorescence of generation is called emission light.Fluorescence detector is exactly a kind of system of measuring fluorescence intensity, and fixedly the time, fluorescence intensity and sample concentration are linear at experiment condition.Because fluorescence detection is directly measured fluorescence intensity, sensitivity is very high, suit especially to do trace analysis, and equipment is fairly simple, therefore when considering to select the detection method of Capillary Electrophoresis cake core, selects fluorescence detection usually.
Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram of a fluorescence detector.Laser that laser instrument 1 sends is through the convergence of lens 2, produces a hot spot in the fixed position of the capillary channel of micro-fluidic chip 3.When the fluid in the kapillary was flowed through this facula position, the fluorescent material that carry the inside was subjected to exciting of laser, launches fluorescence.These fluorescence signals are collected by microcobjective 4, through the unwanted wavelength information of emission light narrow-cut filter 5 filterings, by photomultiplier 6 (PMT) fluorescence signal that receives are changed into electric signal, output in the follow-up equipment to show.
The specific implementation light path has three kinds: oblique incidence formula, transmission-type and reflective detection light path.Early stage to use more be oblique incidence formula light path, and laser beam is oblique incidence at a certain angle, and the fluorescent material fluorescence signal that the laser facula place produces of flowing through is directly collected by object lens, handles, shows by photomultiplier.This relatively simple for structure, but the adjusting angle inconvenience, and also the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) of signal is not high yet, uses seldom now.
Fig. 2 is reflective light path synoptic diagram, and transmission-type detection light path is similar to reflective detection light channel structure, and the transmission-type light path that is not both of both maximums is not used dichroscope, and the luminous energy loss is lower.In the transmission-type light path, laser by catoptron and convergent lens from chip bottom incident, the principal goods mirror is collected the fluorescence that send the appointed area on chip top, chip is respectively the fluorescence signal light path up and down and laser is introduced light path, can directly build light path on the microscopical basis of common biology.
In reflective light path (Fig. 2), laser instrument 1 emitted laser bundle is reflected by dichroscope 7, and the fixed position at micro-fluidic chip 3 under the effect of principal goods mirror 8 produces a focused light spot.In the time of electrophoresis, fluorescent material this laser facula generation fluorescence signal that is excited of flowing through.The fluorescence signal of these scatterings is collected by principal goods mirror 8, sees through dichroscope 7, is assembled by tube lens 9, by the non-fluorescence signal of color filter 5 filterings, receives and convert to electric signal by photomultiplier 6.The electric signal that photomultiplier 6 produces is sent into computer recording, demonstration by subsequent treatment such as electronic filterings.The reflecting light line structure realizes that with dichroscope 7 laser is introduced light path and the fluorescence signal light path is partially folded, and principal goods mirror 8 had both played the effect of convergent laser light beam, can collect fluorescence signal again, made the total system smaller volume, had reached the requirement of instrument miniaturization.Therefore but, dichroscope brings optical energy loss to a certain degree, has reduced signal, considers to introduce the signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) that confocal technology improves signal, like this, even system loss a part of luminous energy, still can obtain signal than good quality.
Fig. 3 is a confocal principle synoptic diagram.Confocal technology, promptly light source, photographed object point and point probe three are in corresponding optics object-image conjugate position in twos.Reflect by dichroscope 7 behind the laser bundle-enlarging collimation that laser instrument 1 sends, on micro-fluidic chip 3, be focused into diffraction limit hot spot (spot diameter d=1.22* λ/NA) through principal goods mirror 8 (numerical aperture is NA), excite the fluorescence of generation to be collected by principal goods mirror 8, see through dichroscope 7, by tube lens 9 at spatial filter 10 (detecting pinhole) planar imaging, and by reflection (scattering) signal that receives micro-fluidic chip 3 near the photodetector of image planes position.In the confocal technology,, receive only reflection (scattering) signal of micro-fluidic chip 3 focal planes by detecting pinhole 10 filter actions, and its non-focal plane reflection (scattering) signal of filtering.This shows that confocal technology is effectively to reduce noise for the great advantage of fluidic chip detecting system, improve signal quality.Compare with common light path, the maximum characteristics of introducing confocal technology are uses of detecting pinhole 10, and there is fundamental influence its size and position to the performance of total system, are to derive theoretically or all embodied this point in experiment.
