Then, relatively adopt the result of micro-array biochip reactor of the present invention and commercial goods hybridization instrument.In the presence of biological sample concentration 10nM, adopt micro-array biochip reactor of the present invention, apply voltage of alternating current ± 10V, the variation of 60Hz electric voltage frequency, carried out the biomolecules hybridization 30 minutes, obtain the result shown in Fig. 8 A; Simultaneously, utilize commercial goods hybridization instrument, when identical biological sample concentration, carry out 1 hour (shown in Fig. 8 B), 2 hours (shown in Fig. 8 C), 4 hours (shown in Fig. 8 D), 12 hours (shown in Fig. 8 E) and 16 hours (shown in Fig. 8 F) biomolecules hybridizations respectively.The result shows that compared to the hybridization result of commercial goods hybridization instrument gained, micro-array biochip reactor of the present invention can be reached the purpose of quick bio molecular hybridization reaction effectively.
In addition, carry out the hybridization influence test of micro-array biochip reactor of the present invention for the probe biomolecule of different freedom of movement.The probe biomolecule of different freedom of movement is meant different binding between probe biomolecule and substrate, for instance, AlO3 structure of the present invention is 5 '-amino linker (amino linker)-TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-(probe sequence)-3 ', the structure of O3 is 5 '-TTTTTTTTTTTTTTT-(probe sequence)-3 ', and the structure of P3 is 5 '-amino linker (amino linker)-(probe sequence)-3 '.Three kinds of different biological molecules concentration and probe concentration all are fixed as 0.5 μ M, and sample concentration also is fixed as 5 μ M.Adopt micro-array biochip reactor of the present invention, apply voltage of alternating current ± 10V, 60Hz switching frequency, continuous action 30 minutes is carried out the biomolecules hybridization, and the result who obtains is shown in Fig. 9 A; Adopt the reaction of traditional biological molecular hybridization, left standstill 30 minutes, the result who obtains is shown in Fig. 9 B.Comparative result adopts micro-array biochip reactor of the present invention as can be seen, applies that voltage of alternating current carries out sample mix and the molecule film micro area moves, and can improve biomolecules hybridization speed and specificity effectively.Because the effect of alternating-electric field makes the O3 probe can not be adsorbed in chip surface, and can reduce the anti-non-again specificity reaction of follow-up biological molecular hybridization effectively.For the influence of probe molecule freedom of movement, the reaction effect of the AlO3 probe molecule P3 probe molecule reaction result more relatively poor than freedom of movement is more even preferably for freedom of movement.
Above result proves, adopts micro-array biochip reactor of the present invention can quicken the carrying out of biochemical reaction effectively.And in process of the test, find, for few nucleic acid microarray (oligo microarray), when sample concentration is too high, the diffusional effect of sample molecule can reach balance at short notice, the effect that is alternating-electric field is also not obvious, and the result of resulting biomolecules hybridization there is no significant difference; And in low concentration sample, the biochip under the alternating-electric field effect, its hybridization efficient and result are better than the result that tradition leaves standstill the method gained significantly.In addition, carry out the biochip of hybridization with the tradition method of leaving standstill, hybridization result's reproducibility is relatively poor, the reliability that is this result still remains to be discussed, yet the biomolecules hybridization with the control of alternating-current place can obtain more consistent experimental result, promptly adopts micro-array biochip reactor of the present invention and voltage of alternating current, really can improve biochip gained result's exactness and reliability, solve the biochip problem that This is what people generally disapprove of the most all the time.
Analyze from another viewpoint, under the situation that does not have the external force effect, because the molecular weight of biomolecules is bigger, and to a certain degree interaction power arranged each other, make the rate of diffusion of biomolecules in solution greatly reduce, thereby cause biomolecules skewness in solution, and do not have reproducibility, cause the result of traditional biological hybridization that chip carries out to produce bigger drop.And utilize electric field action when biological sample solution, because the charged relation of biomolecules itself, therefore under electric field action, biomolecules can be advanced regularly along with direction of an electric field.Therefore, when the biomolecules that reactive force is arranged each other is present in the sample solution, can distinguish to some extent with the biomolecules that does not produce affinity interaction because of effect of electric field, even the more weak biomolecules of avidity to each other, also can separate, make sample solution more evenly help the carrying out of biochip hybridization reaction because of effect of electric field.According to more than, because of the effect of alternating-electric field hybridization result is preferably arranged in theory, also can be confirmed clearly from experimental result.
In addition, above result also shows, utilize under the electric field action, when less sample concentration, the concentration of bioprobe is high more, then the result of hybridization gained is good than the result of traditional method gained, because the probability of colliding between the molecule is relatively higher, but when concentration and probe concentration was above greater than finite concentration, then the resulting result of hybridization there is no difference significantly between the two, because when sample molecule concentration is high, and the collision probability between the probe molecule improves naturally.For example the result of 0.1 and 0.5 μ M concentration and probe concentration gained hybridization there is no significant difference in fact.This result means when concentration and probe concentration arrives finite concentration, hybridization promptly reaches capacity, in other words, though the high result that can guarantee hybridization of concentration and probe concentration, the hybridization efficiency of its probe is lower, and this is because when concentration and probe concentration is high, probe molecule closely is fixed in chip surface, steric hindrance when causing hybridization has reduced the reaction compartment of each probe molecule on the contrary, even the result who causes hybridization is than the low time difference of concentration and probe concentration.Therefore, suitable concentration and probe concentration except saving the cost of manufacture of biochip, also is one of important parameter that reaches the required consideration of best hybridization result simultaneously.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment, so it is not that any person skilled in the art is within the spirit and scope that do not break away from the present invention, when doing various changes and retouching in order to qualification the present invention.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion with the scope that claims were defined.
