A kind of biological corpuscle dielectric property test chip

Technical field

The utility model relates to the dielectric property test component of micro/nano level biological particle and the manipulation technology of method and micro-and nano-particles.

Background technology

In biochemical analysis, often need to detect and analyze the characteristic of biological particle, and then explore its inner structure and chemical composition, to satisfy the needs of aspects such as medical research, health and epidemic prevention.Traditional biochemical analysis method normally adds biochemical reagents and biological particle generation chemical reaction, and tight accurate control course of reaction, this has not only destroyed the microenvironment of biological particle, be not suitable for the active bio particulate analysis, and relevant device is bulky and cost an arm and a leg, test environment and personnel are required height, especially aspect disease detection, be not suitable for individualizing, family expensesization.In addition, in the biochemical analysis of traditional medical domain, normally pair cell colony carries out statistical study, is easy to ignore a small amount of abnormal cell, and this early diagnosis to various cancers is very unfavorable.The dielectric property of biological particle (comprising cell, bacterium, fungi, virus, dna molecular and protein etc.) and its structure and chemical composition are closely related, can be used as " fingerprint " of demarcating these biological particle types, therefore the dielectric property of obtaining biological particle just can realize the sign of biological particle, and then obtains the information of aspects such as particle inner structure and chemical composition.The dielectric parameter quantitative response dielectric property of biological particle, can be used as the quantizating index of dielectric property.

With the cell is example, by liposome and protein is that the cell membrane that main body constitutes has the dielectric properties of the insulation of being close to, it mainly is to move institute by water and ion to cause that electricity in the cell is led, under the AC field effect outside, electric charge moves to and is stored in the phase interface of cell and solution, destroy original electrostatic double layer and formed the non-uniform Distribution of new electric charge, i.e. interfacial polarization.This electric charge asymmetric structure is similar to capacitor, and the electric capacity of its cell membrane and electricity are led respectively with C=ε A/d and G=σ A/d and represented (ε, σ, A and d are respectively absolute dielectric constant, the conductivity of film, the area and the thickness of film).The specific inductive capacity of cell and conductivity are for the response of frequency change, i.e. dielectric relaxation behavior can be represented with the plural form of its specific inductive capacity: ε ^*=ε-j σ/ω, ε, ω, σ are respectively specific inductive capacity, signal angular frequency, conductivity in the formula.Information such as the dielectric properties of cells involved film and cell structure can be used direct method for measuring, perhaps obtain by the round-about way of resolving the dielectric relaxation spectrum.Internal electrode method and gap method can be studied than the mcroorganism cell by direct measurement, but can't accomplish for the direct mensuration of atom particulate (below tens microns); Suspension resistance technique (Suspension Impedance Technique, SIT) can the micrometer small-particle, and have advantages experimentally such as measurement mechanism is simple, wide frequency range, and the integrity on the ripe scheduling theory of analytic method, but it can only obtain the average electrical character of cell colony, and cell volume mark＞40% is not suitable for the cell structure mixed system different with electrical property for suitable; The dielectric properties of the cell membrane of small pipette method (Micropipet Method) cell that also directly measurement volumes is very little, but the internal electrode method than traditional research biological cell more needs consummate operative technique and experienced accumulation, so difficulty is bigger.

Relevant measurement method based on dielectrophoresis technology then can overcome above shortcoming.The dielectrophoresis method is a kind of non-destructive technology, implements simply, satisfies a large amount of walk abreast, Touchless manipulation demands, and the situation of change of the character of biological particle under other action of chemicals such as detection that can be real-time and research cell.Dielectrophoresis technology has become the important technology that enables that present biological particle is handled.

According to exchanging the electrokinetics theory, in AC field, be suspended in the effect of dipole moment with the interaction generation power of inhomogeneous field of the biological particle in the media fluid, this power promptly is called dielectrophoretic force.Particle moves under this power effect and just produces the dielectrophoresis phenomenon.The expressed intact formula of dielectrophoretic force is:

$<F_{\mathrm{DEP}}>=\frac{1}{4}\mathrm{vRe}\left[\widetilde{\mathrm{\&alpha;}}\right]\&dtri;({|\&dtri;{\mathrm{\&phi;}}_R|}^2+{|\&dtri;{\mathrm{\&phi;}}_I|}^2)-\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{vIm}\left[\widetilde{\mathrm{\&alpha;}}\right]\&dtri;\&times;(\&dtri;{\mathrm{\&phi;}}_R\&times;{\&dtri;\mathrm{\&phi;}}_I)---\left(1\right)$

Be the complex permittivity of particle,

Be the complex permittivity of suspension medium, $\widetilde{\mathrm{\&epsiv;}}=\mathrm{\&epsiv;}-\mathrm{j\&sigma;}/\mathrm{\&omega;},$ (ε and σ are respectively absolute dielectric constant and conductivity), therefore

It is the function of signal frequency ω.According to (1) formula, the expressed intact formula of dielectrophoretic force is formed by two additions, and first is traditional dielectrophoretic force (F _CDEP), second is row ripple dielectrophoretic force (F _TwDEP).Will

Be designated as conventional dielectrophoresis (cDEP) factor, its size is designated as f _CDEP, F _CDEPSize be proportional to f _CDEP, will

Be designated as capable ripple dielectrophoresis (twDEP) factor, its size is designated as f _TwDEP, F then _TwDEPSize be proportional to f _TwDEPJust the situation that influences of electric field can be obtained by numerical simulation, and then the stressed and motion conditions of specified particle in electric field can be obtained dielectrophoretic force to the cDEP factor and the twDEP factor.According to description and effective dipole moment theory to the phasor form of AC electric field, the time average value expression of dielectrophoresis single order torque is:

${\mathrm{\&Gamma;}}_{\mathrm{ROT}}=-\mathrm{vIm}\left[\widetilde{\mathrm{\&alpha;}}\right]({\&dtri;\mathrm{\&phi;}}_R\&times;{\&dtri;\mathrm{\&phi;}}_I)---\left(2\right)$

Flood φ in the formula _Rφ _IBe designated as the ROT factor, other symbols are the same.During particle experience row ripple dielectrophoresis, also be subjected to the Stokes viscosity resistance simultaneously except being subjected to row ripple dielectrophoretic force, the stabilized speed of particle is

$V=-\frac{{\mathrm{<figure-callout\; id="2"\; label="R"\; filenames="Y20082003255200131.png"\; state="\{\{state\}\}">R</figure-callout>}}^2}{9\mathrm{\&eta;}}\mathrm{Im}\left[\widetilde{\mathrm{\&alpha;}}\right]\&dtri;\&times;({\&dtri;\mathrm{\&phi;}}_R\&times;{\&dtri;\mathrm{\&phi;}}_I)---\left(3\right)$

In the formula, η is the kinetic viscosity of suspending liquid; V is the particle gait of march; R is particle radii, and other symbols are the same.Formula (3) is the capable ripple dielectrophoresis of the biological particle equation of motion.During biological particle experience electricity rotation dielectrophoresis, particle rotates under the effect of ROT rotating torque, and when balancing each other when the ROT torque with viscosity resistance square N, particle angular velocity Ω is:

$\mathrm{\&Omega;}=-\frac{1}{6\mathrm{\&eta;}}\mathrm{Im}\left[\widetilde{\mathrm{\&alpha;}}\right]({\&dtri;\mathrm{\&phi;}}_R\&times;{\&dtri;\mathrm{\&phi;}}_I)---\left(4\right)$

Ω is the spin angle speed of particle in the formula, and other symbols are the same.Formula (4) is the rotation dielectrophoresis equation of motion of biological particle.

The dielectric parameter of the frequency characteristic of the motion response during particle experience dielectrophoresis and size, particle and the suspending liquid of particle itself and the characteristic parameter of electric field are relevant, so utilize relation between these several the factors just can obtain the dielectric property parameter of particle.The real part of effective polarizability of particle and imaginary part almost reflect and have described all dielectric properties of particle.At present, although domestic and international research person is obtaining certain achievement aspect the dielectric property of utilization dielectrophoresis technology exploration particle, but the test pattern that can finish of most researchers' test component is single, and can only measure in the real part of effective polarizability of particle or the imaginary part, this has hindered the discussion to the profound level of the inner structure of biological particle and dielectric model improvement aspect to a certain extent at every turn; Secondly, lack necessary pretreatment unit on the test component, need to adopt fluid drives, cause complex operation and easy break-down; In addition, the analysis to the stressed and motion conditions of particle (as is ignored the situation of the phase place of AC electric field with spatial position change roughly in the implementation process of test; Ignore the lateral transfer campaign of particle in the electric rotary test etc.), cause aspects such as the accuracy measured and reliability also to have problems.Generally speaking, the quantity of information of the dielectric property aspect of the biological particle that present test chip and method of testing obtain is very limited, the low and complex operation of accuracy.
