Description
Technical field
The utility model relates to fields such as cell electrophysiology, micro electronmechanical process technology, cell sensor.In monitoring, can be used for cultured in vitro physiological status of cells and physiological function are analyzed; Microenvironment by changing the cell growth, the variation of each physiological parameter of monitoring cell respond microenvironment are analyzed.
Background technology
Stechiology is a subject of the character and the function of bio signal in cellular level and molecular level studying physiological process, and functions such as energy cell membrane electrical characteristics etc. are analyzed, and are the bases of life science.Ion channel on the cell membrane is the important carrier of cell normal physiological activity.Patch-clamp and fluorescent dye are the transportation of ion channel intermediate ion and more cyto-architectural important method on the research cell membrane.Though these methods relatively directly and can more accurately detect, pair cell has damage and toxicity, so the long-term active procedure of pair cell is difficult to detect; Devices needed is relatively more expensive and not easy to operate in testing process simultaneously.
Along with the development of modern microelectric technique and micro-processing technology, the research platform of cell develops to no invasive, long-term detection, high flux, low-cost direction.Sensing range is also from the structure function expansion of traditional ion channel research to whole growth process and whole cell.
The cell impedance is a kind of means that states such as the attaching of cultured in vitro cell when growing on the double dish wall, migration, apoptosis are studied.When cell is grown on the electrode of impedance chip, because the insulativity of cell membrane makes that the attaching space between electrode and the solution reduces, thereby makes impedance variation.The area of attachment of cell and electrode and dynamics can be used for the growth conditions of characterize cells on electrode.In the impedance electrodes commonly used, the electrode of interdigitation can increase the girth of electrode edge, increases the sensitivity of cell impedance detection.
For the electrical excitation sexual cell, action potential detects and can the each several part ion motion of ion channel be characterized in the born of the same parents of cell, is also embodied in simultaneously on the outer Electric Field Distribution of cell born of the same parents.In the detection method in modern times, field effect transistor and multidigit point electrode array are two kinds of methods commonly used.The processing of multidigit point electrode array is fairly simple by contrast, uses more.Usually, the site size and the cell size of multidigit point electrode are complementary, and are that multi-channel parallel detects, and exchange between pair cell simultaneously as the information transmission of myocardium plasomidum, neural network can synchronization map; In addition, also can describe the function of ion channel by the outer signal waveform of born of the same parents.
Because not every ion can both obtain mapping in born of the same parents' external electric field signal, for the signal of non-electrical excitation cell, the cellular metabolism ion can not form concentrated current potential granting on a large scale especially.Therefore the utility model of little physiology meter is exactly the long-time metabolism that is used for detecting the various ions of cell, and is not a large amount of ion motions of short duration in the action potential.Light-addressable potentiometric electrode (LAPS) is a photoelectric effect of utilizing silicon type device, under illumination, is activated at generation electron-hole pair formation photogenerated current in the silicon by pulse laser.In the time of LAPS surface ion concentration change, thereby the electric field in the whole electron-hole pair changes and makes photogenerated current also change.This method can characterize the ion concentration of electrode surface quickly.Because therefore the effects of ion complicated component when detecting, carry out ion selective membrane to the LAPS surface and handle, so that object ion is selected.
With above-mentioned three partial functions be integrated in same chip more fully the outer physiology parameter of pair cell born of the same parents detect.And existing method has deficiency in the following areas:
1) in processing, multidigit point electrode array and impedance electrodes have certain similarity, but and the difference between the LAPS bigger, the structure difference of device, the difference of the processing thickness of each layer is bigger.Three part job operations can not reach compatible in the existing method, and the LAPS back side is not thinned, and signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) is not high;
2) adopting LAPS to detect Na outside the born of the same parents
+, K
+During Deng metabolism, the LAPS surface needs the corresponding ion selective membrane of coating, with multidigit point electrode array, the long-term co-operation of impedance electrodes the time, because cellular incubation needs to soak in nutrient solution for a long time, cell culture fluid is polluted easily, ion selective membrane is corroded easily, can cause the instability that detects;
3) in common integrated chip design, because chip area layout and area of chip restriction make that the electrode channel number of each several part is limited, therefore the quantity of information that provides is also abundant inadequately.
Therefore guaranteeing that the omnibearing physiological activity of cell can detect simultaneously, the compatibility processing between this three partial functions chip, detection etc. become the critical problem in the detection of cell multiparameter.
