Embodiment
Embodiment is described in further detail the utility model below in conjunction with accompanying drawing.
The separometer of rare cell in the blood sample, as shown in Figure 1, separometer comprises storer 110, microchip and pump 130, microchip comprises thin slice 120 and slide glass 140.Both form microfluidic channel 121 thin slice 120 and slide glass 140.The groove of thin slice 120 seals with slide glass 140, and magnet 150 is placed on the below of slide glass 140.Microfluidic channel comprises an entrance 116 and an outlet 126.Storer 110 is connected to the entrance 116 of microfluidic channel 121 by the first pipe connecting 115.Equally, pump 130 is connected to the outlet 126 of microfluidic channel 121 by the second pipe connecting 125.
Prepare a silicon chip, the SU8 photoresist of film like (by MicroChem, Newton, MA manufacturing) is coated in the surface of silicon chip equably, then the SU8 photoresist is exposed to ultraviolet ray by photomask lower.The unexposed part of SU8 photoresistance is removed when it also is in liquid state, and the SU8 photoresistance exposure is partly stayed on the silicon chip, and the SU8 after the processing forms the mould of making microchip at silicon chip surface.With PDMS(DOW CORNING Sylgard for example, Midland, MI makes) and solidifying agent mix with mass ratio 10:1 ratio, form fluid silicone rubber, fluid silicone rubber is poured on the mould of silicon chip surface formation, form a reeded elastomerics of tool.After elastomerics after the moulding carried out surface treatment and be modified to a desirable shape, namely flakiness 120, and thin slice 120 is bonding with slide glass 140, forms a microfluidic channel 121.The desirable shape and size of microfluidic channel 121 as shown in Figure 2.Slide glass 140 preferably 150um is thick.
The shape of microfluidic channel 121, import 116 and export 126 access angle (θ 1, and θ 2) and can affect microfluidic channel 121 interior mobile blood samples distributions.Blood sample in microfluidic channel 121 should be avoided rapid flow, because rapid flow may cause rare cell physical abuse and blood cell in the blood sample to be flushed away.But too low speed flows and may cause stagnation, can cause the obstruction of blood coagulation or pipe connecting.
The hemocyte usually medium (such as damping fluid, blood plasma etc.) than them is dense, and for fear of the stagnation of hemocyte, storer 110 positions will be higher than the position of microchip and pump 130.Storer 110 positions be higher than microchip approximately 100mm be optimal.When storer 110 communicated with atmosphere, the interior pressure of microfluidic channel 121 was that the density (ρ) by blood sample determines.The height of gravity (g) acceleration, storer 110 inner blood samples all with in the microfluidic channel 121 is pressed with the pass.Suppose ρ=1.05 g/mL, the pressure of blood sample 101 is about 0.01 normal atmosphere in microfluidic channel 121.This hypobaric configuration reduces the risk that blood sample leaks from microfluidic channel 121 to greatest extent.The adhesive technology that subatmospheric configuration, microchip and slide glass are reversible is so that after rare cell separated, slide glass 140 can shift out in microchip.
Before in blood sample 101 is placed on storer 110, in blood sample, put into magnetic nano-particle, the magnetic nano-particle surface is with antibody, be adsorbed on the target cell by immune response, the magnetic nano-particle material can be nanometer ferric oxide (such as Veridex, the magnetic fluid nanoparticle that LLC produces).The rare cell of blood sample 101 inside is by magnetic nanoparticle adsorption also " mark ", and by in the microfluidic channel 121, the rare cell in the blood sample can be attracted by magnet 150 at blood sample.Therefore, rare cell just has been collected on the slide glass 140 in the blood sample 101.
Stay on the slide glass 140 also might be some magnetic nano-particles of not binding any rare cell.If but the non-nano particle that is adsorbed on the rare cell be used as on the same area that rare cell is gathered in slide glass, can make the work of later observation cell will become very difficult.Therefore, magnet 150 provides the magnetic field of Gradient distribution, and the non-nano particle that is adsorbed on the cell is separated reduce disturbance with the rare cell that is attached with magnetic nano-particle at slide glass.
Have at least two kinds of methods that the magnetic field along the distribution of slide glass 140 1 sides of a gradual change is provided.First method is to use magnet array to increase progressively (or successively decreasing) magnetic field gesture, as shown in Figure 6.Second method is that magnet is placed on position with 140 one-tenth angles of inclination of slide glass, to reach required gradient magnetic; Can magnet be tilted by between magnet and slide glass, placing pad, reach the gradient magnetic that needs, as shown in Figure 7.
For the surface that makes slide glass 140 gathers rare cell better, need to carry out following surface-functionalized processing to microchip: in nitrogen environment, the microchip that the PDMS material is made was processed 15 minutes in the oxygen plasma of 70W, then be immersed in rapidly in the ethanolic soln that contains propyl trimethoxy silicane 30 minutes, wherein the mass fraction of propyl trimethoxy silicane in ethanolic soln is that 4%(purity is that 85% propyl trimethoxy silicane is produced by Acros Organics company), then with ethanol microchip is washed, and microchip is placed on concentration is 0.28% N-(Y maleimidobutyryloxy) reaction 15 minutes in fourth diester (GMBS) solution is that the PBS damping fluid of 10 μ g/mL washes again with microchip concentration.After 30 minutes, with the PBS damping fluid rinsing microchip that contains EpCAM antibody, the concentration of EpCAM is 10 μ g/mL again, and rinsing time is 30 minutes, and microchip is carried out surface-functionalized chemically modified.
In addition, dissimilar magnetic nano-particle can " mark " different rare cell.Allow them can collect the different zones of slide glass 140.For example, as shown in Figure 3, free nanoparticle 301, the rare cell 303 that adheres to the rare cell 302 of less magnetic nano-particle and adhere to more magnetic nano-particle are collected in three different zones of slide 140.Last rare cell is separated from blood sample 101.Slide glass 140 can separate with microchip, carries out cell observation under the opticmicroscope of standard.
As shown in Figure 4, in sepn process, microchip is followed magnet 150 and is carried out the control rotation by electronic rotation arm 160.The direction of microchip can be controlled by pivot arm 160 and the code sensor 162 of rotating machine 161.
Under the first state: when microfluidic channel 121 was positioned at slide glass 140 top position, slide glass was positioned at the top of magnet, and the gravity of rare cell is identical with the magnetic force direction that is subject to, and helped rare cell to be adsorbed onto on the slide glass 140.Under the second state: when microfluidic channel 121 is in vertical direction, relatively heavier red blood cell (red corpuscle) will be deposited to the bottom of microfluidic channel 121, can reduce the interference when catching rare cell.Under the third state: by microfluidic channel 121 is reversed together with slide glass 140 and magnet 150, make magnet 150 be positioned at slide glass 140 above, magnet reaches the purpose of better separation to the magnetic force of rare cell and the opposite direction of rare cell gravity at this moment.Generally, magnetic force and distance square is inversely proportional to.Near magnet 150, after rare cell was enough near magnet 150, microfluidic channel 121 rotated under the second state and the third state by action of gravity for initial state, rare cell, rare cell is adsorbed by magnet 150, and other cells was because of gravity separation.Microfluidic channel 121 is done the alternating motion of continuous vertical position, level attitude (the first state) and symmetrical upturned position (third state), can make cellular segregation more effective.
If rotation center is positioned at microfluidic channel 121, long pipe connecting (such as pipe 115 among Fig. 1 and pipe 125) may cause blood sample 101 to be detained in pipe connecting.It is the most desirable being placed on rotation center between storer 110 and the microfluidic channel 121.This position can more easily rotate microfluidic channel 121.Microfluidic channel 121 when relative position changes, does not just need long pipe connecting with magnet 150 angles (namely uprightly, tilting or upset) on erect position and the obliquity like this.Above-mentioned rotatablely moving of mentioning also can be finished with centrifugal force according to size and the density of cell.
At storer mechanical cushioning device is installed, is used for the vibration that memory buffer is subject to when rotated, avoid storer because of breaking that vibration causes.As shown in Figure 5, snubber assembly comprises two clamping plate and is arranged on spring 501 and spring 502 between the clamping plate, and in the storer rotation process, spring 501 and spring 502 can compressions or upheld, and slow down the vibratory forces that storer is subject to.
The speed of erythroprecipitin and erythrocytic density dependent by the distribution of red corpuscle density, can calculate the precise time of erythroprecipitin.Erythrocytic density distribution is calculated as follows:
A. the flow vector that calculates in microfluidic channel distributes, and can calculate by Theoretical Calculation or by fluid dynamics software and realize.
B. microfluidic channel is divided into several zones.(such as 100um * 100um rectangular area).
C. for each zone, provide preliminary density of blood.
D. for each zone, erythrocyte sedimentation rate can be predicted from above data.
E. red blood cell velocity=blood sedimentation speed+flow field velocity.
F. the red corpuscle density distribution can be calculated by current density and red corpuscle flow.
