It will be understood that terms such as "having," "including," and "comprising," as used herein, do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or groups thereof.
As shown in fig. 1-5, the cell sorting apparatus of this embodiment has a flow channel structure, the flow channel structure includes a main flow channel 1, a sample inlet 2, a waste liquid port 3 and a collection port 4, the downstream of the main flow channel 1 is divided into three branches, a middle branch is connected to the waste liquid port 3, and two symmetrical branches on two sides are connected to the collection port 4; a focusing area 5, a detection area 6 and a screening area 7 are sequentially arranged on the main runner 1 along the flow direction;

The detection area 6 adopts laser detection to judge whether the particles at the laser detection point 11 are target particles, and the piezoelectric transducer unit of the screening area 7 acts according to the judgment result of the detection area 6. The utility model discloses utilize the supersound to carry out high flux granule and select separately, realize the target screening through the detection of laser to the granule.
The utility model discloses in, cell sorting unit can be a sorting chip, and the runner structure is the microtube way, forms inside sorting chip. The runner structure accessible substrate and cover plate form, and the pipeline recess has been seted up to the cover plate bottom, and the cover plate is sealed to be attached to on the substrate, makes the pipeline recess that is located between cover plate and the piezoelectricity substrate form the runner structure. The base sheet and the cover sheet may be made of glass, plastic, metal or polymer. The whole structure is sterile and sealed, can be suitable for samples with biohazard, can be used in a plug-and-play mode, and can be discarded after being used once. In another embodiment, the main channel 1 in the channel structure is formed by drawing a material and is connected to the subsequent branch channels. In a preferred embodiment, each of the channels in the flow channel structure has a width of 10-500 μm and a height of 20-200 μm. The fluid in the flow channel structure is always kept in a laminar flow state.
Before the sample cells enter the cell sorting device, the fluorescence staining treatment of the target cells is carried out. The target cells are stained (by adding a specific antibody which is fluorescently labeled and can be specifically combined with the target cells), and the flow fluorescence detection technology is utilized to detect the fluorescent dye on the specific antibody combined with the target cells at a laser detection point, so that the target cells are identified, and the target cells are extracted.
The detection area 6 can specifically realize detection through the following scheme: the detection module on the detection area 6 comprises a light spot excitation modulation system, an optical signal detection system, a data acquisition analysis and control module and a piezoelectric driving module; the light spot excitation modulation system generates laser and forms an elliptical light spot, the elliptical light spot irradiates a fixed position on the main flow channel 1 of the detection area 6, and each cell flowing through the detection area 6 is irradiated and excited to generate fluorescence and scattered light; the optical signal detection system collects and detects the generated fluorescence and scattered light to form optical signal information, and the obtained optical signal information is converted into an electric signal and then is sent to the data acquisition analysis and control module. The data acquisition, analysis and control module quantizes and analyzes the received electric signals, logically judges the processing result and the screening condition set by the user, and sends a screening trigger signal to the piezoelectric driving module of the screening area 7 if the screening condition set by the user is met; the piezoelectric driving module converts the screening trigger signal into a high-voltage signal for driving a third piezoelectric transducer unit in the screening area 7, so that the high-voltage signal generates a sound field to change the motion path of the target cell, and the target cell and the non-target cell are separated to different sorting outlets, thereby realizing cell sorting.
The focusing area 5 is provided with at least one piezoelectric transducer unit bonded on the main flow channel 1 and used for focusing the particles in the three-dimensional space in the main flow channel 1 on the central line of the main flow channel 1 or on a straight line near the central line of the main flow channel 1 so that the particles are sequentially and singly arranged and flow in the main flow channel 1; the screening area 7 is provided with a piezoelectric transducer unit which forms two standing wave nodal lines in the width range of the main flow channel 1 and is used for enabling target particles to flow into two symmetrical branches at two sides of the main flow channel 1 in the width direction under force.
Because the screening area 7 is located at the downstream of the detection area 6, the trigger signal needs to be generated after waiting for a certain cell flow time, when the cell moves to the position of the downstream screening area 7 from the detection area 6, the piezoelectric ceramic driving module generates a driving signal with a certain pulse width and a certain voltage, and the signal controls the generation of a sound field, so that the target cell is pushed, and the purpose of separating the cell according to the difference of the detected optical signals is realized. Wherein, the amplitude of the driving voltage and the deformation of the piezoelectric ceramic are in positive correlation, and the higher the voltage is, the larger the thrust is.
When the screening area 7 judges the target cells, a positive selection method or a negative selection method is adopted, and when the positive selection method is adopted, signals which accord with the characteristics of the target cells are used as judgment basis, the third piezoelectric transducer is controlled to generate actions, namely, the detected positive values are used as gating basis, gates are arranged in the detected positive value area, and when the detection signals fall into the gates, the third piezoelectric transducer generates actions, so that the target particles are forced to flow into the collection port 4. When the reverse selection method is adopted, a signal which accords with the characteristics of non-target cells is used as a judgment basis, the third piezoelectric transducer is controlled to act, namely, the detected positive value is used as a gating basis, a gate is arranged outside the area of the detected positive value, and when the detection signal falls into the gate, the third piezoelectric transducer acts to force target particles to flow into the collection port 4. Taking the screening of fetal nucleated red blood cells in the peripheral blood of pregnant women as an example, when the positive selection method is adopted, the arrival of target cells can be judged according to the positive signal of CD71 (fetal nucleated red blood cell specific antibody), so that the action of the piezoelectric transducer is controlled. In the case of the counter selection method, the arrival of the target cell can be determined based on a negative signal of CD45 (leukocyte-specific antibody), and the operation of the piezoelectric transducer can be controlled. When the antibody specificity of the target cell is not good, the capture rate can be improved by adopting a counter selection method.

The first piezoelectric transducer unit 8 and the second piezoelectric transducer unit 9 can be switched in position, can be arranged on the same plane, can also be arranged on different planes, and only the cooperation of the first piezoelectric transducer unit and the second piezoelectric transducer unit can realize the focusing of particles in an XY plane and an XZ plane.
The wavelength of the ultrasonic standing wave generated by the third piezoelectric transducer unit is equal to (or approximately equal to) the width of the main channel 1Y direction, two standing wave nodal lines which are symmetrically distributed along the central line of the main channel 1 are formed in the width range of the main channel 1, and the standing wave nodal lines are sound waves with pulse action, are used for enabling target particles to flow along the two standing wave nodal lines under the action of ultrasonic radiation force and enter two symmetrical branch circuits on two sides of the main channel 1 in the width direction, and finally enter the collection port 4. The third piezoelectric transducer unit has a short action time so as to enable the target cell to generate enough deviation relative to the original flow path as a measuring and calculating basis.
In order to reduce the formation of dead angles of the flow path, a sample injection mode can be adopted on the side surface of the flow path (namely, an inlet and an outlet are led out on the side surface of the flow path), so that the cross contamination of the detection sample can be reduced.
Wherein, the fluid in the main channel 1 is always kept in a laminar state.
Referring to the figure, in the present embodiment, two symmetrical branches are combined at the ends and then connected to the collecting port 4. In another embodiment, however, the two symmetrical branches do not merge at the ends and are each connected to two collection ports 4. Two collection ports 4 can be led out from the side of the whole fluidic chip, which is also beneficial to reducing the cross contamination of the detection samples.
Several specific examples are provided below to further illustrate the present invention.
Example 1

By controlling the parameters of the piezoelectric transducer units, the vibration frequency of the main runner wall is adjusted (the vibration frequency is mainly related to the depth and the width of the main runner 1, and when the width of the main runner 1 is equal to the depth, the vibration frequencies of the two side walls of the width and the two side walls of the depth are the same), so that the particles can be focused in an XY plane and an XZ plane through one piezoelectric transducer unit.
Example 4

When the cascade mode is adopted, the collection port 4 of the previous stage unit is the sample inlet 2 of the next stage unit.
