The photoetching process adopts Hexamethyldisilazane (Hexamethyldisilazane) to modify the silicon wafer, and then the silicon wafer is pretreated by gluing, exposing and developing. In order to couple a chip with a sample injection platform of a flow sorter (BD, model: aria III), the chip takes the shape of a standard glass slide as a reference, and the silicon chip is cut to obtain the chip with the outer edge dimension of 25 multiplied by 75.149mm, and a non-array area is reserved on one side, so that the chip is convenient to hold, move and place. And etching deep silicon to form micropores with the diameter of 1.955mm and the depth of 0.20mm, wherein the micropore display number of each chip is 5 multiplied by 12, the interval of the outer edges of the micropores in the same vertical row is 2.555mm, and the interval of the outer edges of the micropores in the same horizontal row is 2.503mm. The micro-hole array chip is structurally shown in a top view in FIG. 1. According to the sorter setting, the microwells (lower left microwells as viewed in fig. 1) at the corners of the array region adjacent to the non-array region side were determined as sorting start positions, and the corresponding microwells (upper right microwells as viewed in fig. 1) along the diagonal ends of the array region from the start positions were determined as sorting end positions.
The microporous silicon-based surface is hydrophilically modified by covalent binding of highly hydrophilic silane derivatives to reduce the loss of protein by non-specific adsorption.
Immersing a microwell array chip into H 2 O:H 2 O 2 HCl (v/v/v) =5:1:1 solution was activated for 10-15min, the chips were washed with deionized water and dried under nitrogen, and the activated chips were immersed in the silane derivative 2- [ methoxy (polyethyleneoxy) propyl at room temperature]The surface hydrophilic modification is carried out by reacting in trimethoxysilane (Oligo-EG, gelest, cat. No. 65994-07-2) for 30min, the obtained chip is washed by deionized water and dried in nitrogen, and the modified chip can be stored for 8 weeks at normal temperature.
Example 2 application of microwell array chip
Primary liver parenchymal cells were obtained from EGFP mice as follows: after the mice are anesthetized, decoupling and exposing the inferior vena cava, liver and portal vein; inserting a 24G vein indwelling needle from the portal vein initial position until the portal vein root part, and extracting the needle head; after the venous indwelling needle is connected with a perfusion tube, 6ml/min of I perfusion liquid preheated at 37 ℃ is perfused (136mM NaCl,5.3mM KCl,0.5mM NaH) 2 PO 4 ·2H 2 O,0.4mM Na 2 HPO 4 ·7H 2 O,9.1mM HEPES,4.1mM NaHCO 3 5mM glucose, 0.5mM EGTA) for 8min. When the liver bulges, the inferior vena cava is interrupted rapidly when perfusion begins, and a large amount of blood flows out. The inferior vena cava is pressed during the period, so that the liver is continuously bulged, and the full perfusion is ensured. Thereafter, 5ml/min of the II perfusate preheated at 37℃was perfused for 5min. Stopping perfusion, removing liver, removing gallbladder, and placing into a container filled with II perfusate (136mM NaCl,5.3mM KCl,0.5mM NaH) 2 PO 4 ·2H 2 O,0.4mM Na 2 HPO 4 ·7H 2 O,9.1mM HEPES,4.1mM NaHCO 3 ,5mM CaCl 2 In a 0.05% collagenase IV) petri dish, gently shredding the liver with sterile ophthalmic forcepsA large number of cell dispersions can be seen. Liver parenchymal cells were enriched by centrifugation at 50g at 4 ℃. After labeling CD45 and CD31 antibodies, cell pellets were obtained by centrifugation. The cell pellet was resuspended in DMEM and the cell suspension density was adjusted to 10 by cell counting 7 And each mL. Sorting the sample into microporous chips by a flow sorter. Adjusting the parameters of the commercial BD company flow sorter (model: aria iii) used includes: the nozzle model is 85 mu m; the droplet oscillation frequency (Freq) was 46.8; the amplitude of vibration (amplitude) was 12.4; drop position (Drop 1) 221; drop spacing (Gap) of 12; a droplet delay value of 28.15; the position of the separation liquid flow is far left; the sorting mode is Single cell. And placing the chip for testing into a slide sample clamp, setting coordinates of a starting point and an end point, and observing whether the liquid drops accurately enter micropores of the chip by irradiating the chip with naked eyes through a flashlight. And repeatedly adjusting the initial point and the end point coordinates, and replacing the test chip with the formal chip after confirming the final coordinates. Applying the hepatic parenchymal cell suspension, and circling and selecting CD45 - CD31 - The hepatic parenchymal cells were used as a target cell population, the number of cells required per microwell was set, and sorting was performed in a 12-column×5-row mode. For details see the BD_FACSAria_III_user_guide manual. The sorted microwell chips were subjected to microscopic examination using a forward fluorescence microscope (Nikon ECLIPSE Ni-E) to confirm whether the sorting accuracy reached the standard (fig. 2).
Samples in the microporous chip were prepared as described in chinese patent No. CN113138249B for proteome samples. As can be seen from mass spectrometry, sample preparation efficiency can be greatly improved by using a flow sorting system based on a microporous chip (as shown in table 1).

Obtaining single cell number per hour 20±5 500±10
As can be seen from table 1, three independent repeated experiments showed that manual micromanipulation and the constructed microporous chip-based flow sorting system obtained the number of microporous chip single cell samples per hour. Therefore, the constructed flow sorting system based on the microporous chip can improve the original manual micromanipulation efficiency by 25 times. Using microwell chips, sorting out each microwell chip takes about 6 minutes, and sorting 500 single cells takes about only 10 chips for 1 hour.
Three repeated experiments show that under the system, the identification amount of the Hela protein of the single human cell line can reach 1200; up to 1600 of 15; up to 2800 up to 75. The primary hepatic parenchymal cell protein identification amount of 15 mice can reach 500; up to 1400 out of 75 (as shown in table 2). The specific experimental process comprises the following steps: sorting corresponding number of cells into chip micropores by flow, adding trypsin, digesting protein at 37 ℃ for 2-6h (the mass ratio of protease to protein can be 1 (1-3), the concentration of protease can be 0.5-1 mug/mu L), collecting digestion liquid, and carrying out liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis on the digestion liquid. In mass spectrometry, a data independent scan mode can be used to search a database containing only proteomic profiles.
