The technology not mentioned in the present utility model can be realized by the prior art.
As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the digital PCR well plate includes an injection-molded open container having a bottom plate portion 1 and a surrounding portion 2, and the bottom plate portion 1 may be of a rectangular structure as a whole and subjected to chamfering treatment at corner positions of the rectangular structure. The surrounding part 2 surrounds the edge of the bottom plate part 1 and is a side wall of the open container and is used for being matched with the bottom plate part 1 to form a complete open container. The bottom plate part 1 is provided with a plurality of flat bottom sample cells 3 arranged in sequence, and the flat bottom sample cells 3 are used for containing micro droplets. The digital PCR pore plate comprises an injection-molded open container, so that the production cost can be greatly reduced, and the injection molding can adopt a purification workshop for production and sealing, so that the test result can be prevented from being influenced by dust pollution and oil pollution of machining, and the further increase of the cost and the process risk caused by the post cleaning and drying treatment can be avoided.
Furthermore, the open container is black, so that the contrast ratio of the fluorescent signal of the positive micro-droplet to the background color can be increased, and the fluorescent signal can be conveniently observed. And the raw materials of the open container adopt a grain extraction process, so that the color of the finally formed open container can be consistent, and the influence on the test result caused by batch difference of the color depth of the open container is avoided.
Further, the dimensions and depth of each flat bottom sample cell 3 are the same, and the dimensions include the length, width, height, and curvature of the edges of the flat bottom sample cell 3. The roughness of the inner bottom surface of the flat bottom sample cell is 0.1-0.2 μm. If the smoothness of the inner bottom surface of the flat bottom sample cell 3 used as a background is too high, the light emitted by the excitation light forms reflected light on the inner bottom surface of the flat bottom sample cell 3, so that interpretation is affected. At the same time, the inner bottom surface of the flat bottom sample cell 3 is required to be uniform, and if too rough, the quality of observation is affected. Thus, considering the above two effects, the roughness of the inner bottom surface of the flat bottom sample cell 3 is set to 0.1 μm to 0.2 μm, and a balance is achieved between avoiding reflection of light and meeting the requirements of the flat bottom sample cell 3.
Further, the roughness of the inner bottom surface of the flat bottom sample cell 3 was one of 0.1 μm, 0.11 μm, 0.12 μm, 0.13 μm, 0.14 μm, 0.15 μm, 0.16 μm, 0.17 μm, 0.18 μm, 0.19 μm, 0.2 μm.
In a more preferred embodiment, the roughness of the outer bottom surface of the open container is 0.02 μm-0.06 μm. It will be appreciated that the microdroplet contained within the open container needs to be heated to conform to the conditions of the imaging assay. The entire open container can be heated by the heating base 11 to achieve indirect heating of the microdroplets. The machined metal digital PCR pore plate has high heat conductivity coefficient, but the roughness after machining is generally 0.8 mu m, the polishing treatment is carried out again, the cost is higher, the roughness is only 0.1 mu m under the ideal machining state, the contact area between the open container and the heating device is reduced due to the overhigh roughness, the heat transfer is not facilitated, and the temperature rise is still slower. In this embodiment, the roughness of the outer bottom surface of the open container is set to 0.02 μm-0.06 μm, so that the contact area between the digital PCR orifice plate formed by injection molding and the heating base 11 can be increased, and the heat transfer efficiency can be further improved.
Further, the roughness of the open container outer bottom surface is one of 0.021μm、0.022μm、0.023μm、0.024μm、0.025μm、0.026μm、0.027μm、0.028μm、0.029μm、0.03μm、0.031μm、0.032μm、0.033μm、0.034μm、0.035μm、0.036μm、0.037μm、0.038μm、0.039μm、0.04μm、0.041μm、0.042μm、0.043μm、0.044μm、0.045μm、0.046μm、0.047μm、0.048μm、0.049μm、0.05μm、0.051μm、0.052μm、0.053μm、0.054μm、0.055μm、0.056μm、0.057μm、0.058μm、0.059μm、0.06.
In a more preferred embodiment, edge ribs 4 and inner hole ribs 5 are provided on the bottom plate portion 1 in the open container. The edge reinforcing ribs 4 are located around the bottom plate portion 1. The inner hole reinforcing ribs 5 are arranged in the edge reinforcing ribs 4 in a crisscross manner, the inner space formed by the edge reinforcing ribs 4 is divided, flat bottom sample cells 3 are formed, and the flat bottom sample cells 3 are distributed on the bottom plate part 1 in an array manner.
In a more preferred embodiment, the flat bottom sample cell 3 is configured as a rectangular structure in order to conform to the injection molding process. The inner corners of the side walls of the flat bottom sample cell 3 of the rectangular structure are set to be circular arc structures.
In a more preferred embodiment, two strip-shaped waste liquid tanks 6 are oppositely arranged on the edge reinforcing ribs 4 in the open container, so that a sample adding needle can conveniently drop micro-droplets into the waste liquid tanks 6 firstly and then move into the flat-bottom sample tank 3 to add the micro-droplets in a fixed volume, and the accuracy of the quantity of the micro-droplets added into the flat-bottom sample tank 3 can be ensured due to the fact that the air at the head part of the sample adding needle is discharged in advance, and further the accuracy of digital PCR detection is improved. The waste liquid tank 6 is provided in a strip-like structure and is disposed relatively parallel to the edge reinforcing ribs 4 to increase the accommodating space of the waste liquid tank. Because the open container is formed by injection molding, if the local colloid volume is too large, the open container will shrink and deform after injection molding is completed, reducing the aesthetic appearance of the open container, and also causing deviation of the product size. In the embodiment, the waste liquid tank 6 is arranged to be of a downward concave structure, so that the glue consumption of the open container can be reduced during injection molding, and shrinkage and deformation after injection molding caused by too large local glue volume are avoided.
In order to further increase the accommodation space of the strip-shaped waste liquid tank 6, two waste liquid tanks 6 arranged opposite to each other on the edge reinforcing rib 4 are designed. The side of the strip-shaped waste liquid tank 6, which is close to the surrounding part 2, is of a linear structure, and the side of the strip-shaped waste liquid tank 6, which is close to the flat bottom sample tank 3, is provided with a multi-section curve structure 12; each multi-section curve structure 12 is arranged corresponding to the flat bottom sample cell 3. The multi-section curve structure 3 comprises a straight line part 121 and arc line parts 122 positioned at two ends of the straight line part 121, wherein the arc line parts 122 are parallel to the arc-shaped structures of the corresponding flat-bottom sample cells 3, and the straight line part 121 is parallel to the side edges of the flat-bottom sample cells 3. By designing the side edge of the waste liquid tank 6, the thickness of the reinforcing rib between the waste liquid tank 6 and the flat bottom sample tank 3 is consistent. By adopting the structure, the accommodating space of the waste liquid tank 6 can be increased, and shrinkage and deformation after injection molding caused by too large local glue volume can be further avoided.
In a more preferred embodiment, a waste liquid tank 6 is provided on each of opposite sides of the edge bead 4, and glue reducing holes 7 are provided on the other opposite sides of the edge bead 4. The glue reducing holes 7 are arranged linearly on one side of the edge reinforcing ribs 4 and are distributed between two adjacent flat bottom sample cells 3. The glue reducing hole 7 and the waste liquid tank 6 jointly realize glue reduction of the open container in the injection molding process.
In a more preferred embodiment, to speed up the detection process and further reduce the heating time, the digital PCR well plate further comprises a thermally conductive silicone sheet 8, one thermally conductive silicone sheet 8 being configured for the open container. As shown in fig. 2, the thermally conductive silicone sheet 8 may be adhered to the bottom of the open container by means of gluing. The heat conductive silicone sheet 8 can also be fixed to the open container bottom by means of two-shot molding.
Further, in order to further reduce the heating time, the heat conductive silicone sheet 8 may be designed. Since the harder the thermally conductive silicone sheet 8 is, the smaller the contact area with the bottom of the open container is, the smaller the volume of the gap between the open container and the thermally conductive silicone sheet 8 is filled, thereby affecting heat conduction. However, the thermal silicon sheet 8 is too soft, so that the thermal silicon sheet 8 deforms in the use process and cannot be adhered to the open container. Therefore, the hardness of the heat-conducting silica gel sheet 8 is designed to be between 30 and 50, and the unit is Shore hardness. Since the thickness of the thermally conductive silicone sheet 8 also affects the heat transfer efficiency, the thickness of the thermally conductive silicone sheet 8 is designed. The thickness of the heat conductive silicone sheet 8 may be any thickness between 0.5mm and 1.5mm, and too thick may reduce heat transfer efficiency and too thin may increase manufacturing cost.
In a more preferred embodiment, since the excitation light is irradiated from directly above the open container, the observation of the irradiated microdroplet is also directly above, and thus the field of view of the observation needs to be considered. The surrounding part 2 and the bottom plate part 1 form a certain included angle with each other, so that the opening area of the top of the open container is larger than the area of the bottom plate part 1, thus the observation area can be increased, and the influence of the observation field on the observation result can be reduced.
In a preferred embodiment, the use scenario of the digital PCR well plate is: the digital PCR well plate needs to be placed in a corresponding recess of the analysis platform of the fully automatic digital PCR analysis system. The top of the surrounding part 2 extends to the outside of the open container to form a rim part 9. When the digital PCR pore plate is placed in the full-automatic PCR analysis system, the edge part 9 can be used as a supporting platform, so that the digital PCR pore plate is convenient to use. The rim portion 9 may be formed by injection molding together when the open container is injection molded.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, since the digital PCR plate is designed symmetrically, in order to facilitate the user to quickly identify the front and back of the digital PCR plate, an identification notch 10 is provided at the edge 9, and the identification notch 10 is mainly used for determining the direction.
The previous description of the disclosed embodiments is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present utility model. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the utility model.
