Description

A kind of biochip reaction apparatus
Technical field
The utility model relates to the reaction and the cleaning equipment of the robotization in clinical medical inspection and the chemical analysis, exactly, be a kind of, integrate constant temperature, vibration, cleaning function at biochip, and the reaction and the washing facility of the robotization of the compatible elisa plate bar of energy.
Background technology
Biochip technology is to have new and high technology characteristics of the times, that interdisciplinary studies such as collection physics, microelectronics and molecular biology intersect to form in the high-technology field in recent years.Microfluid analysis unit and system that it mainly makes up by the plane Micrometer-Nanometer Processing Technology detect with accurate, quick, the large information capacity of realizing pair cell, protein, nucleic acid and other biological components.This technological breakthrough the limitation of traditional method of inspection, have detect flux greatly, accurately and fast, advantage such as trace, numerous areas such as immunodiagnosis, gene diagnosis, functional gene research, genomic library figure type analysis, new medicament screen, Food Inspection, medical jurisprudence have been widely used in, also be the inexorable trend of following clinical examination diagnostic field development, many indexs, parallel, have the classic method incomparable advantage aspect making a definite diagnosis fast.Biochip and support equipment biochip supplies analysis, biochip reaction apparatus are formed detection system, have demonstrated fully the characteristics such as robotization, systematization, informationization of advanced medical diagnosis on disease technology.And in biochip or ELISA experiment, reaction fully, rational mode of washing are to guarantee its result necessary condition accurately and reliably.
At present, only be directed to the plate machine of washing of ELISA on the market, also be not directed to the plate machine of washing of chip film washing, more will not react and wash the reaction instrument that both combine.Existing ELISA washes the plate machine, as Chinese patent notification number CN2276635Y " ELIAS microplate washer automatically ", ingredients such as appliance controling plate, pump, worktable, vertical movement mechanism, horicontal motion mechanism have been included only, its objective table of placing the elisa plate bar is relatively simple for structure, the anchor clamps mode of the groove that is complementary with the elisa plate bar is made in employing on objective table, the one side is fixed on the horicontal motion mechanism, and opposite side slides on surface level by a slide block.And the Bioexperiment of reacting based on ELISA at present all is the pattern operation by reacting on independent constant temperature shaking table instrument, biochip is to grow up on the basis of ELISA, still continued the operator scheme of reacting, so also do not have on the plate machine to occur to supply the thermostat of ELISA or chip isothermal reaction in washing before by on independent constant temperature shaking table instrument.No matter consider from isothermal reaction and washing, vibration individual feature module, still from the reaction of constant temperature shaking table add wash the plate machine this operator scheme on the whole, all have certain defective.
One, consider that from reaction or washing individual feature existing constant temperature shaking table and ELISA wash the plate machine and have certain defective:
1. temperature uniformity in the temperature-controlling reaction apparatus casing, stability, accuracy are all poor, and bulky.(see that specifically the temperature-controlling reaction apparatus separate case applies for a patent.)
2. objective table adopts the simple anchor clamps mode of the groove that is complementary with the elisa plate bar on objective table, though the elisa plate bar can be fixed on the objective table, not only influences kinematic accuracy and serviceable life, but also pollutes easily and instrument failure.(objective table separate case is applied for a patent.)
3. control the amount of the every hole of elisa plate bar liquid feeding volume by the time of control liquid stream, form is single, can't satisfy increasingly sophisticated biomedicine and detect requirement.
4. programmed control can't be satisfied the unique washing requirement of chip at the wash conditions design of ELISA grade strip.
Two, this constant temperature shaking table reaction adds the conventional mode of operation of washing the plate machine, though can satisfy the function that detects at present substantially, has following deficiency:
1. operate loaded down with trivial details: all need carry out on two kinds of equipment owing to whenever finish single job, the transmission of equipment room also must be finished by the people, operates loaded down with trivial details.
2. test period is long: owing to all having the reaction of 2 steps, each test finishes with repeatedly vibrating, if it is by manually-operated, complicated, consuming time.
3. test error is bigger: the equipment of use is many more, and the error of being brought by every equipment is many more, and manually-operated also brings more operate miss.
Therefore, it is a kind of at biochip that this area presses for exploitation, integrates chip film reaction and washing function, simultaneously isothermal reaction, vibration and the cleaning device of also compatible elisa plate bar.And the biochip reaction apparatus that the utility model relates to has met such demand just, not only integrates these several functions, can finish all operations automatically, and can also satisfy the personalized requirement of ELISA, chip.
