Definitions
- the present invention relates to the production of high density miniaturized networks of samples of biological substances (oligonucleotides, DNA, ...), often designated “biochips", for their treatment.
- Such networks are particularly useful tools in the field of molecular biology, as evidenced, in particular, by the publications "High-density oligonucleotides arrays” (AP Blanchard et Al. - Biosensors & Biolectronics, Vol. 11, N ° 6/7, pp. 686-690, 1996) and "Array of hope” (ES Lander - Nature Genetics Supplement, Vol. 21, January 1999).
- the invention relates, more particularly, to a multi-channel fluid dispenser making it possible to withdraw liquid from a plurality of cavities formed on a reservoir tray and then to deposit a network of microdrops on a receiving tray so as to constitute a "biochip".
- the dispenser according to the invention is of the type comprising:
- the channels are formed by a bundle of capillary wires gathered on a print head. They are ordered all together.
- the dispenser according to the invention is designed to respond, better than the systems of the prior art mentioned above, to the following main requirements:
- the dispenser according to the invention is characterized in that the channels are formed in a plurality of flexible plates so as to converge from their first ends to their second ends, in that these plates are linked together by their part which has the second ends of the channels and in that each plate is formed of two polymeric sheets sealed together and one of which, at least, has a network of converging grooves forming the channels.
- the dispenser according to the invention also has the following main characteristics:
- the reservoir plate is closed, in a leaktight manner, by a cover through which the channels pass and the filling means are arranged so as to establish an overpressure in the space between the cover and the cavities;
- the filling means comprise a bellows joining the cover and its tray by their periphery;
- Each channel has a first narrowing located near its second end and a second narrowing located at this end and the expulsion means comprise a piezoelectric actuator disposed on an outer wall of the channel, between its two narrowing, and having the role of deforming it there so as to reduce the thickness of the channel;
- the expulsion means comprise a second piezoelectric actuator identical to the first and arranged opposite it on the other outer wall of the channel;
- the piezoelectric actuator is formed of a stack which comprises, starting from the outer wall of the channel, a lower metal electrode, an insulation layer, a layer of piezoelectric material, a new insulation layer and an upper metal electrode; finally,
- each actuator is controlled individually.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 represent, respectively seen from the front and from the side, a dispenser according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows, arranged side by side, respecting the ratio of their dimensions, a tank tray and a receiver tray;
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view of a channel
- FIG. 5 shows, in section, the structure of the actuator associated with each channel.
- Figures 1 and 2 show at 10 a reservoir plate, made of rigid glass or plastic, provided with a plurality of cavities 12, arranged in a matrix, in each of which is disposed a biological liquid 14, samples of which must be deposited, in the form of micro-drops, on a miniaturized receiving tray 16, also made of glass or rigid plastic (nylon).
- a reservoir plate made of rigid glass or plastic, provided with a plurality of cavities 12, arranged in a matrix, in each of which is disposed a biological liquid 14, samples of which must be deposited, in the form of micro-drops, on a miniaturized receiving tray 16, also made of glass or rigid plastic (nylon).
- the reservoir tray 10 has a surface of approximately 100 cm 2 (12.5 cm x 8.5 cm) and has 384 cavities 12, having a volume of approximately 100 ⁇ l, arranged in a matrix of 16 columns of 24 rows and separated by each other, center to center, approximately 4.5 mm.
- the receiving plate 16 has no cavities and has an area of only about 1 cm 2 (1.2 cm x 0.8 cm).
- the device according to the invention comprises a plurality of flexible transfer plates 18 assembled together. These plates are made of polyimide, for example and have a thickness of the order of 50 to 150 ⁇ m.
- Each plate 18 has a lower part in the form of an isosceles trapezoid 20, forming a fluidic interface, the large base of which has substantially the same length as the width of the reservoir plate 10 and is crenellated so as to end in as many end portions. 22 that the reservoir plate comprises columns of cavities 12, ie 16 in the example described. The slots are dimensioned so that the portions 22 can penetrate into the cavities 12.
- the fluidic interface 20 in the shape of a trapezoid is extended, from its small base, by a rectangular part 24 whose length corresponds substantially to the width fe of the receiving plate 16.
- Each flexible plate 18 is provided with a bundle of channels 26 which originate in each of its end portions 22 and terminate, parallel to each other, in the upper part 24. Typically, in the embodiment described , the channels 26 are then spaced from each other, center to center, by 0.5 mm.
- the device according to the invention comprises as many identical plates 18 as the reservoir plate 10 comprises rows, that is 24 in the example described, the end portions 22 of each plate being intended to take place in one of the columns of the tray.
- the flexible plates 18 are assembled, at their upper part, parallel to each other, in a frame 28, to form a printing head whose length corresponds substantially to the length L2 of the receiver plate 16 and whose width, as already mentioned, corresponds substantially to its width fe.
- the plates could also have a base of length corresponding to the length L1 of the reservoir tray 10.
- the reservoir tray 10 is closed, in a leaktight manner, by a cover 30 traversed , also in a sealed manner, by the flexible plates 18.
- the sealing on the periphery is ensured by a bellows 32 whose role will appear below.
- FIG. 4 shows, on a larger scale, the way in which the flexible plates 18 and their channels 26 are made. It appears that these plates are formed from two thin plastic sheets 34 and 36, one of which , the upper sheet 34 in the figure, was previously engraved, by any process well known to those skilled in the art, to draw the outline of the channels 26 and which are then assembled to each other by a rolling process , also well known to those skilled in the art.
- the sheets 34 and 36 have a thickness of 25 to 50 ⁇ m, while the channels 26 have a depth of 70 to 50 ⁇ m and a width of 30 to 1000 ⁇ m.
- the total volume of a channel is approximately 0.5 to 3 ⁇ L.
- the plates 18 comprise, fixed on their upper sheet 34, opposite each channel 26, a piezoelectric actuator 38 whose role is to deform the sheet at this location in order to reduce the thickness of the channel.
- the channel 26 opens to the outside of the sheet by a narrowing forming a spout 40, while, on the other side, the channel has a narrowing 42.
- the spout 40 and the narrowing 42 have the same depth, from 10 to 40 ⁇ m, and the same width, from 40 to 90 ⁇ m. The dimensions of the narrowing may even be smaller than those of the spout.
- FIG. 5 shows that the actuator 38 is formed of a stack which comprises, starting from the sheet 34, a lower metal electrode 44, an insulation layer 46, a layer of piezoelectric material 48, a new layer insulation 50 and an upper metal electrode 52. The two electrodes are associated with electrical conductors 54 allowing the actuator to be controlled.
- the electrodes 44 and 52 are deposited by evaporation, while the insulation layers 46 and 50 are deposited by plasma and the piezoelectric layer 48 is deposited by vaporization using a magnetron. As shown in FIG. 1, the electrical supply conductors of the various actuators 38 lead to a control circuit 56 which, under the orders of a computer 58, ensures their excitation.
- the assembly formed by the transfer plates 18 assembled is placed above the reservoir plate 10, the cavities 12 of which contain the liquids 14 to be transferred to the receiver plate 16.
- the alignment is carried out so that after passing through the cover 30, each of the end portions 22 of the transfer plates 18 is located vertically in a cavity 12.
- the ends of the plates are immersed in the liquid, the latter is sucked into the different channels 26 by capillarity.
- the receiving plate 16 can thus receive a network of micro-drops of liquid formed of the same number of rows and columns as the reservoir plate but, as already mentioned, on a greatly reduced scale.
- the micro-drops can have a volume of 20 pL to 1 nL.
- the channels 26 could be subjected to the effect of two identical actuators 38 arranged face to face on the outside of each of the sheets forming the flexible plates. Such an arrangement allows better control of the direction of ejection of the drops.
- the present description has been made with reference to a flexible plate formed from two sheets sealed together.
- the plate could be formed from three sheets, the central sheet of which would be pierced with through openings forming the channels.
