Definitions
- MICROREACTOR PROCESS FOR PREPARING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING A BIOCHEMICAL REACTION
- the present invention relates to a microreactor.
- the invention also relates to a process for preparing, manufacturing such a microreactor.
- the invention finally relates to a process for carrying out a biochemical or biological reaction which implements said microreactor.
- the field of the invention can be defined as that of miniaturized systems or microsystems which are used essentially for chemical analysis and synthesis.
- the preferred fields of chemical microreactors are liquid and gas phase reactions including homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, catalytic oxidation, heterocyclic synthesis and photochemical reactions.
- document [3] relates to the manufacture of nanocolumns for liquid chromatography by micromachining techniques.
- microcolumns comprise “monoliths”, preferably hexagonal supporting the stationary phase, and are provided with inlet and outlet channels having a particular architecture with a network of channels which ensures that the stream of liquid entering the column is divided into two, repeatedly before it reaches the head of the column.
- the stationary phase consists of poly (styrene sulfate) electrostatically bonded.
- the poly (styrene sulfate) is absorbed from a solution on the surface of the channels after silylation of the walls of the channels, using (gamma-aminopropyl) -trimethoxysilane.
- the surfaces of the monoliths can be treated to provide interactions between these surfaces and a sample which crosses the column of separation, in order to separate the constituents of the sample.
- coatings which can be provided with the monoliths, mention may be made, for example, of antibody coatings, cationic or anionic coatings, chelating agents, organic coatings, such as complex sugars and heparin, gels and reverse phase coatings, such as C18.
- the digestion rate can be optimized by confining the digestion reactions in smaller volumes.
- the volumes available in integrated devices on chips allow to use very small quantities of samples and this in very small reaction zones, in order to increase the digestion rates. It has recently been shown that it is possible to digest proteins inside wells made in microdevices. As we have already seen, digestion being carried out in solution leads to self-digestion of the proteins which can interfere with an analysis by mass spectrometry. This phenomenon is all the more important when it is desired to improve the speed of digestion by increasing the concentrations of proteolytic species.

- the reference represents 50 ⁇ m.
- the microreactor according to the invention comprises an inlet zone (1), a reaction zone (2) forming the "reactor" proper, and, finally, a exit area (3).
- the microreactor shown schematically in FIG. 1, has an elongated shape: it is the preferred shape of the reactor with a length, for example, of 10 to 30 mm, while its small dimension or width or diameter, is, by example, from 0.5 mm to 1 mm, which justifies the term "microreactor". These dimensions are given by way of example and can be widely modified as required.
- the microreactor according to the invention may have, for example, the configuration of the column of document US-A-6,156,273, cited above, but it is recalled that it is fundamentally distinguished therefrom by the fact that it comprises a compound fixed on its surfaces allowing a reaction, that they are therefore a reactor and not a separation device.
- the entry zone (1) generally consists of a microchannel, followed by a system of baffles arranged in the longitudinal direction of the microreactor.
- This system of baffles or deflectors - ** makes it possible to impose, for a fixed flow rate of the fluid current upstream of the microreactor, a constant flow speed throughout the network of channels through the baffles, before entering the reactor. main.
- the network of channels also promotes a distribution, a homogeneous distribution of the fluid in order to disperse it over the entire width of the reaction zone.
- the arrangement for example, dichotomous of the baffles or deflectors, makes it possible to increase the surface / volume ratio as the fluid current advances towards the heart of the microreactor.
- Figure 2 shows the surface area to volume ratio (S / V) for each stage the input of a microreactor according to the invention. It can be seen that the closer we get to the start of the reaction zone (stage 8), the higher the surface / volume ratio.
- the increase in the surface-to-volume ratio progressively improves the yield of the biological or biochemical reaction, until it reaches its optimum in the reactor core, that is to say in the zone, known as the reaction zone. .
- the increase in surface is preferably provided by the presence of substantially vertical studs on a substrate, these studs can have various geometries and also various sizes and steps, as described below, in relation to the figure. 3.
- the length of the microreactor is also variable.
- the length is generally fixed, in order to be able to optimize the efficiency of the reactor, for a minimum bulk.
- the exit area of the microreactor (3) is preferably identical in shape to the inlet, this part makes it possible, in particular, to bring together the various products resulting from the biological reaction which has taken place in the microreactor, that is to say - essentially say in the reaction zone (2) before using them later, for example, to analyze them.
- the same substrate for example the same wafer (“wafer") to integrate several microreactors, that is to say to form a set of microreactors on the same substrate.
- the microreactors located on the same substrate will be different, the differences relating, for example, to the geometry of the pads, making it possible to increase the surface area to volume ratio and / or the spacing between pads and / or the difference between rows and / or the length of the reactor.
- the reactor inlet is only modified according to the size of the adopted studs.
- Figure 3 is a top view of the input of the microreactor according to the invention, produced on a flat substrate.
- microreactor is fed by a “microchannel” channel (31) of width, for example, 100 ⁇ m, which ends in a channel or distributor (32) of width, for example, 400 ⁇ m, then, finally, in the first stage ( 33) of the actual entry area, which has a width of, for example, 640 ⁇ m.
- a “microchannel” channel (31) of width for example, 100 ⁇ m
- a channel or distributor (32) of width for example, 400 ⁇ m
- the channel forming the first stage is divided for the first time into two channels (34) and (35) whose widths are equal, namely: at 320 ⁇ m, and whose sum of widths is equal to that of the single channel (33 ).
- each of the channels of a stage being divided into two channels of equal width and the total width of the channels of each stage being constant and always equal to the width of the channel of the first floor
- the channels (36) are sixty-four and each have a width, for example of 10 ⁇ m.
- the dimensions in microns of the microreactor inlet zone, illustrated in FIG. 1, have been indicated in Table I below, these dimensions are given only by way of example:
- FIG. 3 can represent both the input and the output of a microreactor according to the invention.
- the channel (31) then located at the bottom of the figure, represents the outlet or evacuation channel.
- This figure shows the channels (36), already described above, which terminate in the reaction zone, proper, (41) of the microreactor according to the invention.
- the studs have a base and a top in the shape of a regular hexagon, each of these hexagons being inscribed in a circle of radius A, which is generally from 1 to 10 ⁇ m, for example 5 ⁇ m (at example).
- the studs of the two successive rows are staggered and form, between them, parallel channels in the direction of flow 46, which divide into channels 47, which then meet in channels 48 again parallel to the direction of flow.
- the centers of the studs for example hexagons are spaced 10 to 30 ⁇ m apart, for example, 14 ⁇ m (B) and the axes of two rows successive are generally spaced 10 to 30 ⁇ m, for example 12 ⁇ m (C).
- edge of the reaction zone resumes the external shape of the studs in order to maintain a constant channel section and to avoid the dispersion of the fluid flow speed between the edges and the center of the reactor.
- the reaction zone ensures practically all the biological function of the microreactor.
- the increase in surface area is precisely brought about by the presence of the studs which can, in addition to the hexagonal geometry shown in the figure, have other geometries, for example the studs can be in the form of a diamond, ellipse, disc, and also have a different size and pitch (difference between two studs), for example from 10 to 30 ⁇ m.
- a section is used either hexagonal, as in FIG. 4, or square, which fits into a circle of variable diameter, for example from 2 to 20 ⁇ m, this in order to obtain a compromise between a maximum surface, defining a network of interconnected microchannels practically parallel to the longitudinal axis of the microreactor (the presence of channels perpendicular to the longitudinal axis would induce product stagnation and would decrease the efficiency of the microreactor) and minimize the complexity of the technological implementation.
- the exit area is generally symmetrical to the entry area.
- the microreactor according to the invention can be manufactured for any suitable process, but in the case where it is produced on, in a substantially planar substrate, the microreactor can be, for example, produced by anisotropic (or isotropic) dry etching in silicon, using, for example, a process of the type DRIE ICP (Deep Reactive Ion Etching / Inductively Coupled Plasma, in English).
- DRIE ICP Deep Reactive Ion Etching / Inductively Coupled Plasma
- the patterns - by pattern we mean the supply and discharge channels, the inlet, reaction, outlet zones, formed, for example, by the deflectors and studs - are then defined in silicon by a mask of etching, for example by a photosensitive resin, commonly used in microelectronics, or, for example, by silica, this mask being of sufficient thickness to allow the etching of the patterns in silicon, at the thickness chosen by the operator, for example, from 50 ⁇ m to 100 ⁇ m.
- the patterns can be defined in this etching mask, for example, by a lithography process conventionally encountered in microelectronics, followed, for example, in the case of silica, by a reactive ion etching of this material.
- the reactors can also be, for example, produced by anisotropic dry etching in silica, the protective mask chosen then being able to be, for example, silicon.
- the microreactor can also be produced in other materials, for example, in polymers, such as epoxy resins, elastomers, plastics.
- microtechnologies makes it possible to manufacture, using anisotropic or isotropic etching of structures with complex geometries and having very large surface area ratios, without the drawbacks of microbead linings.
- the reactor can then be covered, for example, by a PD S (polydimethylsiloxane) plate, with or without inlet and / or outlet orifices, after treatment of said cover and of the reactor with an oxygen plasma, such as described in the literature.
- PDMS polydimethylsiloxane
- PDMS is known to have spontaneous adhesion properties on most solid supports.
- the reactor can also, for example, be hooded by molecular sealing of a silica plate or a glass plate, with or without inlet and / or outlet orifices, after cleaning and chemical preparation of the two substrates hydroxyl
