Definitions
- These devices generally comprise a flat, microstructured substrate, that is to say provided with micrometric wells, on which the cells are deposited, as well as one or more channels making it possible, by actuation of a pump, to create a suction at the base of these wells and thereby achieve a gigaseal between the substrate and a fragment of the plasma membrane of these cells.
- micrometric wells on which the cells are deposited, as well as one or more channels making it possible, by actuation of a pump, to create a suction at the base of these wells and thereby achieve a gigaseal between the substrate and a fragment of the plasma membrane of these cells.
- a method of controlling the positioning of a biological element on a zone of a support in which, this biological element being marked by a tracer emitting a light radiation and the area of the support on which it is to be positioned being located in a layer of a material capable of trapping this light radiation: a) the biological element is allowed to position itself on the area of the support; b) the intensity of the light radiation trapped in said layer is measured; and c) determining the positioning of the biological element by comparing the intensity value thus measured with at least one reference value; steps a), b) and c) can be carried out successively or simultaneously.
- the method according to the invention consists in an optical control of the positioning of the biological element with respect to the area of the support on which it is intended to be positioned, and in particular in monitoring this positioning over time.
- This optical control is based on the property that a radiation emitted by a light source has to behave differently in a layer of a material more refractive than the medium in which it is emitted according to the distance which separates said light source from the surface of this layer. Indeed, as shown experimentally by M. Lieberherr et al. in Surface Science, vol. 189/190, 954-959, 1987 [3], and illustrated in FIG.
- the biological element can also be labeled with a mineral fluorescent tracer such as a "quantum dot", as described by B.
- step a) of the process can consist in letting this biological element settle on the support area, for example by simple sedimentation, or, on the contrary, in acting on this element so as to facilitate , accelerate or optimize its positioning, for example by applying a pressure field, an electric field, or the like.
- step b) the measurement of the intensity of the light radiation trapped in the layer implies that this radiation is previously extracted from this layer, that is to say that it is brought out of this layer after s '' be propagated there by internal reflection.
- this extraction can be carried out by means which the support comprises permanently or with which the latter is provisionally provided before measuring the intensity of the trapped light radiation, or even before allowing the biological element of position in the case where steps a) and b) are not carried out simultaneously.
- the method according to the invention comprise, prior to step a) or between steps a) and b), a step consisting in providing the support with means for extracting the light radiation trapped in the layer.
- the measurement of the light radiation trapped in the layer can be optimized by the presence of means suitable for collecting the light radiation extracted from this layer before its intensity is measured, of the lens (s) type. ) convergent (s), mirror (s), possibly associated with one or more lenses, matrix of microlenses and / or micromirrors, or the like.
- the method according to the invention also comprise, prior to step a) or between steps a) and b), a step consisting in placing, opposite the layer, means for collecting the light radiation extract of this layer if such means are not initially present.
- Step b) of the method can be carried out by any system making it possible to detect and quantify light radiation such as, for example, a point sensor of the photomultiplier or photodiode tube type, or an image sensor such as a video tube, a camera CCD, CMOS camera or photodiode camera.
- step c) it can notably consist in comparing the intensity value measured with a standard curve expressing the variation of the light intensity trapped in the layer as a function of the position of the biological element relative to the area of the support on which it must be positioned, previously established under identical experimental conditions.
- the positioning of the biological element on the area of the support preferably comprises the sealing of this element on this area.
- step a) of the method according to the invention preferably comprises the creation of a depression in this opening suitable for allowing the biological element to partially penetrate there and to seal on its edges.
- steps a), b) and c) are preferably carried out simultaneously so as to control the quality of the seal as it is established.
- the biological element can be any natural or artificial element at least part of which consists of a biological membrane or reproduces the functional characteristics of a biological membrane, such as a cell or a cell organelle of the vacuole type, device golgi, mitochondria, reticulum endoplasmic, lysosome, ..., a fragment of biological membrane, with or without cytosolic parts, an artificial lipid bilayer such as a phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylglycerol film, with one or more protein pores, or even a biomimetic membrane .
- the biological element is a cell.
- the subject of the invention is also a device for controlling the positioning of at least one biological element on at least one area of a support, which comprises: - a support comprising a layer of a material capable of trapping expected light radiation to be emitted by said biological element, and means for extracting the light radiation trapped in this layer, said area of the support being located in said layer; and - means for measuring the intensity of the light radiation extracted from said layer.
- the support is a tube open at its two ends and the area on which the biological element is to be positioned is one of the two openings of this tube.
- the support is preferably a micropipette, and in particular a micropipette suitable for implementing the patch-clamp technique.
- the support is a planar support, that is to say of generally planar shape, and the area on which the biological element to be positioned is an opening that this support comprises, which can consist of a depression, more or less pronounced, hollowed out in one of the faces of the support or be a through opening, that is to say s extending from one side to the other of the support.
- the support is preferably a support suitable for implementing the patch-clamp technique.
- the layer of material capable of trapping light radiation can in particular be made of organic or mineral glass, silica, silicon nitride, titanium dioxide, hafnium dioxide, alumina, silica charged with potassium or silver ions, or a synthetic polymer.
- This layer may, moreover, extend over the entire thickness of the support or, on the contrary, constitute only a part thereof, provided that the other material or materials constituting the support which are located in contact with it have a refractive index lower than that of the material which forms it. In any event, it has a thickness of at least 200 nm.
