Description

本発明は、微小流路に微量な流体試料を流し、流体試料中の特定物質を測定するマイクロ流体装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a microfluidic device that allows a small amount of fluid sample to flow through a microchannel and measures a specific substance in the fluid sample.

現在、マイクロ化学分析システム（μＴＡＳ）に代表されるマイクロ流体装置が注目されている。マイクロ流体装置では生化学的な分析や反応を微小領域で行うことで、従来型の手法と比較して測定対象となる物質の測定量を少なくし、分析処理時間を大幅に短縮することを可能にしている。また、マイクロ流体装置を医療分野に応用することで、患者から採取する血液などのサンプル量、検査コストを軽減し、検査結果を迅速に提示することができる。   At present, a microfluidic device represented by a microchemical analysis system (μTAS) is attracting attention. Microfluidic devices perform biochemical analysis and reactions in a very small area, reducing the amount of substances to be measured compared to conventional methods and greatly shortening analysis processing time. I have to. In addition, by applying the microfluidic device to the medical field, the amount of sample such as blood collected from a patient and the test cost can be reduced, and the test result can be presented quickly.

上記のようなマイクロ流体装置の一例として特許文献１に示す従来技術を説明する。図７は、従来技術のマイクロ流体装置７０１の概略図である。マイクロ流体装置７０１は、流体試料を装置内に供給する入力ポート７０２、流体試料が流れる微小流路７０３、流体試料の流れを制御するバルブ７０４、流体試料中の特定物質を検出するセンシング部７０５、反応後の流体試料を排出する出力ポート７０６、流体試料を送液するマイクロポンプ７０７からなる。   As an example of the microfluidic device as described above, the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1 will be described. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a prior art microfluidic device 701. The microfluidic device 701 includes an input port 702 for supplying a fluid sample into the device, a microchannel 703 through which the fluid sample flows, a valve 704 for controlling the flow of the fluid sample, a sensing unit 705 for detecting a specific substance in the fluid sample, It comprises an output port 706 for discharging the fluid sample after the reaction, and a micropump 707 for feeding the fluid sample.

また、入力ポート７０２、もしくは出力ポート７０７は、マイクロポンプ機構７０７と一体化しており、外部装置を用いず送液することを可能にしている。上記マイクロ流体装置７０１では図８に示すように、ＰＤＭＳ（Ｐｏｌｙｄｉｍｅｔｈｙｌｓｉｌａｎｅ）のような自己接着性、通気性を有した弾性部材８０１にμｍオーダーの微小な溝形状（入力ポート８０２、流体試料が流れる微小流路８０３、流体試料の流れを制御するバルブ８０４、流体試料中の特定物質を検出するセンシング部８０５、反応後の流体試料を排出する出力ポート８０６）を加工し、ガラス基板８０７と貼り合わせることで微小流路７０３を形成している。   In addition, the input port 702 or the output port 707 is integrated with the micropump mechanism 707 and can send liquid without using an external device. In the microfluidic device 701, as shown in FIG. 8, a micro groove shape (input port 802, a micro fluid through which a fluid sample flows) is formed in an elastic member 801 having self-adhesive property and air permeability such as PDMS (Polydimethylsilane). The flow path 803, the valve 804 for controlling the flow of the fluid sample, the sensing unit 805 for detecting a specific substance in the fluid sample, and the output port 806 for discharging the fluid sample after the reaction are processed and bonded to the glass substrate 807. Thus, a micro flow path 703 is formed.

流体試料は入力ポート７０２から必要量が微小流路７０３内に送り込まれ、微小流路７０３中をマイクロポンプが送液している。このときのセンシング部７０５の断面Ａ−Ａ’における流体試料の流れの速度分布を示したものが図９である。断面Ａ−Ａ’における流体試料の速度は微小流路７０３側壁との粘性抵抗の影響から図９に示すように流路中央部では流れが速く、側壁に近づくほど流れが遅くなっている。   A necessary amount of the fluid sample is fed into the microchannel 703 from the input port 702, and the micropump feeds the microchannel 703. FIG. 9 shows the velocity distribution of the flow of the fluid sample in the cross section A-A ′ of the sensing unit 705 at this time. The velocity of the fluid sample in the cross section A-A ′ is faster in the center of the channel as shown in FIG. 9 due to the influence of viscous resistance with the side wall of the microchannel 703, and the flow becomes slower as it approaches the side wall.

このように、センシング部７０５の断面Ａ−Ａ’では流体試料の流れる速度が場所によって大きく異なっているために、センシング部７０５に供給される流体試料中の特定物質の量が場所によって大きく変化してしまう。この結果、センシング部７０５上での特定物質供給量の違いから検出速度の低下が発生することになる。
特開２００４−１０８２８５号公報 As described above, in the cross section AA ′ of the sensing unit 705, the flow rate of the fluid sample greatly varies depending on the location. Therefore, the amount of the specific substance in the fluid sample supplied to the sensing unit 705 varies greatly depending on the location. End up. As a result, a decrease in detection speed occurs due to the difference in the specific substance supply amount on the sensing unit 705.

そこで本発明においては、微小流路中で生化学的な分析や反応を行うマイクロ流体装置において、センシング部を流れる流体試料の微小流路断面での速度分布のむらを小さくすることを目的とする。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to reduce unevenness of velocity distribution in a cross section of a microfluidic sample of a fluid sample flowing through a sensing unit in a microfluidic device that performs biochemical analysis and reaction in the microchannel.

上記のような課題を解決するため、本発明では、微小流路中で生化学的な分析や反応を行うマイクロ流体装置内のセンシング部において、流れる流体試料の速度分布むらを解消する速度分布むら解消手段、具体的には前記流体試料が流れる経路中の一部または全部に、前記流体試料の流れに対して抵抗を与えるような凸形状の仕切り部材、即ち、障害物を配置して、微小流路断面方向における流体試料流れの速度分布むらを小さくするように構成した。   In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, in the sensing unit in the microfluidic device that performs biochemical analysis and reaction in the microchannel, the velocity distribution variation that eliminates the velocity distribution variation of the flowing fluid sample. Disposing means, specifically, a convex partition member that gives resistance to the flow of the fluid sample, that is, an obstacle, is arranged in part or all of the path through which the fluid sample flows, so that a minute The velocity distribution unevenness of the fluid sample flow in the channel cross-sectional direction is reduced.

微小流路中で生化学的な分析や反応を行うマイクロ流体装置内に流体試料の流れに対して抵抗を与えるような速度分布むら解消手段を設け、微小流路断面方向における流体試料流れの速度分布むらを小さくするように構成したため、流体試料中の特定物質供給量の場所による違いを小さくすることができる。したがって、本発明のマイクロ流体装置では流体試料中の特定物質の検出速度を向上させることができる。   In the microfluidic device that performs biochemical analysis and reaction in the microchannel, a means for eliminating uneven velocity distribution that provides resistance to the flow of the fluid sample is provided, and the velocity of the fluid sample flow in the cross section of the microchannel Since the distribution unevenness is configured to be small, the difference depending on the location of the specific substance supply amount in the fluid sample can be reduced. Therefore, in the microfluidic device of the present invention, the detection speed of the specific substance in the fluid sample can be improved.

（実施の形態１）
図１は、本発明の実施の形態１における微小流路中で生化学的な分析や反応を行うマイクロ流体装置１０１の概略図である。１０２は流体試料を装置内に送り込む入力ポート、１０３は流体試料が流れる微小流路、１０４は流体試料の流れを制御するバルブ、１０５は流体試料中の特定物質を検出するセンシング部、１０６はセンシングが終了した流体試料を廃液する出力ポート、１０７は流体試料を送液するポンプである。流体試料は入力ポート１０２から必要量が微小流路１０３内に送り込まれ、微小流路１０３中を負圧で送液している。 (Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a microfluidic device 101 that performs biochemical analysis and reaction in a microchannel according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. 102 is an input port for feeding the fluid sample into the apparatus, 103 is a micro flow channel through which the fluid sample flows, 104 is a valve for controlling the flow of the fluid sample, 105 is a sensing unit for detecting a specific substance in the fluid sample, and 106 is sensing. The output port 107 for draining the fluid sample after the completion of the operation is a pump 107 for feeding the fluid sample. A necessary amount of the fluid sample is fed from the input port 102 into the microchannel 103 and is fed through the microchannel 103 at a negative pressure.

図２はセンシング部１０５の断面Ａ-Ａ‘の概略図である。２０１は流路形成部材、２０２は１０３においてセンシング部１０５に正対して設けた仕切り部材であり、凸形状に形成されている。この凸形状部材の先端部はセンシング部１０５内に配置したセンサに近接している。   FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a cross section A-A ′ of the sensing unit 105. Reference numeral 201 denotes a flow path forming member, and 202 denotes a partition member provided facing the sensing unit 105 at 103, which is formed in a convex shape. The tip of the convex member is close to the sensor disposed in the sensing unit 105.

図３は、センシング部１０５の斜視図である。センシング部１０５が位置する微小流路１０３において、センシング部１０５に正対して設けられた凸形状部材は流体試料の流れ方向に沿って並列した複数の平板から構成されている。平板間の距離はＡ−Ａ’断面の中心付近で小さく流路抵抗が高くなっており、側壁付近ほど大きく流路抵抗が小さくなっている。入力ポート１０２から送り込まれた流体試料は、微小流路１０３を通過した後、センシング部１０５に到達する。さらに、センシング部１０５に流入した流体試料は各平板間に分散して流れていく。なお、配置された仕切り部材２０２を構成する平板の相互の距離、及び数量については、センシング部の大きさ、流体試料の流速等を考慮して決定すればよい。   FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the sensing unit 105. In the microchannel 103 in which the sensing unit 105 is located, the convex member provided directly facing the sensing unit 105 is composed of a plurality of flat plates arranged in parallel along the flow direction of the fluid sample. The distance between the flat plates is small near the center of the A-A ′ cross section and the flow resistance is high, and the flow resistance is large near the side wall. The fluid sample sent from the input port 102 reaches the sensing unit 105 after passing through the microchannel 103. Furthermore, the fluid sample that has flowed into the sensing unit 105 flows in a distributed manner between the flat plates. The mutual distance and quantity of the flat plates constituting the arranged partition member 202 may be determined in consideration of the size of the sensing unit, the flow rate of the fluid sample, and the like.

図４は、センシング部１０５の断面Ａ−Ａ’における流体試料の流れの速度分布である。流路抵抗が大きいＡ−Ａ’断面の中心付近では流速が小さくなり、流路抵抗が小さい側壁付近では流速が落ちにくいため、Ａ−Ａ’断面全体をみると流速のむらが小さくなっている。   FIG. 4 is a velocity distribution of the flow of the fluid sample in the cross section A-A ′ of the sensing unit 105. Since the flow velocity is small near the center of the A-A ′ cross section where the flow path resistance is large, and the flow velocity is difficult to decrease near the side wall where the flow path resistance is small, unevenness in the flow velocity is small when the entire A-A ′ cross section is viewed.

図５は、センシング部１０５において特定物質の反応エネルギーを検出した結果であり、検出時間と信号強度の関係を表す。横軸５０１は検出時間、縦軸５０２は信号強度、破線５０３は本実施例におけるセンシング部１０５の信号、破線５０４は従来技術における場合のセンシング部１０５の信号、横軸５０２上の点５０５は流体試料がセンシング部１０５に到達した時間である。従来技術のセンシング部１０５では、流速分布のむらが大きいため検出速度が小さいが、一方、本実施例のように凸形状部材を設けた場合、センシング部１０５では流速分布のむらが小さい分、特定物質の供給量が増え検出速度が大きくなっている。したがって、本実施例のようなセンシング部１０５では流体試料中の特定物質の検出速度を向上させることができる。   FIG. 5 shows the result of detecting the reaction energy of the specific substance in the sensing unit 105, and shows the relationship between the detection time and the signal intensity. The horizontal axis 501 is the detection time, the vertical axis 502 is the signal intensity, the broken line 503 is the signal of the sensing unit 105 in this embodiment, the broken line 504 is the signal of the sensing unit 105 in the prior art, and the point 505 on the horizontal axis 502 is the fluid This is the time when the sample reaches the sensing unit 105. In the sensing unit 105 of the prior art, the detection speed is low because the unevenness of the flow velocity distribution is large. On the other hand, when the convex member is provided as in this embodiment, the unevenness of the flow velocity distribution is small in the sensing unit 105. The supply amount increases and the detection speed increases. Therefore, the sensing unit 105 as in the present embodiment can improve the detection speed of the specific substance in the fluid sample.

（実施の形態２）
本発明の実施の形態２における微小流路中で生化学的な分析や反応を行うマイクロ流体装置１０１の概略構成は、図１に示すように、流体試料を装置内に送り込む入力ポート１０２、流体試料が流れる微小流路１０３、流体試料の流れを制御するバルブ１０４、流体試料中の特定物質を検出するセンシング部１０５、センシングが終了した流体試料を廃液する出力ポート１０６、流体試料を送液するポンプ１０７からなり、前述した実施の形態１におけるマイクロ流体装置とはセンシング部１０５内に設けた仕切り部材の形状が相違する点で異なるものである。 (Embodiment 2)
As shown in FIG. 1, the schematic configuration of a microfluidic device 101 that performs biochemical analysis and reaction in a microchannel according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention includes an input port 102 for feeding a fluid sample into the device, a fluid A microchannel 103 through which a sample flows, a valve 104 that controls the flow of the fluid sample, a sensing unit 105 that detects a specific substance in the fluid sample, an output port 106 that drains the fluid sample that has been sensed, and a fluid sample that is sent It consists of a pump 107 and is different from the microfluidic device in the first embodiment described above in that the shape of the partition member provided in the sensing unit 105 is different.

図６はこのセンシング部１０５の斜視図である。２０１は流路形成部材、２０２はセンシング部１０５の微小流路１０３において、センシング部１０５内に配置したセンサに正対して設けた仕切り部材である。センシング部１０５が位置する微小流路１０３において、センシング部１０５内に配置したセンサに正対して設けられた仕切り部材は、凸形状の部材からなり、流体試料の流れ方向と垂直に並列した複数の平板から構成され、図６に示すように２つの櫛歯を互いに組み合わしたような形状で凸形状の部材が配置されている。平板の一方の端はセンシング部１０５の微小流路１０３の側壁と接しており、側壁と接する端の向きが交互に変わることで、流体試料の流れはセンシング部１０５上でミアンダ状に流れることとなる。   FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the sensing unit 105. Reference numeral 201 denotes a flow path forming member, and reference numeral 202 denotes a partition member provided in the minute flow path 103 of the sensing unit 105 so as to face a sensor disposed in the sensing unit 105. In the microchannel 103 in which the sensing unit 105 is located, the partition member provided to face the sensor disposed in the sensing unit 105 is formed of a convex member, and is parallel to the flow direction of the fluid sample. Convex-shaped members are arranged in a shape composed of a flat plate and in which two comb teeth are combined with each other as shown in FIG. One end of the flat plate is in contact with the side wall of the microchannel 103 of the sensing unit 105, and the direction of the end in contact with the side wall alternately changes, so that the flow of the fluid sample flows in a meander shape on the sensing unit 105. Become.

また、凸形状部材はセンシング部１０５に近接している。入力ポート１０２から送り込まれた流体試料は、微小流路１０３を通過した後センシング部１０５に到達する。センシング部１０５上では正対して形成された平板間に沿って流体試料の流れはミアンダ状の流れとなる。したがって微小流路１０３から流れてきた流体試料はセンシング部１０５上に満遍なく行き渡ることができる。   The convex member is close to the sensing unit 105. The fluid sample sent from the input port 102 reaches the sensing unit 105 after passing through the microchannel 103. On the sensing unit 105, the flow of the fluid sample becomes a meandering flow along the flat plates formed in a face-to-face relationship. Therefore, the fluid sample flowing from the microchannel 103 can be distributed evenly on the sensing unit 105.

図５は、センシング部１０５において特定物質の反応エネルギーを検出した結果であり、検出時間と信号強度の関係を表す。横軸５０１は検出時間、縦軸５０２は信号強度、破線５０３は本実施例におけるセンシング部１０５の信号、破線５０４は従来技術における場合のセンシング部１０５の信号、横軸５０２上の点５０５は流体試料がセンシング部１０５に到達した時間である。従来技術のセンシング部１０５では、流速分布のむらが大きいため検出速度が小さいが、一方、本実施例のように凸形状部材を設けた場合、センシング部１０５では流速分布のむらが小さい分、特定物質の供給量が増え検出速度が大きくなっている。したがって、本実施例のようなセンシング部１０５では流体試料中の特定物質の検出速度を向上させることができる。   FIG. 5 shows the result of detecting the reaction energy of the specific substance in the sensing unit 105, and shows the relationship between the detection time and the signal intensity. The horizontal axis 501 is the detection time, the vertical axis 502 is the signal intensity, the broken line 503 is the signal of the sensing unit 105 in this embodiment, the broken line 504 is the signal of the sensing unit 105 in the prior art, and the point 505 on the horizontal axis 502 is the fluid This is the time when the sample reaches the sensing unit 105. In the sensing unit 105 of the prior art, the detection speed is low because the unevenness of the flow velocity distribution is large. On the other hand, when the convex member is provided as in this embodiment, the unevenness of the flow velocity distribution is small in the sensing unit 105. The supply amount increases and the detection speed increases. Therefore, the sensing unit 105 as in the present embodiment can improve the detection speed of the specific substance in the fluid sample.
