Description

本発明は、電極を利用した微生物や微粒子の操作および測定が可能な電極基板に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an electrode substrate capable of handling and measuring microorganisms and fine particles using an electrode.

昨今、食中毒や感染症などの原因となり、人体に何らかの害を及ぼす可能性がある微生物を迅速、簡便、高感度に定量測定するニーズは特に高い。食品の製造工程や微生物検査施設を備えない診療所など、その場で微生物検査を実施することで、これらの防止、予防が可能になるためである。また、いわゆるバイオセンサにおいて、抗体など特定の物質に特異的に結合する物質を標識したポリスチレンなどの人工微粒子を用いて、検体中の生化学的物質を定量測定する際に、検体中の微粒子数あるいはその結合状態を定量測定する必要がある。このように、昨今、液体中に含まれる微粒子を迅速、簡便、定量的に測定する要求は高い。   In recent years, there is a particularly high need for rapid, simple, and highly sensitive quantitative measurement of microorganisms that cause food poisoning, infections, and the like and can cause some harm to the human body. This is because it is possible to prevent and prevent these by conducting microbiological tests on the spot, such as in a clinic that does not have a food production process or microbiological testing facility. In addition, in so-called biosensors, the number of fine particles in a sample when quantitatively measuring a biochemical substance in the sample using polystyrene or other artificial fine particles labeled with a substance that specifically binds to a specific substance such as an antibody. Alternatively, it is necessary to quantitatively measure the binding state. Thus, nowadays, there is a high demand for quickly, simply and quantitatively measuring fine particles contained in a liquid.

従来、微生物の検査法として最も一般的に用いられるのは培養法である。培養法は、培地上に微生物検体を塗抹し、微生物が生育条件下で培養を行い、形成される培地上のコロニー数を計数することで微生物数を定量する方法である。しかし、コロニー形成までに通常1〜2日、微生物種によっては数週間を要するため、迅速な検査を実施できない問題があった。また、濃縮や希釈、培地への塗抹などが必要なため、専門家による操作が必要であり、簡便な検査が実施できない、あるいは操作上のバラツキによる精度低下があった。   Conventionally, the culture method is the most commonly used method for testing microorganisms. The culture method is a method of quantifying the number of microorganisms by smearing a microorganism sample on a medium, culturing the microorganism under growth conditions, and counting the number of colonies on the formed medium. However, since it usually takes 1 to 2 days for colony formation and several weeks depending on the microorganism species, there is a problem that rapid inspection cannot be performed. Further, since concentration, dilution, smearing on the medium, and the like are necessary, an operation by a specialist is necessary, and a simple test cannot be performed, or there is a decrease in accuracy due to operational variations.

迅速、簡便、高感度な微生物数測定法として、誘電泳動とインピーダンス計測を組み合わせたDEPIM法がある(例えば特許文献1)。   There is a DEPIM method combining dielectrophoresis and impedance measurement as a rapid, simple, and highly sensitive method for measuring the number of microorganisms (for example, Patent Document 1).

DEPIM法は、微生物を誘電泳動力によってマイクロ電極に捕集し、同時にマイクロ電極のインピーダンス変化を測定することによって被検査溶液中の微生物数を定量測定する方法である。微生物に働く誘電泳動力を十分大きくし、微生物を電極ギャップに確実に捕集する必要があるため、このような微小物質の応答を検出する電極は、パターンが非常に微細であるが、電極部分は基板上に露出している。よって、電極取り扱いの際の破損や電極パターンの損傷を防ぐため、電極を保護する工夫が必要となってくる。   The DEPIM method is a method of quantitatively measuring the number of microorganisms in a solution to be inspected by collecting microorganisms on a microelectrode by dielectrophoretic force and simultaneously measuring the impedance change of the microelectrode. Since the dielectrophoretic force acting on microorganisms must be sufficiently large and microorganisms must be reliably collected in the electrode gap, the electrode that detects the response of such a minute substance has a very fine pattern. Is exposed on the substrate. Therefore, in order to prevent damage during electrode handling and damage to the electrode pattern, a device for protecting the electrode is required.

電極パターンを覆うカバーを設けている例として、特許文献2と特許文献3に開示されるバイオセンサがある。これらは、電極基板上に作製した電極パターン上方に、スペーサーを介しカバーを設け、電極上に微小な空間を作製する。前記空間への微量な被検査溶液の導入と前記空間における反応を、電極によりモニターする。前記空間には、一つの入り口が設けられている。

Examples of providing a cover that covers the electrode pattern include biosensors disclosed in Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3. In these, a cover is provided via a spacer above the electrode pattern formed on the electrode substrate, and a minute space is formed on the electrode. The introduction of a small amount of the test solution into the space and the reaction in the space are monitored by electrodes. One entrance is provided in the space.
JP 2003-334059 A JP 2004-4017 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-311817

前記従来の構成では、覆いにより電極の露出を保護することで、電極操作や測定の際、指や粉塵の電極部分への接触による電極パターンの損傷や汚れの付着を避けることができた。しかし、前記従来の構成では、電極への接触を避けるために電極上部に覆いを設けると、電極基板と覆い間のごく微小な隙間を通じ被検溶液導入しなければならず、電極への被検査供給量がごく微量に限定されるという課題を有していた。また、電極反応後の被検
査溶液の排出機能や循環機能には欠けているため、常に新しい溶液が電極近傍へ行き渡らず、測定効率が低下するという課題を有していた。さらに、これらのスペーサーやカバーの貼り合わせに接着剤を使用しているため、被検査溶液中に接着剤成分が溶け出した場合、夾雑物質となる可能性がある。
In the conventional configuration, the exposure of the electrode is protected by the cover, so that it is possible to avoid damage to the electrode pattern and adhesion of dirt due to contact of the finger or dust with the electrode part during electrode operation or measurement. However, in the conventional configuration, when a cover is provided on the electrode in order to avoid contact with the electrode, the test solution must be introduced through a very small gap between the electrode substrate and the cover. The supply amount was limited to a very small amount. In addition, since the discharge function and circulation function of the solution to be inspected after the electrode reaction are lacking, there is a problem that the new solution does not always reach the vicinity of the electrode and the measurement efficiency is lowered. Furthermore, since an adhesive is used to bond these spacers and covers, if the adhesive component dissolves into the solution to be inspected, it may become a contaminant.

本発明は前記従来の問題を解決するためになされたものであり、電極パターン部分への指の接触や油脂や粉塵の付着を防ぎ、また、電極への安定した被検査溶液の供給を絶えず行うことができる、電極基板、測定装置、及び電極基板の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and prevents finger contact with the electrode pattern portion and adhesion of oils and dusts, and constantly supplies a stable solution to be inspected to the electrode. An object is to provide an electrode substrate, a measuring apparatus, and a method for manufacturing the electrode substrate.

前記電極と前記カバーの距離が1mm以上5mm以下であり、前記開口より被検査溶液が前記空隙へ流出入することで、前記電極近傍へ前記被検査溶液を連続的に供給することによって、前記カバーにより前記電極の損傷や電極への汚れの付着を防ぐことができ、前記2つ以上の開口を介し前記空隙へ被検査溶液が出入可能であり、電極近傍へ被検査溶液を十分供給できる。
An electrode substrate according to the present invention includes a substrate, an electrode having conductivity and provided on the substrate,
A terminal for transmitting a signal from lead the electrode to the electrode, anda cover provided in the direction opposite from said substrate of said electrode, part or all of the electrode and the cover with a gap The gap is connected to the outside by at least two or more openings, the opening is disposed at a position sandwiching the gap, and the direction in which the openings are opposed is horizontal to the substrate,
The distance between the electrode and the cover is 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less, and the solution to be inspected flows into the gap from the opening, whereby the solution to be inspected is continuously supplied to the vicinity of the electrode, thereby the cover Thus, the electrode can be prevented from being damaged or soiled from being adhered to the electrode, and the solution to be inspected can enter and leave the gap through the two or more openings, so that the solution to be inspected can be sufficiently supplied to the vicinity of the electrode.

The electrode substrate according to the second invention is fixed to the cover when the cover has a concave portion that is equal to or slightly larger than the thickness of the substrate and the substrate is sandwiched between the concave portions. The cover can be removed. In addition, the electrode substrate can be easily handled by adjusting the size of the cover so that it can be easily held. Furthermore, since no adhesive is used, the possibility that the adhesive component dissolves into the solution to be inspected and becomes a contaminant can be suppressed.

In the electrode substrate according to a third invention, the cover and the electrode substrate are molded from the same substrate,
Since the cover is a part of the substrate, the process of molding only the cover and the process of attaching the cover to the electrode substrate can be omitted, and the work process can be simplified and the material cost can be reduced.

本発明に係る電極基板とそれを用いた微生物・微粒子測定装置および測定方法によれば、前記電極カバーが前記空隙を介して前記電極を覆う構造であり、電極基板操作時の指の電極への接触を防ぎ、油脂や粉塵の電極への付着や電極の損傷とそれらに伴う応答値の攪乱を防ぐことができる。また、前記2つ以上の開口を介し、前記空隙において被検査溶液が循環されるため、絶えず新しい被検査溶液を電極近傍に供給でき、測定感度の低下を抑えることができる。さらに、前記攪拌手段と前記空隙における被検査溶液の循環作用により、反応が進む電極近傍とバルクでの被検査溶液の濃度差が是正され、被検溶液全体の濃度を均一に保った状態での測定が可能となる。 According to the electrode substrate and the microorganism / particle measurement apparatus and measurement method using the electrode substrate according to the present invention, the electrode cover is configured to cover the electrode via the gap, Contact can be prevented, and adhesion of oils and dusts to the electrode, damage to the electrode, and disturbance of the response value associated therewith can be prevented. In addition, since the solution to be inspected is circulated in the gap through the two or more openings, a new solution to be inspected can be continuously supplied to the vicinity of the electrode, and a decrease in measurement sensitivity can be suppressed. Furthermore, the circulation action of the test solution in the stirring means and the gap corrects the concentration difference between the test solution in the vicinity of the electrode where the reaction proceeds and the bulk, and the concentration of the entire test solution is kept uniform. Measurement is possible.

ここで、本発明における微生物・微粒子の定義について説明する。本発明で言う微生物・微粒子とは、ポリスチレンやそれらに何らかのコーティングを施した粒子、カーボンナノチューブ、金コロイドなどの金属粒子、細菌、真菌、放線菌、リケッチア、マイコプラズマ、ウイルス、として分類されているいわゆる微生物、原生動物や原虫のうちの小型のもの、生物体の幼生、動植物細胞、精子、血球、核酸、蛋白質等も含む広い意味での微生物・微粒子である。   Here, the definition of microorganisms / fine particles in the present invention will be described. Microorganisms / microparticles referred to in the present invention are classified as polystyrene, particles with some coating on them, metal particles such as carbon nanotubes and gold colloids, bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, rickettsia, mycoplasma, and viruses.

以下、本発明を実施するための最良の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。   The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
1, 2, and 3 are a front view, a cross-sectional view, and a perspective view of an electrode substrate according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a front view of a cross section of the electrode substrate 1 taken along the line AA ′ of FIG. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the electrode substrate 1 in the BB ′ cross section of FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the electrode substrate 1.

電極基板1は、基板2と、基板2の上に設けられた電極3と、電極3と導通する端子4と、電極3の上方に設けられたカバー5で構成されている。カバー5と電極3の間にはス
ペーサー19により隙間が作製されており、空隙6と、空隙6を挟んで外部と接続している開口7、8が設けられている。
The electrode substrate 1 includes a substrate 2, an electrode 3 provided on the substrate 2, a terminal 4 electrically connected to the electrode 3, and a cover 5 provided above the electrode 3. A gap is formed between the cover 5 and the electrode 3 by a spacer 19, and a gap 6 and openings 7 and 8 connected to the outside through the gap 6 are provided.

電極3がカバー5で保護されているため、電極基板1を操作する際に、直接電極3に指が触れない。また、本電極基板1の電極3を流れのある被検査溶液に浸した際、開口7より被検査溶液が流入し、開口8へ流出する方向の流れ、または、開口8から開口7へ向かう流れにより、空隙6と開口7、8が被検査溶液の通路となり、電極3近傍への微生物や粒子の連続的な供給が可能となり、電極感度の低下を抑えることができる。   Since the electrode 3 is protected by the cover 5, a finger does not directly touch the electrode 3 when operating the electrode substrate 1. In addition, when the electrode 3 of the electrode substrate 1 is immersed in a flowing test solution, the test solution flows from the opening 7 and flows out to the opening 8 or flows from the opening 8 to the opening 7. Thus, the gap 6 and the openings 7 and 8 serve as a passage for the solution to be inspected, and it becomes possible to continuously supply microorganisms and particles to the vicinity of the electrode 3 and suppress a decrease in electrode sensitivity.

次に、本発明の実施の形態1による電極基板1を用いた測定装置23及びその動作を説明する。   Next, the measurement apparatus 23 using the electrode substrate 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention and the operation thereof will be described.

図4は、本発明の測定装置23の構成を示す図である。図4において、10は測定対象物が含まれる被検査溶液11を保持する溶液保持部、24は、電極基板1の端子4から導通を得るとともに電極基板1を固定する接続部、1は微細パターンが施された電極3を含む電極基板、12は電圧印加部、13は電極反応を測定する測定部、14は測定装置全体の制御や測定した応答の演算を行う制御演算部である。   FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the measuring apparatus 23 of the present invention. In FIG. 4, 10 is a solution holding unit for holding a solution to be inspected 11 containing an object to be measured, 24 is a connection unit for obtaining conduction from a terminal 4 of the electrode substrate 1 and fixing the electrode substrate 1, and 1 is a fine pattern. Is an electrode substrate including the electrode 3, 12 is a voltage application unit, 13 is a measurement unit that measures an electrode reaction, and 14 is a control calculation unit that controls the entire measurement apparatus and calculates a measured response.

電極基板1は、初めに、接続部24に挿入され、端子4を介して電極3と電圧印加部12および測定部13は電気的に接続され、同時に固定される。   The electrode substrate 1 is first inserted into the connection part 24, and the electrode 3, the voltage application part 12, and the measurement part 13 are electrically connected via the terminal 4 and fixed simultaneously.

電極基板1は、微生物が含まれた被検査溶液11を保持した溶液保持部10内に浸漬される。溶液保持部10は、マグネチックスターラーなどの攪拌手段15を設けることができる。被検査溶液11を溶液保持部10内で攪拌することにより被検査溶液11内での測定対象物濃度を均一にすることができ、かつ、多くの測定対象物を電極近傍に導くことができるため、より効率的測定でき、測定時間の短縮や測定感度低下の抑制が可能である。   The electrode substrate 1 is immersed in a solution holding unit 10 holding a solution to be inspected 11 containing microorganisms. The solution holding unit 10 can be provided with stirring means 15 such as a magnetic stirrer. By stirring the solution 11 to be inspected in the solution holding unit 10, the concentration of the measurement object in the solution 11 to be inspected can be made uniform, and many measurement objects can be led to the vicinity of the electrodes. Therefore, more efficient measurement can be performed, and measurement time can be shortened and measurement sensitivity can be prevented from being lowered.

攪拌方法は、選択可能であり、マグネチックスターラーによる攪拌、棒状の攪拌器具によりかき混ぜる方法、溶液保持部10自体が回転することによる攪拌等がある。攪拌速度は、被検査溶液中の粒子や微生物が十分還流する速度に設定する。   The stirring method can be selected, and includes a stirring method using a magnetic stirrer, a stirring method using a bar-like stirring device, and a stirring method by rotating the solution holding unit 10 itself. The stirring speed is set to a speed at which particles and microorganisms in the solution to be inspected are sufficiently refluxed.

電圧印加部12は電極に所定の電圧を印加し、被検査溶液11中の測定対象物の電極反応を、測定部13により測定、測定した値は制御演算部14に渡る。また、制御演算部14は、電圧印加部12を制御し、電極に特定の電圧を印加する。さらに、制御演算部14は、測定部13が測定したデータを受け取り、被検査溶液中に含まれる測定対象物の濃度演算が行なわれる。演算結果は、逐次メモリに格納、または、LCDなどの表示部16に結果表示を行う。   The voltage application unit 12 applies a predetermined voltage to the electrodes, and the measurement unit 13 measures the electrode reaction of the measurement target in the solution under test 11, and the measured value passes to the control calculation unit 14. Moreover, the control calculation part 14 controls the voltage application part 12, and applies a specific voltage to an electrode. Further, the control calculation unit 14 receives the data measured by the measurement unit 13 and calculates the concentration of the measurement target contained in the solution to be inspected. The calculation results are sequentially stored in a memory or displayed on the display unit 16 such as an LCD.

次に、電極基板1の寸法を説明する。電極3とカバー5間の距離は、1mm以上5mm以下が好ましい。1mm以下では、電極3への被検査溶液の接触が阻害され、電極感度が低下するが、1mm以上5mm以下では、電極3近傍に被検査溶液の流れが形成されるため、被検査溶液が循環し絶えず新しい被検査を電極3に供給でき、電極感度の低下を抑えることができる。   Next, the dimensions of the electrode substrate 1 will be described. The distance between the electrode 3 and the cover 5 is preferably 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less. If it is 1 mm or less, the contact of the solution to be inspected with the electrode 3 is hindered and the electrode sensitivity is lowered. However, if it is 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less, a flow of the solution to be inspected is formed in the vicinity of the electrode 3, and therefore However, a new test object can be constantly supplied to the electrode 3, and a decrease in electrode sensitivity can be suppressed.

一方、本発明に用いた溶液保持部10は、径20mmの円柱型セルであり、電極は、水面に挿入されている。電極3とカバー5間の距離が5mmを超える電極カバーを装着すると、カバーがセル底部に位置する攪拌手段15の上部を覆ってしまう。攪拌機能がカバー5により阻害されてしまい、新しい被検査の電極3への供給効率が低下するため、電極感度の低下を招く。   On the other hand, the solution holding part 10 used in the present invention is a cylindrical cell having a diameter of 20 mm, and the electrode is inserted in the water surface. When an electrode cover having a distance of more than 5 mm between the electrode 3 and the cover 5 is attached, the cover covers the upper part of the stirring means 15 located at the cell bottom. The agitation function is hindered by the cover 5, and the supply efficiency to the new electrode 3 to be inspected is lowered, leading to a decrease in electrode sensitivity.

カバー5の面積は、電極3の面積と等しいまたは大きいことが望ましい。かかる構成では、電極3への粉塵の接触を避けることができ、電極3表面への汚れの付着や電極3の損傷を防ぐことができる。よって、センサの保存を容易にし、また、測定環境も限定されない。   The area of the cover 5 is desirably equal to or larger than the area of the electrode 3. In such a configuration, contact of dust with the electrode 3 can be avoided, and adhesion of dirt to the surface of the electrode 3 and damage to the electrode 3 can be prevented. Therefore, storage of the sensor is facilitated, and the measurement environment is not limited.

次に、電極基板1の材料及び作成方法を説明する。本発明の実施の形態に示す電極基板1は、基板2に電極3および端子4をパターニングする工程、電極3上にカバー5を固定する工程を経て、作製される。電極3および端子4をパターニングする工程は、選択した材料で所望のパターンを形成できれば、フォトリソグラフィー、レーザー加工、スクリーン印刷、インクジェット印刷など、生産性やコストなどを勘案して最も適切な加工法が選択可能である。   Next, the material and production method of the electrode substrate 1 will be described. The electrode substrate 1 shown in the embodiment of the present invention is manufactured through a process of patterning the electrode 3 and the terminal 4 on the substrate 2 and a process of fixing the cover 5 on the electrode 3. As long as the desired pattern can be formed with the selected material, the process of patterning the electrode 3 and the terminal 4 is the most appropriate processing method in consideration of productivity and cost, such as photolithography, laser processing, screen printing, and inkjet printing. Selectable.

電極3上にカバー5を固定する工程は、図1に示すように、電極3とカバー5とをスペーサー19を介して固定してもよい。固定方法は、接着剤を使用しない工法が好ましく、熱による融着、超音波接合、UVランプによる光接合、ネジ止め型などから選択される。   In the step of fixing the cover 5 on the electrode 3, the electrode 3 and the cover 5 may be fixed via a spacer 19 as shown in FIG. 1. The fixing method is preferably a method that does not use an adhesive, and is selected from heat fusion, ultrasonic bonding, optical bonding using a UV lamp, screwing type, and the like.

本発明における基板2は、樹脂基板を用いたが、絶縁性の材料であればいずれも使用可能であり、例えば、ガラス、セラミックなど基板材料の使用を妨げるものではない。また、電極3は導電性の材料であればいずれも使用可能であり、Au、Ag、Alなどの金属粒子含有の導電性ペースト、カーボンなども選択可能である。   As the substrate 2 in the present invention, a resin substrate is used, but any insulating material can be used, and does not hinder the use of a substrate material such as glass or ceramic. In addition, any material can be used for the electrode 3 as long as it is a conductive material, and a conductive paste containing metal particles such as Au, Ag, and Al, carbon, and the like can also be selected.

(実施の形態2)
図5は本発明の実施の形態2による電極基板1の断面図である。実施の形態1と同様の構造を持つ電極基板であるが、カバー5は、基板2の厚みと等しい、もしくは、基板厚みよりも微小に大きい凹部22を持ち、凹部22に基板2が挟まれることでカバー5に固定化される。これにより、溝22からの基板2の取り外しが可能となり、また、カバーの大きさが限定されないため、基板2が小さい場合でも指で持ちやすく、電極のハンドリングも向上する。さらに、接着剤を使用しないため、被検査溶液へ接着剤成分が溶け出し夾雑物質となる可能性を抑えることができる。
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 5 is a sectional view of electrode substrate 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Although the electrode substrate has the same structure as that of the first embodiment, the cover 5 has a recess 22 that is equal to the thickness of the substrate 2 or slightly larger than the substrate thickness, and the substrate 2 is sandwiched between the recesses 22. Is fixed to the cover 5. Accordingly, the substrate 2 can be removed from the groove 22, and the size of the cover is not limited. Therefore, even when the substrate 2 is small, it can be easily held by a finger, and the electrode handling is improved. Furthermore, since no adhesive is used, the possibility that the adhesive component dissolves into the solution to be inspected and becomes a contaminant can be suppressed.

凹部22の厚みの許容差は、基板2がカバー5に固定されるなら任意であるが、基板2の厚み+0mmから基板2の厚み+0.2mmが好ましい。基板2、カバー5の材料は、曲げや伸縮が可能な樹脂材料が適する。上記材料を用いると上記許容差に縛られず、凹部22の厚みが基板2の厚みより小さい場合もはめ込むことができる。凹部22の深さは基板2がカバー5に固定されるなら任意であるが、1mm以上5mm以下が固定の確実性の点から好ましい。   The tolerance of the thickness of the recess 22 is arbitrary as long as the substrate 2 is fixed to the cover 5, but the thickness of the substrate 2 +0 mm to the thickness of the substrate 2 +0.2 mm is preferable. As the material of the substrate 2 and the cover 5, a resin material that can be bent and stretched is suitable. When the material is used, it is not bound by the tolerance and can be inserted even when the thickness of the recess 22 is smaller than the thickness of the substrate 2. The depth of the recess 22 is arbitrary as long as the substrate 2 is fixed to the cover 5, but is preferably 1 mm or more and 5 mm or less from the viewpoint of fixing reliability.

本発明の実施の形態2による電極基板1を用いた電極操作及び動作、測定装置は実施の形態1における電極基板1と同様である。   The electrode operation, operation, and measuring apparatus using the electrode substrate 1 according to the second embodiment of the present invention are the same as those of the electrode substrate 1 according to the first embodiment.

FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view of the electrode substrate with cover 1 in the A-A ′ cross section of FIG. 6C. FIG. 6C is a cross-sectional view of the electrode substrate 1 in the B-B ′ cross section of FIG. 6D. FIG. 6D is a perspective view of the electrode substrate 1.

カバー5が基板2と一体になっていることが実施の形態1と相違し、以下では、その相違点のみを説明する。   Unlike the first embodiment, the cover 5 is integrated with the substrate 2, and only the difference will be described below.

本実施の形態による電極基板1の基板2は、図6Aに示すように、電極3と端子4がパターニングされる電極配置部25と、必要に応じて形成されるおりしろ部26と、カバー5となるカバー部27からなる。電極配置部25とおりしろ部26、および、おりしろ部26とカバー部27は、それぞれ所定の角度で曲げられ、電極配置部25とカバー部27が対向している。   As shown in FIG. 6A, the substrate 2 of the electrode substrate 1 according to the present embodiment includes an electrode placement portion 25 where the electrodes 3 and the terminals 4 are patterned, a margin portion 26 formed as necessary, and a cover 5. The cover part 27 which becomes. The electrode arrangement portion 25 and the margin portion 26 and the margin portion 26 and the cover portion 27 are bent at a predetermined angle, respectively, and the electrode arrangement portion 25 and the cover portion 27 face each other.

また、図6Cを参照すると、おりしろ部26の厚み分だけカバー5と電極3の間には空隙6が形成され、上面視でカバー5のおりしろ部26を除く3方向に開口7、8、9が形成されている。かかる構成により、カバー部27であるカバー5が電極3の上方に位置し、電極3がカバー5で保護され、また、本カバー付電極基板1の電極3を流れのある被検査溶液に浸した際、開口7、8、9から空隙6へと被検査溶液が流入・流出する方向の流れが生じる。   Referring to FIG. 6C, a gap 6 is formed between the cover 5 and the electrode 3 by the thickness of the margin part 26, and the openings 7 and 8 are formed in three directions excluding the margin part 26 of the cover 5 in a top view. , 9 are formed. With this configuration, the cover 5 which is the cover portion 27 is positioned above the electrode 3, the electrode 3 is protected by the cover 5, and the electrode 3 of the electrode substrate 1 with cover is immersed in a flowing test solution. At this time, a flow in the direction in which the solution to be inspected flows into and out of the gap 6 from the openings 7, 8, 9 occurs.

これらの構造により、電極操作の際、電極3に指が触れず、かつ、電極近傍への被検査溶液の供給を連続的に行うことができる。また、電極とカバーを一枚の同一基板上に作製でき、カバー作製に要するのは折り曲げ工程のみであるため、作業工程の簡略化や基板材料費の削減が期待できる。さらに、作製時に接着剤を使用しないため、被検査溶液への夾雑物質の流出を最低限に抑えることができ、測定値が安定する。   With these structures, the electrode 3 is not touched by a finger during the electrode operation, and the solution to be inspected can be continuously supplied to the vicinity of the electrode. In addition, since the electrode and the cover can be manufactured on the same substrate and only the bending process is required for manufacturing the cover, it is possible to simplify the work process and reduce the substrate material cost. Furthermore, since no adhesive is used at the time of production, the outflow of contaminants to the solution to be inspected can be minimized, and the measurement value is stabilized.

電極基板1の作製方法は、基板2に電極3および端子4をパターニングする工程、基板2の電極配置部25とおりしろ部26とカバー部27の間に2つの折り曲げ線18を入れる工程、折り曲げ線18でカバー5が電極3の上方に配置するように折り曲げる工程を経て、作製される。   The method of manufacturing the electrode substrate 1 includes a step of patterning the electrodes 3 and the terminals 4 on the substrate 2, a step of placing two fold lines 18 between the electrode placement portion 25 of the substrate 2 and the gap portion 26 and the cover portion 27, The cover 5 is manufactured through a process of bending so that the cover 5 is disposed above the electrode 3.

実施の形態3で使用する基板2の材料は、基板上へ電極作成後に圧力や熱などの外部からの力を加えることで、折り曲げ形成が可能な樹脂材料を用いる。厚みは、加工性の良い500mm以下の樹脂材料が適する。   The material of the substrate 2 used in Embodiment 3 is a resin material that can be bent by applying an external force such as pressure or heat after the electrodes are formed on the substrate. A resin material having a good workability and a thickness of 500 mm or less is suitable.

図6において、2つの折り曲げ線18の間のおりしろ部26の長さと、電極配置部25とおりしろ部26、および、おりしろ部26とカバー部27の曲げ角度α、βは、電極3とカバー5の間の電極3とカバー5間の距離が1mm以上となるよう選ばれる。おりしろ部の長さは好適には1mm以上10mm以下である。   In FIG. 6, the length of the margin part 26 between the two folding lines 18, the electrode arrangement part 25, the margin part 26, and the bending angles α and β of the margin part 26 and the cover part 27 are the same as those of the electrode 3. The distance between the electrode 3 between the cover 5 and the cover 5 is selected to be 1 mm or more. The length of the margin part is preferably 1 mm or more and 10 mm or less.

曲げ角度α、βはそれぞれ0°から180°であり、好適には90°である。カバー部27は、少なくとも電極3の表面積と等しい、または大きい表面積を持つことが電極3への指の接触回避の点から望ましい。   The bending angles α and β are each 0 ° to 180 °, preferably 90 °. The cover 27 preferably has a surface area that is at least equal to or greater than the surface area of the electrode 3 from the viewpoint of avoiding finger contact with the electrode 3.

本実施形態の別の一例としておりしろ部26を省略した電極基板1を図7に示す。図7Aは、図7Bの展開図である。基板2は、電極3と端子4がパターニングされる電極配置部25と、カバー5となるカバー部27からなる。電極配置部25とカバー部27の間に一つの折り曲げ線18が形成され、30°の角度で曲げられ、カバー部27が電極3を覆い、空隙6を形成している。曲げ角度は、90°以下から選択される。   As another example of this embodiment, an electrode substrate 1 in which the margin part 26 is omitted is shown in FIG. FIG. 7A is a development view of FIG. 7B. The substrate 2 includes an electrode arrangement portion 25 on which the electrodes 3 and the terminals 4 are patterned, and a cover portion 27 that becomes the cover 5. One fold line 18 is formed between the electrode placement portion 25 and the cover portion 27 and is bent at an angle of 30 °. The cover portion 27 covers the electrode 3 and forms the gap 6. The bending angle is selected from 90 ° or less.

本発明の実施の形態3による電極基板1を用いた電極操作及び動作、測定装置は実施の形態1における電極基板1と同様である。図8には作製方法のフローと作製した物を示す図を記載した。   The electrode operation, operation, and measuring apparatus using the electrode substrate 1 according to the third embodiment of the present invention are the same as those of the electrode substrate 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 8 shows a flow of the manufacturing method and a diagram showing the manufactured product.

また、図8に示すように、端子4間領域をおりしろ部26およびカバー部27として折り返し、カバー5を作製することにより、一つの基板材料シートから取れるカバー付電極基板1の個数を最大にすることができる。これにより、高価な樹脂基板を用いた際でも、
材料コストの大幅な削減が見込まれる。
Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the region between the terminals 4 is folded back as the margin part 26 and the cover part 27 to produce the cover 5, thereby maximizing the number of cover-equipped electrode substrates 1 that can be taken from one substrate material sheet. can do. As a result, even when using an expensive resin substrate,
Significant reductions in material costs are expected.

(実施の形態4)
図9、図10は本発明の実施の形態4による電極基板の概略図である。図9A、9Bは、それぞれ、カバー5がメッシュ状の開口20を持つ電極基板1の斜面図と断面図であり、図10A、10Bは、それぞれ、カバー5に開口21を持つ電極基板1の斜面図と断面図である。
(Embodiment 4)
9 and 10 are schematic views of an electrode substrate according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. 9A and 9B are a perspective view and a sectional view of the electrode substrate 1 in which the cover 5 has a mesh-shaped opening 20, respectively, and FIGS. 10A and 10B are slopes of the electrode substrate 1 in which the cover 5 has an opening 21, respectively. It is a figure and sectional drawing.

実施の形態1と同様の構造を持つ電極基板であるが、電極3とカバー5間の距離が1mm〜5mmの条件下において、カバー5は10mm径以上のメッシュ構造20により構成
されている、または、5mm径以下の開口21を最低一つ以上有していることを特徴とする。10mmの開口は被検査溶液中の微生物・微粒子の径よりも大きく、5mmの開口は
、電極3とカバー5間の距離が1mmを有する電極基板1を手で操作した際に、指が電極部や電極パターン面に接触しない大きさの上限である。
Although the electrode substrate has the same structure as that of the first embodiment, the cover 5 is configured by a mesh structure 20 having a diameter of 10 mm or more under the condition that the distance between the electrode 3 and the cover 5 is 1 mm to 5 mm, or It has at least one opening 21 having a diameter of 5 mm or less. The opening of 10 mm is larger than the diameter of microorganisms / fine particles in the solution to be inspected, and the opening of 5 mm indicates that when the electrode substrate 1 having a distance of 1 mm between the electrode 3 and the cover 5 is operated by hand, And the upper limit of the size that does not contact the electrode pattern surface.

なお、開口の形状は円形にこだわらない。開口を形成できる多角形であればよい。   Note that the shape of the opening is not limited to a circle. Any polygon that can form an opening may be used.

カバー5は、これにより、電極に対して水平方向の開口7、8を介する、電極に対して水平方向の流れだけでなく、電極に対して垂直方向への被検査溶液供給も可能となり、電極近傍へのより効果的な被検査溶液の供給と感度の上昇が期待できる。   Thus, the cover 5 can supply not only the flow in the horizontal direction with respect to the electrode via the openings 7 and 8 in the horizontal direction with respect to the electrode, but also supply of the test solution in the vertical direction with respect to the electrode. More effective supply of the solution to be inspected to the vicinity and an increase in sensitivity can be expected.

電極操作の際、カバー5と空隙6、開口7〜9、20、21により、電極3に指が触れず、かつ、連続的な電極近傍への被検査溶液の供給が可能となる。   When the electrode is operated, the cover 5, the gap 6, and the openings 7 to 9, 20, and 21 can prevent the finger from touching the electrode 3 and can continuously supply the solution to be inspected to the vicinity of the electrode.

10mm以上のメッシュの材料は、生体分子や粒子が付着しにくいもの、5mm以下の
開口を持つカバーは、加工性の良い樹脂材料とする。
The mesh material of 10 mm or more is difficult for biomolecules and particles to adhere to it, and the cover having an opening of 5 mm or less is a resin material with good workability.

本発明の実施の形態4による電極基板1を用いた電極操作及び動作、測定装置は実施の形態1における電極基板1と同様である。   The electrode operation, operation and measurement apparatus using the electrode substrate 1 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention are the same as those of the electrode substrate 1 in the first embodiment.

次に、実施の形態3に示した電極基板1、実施の形態1に示した測定装置23を用い、DEPIM法(特許文献1)により被検査溶液中の細菌の電気化学応答をモニターした結果を示す。   Next, using the electrode substrate 1 shown in the third embodiment and the measurement apparatus 23 shown in the first embodiment, the results of monitoring the electrochemical response of bacteria in the solution to be inspected by the DEPIM method (Patent Document 1) are shown. Show.

図4に示すように、電極基板1を被検査溶液11に浸し、攪拌手段15であるスターラーにより攪拌しながら、電圧印加部12より電極3へ特定の周波数と電圧をもった交流電圧を印加した。   As shown in FIG. 4, the electrode substrate 1 is immersed in the solution 11 to be inspected, and an AC voltage having a specific frequency and voltage is applied from the voltage application unit 12 to the electrode 3 while stirring with a stirrer as the stirring means 15. .

図11は、電極3の一例を示す部分斜視図である。図11において、2は基板、17a、17bは基板2上に形成され一対の極をなす電極である。電極17a、17b間に交流電圧を印加することにより、電極17a、17b間に不平等電界が誘起され、微生物を誘電泳動し17a、17b間のギャップに捕集する。それと同時に、測定部において17a、17b間のギャップに捕集した微生物の応答を測定した。測定結果は演算部14に渡り、電極17a、17b間のインピーダンスを算出、インピーダンスより被検査溶液中に含まれる微生物濃度を算出した。   FIG. 11 is a partial perspective view showing an example of the electrode 3. In FIG. 11, 2 is a substrate, and 17a and 17b are electrodes formed on the substrate 2 to form a pair of poles. By applying an alternating voltage between the electrodes 17a and 17b, an unequal electric field is induced between the electrodes 17a and 17b, and the microorganisms are dielectrophoresed and collected in a gap between the electrodes 17a and 17b. At the same time, the response of the microorganisms collected in the gap between 17a and 17b was measured in the measurement unit. The measurement result was passed to the calculation unit 14, and the impedance between the electrodes 17a and 17b was calculated, and the concentration of microorganisms contained in the test solution was calculated from the impedance.

被検査溶液には、4.1×106(cfu/mL)に調製した大腸菌懸濁液を5mL使用した。   As the test solution, 5 mL of the E. coli suspension prepared to 4.1 × 10 6 (cfu / mL) was used.

電極とカバーの間の距離を0.5mm、1mm、2mm、5mmとしたカバー付電極基板を作製し、それぞれの距離に対する電極感度をプロットした。カバーがない時の電極基板と同程度の感度を得るために、電極とカバーの間の距離と電極感度の関係を検証した。カバーの寸法は、横10.9mm、縦8mm,電極基板の大きさは、横10.9mm、縦24mmとした。   An electrode substrate with a cover having a distance between the electrode and the cover of 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, and 5 mm was produced, and the electrode sensitivity with respect to each distance was plotted. In order to obtain the same sensitivity as that of the electrode substrate without the cover, the relationship between the distance between the electrode and the cover and the electrode sensitivity was verified. The dimensions of the cover were 10.9 mm wide and 8 mm long, and the size of the electrode substrate was 10.9 mm wide and 24 mm long.

図12は、カバー無電極基板とカバー付電極基板の感度を比較するために、カバー無し電極基板を用いた測定の感度をcontrol(100%)と規定し、カバー付電極基板の測定感度の割合をプロットした。   FIG. 12 shows that the sensitivity of measurement using the electrode substrate without cover is defined as control (100%) in order to compare the sensitivity of the electrode substrate with cover and the electrode substrate with cover. Was plotted.

電極とカバーの間の距離が1mm以下の時は、カバー無電極感度の50〜60%であったが、電極とカバーの間の距離を1mm以上に設定すると、カバーがないときの80%の感度を得ることができた。よって、電極とカバーの間の距離が1mm以上である本発明の電極基板1は、電極3への被検査溶液の供給が十分行なわれ、感度の低下を抑えることが明らかとなった。   When the distance between the electrode and the cover was 1 mm or less, it was 50 to 60% of the cover no-electrode sensitivity. However, when the distance between the electrode and the cover was set to 1 mm or more, it was 80% when there was no cover. Sensitivity could be obtained. Therefore, it has been clarified that the electrode substrate 1 of the present invention in which the distance between the electrode and the cover is 1 mm or more sufficiently supplies the solution to be inspected to the electrode 3 and suppresses the decrease in sensitivity.

本発明にかかる電極基板は、電極操作の際に、油脂や粉塵の付着、電極の損傷を抑え、かつ、被検査溶液の電極部分への供給が可能となり、安定した応答を得られる。よって、電極を利用した微生物や微粒子の操作および測定が可能な電極基板等として有用である。   The electrode substrate according to the present invention suppresses adhesion of fats and oils and dust and electrode damage during electrode operation, and can supply a solution to be inspected to the electrode portion, thereby obtaining a stable response. Therefore, it is useful as an electrode substrate or the like capable of manipulating and measuring microorganisms and fine particles using electrodes.
