Description
The present invention relates to a pretreatment chip capable of detecting various diseases or early cancer-related biomarkers by easily centrifuging blood in the field for screening of healthy patients such as hospitals and homes or for early screening diagnosis of cancer suspect patients.
A specific protein in the blood is a biomarker that is used as a key indicator to determine various diseases and health conditions. In recent years, a biochip has been developed which can easily and quickly measure a biomarker by injecting a small amount of blood into a strip-shaped chip.
Usually, blood is composed of blood cells and plasma. The blood cells have a volume of about 40% or more such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Plasma is composed of water, protein, fat, saccharides and other minerals.
Protein biomarkers are mostly present in trace amounts in plasma. Therefore, in order to obtain a high sensitivity and high reproducibility result by using the biochip, it is preferable that only plasma components from which blood cells have been removed from blood are used for the detection of proteins. To this end, various methods have been proposed for separating plasma from blood on a chip. For example, hemocyte filtration using chip paper, glass fiber, microstructure, etc., and blood cell deflection, separation and sedimentation using centrifugal force, electromagnetic force, gravity, etc. have been mainly used.
However, there is still a shortage of methods that can remove blood cells quickly and efficiently with a simple method with a small amount of undiluted blood.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a pretreatment chip for separating blood components using density difference and centrifugal force of blood components.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are not intended to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. It can be understood.
A centrifugal blood pretreatment chip for achieving the above object comprises: a blood inlet; A first centrifuge channel connected to the blood inlet; A first vertical valve connected to the first centrifugal channel in the first aspect for discharging the blood component A in the second aspect and a first horizontal valve for discharging the blood components B and C in the third aspect A first chamber; A second chamber connected to the first horizontal valve in the first aspect, a second vertical valve for discharging the blood component in the second side, and a second horizontal valve for discharging the blood component in the third side; And a third chamber having a third vertical valve connected to the second horizontal valve in a first aspect and discharging a blood component in a second aspect.
In one embodiment, the first to third vertical and horizontal valves may be a one-way valve.
In another embodiment, the valve opening / closing force of the vertical valve and the horizontal valve may be a relationship of 'first vertical valve <first horizontal valve <second vertical valve <second horizontal valve <third vertical valve'.
In another embodiment, the density of the A blood component, B blood component, and C blood component may be a relationship of 'A blood component> B blood component> C blood component'.
In another embodiment, the A blood component is erythrocyte, the B blood component is leukocyte and platelet, and the C blood component may be plasma.
In yet another embodiment, the first vertical valve is connected to a second centrifugal channel, the second vertical valve is connected to a third centrifugal channel, and the third vertical valve is connected to a fourth centrifugal channel .
In yet another embodiment, the apparatus may further include a first foreign matter storage unit for removing foreign matter between the second centrifugation channels.
In yet another embodiment, the apparatus may further include a mixing chamber and a second foreign matter storage unit for obtaining pure plasma between the fourth centrifugal channels.
In another embodiment, the second to fourth centrifugal channels may further include a discharge port at an end thereof.
As described above, the present invention, which is developed to solve the problems of the prior art, can separate blood components by a simple treatment method using density difference and centrifugal force of blood components.
In addition, it is possible to separate blood components precisely by a simple facility configuration, which is convenient and economical.
