在本實施例中,該等遮蔽電極6被覆於覆蓋層33時, 是先對該覆蓋層33底面進行B〇E (buffered 〇xide灿)化 學钱刻處理,利用B0E對玻璃触刻時殘留於玻璃上的反應 物所U成之不均句性餘刻,並透過控制姓刻時間,先於該 覆蓋層33底面預^部位得到數個分別具有不同粗縫度的粗 ,表面#著,再以真空電子束蒸鑛的方式將構成該遮 蔽電極6之金屬分別沉積於該等粗糖表面上,而形成一具 有粗糙面61的薄膜狀三角形遮蔽電極6。 仁實粑時,该遮蔽電極6之製作方式不以此為限,亦 :利用其他的微奈米製程技術或奈米壓印技術,先於該覆 “層精確的1作出不同大小程度的粗糖表面後,再於該 粗糙表面被覆上該遮蔽電極6 ’以便因應不同大小程度的生 物分子’例如數微米至數百奈米大小之細胞1菌、細菌 ,以及數奈米至數十奈米的病毒、DNA、RNA等。 在本實施例中 極51於微流道3〇 、捕捉與集中連續 δ亥等成對分選電極 ’主要是利用該等分選電極41與捕捉電 内之連續流體產生之介電泳力,來分離 流體中具有不同介電特性之生物分子。 41與捕捉電極51可分別被施加預定頻 201102648 率之交流電,而分別於分選段301與捕捉段3〇2之連續流 體中產生吸引或排斥不同介電特性之生物分子的介電泳力 ’並配合連續流體流動產生之推送力4,將連續流體中之 生物分子分離並分別導引入預定的捕捉段3〇2 +,再由該 等捕捉電極51產生之介電泳力作用’將特定介電特性的生 物分子擋止於該等捕捉部511左方之V字型開口中,並隨 著連續流體的持續通過,而逐漸聚集集中。由於該等分選 電極41與捕捉電極51分離、導引與捕捉集中不同介電特 生之生物分子的技術為習知技術,因此不再詳述。 當要以拉曼光譜訊號來個別鑑定檢體中之特定生物分 子時,可先將檢體混合於特定之介電泳液後,將該介電泳 液持續導入該微流道30巾,並分別於該等分選電極41與 捕捉電極51施加一預定頻率之交流電,先將待鑑定生物分 子分離並操控至預定捕捉段3〇2中,並經由該等捕捉電極 51擋止聚集於捕捉段302後,便可以光子束往上射向該捕 捉段302中之遮蔽電極6’透過該遮蔽電極6具有預定粗縫 度之粗糙面61設計,使拉曼光譜訊號產生磁場共振而增強 數十倍,提高生物分子的鑑定準確度。 以下先直接將金黃色葡萄球菌【&〇c〇ccwi ⑼, BCRC 14957】置於具有不同粗糙化之遮蔽電極6上進行鑑 疋為例,說明不同粗糙度之遮蔽電極6對拉曼光譜訊號增 顯的作用’其中,遮蔽電極6之材質為金(Au)。 如圖2〜4所示,以三種不同粗糙度之遮蔽電極6進行 測°式’其中一遮蔽電極6是在未經BOE餘刻之覆蓋層33上 201102648 製成的平坦狀鍍金電極,表面粗糙度約為2〜3 (波峰與 波谷之高度差),由於該覆蓋層33為一般市售之載玻片, 其表面之波鋒對波鋒的間距非常不規則,在同一片載玻片 中由數百奈米至數百微米都有,但因高低差只冑2〜3 nm, 故其波鋒與波鋒之間距已經變得相當不重要,已接近於平 坦,所以一般市售載玻片的粗糙度是以高低差來定義。 另外兩個遮蔽電極6則是在經過B〇E蝕刻之覆蓋層33 上製成的粗糙狀鍍金電極,分別標示為粗糙度(較緻密與 較小粗糙度,如圖3所示)與粗糙度_2 (較大粗糙度,如圖 4所示)。其中,粗糙度-1之遮蔽電極ό的粗糙面61凹凸起 伏的深度約為60〜80 nm,波谷寬度約為卜丨5 μιη ,波峰寬 度約為0.1〜0.3 μηι ;粗糙度_2之遮蔽電極6的粗糙面61凹 凸起伏深度約為80〜1〇〇 nm,波鋒與波谷寬度皆約為 1.5〜2.5 μιη。In the present embodiment, when the shielding electrodes 6 are applied to the cover layer 33, the bottom surface of the cover layer 33 is first subjected to a B〇E (buffered 〇xide) chemical etching process, and the B0E is left to be etched when the glass is inscribed. The reactants on the glass are formed into a non-sequential sentence, and by controlling the time of the surname, a plurality of coarse portions having different rough seams are obtained before the bottom portion of the cover layer 33, and the surface is The metal constituting the shielding electrode 6 is deposited on the surface of the coarse sugars by vacuum electron beam evaporation to form a film-shaped triangular shielding electrode 6 having a rough surface 61. In the case of Renshi, the shielding electrode 6 is not limited to this. It is also possible to use other micro-nano process technology or nano-imprint technology to make different sizes of raw sugar before the layer is accurately After the surface, the masking electrode 6' is further coated on the rough surface so as to cope with different levels of biomolecules, such as cells of several micrometers to hundreds of nanometers, bacteria, and several nanometers to several tens of nanometers. Virus, DNA, RNA, etc. In the present embodiment, the pole 51 is in the microchannel 3〇, capturing and concentrating the continuous δ hai, etc. The pair of sorting electrodes 'is mainly using the sorting electrode 41 and the continuous fluid in the trapping electric current. The dielectrophoretic force is generated to separate biomolecules having different dielectric properties in the fluid. 41 and the trapping electrode 51 can be respectively applied with alternating current of a predetermined frequency of 201102648, and continuous fluids of the sorting section 301 and the capturing section 3〇2, respectively. The dielectrophoretic force of a biomolecule that attracts or repels different dielectric properties' and the push force 4 generated by the continuous fluid flow separates and separates the biomolecules in the continuous fluid into a predetermined trap Segment 3〇2 +, and then the dielectrophoretic force generated by the capture electrodes 51 acts to block biomolecules of specific dielectric properties in the V-shaped opening to the left of the capture portion 511, and with the continuous fluid The technique of continuous separation and gradual concentration. Since the separation electrode 41 is separated from the capture electrode 51, and the technique of guiding and capturing biomolecules with different dielectric properties is a conventional technique, it will not be described in detail. When the specific biomolecule in the sample is individually identified by the Raman spectroscopy signal, the sample may be first mixed into the specific dielectrophoresis solution, and the dielectrophoresis solution is continuously introduced into the microchannel 30, and respectively The sorting electrode 41 and the trapping electrode 51 apply an alternating current of a predetermined frequency, first separating and manipulating the biomolecule to be identified into the predetermined capturing section 3〇2, and stopping the gathering of the capturing section 302 via the capturing electrodes 51, The masking electrode 6' that can be directed upward into the capturing section 302 through the photon beam has a rough surface 61 having a predetermined roughness through the shielding electrode 6, so that the Raman spectrum signal generates a magnetic field resonance and is enhanced by several tens of times, and the biomolecule is enhanced. The accuracy of the identification. First, the Staphylococcus aureus [& 〇c〇ccwi (9), BCRC 14957] is directly placed on the shielding electrode 6 with different roughening as an example to illustrate the shielding electrode 6 with different roughness. The effect of Raman spectral signal enhancement is shown in which the material of the shielding electrode 6 is gold (Au). As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the shielding electrode 6 of three different roughness is used to measure the type of one of the shielding electrodes 6 It is a flat gold-plated electrode made of 201102648 on the cover layer 33 without BOE, and the surface roughness is about 2~3 (the height difference between the peak and the trough), since the cover layer 33 is a generally commercially available glass carrier. The surface of the wave front is very irregular with respect to the wave front. It is from hundreds of nanometers to hundreds of micrometers in the same slide, but the height difference is only 〜2~3 nm, so its wave front The distance from the wave front has become quite unimportant and is close to flat, so the roughness of a commercially available slide is defined by the height difference. The other two shielding electrodes 6 are rough gold-plated electrodes formed on the B layer E-etched cover layer 33, respectively marked as roughness (more dense and less roughness, as shown in Figure 3) and roughness _2 (larger roughness, as shown in Figure 4).

In the signal measured by the masking electrode 6 of the roughness-2, eight distinct peak signals appear, which are 1, 1158, 1288, 1523, 1588, 2313, 2670 and 2938 cm·1, of which 1158 The peak signal strength of cm 1 is approximately 1500 counts. In the signal of the surface of the electrode 6 of the cover 201102648 of the thick chain _1, twelve identification peak signals appearing at 960, 1007, 1199, 1158, 1288, 1442, 1522, 1589, respectively. 2313, 2535, 2670 and 3035 cm·1, and the peak signal intensity of 1158 cnT1 is as high as 7000 counts'. Compared with the surface of the flat shielding electrode 6, the Raman spectral signal is enhanced by about 30 times, which proves that the invention is roughened. The design of the shielding electrode 6 can effectively increase the Raman spectral signal. Then, the sample mixed with the blood cells and the bacteria is directly separated into the microfluidic wafer of the present invention to capture concentration and Raman spectroscopy. _ As shown in Figures 2, 6, and 7, the bacteria used are Staphylococcus aureus [& BCRC 14957] at a concentration of 1 〇 6 CFU/ml, and the voltage applied to the sorting electrodes 41 is 12 Vpp. The frequency is 5 〇〇 kHz, the capture electrode voltage is 20 Vpp, the frequency is 500 kHz, and the fluid flow rate is ι pL/min. When a continuous fluid with blood cells and bacteria flows through the sorting electrodes 41 in sequence, the blood cells The cells and bacteria are separately manipulated and separated into different capture segments 302, and the manipulation and separation directions of the blood cells and bacteria are respectively shown in the directions indicated by the key symbols in Figures 6 and 7, and captured by the capture electrodes 5 ι φ. Immediately after two minutes, Raman light level detection was performed on the microfluidic wafer.曰With FIG. 8, when the microfluidic chip is not provided with the shielding electrode 6, since the fluorescent noise is too large, even if the Raman spectrum is corrected by the reference line, the gas is seen to have a tiny peak at 2940 cm, most of which is The Raman light level signal has been covered by fluorescent noise. 3 When the flat-shaped divergent electrode 6 is provided in the microfluidic wafer, its Raman diagram 10 201102648 spectrum has a barely identifiable signal at 1008, 1158, 1520, 2670 and 2940 cm.1, and its signal is slightly larger than the direct inspection. The Raman spectroscopy signal (not shown) detected on the surface of a generally flat gold deposit is estimated to be because the bacteria are locally concentrated in the region of the occluding electrode 6 in the microfluidic wafer. Increased, so the signal detected after the concentration of the microfluidic wafer is slightly larger than the signal of the generally flat gold-plated surface. When the coarse-grained shielding electrode 6 is provided in the microfluidic wafer, the Raman spectrum is sufficient at 958, 1007, 1199, 1158, 1286, 1448, 1522, 1588, 2313, 2536, 2670, and 2933 cm·1. The signal is recognized, and the signal intensity is increased by about ten times compared to the microfluidic wafer of the flat shielding electrode 6. And it has been experimentally confirmed that under the action of continuous fluid and the dielectrophoretic force capture and concentration generated by the microfluidic wafer, the sample concentration required for the sample can be relatively reduced'. When the bacterial concentration is about 1〇6 CFU/ml, the separation is performed. It takes only three minutes to capture the entire process of Raman spectroscopy. When the concentration of bacteria is about 1〇5 CFU/ml, the process of concentration and Raman spectroscopy can be completely separated and captured in about 30 minutes. In summary, the structural design of the sorting electrode unit 70 4 , the capturing electrode unit 5 and the shielding electrodes 6 is provided in the micro flow channel 3 of the wafer body 3, and the sorting electrode unit 4 can be used first. Capturing the electrophoretic force generated by the electrode unit 5, separating biomolecules having different dielectric properties in the sample, and controlling the predetermined capturing segment 302, and then collecting the separated biomolecules under the shielding electrode 6, In this way, even a low-concentration biological sample can be concentrated by the capture electrodes 51, so that the region where the shielding electricity #6 is located has a very high concentration of the biological molecules to be tested, thereby solving the current pull. Mann optical inspection cannot be applied to the bottleneck of low-concentration samples. In addition, through the above structural design, the microfluidic wafer can also perform Raman spectroscopy detection in the process of separation and capture concentration of biomolecules, and the Raman spectroscopy signal generates magnetic field resonance by the shisha shielding electrode 6'. The enhancement of dozens of times 'in addition to greatly increasing the signal identification and shortening the detection time', when identifying biomolecules, it can also be measured with lower intensity laser light (about 1 mW) to avoid The activity of the biological sample is destroyed, and the signal of sufficient identification is obtained by the effect of the roughening shielding electrode 6. Therefore, the present invention has the functions of rapid separation and capture concentration, and combined with surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (4) microfluidic wafers, which can be widely used in the isolation and identification of clinical pathogenic bacteria, as well as pathogenic bacteria in animal husbandry and food industries. With rapid detection of quality, etc. The object of the invention can indeed be achieved.
