[Embodiment] A fluid device for performing an assay may include a control component such as a vacuum pump, a gas pump, a Broken open valve, and a "self-close valve", which is used for Controlling fluid flow in the fluidic device. A vacuum pump can be used to draw fluid in the channel in a particular direction' and a gas pump can be used to push the fluid in the channel in a particular direction. A disconnected open valve can be used to connect the user controlled Two separate zones' and a self-closing valve can be used to automatically seal the passage after the fluid passes. The vacuum pump, gas pump, disconnect open valve, and self-closing valve can be made small so that the fluidic device can be made small and In the following description, individual control components can be introduced first, and then how the control components are combined to construct a description of the sputum assembly used to control the fluid in the fluid device. How to use the fluid will be described later The device performs a bioassay. Referring to Figure 1A', the container 1 can be placed in a channel 106 (or chamber defined by material) The vacuum pump % is constructed. The container 1 is closed to the area 104, the area 1 〇 4 is vacuum or has a lower gas pressure than the gas pressure in the channel 1 〇 6. Referring to Figure 1B, the container 100 can be, for example, glass. The capillary, which is disconnected immediately after the application of an external force. When the container 1 is opened, the gas in the channel 1〇6 flows into the vacuum region 104', thereby reducing the pressure in the channel contact. In this way, it can be pulled in the direction 1G8. The fluid is directed toward the channel (10) 10 99-3-22. - Figures 25A to 25C show an example of a vacuum pump using a glass capillary placed in a rubber tube. Figure 25A shows a cross section of the gas pump 41〇, The gas pump 410 has a vacuum glass capillary 416_' disposed in the rubber tube 418, wherein the tube 418 has a closed end 424 and an open end 426. Figure 25 shows a cross section of the gas pump 412, which is similar to the gas pump 41, In addition to having a rubber tube 42 with two open ends, Figure 25c shows a gas pump 412 coupled to two rubber tubes 428, wherein the rubber tube 420 has an inner diameter larger than the rubber tube 428 (to accommodate the glass wool) Tube 416) Figures 26A and 26B show an example of a vacuum pump using a glass capillary placed in a planar fluid passage. Figure 1 shows the transverse base of the vacuum pump 43 and the vacuum pump 430 has been placed on the flat substrate 434. The fluid glass 438 has a closed glass 416. The fluid channel 438 has a closed 440 and an open end 442. The planar substrate 434 is slid into the substrate 434 by a rigid material = layer 436 adjacent to the capillary, so that The user applies an external force through the layer to open the capillary. Straight * ί is not the transverse surface of the vacuum pump 432, the vacuum pump 432 is similar to the two channels 438 connected to the closed end of the closed tube with a smaller cross section to melt the glass No. - ====: Adding g heat to soften the glass from the first-closed end, the softened glass can be pinched or twisted to form the closed end of the second. 11 1336781 99-3-22 Referring to Figure 2A, the gas pump % can be constructed by placing the container 110 in a channel 106 (or chamber) defined by the material ι2. The container 11 encloses a region 1 Π which has a higher gas pressure than the gas 麈 force in the channel 1 〇 6 outside the container 11 。. Referring to Fig. 2B, the container no can be, for example, a glass capillary which is broken immediately after an external force is applied. When the container 110 is disconnected, the gas originally inside the crying chamber flows out of the container 110, thereby increasing the pressure in the channel 1〇6. In this way a force is generated that can push the fluid in direction 114 away from the passage. In this description, the term "vacuum pump" will be used to generally refer to a device that produces traction that can be used to pull fluid toward the device; and the term gas pump will be used to refer to a device that generates a pushing force that can be used to push a fluid Keep it away from the device. There are alternative ways to construct a gas pump. For example, referring to Fig. 3A', a gas pump 94 can be fabricated by placing a glass capillary ι2 partially filled with a first material 126 in a channel 124 (or chamber) containing a second material 128. The first material 126 and the second material 128 are selected such that when the material 126 and the material 128 are mixed with one another, the two will interact and produce one or more gases. For example, the first material 126 can be sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and/or sodium bicarbonate (NaHC03), and the second material 128 can be acetic acid (ch2cooh). Referring to Figure 3B, when an external force is applied to break the glass capillary 120, the first material 126 interacts with the second material 128 and produces a gas. In this example, the gas is carbon dioxide (C〇2). The chemical reaction that occurs is: 12 1336781 99-3-22
Na2C〇3 + 2 CH2C00H 2 NaCOOCH2 + H2〇 + C〇2Na2C〇3 + 2 CH2C00H 2 NaCOOCH2 + H2〇 + C〇2
NaHC〇3 + CH2COOH -> NaCOOCH2 + H2〇 + C02 二氧化碳增大通道124中之壓力,從而產生可用以推 動流體遠離斷開之毛細管120的力。 第一材料126可直接填充至毛細管12〇中。參看圖 27Λ ’第一材料126亦可附著至導線45〇,隨後導線450 與塗佈材料126 一起置放於毛細管120内部。圖27B展承 將玻璃毛細管120置放於橡膠管418内之通道124中的實 例。通道124含有第二材料128,當玻璃毛細管120斷開 時第二材料128可與第一材料126相互作用。圖27C展斧 將玻璃毛細管120置放於平面裝置基板434内之流體通道 438中的實例。彈性層436嵌入於基板434中鄰近毛細管 120之位置處,使得允許使用者經由彈性層436施加外力 以斷開毛細管120。 參看圖4A,可藉由以下步驟來製造氣體泵96 :將化 合物130置放於玻璃毛細管132中、密封毛細管132、加 熱毛細管132、冷卻毛細管132且將毛細管132置放於通 道(或腔室)中。將化合物130選擇為在加熱後產生 氣體的材料。當加熱及冷卻毛細管132時,由化合物 虞生之氣體增大毛細管132内部的氣體壓力(與毛細管132 外部的氣體壓力相比較)。 化合物130之實例包括碳酸氫鈉(NaHc〇3)以及碳酸鈣 (CaC〇3)。此等化合物加熱時產生二氧化碳:NaHC〇3 + CH2COOH -> NaCOOCH2 + H2〇 + C02 Carbon dioxide increases the pressure in channel 124, creating a force that can be used to push the fluid away from the broken capillary 120. The first material 126 can be directly filled into the capillary 12〇. Referring to Fig. 27A', the first material 126 can also be attached to the wire 45A, and then the wire 450 is placed inside the capillary 120 together with the coating material 126. Fig. 27B shows an example in which the glass capillary 120 is placed in the passage 124 in the rubber tube 418. Channel 124 contains a second material 128 that can interact with first material 126 when glass capillary 120 is broken. Figure 27C shows an example of placing a glass capillary 120 in a fluid channel 438 in a planar device substrate 434. The elastic layer 436 is embedded in the substrate 434 at a position adjacent to the capillary 120, allowing the user to apply an external force via the elastic layer 436 to break the capillary 120. Referring to FIG. 4A, a gas pump 96 can be fabricated by placing the compound 130 in a glass capillary 132, sealing the capillary 132, heating the capillary 132, cooling the capillary 132, and placing the capillary 132 in the channel (or chamber). in.

Self-closing valves for planar fluidic devices can be fabricated by coating a planar substrate with SAP and subsequently placing the coated substrate in a planar channel in a planar fluidic device. Referring to Figures 9A through 9C', the switch opening 190 can be made by using a glass capillary 142 and an SAP 162 positioned outside of the capillary 142 and adjacent to the capillary 142. Capillary 142 and SAP 162 are both positioned in channel 164 having a first region 166 and a second region 168. Use of broken glass 16 1336781 99-3-22 Thin tube 142 and SAP are similar to the combination of a disconnected open valve and a self-closing valve. Switching the open valve 190 allows the user to control the flow of fluid through a particular location in the channel by allowing, subsequently blocking, and then allowing fluid to pass through a particular location. Referring to Figure 9A, initially, SAP 162 has a smaller volume and does not block the passage, allowing fluid to flow between first region 166 and second region 168. Referring to Figure 9B, as the fluid passes, a portion of the fluid is adsorbed by SAp 162, thereby increasing the volume of SAP 162, thereby blocking further flow of fluid between first region 166 and first region 168. Referring to Figure 9C', when an external force is applied to break the glass capillary 142, a passageway 152 is created to allow fluid to flow between the first region 166 and the second region 168. Referring to Figures 10A through 10C, the switch width 200 can be made by using the break capillary M2 and the SAP 162 positioned inside the capillary 142. Capillary 142 has an open end 144 and a closed end 146. The open end 144 is positioned in the first passage 148 and the closed end 146 is positioned in the second passage 150.

I Referring to Fig. 10B, when an external force is applied to break the glass capillary ] 日 4 17 1336781 99-3-22, a passage 152 ′ is formed to allow fluid to flow between the passages 148 and 15 。. The SAP 162 initially has a small volume and does not block the flow of fluid in the passage 152. Referring to Figure 10C, as fluid flows through passage 152, portions of the fluid are adsorbed by SAP 162, causing the SAP volume to increase and block passage 152, thereby preventing fluid from flowing further through passage 152. Referring to Figures 11A through 11D, the switch-off valve can be manufactured by using a glass capillary 142, an SAP 212 positioned inside the capillary 142, and an SAP 214 positioned outside the capillary 142 (〇n_〇ff_〇n_〇ff# Valve). Glass capillaries 142, SAp212, and SAp2i4 are placed in the port 164. The glass capillary 142, SAP 212, and SAP 214 perform a function similar to the combination of an open-open valve and two self-closing valves. The switch-off valve 210 allows the user to enable, subsequently block, and subsequently =. After Ik and Ik, the fluid is passed through a specific location to control the flow of fluid through a particular location in the channel. Referring to FIG. 11A, initially, SAP 214 has a smaller volume and allows flow; flow between first region 166 and second region 168 of channel 164. • Tea Looking at Figure 11B, as the fluid passes, the portion of the fluid is increased by SAp 214 = « to increase the volume of SAP 214, thereby blocking further flow of fluid between first region M6 and second region 168. Referring to the diagram lie, when an external force is applied to break the capillary capillary 142, the path 152 allows the fluid to move between the first region (6) and the second region 168. Looking at the image UD, when the fluid flows through the SAP, the portion of the fluid is adsorbed by the 1336781 99-3-22 SAP 2^12, thereby increasing the volume of the SAp 212 and blocking the passage 152, thereby preventing the fluid from flowing further. Path ι52. Referring to Figure 12, a metering straw (Metei.ing P) 220 for drawing a predetermined amount of fluid can be constructed by using a vacuum pump 222 coupled to the straw body 224. Vacuum pump 222 includes a vacuum glass capillary 100 disposed in a straw sphere 226. To use the metering straw 22, the glass capillary 1 is broken to create an attractive force for drawing fluid into the straw body 224. When the batch of metering straws 220 are manufactured, the spheres 220 and the glass capillary tubes 100 can be made the same size. The ball 226 and the glass capillary 1 are further counted by the user to press the ball 226 to break the glass capillary 1 〇〇 4, causing the amount of deformation of the application sphere 226 required to break the glass capillary 100 for all metering straws 220. In general, it is the same. In this manner, the user can use the metering straw 220 to quickly draw a predetermined amount of fluid without having to monitor the fluid content of the straw body 224. For example, referring to Figures 21A and 21B, a metering pipette 220 can be used to quickly sample a predetermined amount of blood 370 from a patient. Referring to Figure 13, another example of a metering straw 230 includes a vacuum pump 222 and a gas pump 232. The vacuum pump 222 is similar to the vacuum pump shown in FIG. Gas pump 232 includes a glass capillary 120 filled with NafO3 and placed in a straw sphere 234 containing CHfOOH. When the glass capillary 120 is broken, 'Na2C〇3 interacts with CHfOOH to generate C〇2, thereby increasing the gas pressure in the sphere 234. The vacuum pump 222 allows the user to quickly draw a predetermined amount of fluid into the straw 230. The gas record 232 allows the user to dispense fluid outside of the straw 230. 19 1336781 99-3-22 The advantage of using gas pump 232 is that when the reaction between (1) 2 gas is generated,

Another example of the MA' metering straw 24 includes a sphere (10), a middle portion 244, and a straw body 246. The intermediate portion 244 is positioned in the intermediate portion 244 by a deformable two switch open valve 248. The switch open valve 248 includes a glass capillary 142 and an SAP 162 positioned outside of the capillary 142, similar to the device shown in Figures 9A-9c. > Looking at Figure 14A, in order to use the suction tube 240, the user squeezes and releases the ball 242 to draw fluid into the body 246 and the intermediate portion 244. Referring to Figure 14B, when the fluid reaches intermediate portion 244 and begins to contact SAp 248, the portion of the fluid is adsorbed by SAP 248, causing SAP 248 to expand in volume and block the fluid passage on the other side of SAp 248. In this manner, a predetermined amount of fluid 252 is drawn into the straw 240. Referring to Figure 14C, to drain fluid from the suction tube 24, the user presses the intermediate portion 244 (made of a deformable material) to break the glass capillary 142' to form a passage through the broken capillary 142. The user then squeezes the ball 242 to force fluid out of the straw 240. When a plurality of suction tubes 240 are manufactured, the tubular body 246 and the intermediate portion 244 are the same size, and the position of the switch opening valve 248 in the intermediate portion 244 is the same, so that the user can use the suction tube 240 to eliminate the need for precise monitoring of the straw. Quickly draw substantially the same amount of 20 99-3-22 in the case of a liquid content of 240.

The self-closing interval and the cymbal can be similar to the self-closing interval shown in Figs. 6A to 8C. The break open valves 27A and 2 can be similar to the split open between Figs. 5A and 5B. In operation, due to capillary forces, fluid 274 is drawn into capillary tube 262 and flows through self-closing valves 268a and 26A. Referring to FIG. 1SB, when fluid 274 flows through self-closing valves 268a and 268b, portions of fluid 274 are adsorbed by SAP in shut-off valves 268a and 268b, thereby causing self-closing valves 268a and 268b to be turned off. The further flow of fluid 274 is blocked. In this manner, fluid 274 occupies a section 264 between the self-closing valves 268a and 268b of the capillary.

An advantage of the metering device 260 is that the metering device 260 can quickly sample a predetermined volume of fluid without careful monitoring by the user. Because the capillary has a small diameter, the metering device 260 can be used to accurately sample a small amount of fluid.

When passing through the self-closing valve 286a, the sAp expansion in the self-closing valve 286a causes the self-closing valve 286a to enter a closed state, thereby preventing the fluid from moving further through the self-closing valve 286a. Similarly, a predetermined amount of fluid can be drawn into the capillaries 284b and 284c by opening the vacuum pump 288b with the vacuum capillary of the 288e towel. The amount of fluid that is drawn into the capillaries 284a through 284c is determined by the volume of the capillaries in the vacuum pumps 288a through 288c. The amount of fluid that is drawn into the capillaries 284a through 284c can be the same or different.

The two-step assay requires cleaning with a buffer after rapid binding of the reagent. One end of the channel 3〇2 is coupled to the sample cell containing the sample 3〇〇 via the self-closing valve 296, and the other end of the channel 302 is coupled to the first vacuum pump 292a. Channel 3〇2 is coupled to channel 308' and channel 308 is coupled via a disconnected open valve 294 to a reservoir containing buffer 298. Channel 3〇2 is also coupled to channel 304, which is coupled to second vacuum pump 292t) and third vacuum pump 292c. Channel 304 includes a binding and/or sensing region 〇6, and the binding and/or sensing region 306 package 22 1336781 99-3-22 includes reagents for binding or sensing compounds in sample 300. Device 290 is operated in a manner such that sample 300 is aspirated toward bonding and sensing region 306 to cause a reaction to occur, followed by buffer 298 to the bonding and sensing region 306 to clean the bonding and sensing regions. Referring to Figure 17B, vacuum pump 292a is activated to generate an attractive force that draws sample 300 toward vacuum pump 292a and draws sample 3〇〇 to a portion of passage 302 between vacuum pump 292a and self-closing valve 296. When the sample 3 〇〇 flows through the self-closing valve 296, a portion of the sample is sucked by the sap in the self-closing valve 296, thereby bringing the self-closing valve 296 into a closed state. Referring to Figure 17C, the break open valve 294 is actuated to change the valve 294 to the open state. The vacuum pump 292b is activated to generate an attractive force for drawing the sample 300 and the buffer 298 toward the vacuum pump 292b. Vacuum pumps 292a and 292b are designed such that the sample 3 will stop at the bond and sensing zone 306 after the pump is activated. After a period of time, vacuum pump 292c is activated to move sample 300 out of zone 306 and buffer 298 is passed through zone 306 and wash zone 306. The above example provides an incubation time to allow the compound in sample 3〇〇 to react with the reagent in zone 306 prior to buffer 290 wash binding and sensing zone 3〇6. If the reaction at zone 306 is fast and the incubation time is unnecessary, then vacuum pump 292b can be made larger and vacuum pump 292c can be omitted. When the vacuum pump 292b is activated, the sample rapidly flows through the bond and sensing region 306' and then the buffer 298 cleans the bond and sense region 306. Referring to Figure 18A, a device 310 for a two-step assay can be made by using a vacuum pump, a disconnect open valve, a 23 1336781 99-3-22 shut-off valve, and a combination of gas pumps. The two-step assay requires slow binding of the reagents. Afterwards, it is washed with a buffer. Device 310, similar to device 290, has a channel 302 that is connected to two channels 304 and 308. Channel 302 is coupled to sample 300 via self-closing valve 296. Channel 308 is coupled to buffer 298 via a disconnect open valve 294. Channel 304 includes a bond and sense region 306. One end of the passage 304 is coupled to the break open valve 312. The gas pump 314 is coupled to the buffer 298. The difference between the device 310 and the device 290 is that the device 310 does not use the vacuum pump 292b to draw the sample 300 and the buffer 298 toward the bonding and sensing region 306, but instead uses the gas pump 314. The sample 300 and buffer 298 are pushed toward the zone 306. Referring to Figure 18B, in order to perform a two-step assay, vacuum pump 292a is activated to draw sample 300 into the channel. Valve 296 enters a closed state after the sample has flowed through self-closing valve 296. Referring to Fig. 18C, the open type open valves 294 and 312 are actuated to change the valve to the open state. Gas pump 3.14 is activated to generate gas over a period of time to push sample 300 and buffer 298 through bonding and sensing region 306. Since the gas pump 314 generates gas over a period of time (the reaction between the gas generating compounds takes a certain amount of time to complete), the sample 300 can slowly pass through the bonding and sensing regions 306, so that the binding reaction occurs slowly. Referring to Fig. 19A, a device 320 for a three-step test can be fabricated by adding a reservoir containing a second buffer 324 and a channel 322 to the structure shown in Fig. 17A. The buffer is cleaned. In order to perform the speed-binding reagent and use two to make the sample 300 flow to the channel 3〇H check 'start true line 292a 296, wide 296 changes to off=when the sample flows through the self-closing valve skin f Γ straight ί The valve 294 is opened to change it to the suction sampling sample 3D and the first-buffering month direction 'binding and sensing area _

The module includes a sample cell for sample _ and three chambers 332a, 332b, and 332c, each containing an analyte for binding and sensing a sample of the compound. The components used to perform the assay associated with the first analyte in chamber 332a are described below. Chamber 332a is coupled to sample reservoir 282 via passage 342a and self-closing valve 344& The passage 342a is coupled to the first buffer 350a via a self-closing valve 346a and a split open width 348a. Channel 342a is coupled to second buffer 356a via self-closing 352a and disconnected open valve 354a. The passage 342a is coupled to the 25 1336781 99-3-22 second buffer 362a via a self-closing valve 358a and a disconnected open valve 360a. Chamber 332a is also coupled to vacuum pumps 334a, 336a, 338a, and 340a. To perform the palpitations, the attendant vacuum pump 334a draws the sample 300 toward the chamber 332a to allow the compound in the sample 300 to react with the analyte 332a. After a certain amount of sample flows through the self-closing valve 344a, the valve 344a changes to the closed state. The first buffer 35〇a is flushed through the chamber 332a by actuating the open type open valve 34 such as (changing the valve to open) and the second vacuum pump 336a. After the -quantity-buffer 35〇a flows through the self-closing valve 346a, the valve 346a is changed to the closed state. The second buffer 356a is flushed through the chamber 332a by opening and closing the opening valve 354a (changing the width to the open state) and the third vacuum pump 338a. After a certain amount of the second buffer 356a flows through the self-closing valve 352a, the valve 352a is changed to the closed state. In a similar manner, the third buffer is flushed through the chamber 332a by actuating the break open valve 36〇a (changing the valve to the open state) and the fourth vacuum pump ground. After the third buffer 3 to be metered must flow through the self-closing valve 358a, the valve 358a is changed to the closed state. Execution of the second and third analytes associated with the chambers 332b and 332e may be performed simultaneously with the chambers, the chambers, and the chambers 332c, similar to performing the assay associated with the first analyte in the chamber 332a.

This diagnostic zone has a passageway connecting the blood sample cell 601 and the flush buffer pool 603, while the other end is connected to the waste pond 611 via a break open valve (B〇V) 6〇9. The self-closing valve (SLV) 613 is the amount of blood that can be controlled to flow into the diagnostic zone 6〇7 before the blood sample cell 601 enters the channel, and prevents blood from flowing back to the blood sample cell 601. After the disconnected open valve (BOV) 609 is disconnected, the liquid is first filtered through the membrane of the removable blood cells, and then further inhaled into the diagnostic area 607, at this time, the antibody array in the diagnostic area 607. It will bind to the antigen in the blood (Antigent), while the flushing buffer 6〇3 will flush the inactive blood into the waste pool 611. Some examples have been discussed above, but other implementations and applications are also within the scope of the following claims. For example, in the vacuum pump 90 of Figures 1A and 1B, the container 1 may contain a low pressure region rather than a vacuum region. As long as the gas pressure inside the vessel 1 is lower than the external gas pressure of 336781 τ /J on the vessel 1 〇〇 29, when the vessel 100 is disconnected, the pressure in the vessel 1 of the vessel 1 will decrease, thereby generating Facing the container 1 in one direction: = attractiveness of the body.
