Abstract
Description
本案係關於一種聚合酶連鎖反應(polymerase chain reaction,PCR)檢測裝置及包含該檢測裝置之系統。明確而言,本案係關於一種微流道PCR檢測裝置及包含該檢測裝置之檢測系統,以及使用該該檢測裝置之檢測系統的檢測方法。 This case relates to a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection device and a system including the detection device. Specifically, this case relates to a microfluidic PCR detection device, a detection system including the detection device, and a detection method using the detection system of the detection device.
近年來疾病診斷常使用DNA與mRNA的基因放大技術,例如:聚合酶鏈鎖反應(Polymerase Chain Reaction,PCR),更進一步發展出螢光即時PCR(Fluorescence Based Real-Time PCR)、即時聚合酶鏈鎖反應(real-time PCR,RT-PCR)或定量聚合酶鏈鎖反應(quantitative PCR,qPCR)。傳統的PCR技術其原理是藉由不同溫度的循環反應放大DNA分子,接著將產物放入凝膠電泳裝置偵測結果,此種檢測方法本身耗費時間且另有準確性的缺點。RT-PCR或者qPCR因為將螢光分子鑲嵌在放大標的的基因片段上,當放大過程放大基因片段的同時,也將螢光訊號放大。與此同時,可以靠著偵測螢光訊號來得到即時的檢測。但缺點是,qPCR的檢測試劑因為含有螢光標記,價格昂貴。 In recent years, disease diagnosis often uses DNA and mRNA gene amplification technology, such as polymerase chain reaction (Polymerase Chain Reaction, PCR), and further developed Fluorescence Based Real-Time PCR, real-time polymerase chain reaction lock reaction (real-time PCR, RT-PCR) or quantitative polymerase chain reaction (quantitative PCR, qPCR). The principle of traditional PCR technology is to amplify DNA molecules through cyclic reactions at different temperatures, and then put the products into a gel electrophoresis device to detect the results. This detection method itself is time-consuming and has the disadvantage of accuracy. RT-PCR or qPCR embeds fluorescent molecules on the amplified target gene fragment. When the amplification process amplifies the gene fragment, it also amplifies the fluorescent signal. At the same time, real-time detection can be obtained by detecting fluorescent signals. However, the disadvantage is that qPCR detection reagents are expensive because they contain fluorescent labels.
為改善習知PCR裝置檢測的缺點,故本揭示之目的在於提供一種微流道PCR與生物檢測晶片(例如,表面電漿共振(surface plasmon resonance,SPR)晶片)整合裝置來縮短PCR檢測時間的PCR檢測裝置及檢測系統。 In order to improve the shortcomings of conventional PCR device detection, the purpose of this disclosure is to provide a microfluidic PCR and biological detection chip (for example, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chip) integrated device to shorten PCR detection time.

4.奈米狹縫表面電漿共振(SPR)晶片 4. Nano-slit surface plasmon resonance (SPR) chip
藉由文獻中提出的方法(Chuang,C.-S.,Wu,C.-Y.,Juan,P.-H.,Hou,N.-C.,Fan,Y.-J.,Wei,P.-K.,Sheen,H.-J.,2020.Analyst 145,52-60,藉由引用以其全文併入本文)製備鍍金奈米狹縫晶片。將定義的奈米狹縫結構(間距為500nm,寬度為80nm)精確蝕刻在矽片上,然後通過電極定位法轉移到鎳鈷(Ni-Co)合金模具上。然後,根據文獻中提出的方法(Lee,K.-L.,Chen,P.-W.,Wu,S.-H.,Huang,J.-B.,Yang,S.-Y.,Wei,P.-K.,2012.ACS Nano 6,2931-2939;及Lee,K.-L.,You,M.-L.,Tsai,C.-H.,Lin,E.-H.,Hsieh,S.-Y.,Ho,M.-H.,Hsu,J.-C.,Wei,P.-K.,2016.,藉由引用以其全文併入本文),藉由熱壓奈米壓印光刻(在165℃的溫度和690kPa的工作壓力下)將Ni-Co模具上的奈米結構壓印至聚碳酸酯(PC)薄膜上。最後,使用直流濺射系統(Ulvac,Methuen,MA,USA),將金沉積到奈米狹縫PC薄膜上(沉積時間為70秒,工作壓力為4×10-6kPa,空氣流量為50標準cm3/min(sccm),功率為0.06kW)。為了將微流道 PCR與奈米狹縫SPR晶片整合,使用具有腔室開口的耐熱雙面膠帶以流體可連通方式將SPR晶片黏合至PCR微通道末端處。 By the method proposed in the literature (Chuang, C.-S., Wu, C.-Y., Juan, P.-H., Hou, N.-C., Fan, Y.-J., Wei, P.-K., Sheen, H.-J., 2020. Analyst 145, 52-60, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety) prepared gold-coated nanoslit wafers. The defined nanoslit structure (spacing 500nm, width 80nm) is accurately etched on the silicon wafer, and then transferred to a nickel-cobalt (Ni-Co) alloy mold through the electrode positioning method. Then, according to the method proposed in the literature (Lee, K.-L., Chen, P.-W., Wu, S.-H., Huang, J.-B., Yang, S.-Y., Wei ,P.-K.,2012.ACS Nano 6,2931-2939; and Lee,K.-L.,You,M.-L.,Tsai,C.-H.,Lin,E.-H., Hsieh, S.-Y., Ho, M.-H., Hsu, J.-C., Wei, P.-K., 2016., incorporated herein by reference in their entirety), by hot pressing Nanoimprint lithography (at a temperature of 165°C and a working pressure of 690kPa) imprints the nanostructures on the Ni-Co mold onto the polycarbonate (PC) film. Finally, gold was deposited onto the nanoslit PC film using a DC sputtering system (Ulvac, Methuen, MA, USA) (deposition time was 70 s, working pressure was 4 × 10 -6 kPa, and air flow was 50 standard cm 3 /min (sccm), power is 0.06kW). To integrate the microfluidic PCR with the nanoslit SPR chip, a heat-resistant double-sided tape with a chamber opening was used to fluidically bond the SPR chip to the end of the PCR microchannel.
5.SPR晶片的表面改性 5.Surface modification of SPR wafer
為了檢測測試用的LMP1基因,微流道裝置中的SPR晶片用LMP1 DNA探針(5′-GTCATAGTAGCTTAGCTGAACTGGGCCGT-3′)進一步修飾。 To detect the LMP1 gene for testing, the SPR chip in the microfluidic device was further modified with an LMP1 DNA probe (5′-GTCATAGTAGCTTAGCTGAACTGGGCCGT-3′).
使半胱胺溶液(100μg/ml)流入上述製備的裝置並培育2小時,使半胱胺通過硫醇基團與SPR晶片的金覆蓋表面結合。用去離子(DI)水洗滌後,將LMP1探針泵入裝置中並保持不同的時間間隔,以使LMP1探針靜電吸附到SPR晶片上。最後,用去離子水清洗器件以完成表面改性。 A cysteamine solution (100 μg/ml) was flowed into the device prepared above and incubated for 2 hours, allowing the cysteamine to bind to the gold-covered surface of the SPR wafer through the thiol groups. After washing with deionized (DI) water, the LMP1 probe was pumped into the device for various time intervals to allow the LMP1 probe to electrostatically adsorb to the SPR wafer. Finally, the device was cleaned with deionized water to complete the surface modification.
6.光學測量裝置 6. Optical measurement device
構建用於測量上述SPR晶片的透明型共振光譜的光學裝置。當寬帶白光通過奈米狹縫SPR晶片時,位於SPR晶片另一側的偏振器會濾除橫向磁(TM)方向的共振波長。透射光通過光纖透鏡用光纖收集,然後用光譜儀(B&W Tek,Newark,DE,USA)測量。 An optical device for measuring the transparent resonance spectrum of the above SPR wafer was constructed. When broadband white light passes through the nanoslit SPR chip, a polarizer located on the other side of the SPR chip filters out the resonant wavelength in the transverse magnetic (TM) direction. The transmitted light was collected with an optical fiber through a fiber optic lens and then measured with a spectrometer (B&W Tek, Newark, DE, USA).
7.SPR數據分析 7.SPR data analysis
感測機制如圖7所示。TM方向的諧振波長(λ)可以表示為λ=a.dp; (1)其中a為是鍍金奈米狹縫附近的環境折射率,dp是奈米狹縫的周期。 The sensing mechanism is shown in Figure 7. The resonant wavelength (λ) in the TM direction can be expressed as λ = a.dp; (1) where a is the refractive index of the environment near the gold-plated nanoslit, and dp is the period of the nanoslit.
首先,將奈米狹縫SPR晶片浸入水中,此時a等於1.33。當LMP1探針被修飾到金覆蓋的奈米狹縫表面時,折射率增加,共振波長發生紅移。隨後,當感測LMP1標靶並結合到探針上時,由於折射率增加,共振波長再次發生紅移。為了量化紅移,使用光譜矩心法(spectral centroid method)進行光譜處理以定位共振波長。每2秒記錄一次計算出的不同時間間隔的共振波長,並繪製在時間相關圖中,以觀察不同DNA結合階段共振波長的變化。通過減去DNA與奈米狹縫SPR晶片結 合前後的平均波長來評估紅移值。 First, the nano-slit SPR wafer is immersed in water, when a is equal to 1.33. When the LMP1 probe is modified onto the gold-covered nanoslit surface, the refractive index increases and the resonance wavelength red-shifts. Subsequently, when the LMP1 target is sensed and bound to the probe, the resonant wavelength is red-shifted again due to the increase in refractive index. To quantify the red shift, spectral processing was performed using the spectral centroid method to locate the resonance wavelength. The calculated resonance wavelengths at different time intervals were recorded every 2 seconds and plotted in a time correlation graph to observe the changes in resonance wavelengths at different DNA binding stages. The red shift value was evaluated by subtracting the average wavelength before and after DNA was bonded to the nanoslit SPR chip.

First, heat-resistant double-sided tape T (thickness 400 μm) is used as a carrier to adhere to the first acrylic substrate (acrylic plate) P1, and then the laser beam of the laser engraving machine Le is used to engrave the microfluidic channel in the designed microfluidic pattern. The microfluidic design portion of the heat-resistant double-sided tape is removed to create a channel (width 300 μm) of microfluidic channel 11 (Fig. 4(a)). Multiple parallel back-and-forth cycles of equal length in a single strip provide different zones for corresponding PCR temperatures, which can heat or cool the sample 30 times between 95 and 60°C. Then, another second acrylic substrate P2 with reserved inlet and outlet hole openings is bonded to the other side of the pattern tape in such a way that the inlet and outlet are aligned with the starting point and end point of the microfluidic channel respectively, using uniform pressure. P (100kPa) is pressed (Figure 4(b)) and irradiated with ultraviolet L (10 minutes) to solidify and seal the glue (Figure 4(c)), and the microfluidic substrate can be made (Figure 4(d)).
參照圖5之製備流程圖,在不使用載體下製備微流道基板。首先,以雷射切割機Lc切割出二片相同尺寸(長度87mm,寬度50mm)之第一丙烯酸基板(壓克力板)P1及第二丙烯酸基板P2(圖5(a))。使用雷射雕刻機Le(CNC雕刻機,EGX-400,Roland)以設計的微流道樣式於第一丙烯酸基板P1上直接進行雕刻(圖5(b))。微流道設計之寬度為300μm,深度為100μm,單條多數個等長平行來回的循環為相應的PCR溫度提供不同的區域,可在95到60℃之間加熱或冷卻樣品30次。然後,採用有機溶劑黏合法將第一丙烯酸基板P1及第二丙烯酸基板P2進行微流道基板之封裝。配製20%丙酮及80%酒精作為有機溶劑混合液,並塗佈於無微流道之丙烯酸基板上,再將兩片丙烯酸基板緊密貼合,最後放入熱壓印機,設定目標溫度為60℃、壓力P 為5kg/cm 2,於此條件下持續3分鐘左右待其固化(圖5(c)),降溫後取出,完成微流道基板封裝。 Referring to the preparation flow chart in Figure 5, the microfluidic substrate is prepared without using a carrier. First, a laser cutting machine Lc is used to cut two pieces of the first acrylic substrate (acrylic plate) P1 and the second acrylic substrate P2 of the same size (length 87 mm, width 50 mm) (Fig. 5(a)). A laser engraving machine Le (CNC engraving machine, EGX-400, Roland) was used to directly engrave the first acrylic substrate P1 with the designed microfluidic pattern (Figure 5(b)). The microfluidic design has a width of 300 μm and a depth of 100 μm. Multiple parallel loops of equal length in a single strip provide different areas for corresponding PCR temperatures. The sample can be heated or cooled 30 times between 95 and 60°C. Then, the first acrylic substrate P1 and the second acrylic substrate P2 are packaged as microfluidic substrates using an organic solvent bonding method. Prepare a mixture of 20% acetone and 80% alcohol as an organic solvent, and coat it on an acrylic substrate without microfluidic channels. Then closely fit the two acrylic substrates, and finally put them into the hot stamping machine and set the target temperature to 60 ℃, pressure P is 5kg/ cm 2 , continue to solidify under these conditions for about 3 minutes (Figure 5(c)), take it out after cooling, and complete the microfluidic substrate packaging.
設置檢測晶片的檢測腔體設計之大小為符合晶片之10x10mm正方形,內部設計成多邊形以減少氣泡之產生,確保流體穩定充滿檢測腔室。以類似於上述製程,透過雷射雕刻機將厚度400μm之耐熱雙面膠裁切而成。 The size of the detection chamber where the detection chip is set is designed to be a 10x10mm square that fits the chip. The interior is designed into a polygon to reduce the generation of bubbles and ensure that the fluid fills the detection chamber stably. Using a process similar to the above, the heat-resistant double-sided tape with a thickness of 400 μm is cut by a laser engraving machine.

A proportional integral derivative controller (PID controller) is used to adjust the current to achieve the desired temperature. A resistance temperature detector connected to the heating plate sends a signal back to the PID controller to stabilize the heating process.

Temperatures were recorded every minute and spacing distances of 8, 9 and 10 cm were applied. The results showed that the temperature stabilized within 10 minutes (shown in Figure 6A). When the distance d is smaller, there is a higher temperature in the third heating zone.
對於微流道PCR而言,試劑需要在95℃至60℃之間熱循環以進行DNA擴增,而對於SPR晶片,溫度應保持在63.7攝氏度左右, 即探針的解鏈溫度(Tm)以進行DNA檢測。因此間距d設定於9cm。熱電偶監測變性(第一加熱區)、引子黏合(第二加熱區)及延長和檢測(第三加熱區)的溫度(如圖6B所示)。 For microfluidic PCR, the reagents need to be thermally cycled between 95°C and 60°C for DNA amplification, while for SPR wafers, the temperature should be maintained at around 63.7°C, That is, the melting temperature (Tm) of the probe for DNA detection. Therefore, the distance d is set to 9cm. Thermocouples monitor the temperatures of denaturation (first heating zone), primer adhesion (second heating zone), and elongation and detection (third heating zone) (shown in Figure 6B ).
結果顯示,在加熱5分鐘後,裝置達到了所需的溫度(如圖6C所示)。在持續至少1小時的微流道PCR區域中觀察到均勻的溫度分佈。此外,當加熱板相距10mm時,第三加熱區保持在65℃。 The results showed that after 5 minutes of heating, the device reached the desired temperature (as shown in Figure 6C).

First, a PCR solution containing LMP1 DNA with an initial concentration of 10 μg/mL was pumped into the microchannel PCR, and the syringe pump was set to different flow rates, namely 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 μL/min. The products were then analyzed by gel electrophoresis.
結果顯示,在3、4及5μL/min的流速下,凝膠電泳的螢光信號出現在正確的位置(300bp),顯示本揭示之微流道裝置可在此流動條件下成功擴增DNA。相比之下,流速為6及7μL/min時,未顯示出螢光信號,顯示該流速太快而無法產生產物,導致凝膠電泳無法檢測到的低濃度。這些結果表明,本揭示之微流道PCR裝置可成功擴增LMP1 DNA。 The results showed that at flow rates of 3, 4 and 5 μL/min, the fluorescent signal of gel electrophoresis appeared at the correct position (300 bp), indicating that the microfluidic device of the present disclosure can successfully amplify DNA under these flow conditions. In contrast, flow rates of 6 and 7 μL/min showed no fluorescent signal, indicating that the flow rate was too fast to produce product, resulting in low concentrations that could not be detected by gel electrophoresis. These results indicate that the microfluidic PCR device of the present disclosure can successfully amplify LMP1 DNA.
實施例6:整合生物檢測晶片之微流道PCR裝置的檢測能力Example 6: Detection capability of microfluidic PCR device integrated with biological detection chip
為了確認整合裝置的檢測能力,在不同流速下記錄以10分鐘培育時間下,本揭示之PCR檢測裝置所產生之紅移,然後與傳統PCR機器擴增之產物的紅移並列以評估檢測整合設備的能力(圖8)。流速設定為3和4μL/min之裝置的紅移與傳統機器的30個循環相似,裝置的紅移仍處於平穩狀態,這表明SPR感測器已達最大值檢測能力。相比之下,流速設定為6和7μL/min之裝置的紅移低於傳統機器的30個循環的紅移。特別是,流速為7μL/min之裝置的紅移甚至低於傳統 機器的20個循環的紅移。 In order to confirm the detection capability of the integrated device, the red shift produced by the PCR detection device of the present disclosure was recorded at different flow rates with an incubation time of 10 minutes, and then juxtaposed with the red shift of the product amplified by a traditional PCR machine to evaluate the detection integrated device capabilities (Figure 8). The red shift of the device with flow rates set to 3 and 4 μL/min is similar to that of the traditional machine after 30 cycles, and the red shift of the device is still in a stable state, which indicates that the SPR sensor has reached its maximum detection capability. In comparison, the red shift of devices with flow rates set to 6 and 7 μL/min was lower than that of 30 cycles of a conventional machine. In particular, the red shift of the device with a flow rate of 7 μL/min is even lower than that of the traditional Redshift of 20 cycles of the machine.
另一方面,在5μL/min的流速下,本揭示之PCR檢測裝置表現出與傳統機器相似的擴增能力,但反應時間顯著縮短。本揭示之PCR檢測設備的反應時間僅需要36分鐘,而傳統PCR機器需要105分鐘才能進行30個循環擴增。因此,在本實施例的條件下,5μL/min可被認為是本揭示之PCR檢測裝置的最佳反應流速。 On the other hand, at a flow rate of 5 μL/min, the PCR detection device of the present disclosure exhibits similar amplification capabilities to traditional machines, but the reaction time is significantly shortened. The reaction time of the disclosed PCR detection equipment only takes 36 minutes, while the traditional PCR machine takes 105 minutes to perform 30 cycles of amplification. Therefore, under the conditions of this embodiment, 5 μL/min can be considered as the optimal reaction flow rate of the PCR detection device of the present disclosure.
此外,SPR晶片在達到最大容量之前,在不同流速下都能表現出對應的紅移,此表明SPR晶片可檢測LMP1 DNA,同時在一定程度上可根據濃度進行定量分析。 In addition, the SPR chip can show corresponding red shifts at different flow rates before reaching its maximum capacity, which indicates that the SPR chip can detect LMP1 DNA and can perform quantitative analysis based on concentration to a certain extent.
功效effect
與傳統的PCR機器相比,本揭示之PCR檢測裝置可以顯著減少所需的樣本量。此外,由於PCR溶液和熱源之間的接觸面積增加,溫度控制更有效,使用本揭示之PCR檢測裝置減少了PCR整體擴增時間。擴增後,標靶DNA可被所使用的鍍金奈米狹縫上的DNA探針捕獲,並通過SPR方法進行靈敏檢測。簡而言之,本揭示之裝置可在前端擴增LMP1基因片段,在後端進行檢測,加快PCR速度,對於檢測標靶DNA亦具有較高的特異性和靈敏度。 Compared with traditional PCR machines, the PCR detection device of the present disclosure can significantly reduce the required sample volume. In addition, since the contact area between the PCR solution and the heat source is increased and the temperature control is more effective, the use of the PCR detection device of the present disclosure reduces the overall PCR amplification time. After amplification, the target DNA can be captured by the DNA probe on the gold-coated nanoslit used and sensitively detected by the SPR method. In short, the device disclosed in the present disclosure can amplify the LMP1 gene fragment at the front end and perform detection at the back end, thereby speeding up PCR and having high specificity and sensitivity for detecting target DNA.
