Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for separating and collecting fine particles such as cells, as well as flow cytometry and Celso overnight using the same.
- cell sorting technology based on flow cytometry is known as a method for selecting specific individual cells from a population of microparticles such as cells (for example, see Cell Engineering, separate volume, Flow Cytometry Freedom). Freedom ", supervision: Hiromitsu Nakauchi (Immunology, University of Tsukuba), Shujunsha, published July 1, 1999, pp. 3-23).
- a suspension of target cells to which antibodies previously labeled with a fluorescent dye or the like are bound is used as a liquid stream, and the cells are first irradiated with excitation light in the flow channel in accordance with the labeled fluorescent dye. Then, a desired cell is identified by analyzing the wavelength and intensity of the fluorescence or scattered light emitted from each cell. Next, a voltage is applied to cells having specific properties identified based on the analysis results such as the light intensity and wavelength to charge the cells, and the above-mentioned charged cells are distinguished, quantitated, and statistically determined using a deflection electrode. Perform analysis, etc.
- This method is capable of treating cells in a large amount and at a high speed in a living state. Therefore, in the fields of immunology, hematology, genetic engineering, etc., various kinds of cultured cells can be collected and isolated, and specific cells can be isolated. It is widely used for cloning * propagation, sorting of cells that express a specific antigen on the cell surface, dynamic analysis of cell membrane molecules, and analysis of cell chromosomes. In particular, it is becoming an indispensable tool for analyzing cell dynamics. In addition, this technology has begun to be used in the clinical field, for example, for the analysis of particles in urine.
- the cell analysis and cell separation device used in the cell sorting technique by the flow cytometry is called a cell sorter (Fluororescence-Activated Cell Sorter, FACS).
- FACS Fluororescence-Activated Cell Sorter
- This apparatus further includes a sorting unit downstream of the analysis unit for analyzing the fluorescence and the like.
- a water drop charging system is typically known.
- the sorting of cells (particles) by the water droplet charging method is based on the following principle, for example. That is, the cells where the scattered light and the fluorescence are detected by the irradiation of the laser light, Immediately before the water stream containing the water splits into water droplets, it is charged with a positive or negative charge. When the water droplet containing the charged cells is passed between two polarizing electrode plates having a potential difference during the drop, the water droplet is attracted to the polarizing plate and deflected. Since the water droplets containing uncharged cells and the water droplets containing cells other than the desired cells fall vertically, water droplets containing only the desired cells can be separated and collected.
- the cell sorter is particularly expensive, and its operation and maintenance are too complicated.
- a technology microchip-based technology
- microparticles such as cells
- flow cytometry to separate the desired microparticles.
- a T-shaped flow path is formed, and the direction of the solution that feeds the cells is switched between cells to be sorted and other cells (flow path selection control). ).
- the liquid flow can be switched only once, and therefore only one kind of fine particles can be separated. It is thought that if the liquid flow is switched multiple times, multiple particles can be separated, but in practice, the liquid flow is switched. Because the response time is too slow, multiple pumps are required for multiple switching operations, and the connection between them and the tip and the switching of valves are complicated, making practical use difficult. it is conceivable that.

Therefore, there is a difference in light power (radiation pressure of light, dielectrophoretic force, etc.) acting on it. Due to this difference in force, the fine particles responding to the light pressure move along the axial direction of the beam against the hydrodynamic flow direction toward the dense position of the light field. This force is called optical pressure.
