- the flow path has at least one main flow path 103 that communicates with each well and supplies a side path 105 that connects the main flow path and the well in order to send liquid to each well.
- the flow path has an inlet for injecting the solution.
- an inlet (INLET) is provided at the end of the main channel, and an outlet (OUTLET) for excess solution that also serves as an air outlet for the other end.
- the disk shape Since the sample analysis chip of the present invention distributes liquid to each well 102 by centrifugal force generated by rotating the chip, the disk shape has a point through which the rotation shaft penetrates (hereinafter, center point) at the center.
- center point a point through which the rotation shaft penetrates
- the well can be arranged so as to be concentric with the disk-shaped chip so that the center thereof is the rotation axis, and thus the space is efficient. It is important to apply a centrifugal force evenly to distribute wells to the wells, but the tip is designed so as to have rotational symmetry about the center point except for the area of INLET / OUTLET107. It can be easily realized.
- centrifugal force can be applied evenly if N wells are provided. Of course, this is not the case when the liquid distribution amount of each well is varied. Since the wells are arranged concentrically, all wells can be analyzed in one inspection region by rotating the substrate.
- the main channel 103 is formed closer to the center point than the well.
- the sample analysis chip of the present invention is characterized in that the main flow path is formed so as to have one peak in the center point direction between adjacent wells.

That is, when the side path 105 is formed, it is preferable to form the side path 105 so as to connect the point closest to the center point on the well side and the valley on the main flow path side.
- FIG. 2 is a plan view showing another embodiment of the sample analysis chip of the present invention.

Therefore, as in the sample analysis chip of FIG. 3, if the channel between the peaks is made chamber-like and the volume of the main channel from the main channel peak to the adjacent main channel peak is arbitrarily designed, it is equivalent. Since a sample of the volume can be sent to a well communicating from a valley portion sandwiched between both mountain portions, an arbitrary amount of solution can be set in each well.
- the volume of the well 102 is preferably 1 ⁇ l or more and 100 ⁇ l or less. If it is smaller than 1 ⁇ l, the centrifugal force does not work sufficiently, and liquid feeding to the well is difficult to perform, and if it is larger than 100 ⁇ l, the mixing property of the reagent is lowered and the uniformity of the temperature in the well is lowered. Such a phenomenon may occur.

- FIG. 3 shows still another embodiment of the sample analysis chip of the present invention.
- the sample analysis chip of FIG. 3 since the peaks of the main flow path 103 are inclined with respect to the center point direction, the areas on the left and right substrate planes of the main flow path are unevenly designed with respect to the side path 105. Yes.
- the right and left main channels with respect to the side channel 105 have a narrow channel width side and a wide channel side, and the side channel 105 serving as a connection port with the well is formed on the wide channel side.
- the air that has moved to the side path and the solution in the main channel are switched, the bubbles and the liquid are switched in a biased direction toward the main channel having a large area. For this reason, the residual liquid to a main channel can be reduced.
- the side channel and the main channel connected to each well are configured as described above, and the main channel is formed so that the narrow channel side and the wide channel side are alternately formed with the mountain portion as the boundary. Since the same phenomenon occurs in each chamber-like main flow path at the same time, the variation in the liquid distribution can be reduced.
- FIG. 4 is a plan view showing an embodiment of the sample analysis chip of the present invention.
- the chip of the present invention has a plurality of wells 102 on a substrate 101 and a flow path for sending a solution, for example, a liquid sample (solution) to the wells.

- the disk shape Since the sample analysis chip of the present invention distributes liquid to each well 102 by centrifugal force generated by rotating the chip, the disk shape has a point through which the rotation shaft penetrates (hereinafter, center point) at the center.
- center point a point through which the rotation shaft penetrates
- the well can be arranged so as to be concentric with the disk-shaped chip so that the center thereof is the rotation axis, and thus the space is efficient. It is important to apply a centrifugal force evenly to distribute wells to the wells, but the tip is designed so as to have rotational symmetry about the center point except for the area of INLET / OUTLET107. It can be easily realized.
- centrifugal force can be applied evenly if N wells are provided. Of course, this is not the case when the liquid distribution amount of each well is varied. Since the wells are arranged concentrically, all wells can be analyzed in one inspection region by rotating the substrate.
- the main channel 103 is formed closer to the center point than the well 102.
- the communication port between the main channel 103 and the well 102 has a width and a cross-sectional area that do not allow the solution to enter the well before the chip is rotated. Need to be.

Further, when the amount of waste liquid is sufficient in the capacity of the waste liquid chamber branch flow path portion, the waste liquid chamber 104b at the end of the waste liquid portion may not be provided.
- the centrifugal force applied to the solution causes the flow from the center point indicated by the dashed arrow to the outer flow path, that is, the branch flow path on the well side, so that the well 102 precedes the waste liquid chamber 104b. It is possible to fill each well with a solution sample without fail.

図1は本発明の試料分析チップの一様態を示した平面図である。本発明のチップは、基材101上に複数のウェル102と、ウェルに溶液、例えば液体試料(溶液)を送液するための流路を有している。流路は、各ウェルに送液するために、少なくとも各ウェルと連絡する一つの主流路103を有し、さらに主流路とウェルをつなぐ側路105を有する。流路には溶液を注入するための注入口を有する。図1の様態では、主流路の端部に注入口(INLET)及びもう一方の端部に空気の脱出口を兼ねた余剰溶液の出口(OUTLET)を有している。
図4は本発明の試料分析チップの一様態を示した平面図である。本発明のチップは、基材101上に複数のウェル102と、ウェルに溶液、例えば液体試料(溶液)を送液するための流路を有している。流路は、各ウェルに送液するために、少なくとも各ウェルと連絡する一つの主流路103を有し、さらに主流路とウェルをつなぐ側路105を有する。流路には溶液を注入するための注入口を有する。図4の様態では、主流路の端部に注入口(INLET)及びもう一方の端部に空気の脱出口を兼ねた余剰溶液の出口(OUTLET)を有している。
なお、下記の様態で説明していない第一の形態の試料分析チップの事項についても、第二の形態と矛盾しない限り、組み合わせて本発明の試料分析チップとすることができる。
本発明の試料分析チップはウェル及び流路(主流路及び側路を含む)を形成した第一の基材401に、第二の基材402を貼り合わせることで作製することができる。第一の基材及び第二の基材の少なくとも一方には試料分析装置の具備するチップ回転機構によってチップを回転させるための回転手段として、例えばチップ回転機構に固定するための担持部405を有する。また注入口及び空気の脱出口を兼ねた出口(INLET/OUTLET)のための貫通孔を第一の基材及び第二の基材の一方に、少なくとも一つ形成する。貫通孔は基材を貼り合わせたときに主流路の端部に一致する。以下では、説明の便宜上、蛍光反応等を検出、測定する際に測定する面に位置する基材側を「上側」、下側に位置する側を「下側」とする。
性、強度を確保でき、凹部の加工を確実に行うことができる。
なお、説明の便宜上、蛍光反応等を検出、測定する際に測定する面の側に位置する基材側を「上側」、下側に位置する側を「下側」とする。
ヒトゲノムの中には、その約0.1%に個人特有の塩基配列の違いが存在し、SNP(Single Nucleotide Polymorphism)と呼ばれおり、生殖細胞変異のひとつである。SNPの特定方法の一つとして、例えば蛍光を用いたPCR‐PHFA(PCR-Preferential Homoduplex Formation Assay)法が利用されている。PCR‐PHFA法は検出変異部位を増幅するPCR工程と、増幅断片と対応プローブによる競合的鎖置換反応工程から成り立っている。当該方法によれば、蛍光試薬の発光差によって変異を検出するが、本発明の試料分析チップを用いることで、各ウェルの配液バラツキが少ないため、正確なSNPs検出を行うことが出来る。また上記以外のSNP検出方法としてインベーダー法(登録商標)、Taqman PCR法等についても同様に本発明の試料分析チップを用いることが可能である。
上がん細胞に特徴的な変異、また分子標的薬に抵抗性を示す変異はそのほとんどが体細胞変異である.生殖細胞変異(SNPなど)の場合、どの細胞でも共通の変異が見られるのに対し、体細胞変異では変異を起こした細胞でのみ変異がみられ、変異を起こしていない細胞(通常は正常細胞)では変異は見られない.
