Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of reversible packaging micro fluent chip for separating and purifying biological sample, be used for biological sample and separate purification, be specifically related to from various biological samples, extract biological samples such as DNA, RNA, protein or cell.
Background technology
Microfluid biochip is based on MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) (MEMS) processing technology, binding analysis chemistry and analytical biochemistry technology, with little raceway groove network is constitutional features, can finish multinomial functions such as sample pretreatment, single composition detection, pcr amplification and dna sequencing, can realize gene, part, antigen and active somatic cell etc. are carried out the purpose of test analysis, in biomedical and clinical diagnosis, have a wide range of applications.The microfluid biochip volume is little, has significantly reduced the consumption of reagent, has shortened the time of reaction, makes high-throughput, extensive, the real-time detection become possibility simultaneously.At present, the research to microfluid biochip mainly contains DNA cloning microfluid biochip, capillary electrophoresis biochip, dielectrophoresis cell separating chips etc.
At present, microfluid biochip adopts the bonding technology of silicon-glass to form the little raceway groove of permanent closure mostly, and the advantage of this technology is can leakage; Shortcoming is that permanent little raceway groove can not be dismantled repeatedly, therefore easy cleaning chip not, and chip is prone to blockage problem.
The separating and purifying technology of biomacromolecule or cell is the gordian technique of biochemical analysis, can directly obtain highly purified biomacromolecule or cell; And highly purified biomacromolecule or cell will directly influence the success of subsequent experimental, therefore seek quick, efficient, simple and easy, separating and purifying method is biochemical analysis worker's continuous pursuit always cheaply.At present, the method for Chang Gui separation and purification has: dialysis, micro-filtration, saltout and centrifugal etc.
Dialysis method is a kind of simple separation and purification method, only needs the sample of purifying to be separated is enclosed in the dialysis tubing of being made up of semi-permeable membranes, then sack is put into the dialyzate of low ionic strength and is dialysed.Have only the interior molecular weight of film can enter in the dialyzate through film, thereby realized that macromole separates with micromolecular less than the molecule of a certain molecular weight.Though this is a kind of simple method, but maximum shortcoming is consuming time, and use range is limited, is mainly used in salt or sample concentration in the elimination biomacromolecule sample.
The micro-filtration method is to be filtration medium with the porous membrane, allows sample solution pass through membrane filtering.Be mainly used in the filtering small-particle and make muddy liquid clarification, collect pure precipitation for analysis; Also can be used for collecting bacterial cell.The disadvantage of this method also is consuming time.
Salting-out process is to make protein slough hydration shell according to salt, and simultaneously the electrostatic double layer around the compressed protein matter molecule makes protein molecule assemble mutually and precipitate, thereby realizes proteinic separation and purification.This method is mainly used in proteinic separation and purifies, and different protein can select different salt to separate purification under the condition of suitable concentration and pH value.Shortcoming is that this method not only is subjected to Temperature Influence, and selects suitable salt, regulates the way more complicated of suitable concn and pH value, and the shortcoming of maximum to be the protein of separation and Extraction also will carry out the desalination step mostly.
Centrifuging is to utilize the character that have nothing in common with each other such as the quality of variable grain, density, size and shape, and settled speed is also inequality in same fixed centrifugal field, therefore obtains mutual separation.It is one of protein, enzyme, nucleic acid and the isolating the most frequently used method of cell subfraction.But also have very big deficiency, for example high speed centrifugation may destroy the structure of some biomacromolecule.In order to reach best separating effect, adopt some special solution to carry out centrifugal mostly, for example adopt phenol and chloroform extraction DNA, though this method is applicable to most of biological specimens, but bring pollutent easily in operation steps complexity, extraction efficiency instability, the centrifugal process, and phenol, chloroform all have volatilization toxicity, life-time service serious harm HUMAN HEALTH.In addition, can also in centrifuge tube, add granulated glass sphere, rely on centrifugation simultaneously and separate purification DNA with the adsorption of granulated glass sphere surface electrostatic with DNA, its advantage is to remove most of impurity, more suitable to polluting biological specimen, but because the granulated glass sphere specific surface area is little, extraction efficiency is lower, and the experimentation needs are repeatedly centrifugal, complex steps.
This laboratory is to the existing preliminary research of microchip Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE method) purification technique, the SPE method is to utilize the surface of some solid matters, as silicon chip, glass, ion exchange resin or material surfaces such as magnetic bead through modifying, as carrier specificity absorption biomacromolecule, adopt centrifuging to separate purification then; Microchip SPE method is meant the microstructure utilized in the chip carrier as Solid-Phase Extraction, and whole separation purification process is finished in chip.But conventional SPE method is mostly because the restriction of the specific area of solid phase carrier makes extraction efficiency limited.
