Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及微流控领域以及化工、生物制药技术领域,尤其涉及基于集成微通道的单/多组份液滴制备装置及其控制方法。The invention relates to the field of microfluidics and the technical fields of chemical industry and biopharmaceuticals, in particular to a single/multi-component droplet preparation device based on an integrated microchannel and a control method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
液滴在药物颗粒制备、医学检测分析以及精细化工等领域得到了广泛的应用。目前制备液滴的方法主要有微流控制备法、喷雾法以及毛细管液滴控制方法等。其中,微流控方法利用微通道结构内的一些特殊流体流动机制制备液滴,其产生的液滴尺寸均匀度高,可控性强,与其他方法相比具有显著的优越性。Liquid droplets have been widely used in the fields of drug particle preparation, medical detection and analysis, and fine chemical industry. At present, the methods for preparing droplets mainly include microfluidic preparation method, spray method and capillary droplet control method. Among them, the microfluidic method uses some special fluid flow mechanisms in the microchannel structure to prepare droplets. The droplets produced by it have high uniformity in size and strong controllability, which has significant advantages compared with other methods.
利用微流控制备液滴的方法主要包括T型通道法、流体聚焦法和阶梯式乳化法(step emulsification)等。其中,阶梯式乳化法具有单分散性好、能量消耗低以及生产频率易调等特点,在实际生产中优势尤为明显。然而,通过光刻等加工方法制造阶梯式乳化所需的微通道设备的生产周期长,成本较高,不利于实际工业化生产。此外,大批量制备含有多组分的液滴也是国内外长期以来的一个技术难题。实现单组份或多组分液滴的高效大通量且低成本的生产,无疑对于化工和生物制药等相关领域具有重要意义。The methods for preparing droplets by microfluidics mainly include T-channel method, fluid focusing method and step emulsification method. Among them, the step emulsification method has the characteristics of good monodispersity, low energy consumption and easy adjustment of production frequency, and its advantages are particularly obvious in actual production. However, the production cycle and high cost of the microchannel equipment required to manufacture stepped emulsification by photolithography and other processing methods are not conducive to actual industrial production. In addition, the large-scale preparation of droplets containing multiple components is also a long-standing technical problem at home and abroad. Realizing the high-efficiency, high-throughput and low-cost production of single-component or multi-component droplets is undoubtedly of great significance to related fields such as chemical industry and biopharmaceuticals.

An appropriate amount of surfactant can be added to the continuous phase or the discrete phase. The density of the discrete phase is greater than that of the continuous phase. When preparing multi-component droplets, the continuous phase and multiple discrete phases can be selected according to the needs. Both the continuous phase and the discrete phases are immiscible, but the discrete phases are mutually soluble.

一种基于集成微通道的单组份液滴制备装置的控制方法,具体包括以下步骤:A method for controlling a single-component droplet preparation device based on an integrated microchannel, specifically comprising the following steps:
在注射泵1中装入离散相,在连续相容器8中装入连续相,启动注射泵,注射泵推动离散相运动,根据所需的制备速率确定注射泵的流量Q1;当流量超过临界值时,会导致液滴产生机制发生转变,使得液滴尺寸迅速增大;该转变过程由毛细管数Ca1=ηU/γ决定,其中η为离散相的粘度,U为离散相流速,γ为离散相与连续相之间的表面张力;由于临界毛细管数在0.04至0.06之间,为确保不会因为流量过大而发生机制性转变,取毛细管数小于等于0.04,即Ca1≤0.04,则流量满足Q1≤0.01nγπd2/η,其中,n为微通道塑料薄膜7中实际使用的通道数量,d为微通道塑料薄膜7中微通道的直径;离散相在离散相出口接头6处发生台阶式乳化,从而生产单组份液滴。The discrete phase is loaded into the syringe pump 1, the continuous phase is loaded into the continuous phase container 8, the syringe pump is started, and the syringe pump promotes the movement of the discrete phase, and the flow Q1 of the syringe pump is determined according to the required preparation rate; when the flow exceeds the critical When the value is higher, the droplet generation mechanism will change, and the droplet size will increase rapidly; the transformation process is determined by the capillary number Ca 1 =ηU/γ, where η is the viscosity of the discrete phase, U is the flow rate of the discrete phase, and γ is The surface tension between the discrete phase and the continuous phase; since the critical capillary number is between 0.04 and 0.06, in order to ensure that the mechanistic transition will not occur due to excessive flow, the capillary number is set to be less than or equal to 0.04, that is, Ca 1 ≤0.04, then The flow rate satisfies Q 1 ≤ 0.01nγπd 2 /η, wherein, n is the number of channels actually used in the microchannel plastic film 7, and d is the diameter of the microchannel in the microchannel plastic film 7; the discrete phase occurs at the discrete phase outlet joint 6 Stepwise emulsification to produce single-component droplets.
一种基于集成微通道的多组份液滴制备装置的控制方法,具体包括以下步骤:A method for controlling a multi-component droplet preparation device based on an integrated microchannel, specifically comprising the following steps:
在注射泵1中装入离散相,在连续相容器8中装入连续相,启动所有注射泵,注射泵推动离散相运动,根据所需的制备速率确定各个注射泵的流量Q,各个注射泵的流量相等;当流量超过临界值时,会导致液滴产生机制发生转变,使得液滴尺寸迅速增大;该转变过程由毛细管数Ca2=ηaU2/γa决定,其中ηa为不同离散相的粘度的平均值,U2为离散相流速,γa为不同离散相与连续相之间的表面张力的平均值;由于临界毛细管数在0.04至0.06之间,为确保不会因为流量过大而发生机制性转变,取毛细管数小于等于0.04,即Ca2≤0.04,则流量满足Q≤0.01nγaπd2/1.4N-1ηaN,其中,N为大于等于2的正整数;离散相在离散相出口接头6处发生台阶式乳化,从而生产多组分液滴。Load the discrete phase into the syringe pump 1, load the continuous phase into the continuous phase container 8, start all the syringe pumps, the syringe pumps push the discrete phase to move, determine the flow rate Q of each syringe pump according to the required preparation rate, each syringe pump The flow rate is equal; when the flow rate exceeds the critical value, the droplet generation mechanism will be transformed, so that the droplet size will increase rapidly; the transformation process is determined by the capillary number Ca 2 =η a U 2 /γ a , where η a is The average value of the viscosity of different discrete phases, U 2 is the flow rate of the discrete phase, γ a is the average value of the surface tension between the different discrete phases and the continuous phase; since the critical capillary number is between 0.04 and 0.06, in order to ensure that it will not be caused by If the flow rate is too large and the mechanism changes, if the capillary number is less than or equal to 0.04, that is, Ca 2 ≤0.04, then the flow rate satisfies Q≤0.01nγ a πd 2 /1.4 N-1 η a N, where N is a positive value greater than or equal to 2 Integer; the discrete phase undergoes stepwise emulsification at the discrete phase outlet junction 6, producing multicomponent droplets.
利用本发明所述装置制备液滴的过程如下:注射泵1推动离散相运动,离散相进入离散相入口接头2,然后通过毛细管5进入微通道塑料塑料薄膜7的微通道中。离散相从微通道塑料薄膜7中的微通道进入离散相出口接头6后发生台阶式乳化,其原理为:离散相在出口接头中按圆形进行膨胀,根据表面张力理论,其内部的Laplace压力为其中r1为圆形的半径。由于h远小于r1,所以当离散相前端离开离散相出口接头进入连续相时,离散相脱离夹板9的约束,开始进行球形膨胀,其Laplace压力为其中r2为球形的半径。当r2增大到一定程度后,P1远大于P2,在这个压力差下,离散相出口接头中的离散相流体迅速进入连续相容器中,从而断裂形成液滴。在多组分液滴制备过程中,相邻的N条微通道中的不同离散相在进入离散相出口接头6后会发生融合,然后再通过台阶式乳化形成多组分液滴。The process of preparing liquid droplets using the device of the present invention is as follows: the syringe pump 1 pushes the discrete phase to move, the discrete phase enters the discrete phase inlet joint 2, and then enters the microchannel of the microchannel plastic film 7 through the capillary 5. Step-type emulsification occurs after the discrete phase enters the discrete phase outlet joint 6 from the microchannel in the microchannel plastic film 7. The principle is that the discrete phase expands circularly in the outlet joint. According to the surface tension theory, the Laplace pressure inside it for where r1 is the radius of the circle. Since h is much smaller than r 1 , so When the front end of the discrete phase leaves the outlet joint of the discrete phase and enters the continuous phase, the discrete phase breaks away from the constraints of the splint 9 and begins to expand spherically, and its Laplace pressure is where r2 is the radius of the sphere. When r 2 increases to a certain extent, P 1 is much larger than P 2 , under this pressure difference, the discrete phase fluid in the discrete phase outlet joint quickly enters the continuous phase container, thereby breaking and forming droplets. During the preparation of multi-component droplets, different discrete phases in adjacent N microchannels will fuse after entering the discrete-phase outlet joint 6, and then form multi-component droplets through step emulsification.
液滴直径的测量方法如下:对液滴产生的过程进行拍照,用图像处理软件根据实际部件的尺寸确定图片的比例,然后根据比例测量出液滴的直径。The method of measuring the droplet diameter is as follows: take pictures of the process of droplet generation, use image processing software to determine the proportion of the picture according to the size of the actual component, and then measure the diameter of the droplet according to the proportion.

The obtained droplet size is shown in FIG. 11 . It can be seen that when the flow rate increases to 42mL/hr, a mechanistic transition occurs, and the droplet size increases rapidly. The capillary number Ca at this time was 0.03. The total flow rate of the two discrete phases suggested in the present invention should be less than 0.01Nγ a πd 2 /1.4η a , and the calculated critical flow rate is 41mL/hr, so the droplet formation mechanism will not change within the proposed range of the present invention.
