by adopting the structure of the imaging system, amplification and visual imaging can be carried out simultaneously, the time for detecting after amplification is saved, and potential pollution possibly brought by absorbing amplification products is avoided. Such as PCR-gel electrophoresis detection, requires additional electrophoresis detection of the PCR product, takes a long time, and has a risk of sample application errors or contamination. Real-time fluorescence PCR requires a complex data acquisition assembly, performs complex calculations on the emitted light, and has high instrument cost. The isothermal amplification technology adopted by the invention can be carried out at 38 ℃, the amplification condition can be observed at the same time, and a strong enough fluorescence image of a positive sample can be observed within about 30 minutes generally.
The principle of the invention is as follows:
(1) the fluorescence detection system comprises an excitation light source, an excitation filter, a collimating lens, a dichroic mirror, a sample placing window, an emission filter lens and a full-transparent window glass
(2) Excitation light source: the LED array is provided with a white light source, and the light intensity of the LED array can be adjusted by a controller. The size of the LED array can be selected based on the size of the sample being tested.
(3) The optical filter II in front of the LED array is an excitation optical filter: the desired excitation light filter is selected based on the excitation wavelength of the detected fluorescence, and the excitation light filter passes light of the particular wavelength of interest emitted by the LED array.
(4) A collimating lens: the exciting light is changed into parallel light (exciting light), and the intensity of the exciting light is uniform, and the device is composed of a plano-convex lens.
(5) A dichroic mirror: the exciting light is refracted and vertically irradiated on the sample, and simultaneously, the excited fluorescence of the sample is transmitted for detection or observation.
(6) The filter I below the window glass sheet is an emission filter, and the emission filter only passes through the emission wavelength after the fluorescent substance is excited, so that the interference of background light signals is reduced.
(7) Full transparent window glass sheet: over the bandpass filter, the optical elements in the protection system become contaminated.
(8) A temperature-controllable table: the reaction chip is fixed on the surface of a temperature table to control the problem of the sample on the chip. The controllable temperature table can be subjected to thermostatic control and programming control (temperature changes along with time) according to reaction needs.
(9) Array reaction chip: the reaction chip consists of three layers: the bottom layer and the middle layer are combined together to form a sample cell; the bottom layer is made of a material having excellent heat conductivity, such as glass or the like; the middle layer has good biocompatibility and can prevent the nonspecific adsorption of biological substances in a sample on the wall of the sample cell, such as polystyrene (PP), Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and the like after silanization treatment; the upper layer has excellent light transmission performance, and can tightly cover the sample cell to prevent the evaporation of the sample in the sample cell during the reaction process.
(10) An imaging device: the fluorescence detection device is used for detecting and imaging the excited fluorescence of the sample, further acquiring a fluorescence image of the sample and analyzing the fluorescence intensity. The fluorescence change of the sample can be analyzed by controlling the imaging device to carry out continuous timing shooting, and the device is composed of a CCD or COMS imaging device. The imaging device can also be replaced by human eyes, and the fluorescence state of the sample can be visually observed.
(11) Controlling the monitoring terminal: can be composed of a computer and a movable terminal computer. And specific control software is installed for controlling the system LED laser light source light intensity, the temperature of the temperature control table, the collection and analysis of a sample fluorescence image, the storage, management and transmission of result data and the like.
