一种用于微流控芯片检测的小型荧光分析光学系统及方法A small fluorescence analysis optical system and method for microfluidic chip detection

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及生物免疫荧光分析的激光诱导荧光检测技术领域和微流控芯片体外诊断技术领域,具体涉及一种用于微流控芯片检测的小型荧光分析光学系统及方法。The invention relates to the technical field of laser-induced fluorescence detection of biological immunofluorescence analysis and the technical field of microfluidic chip in vitro diagnosis, in particular to a small fluorescence analysis optical system and method for microfluidic chip detection.

背景技术Background technique

疾病的早期诊断、治疗和疗效监测对人类的健康促进具有重要的意义。许多危重疾病的有效治疗取决于诊断的及时性和准确性。然而,传统检测方法如组织活检仍存在着如取样困难、无法实现早期检测、病人痛苦、取样频率低等局限性。体外诊断技术伴随着生物化学、免疫学、分子生物学等领域的发展,以及分子诊断和精准医疗的崛起,已在分子诊断和即时检测等应用中取得了令人瞩目的成绩。Early diagnosis, treatment and curative effect monitoring of diseases are of great significance to the promotion of human health. Effective treatment of many critical illnesses depends on the timeliness and accuracy of diagnosis. However, traditional detection methods such as tissue biopsy still have limitations such as difficulty in sampling, failure to achieve early detection, pain for patients, and low sampling frequency. With the development of biochemistry, immunology, molecular biology and other fields, as well as the rise of molecular diagnosis and precision medicine, in vitro diagnostic technology has made remarkable achievements in the application of molecular diagnosis and point-of-care detection.

免疫荧光分析的检测类型广泛,具有专一性强、灵敏度高、实用性好等优点,是目前体外诊断领域中常用的检测技术之一。免疫荧光分析常被用于测量含量很低的生物活性化合物,例如蛋白质(酶、接受体、抗体)、激素(甾族化合物、甲状腺激素、酞激素)、细胞及微生物等,适合在保持待测目标的生物活性下进行定性、定量分析。传统的免疫荧光分析系统具有精度高、高通量检测等优点,但是存在系统体积大、价格昂贵、操作复杂、试剂消耗大、检测耗时久等问题,难以做到快速实时检测。同时这类系统主要应用于医院、高校实验室、科研机构中,对实验环境、样品预处理、专业操作能力具有较高的要求,无法普及到日常使用中。Immunofluorescence analysis has a wide range of detection types, and has the advantages of strong specificity, high sensitivity, and good practicability. It is one of the commonly used detection techniques in the field of in vitro diagnostics. Immunofluorescence analysis is often used to measure biologically active compounds with very low levels, such as proteins (enzymes, receptors, antibodies), hormones (steroids, thyroid hormones, phthalotropic hormones), cells and microorganisms, etc. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the biological activity of the target. The traditional immunofluorescence analysis system has the advantages of high precision and high-throughput detection, but there are problems such as large system volume, high price, complicated operation, large reagent consumption, and long detection time, making it difficult to achieve rapid and real-time detection. At the same time, this type of system is mainly used in hospitals, university laboratories, and scientific research institutions. It has high requirements for experimental environment, sample pretreatment, and professional operation capabilities, and cannot be popularized for daily use.

随着微流控芯片技术的兴起,将生化实验平台建立在微流控芯片上,具有系统体积小、检测实时性高、综合成本较低、不依赖专业设备等优势,可广泛应用于临床监护、检验检疫、家庭保健等领域,其快速发展顺应了目前社会高效、快节奏的工作方式,满足了人们在时间上的需求,可使病人尽早得到有效的诊断和治疗。With the rise of microfluidic chip technology, the biochemical experiment platform is built on the microfluidic chip, which has the advantages of small system size, high real-time detection, low comprehensive cost, and does not rely on professional equipment, etc., and can be widely used in clinical monitoring , inspection and quarantine, family health care and other fields, its rapid development conforms to the efficient and fast-paced working methods of the current society, meets people's needs in terms of time, and enables patients to receive effective diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.

用于微流控芯片检测的小型免疫荧光分析系统的光路结构主要可分为四类,包括:共聚焦型、斜射型、正交型和平行型。相比于其他类型光学系统,斜射型光学系统具有光路结构简单、体积小、制造成本低等特点,更适用于小型便携式诊断仪器的研究。传统斜射型光学系统的光路原理如图1所示,光源发射的激发光首先由短波通滤光片滤光,并经过准直透镜聚光,以适当的入射角度照射微流控芯片的检测区域,检测区域上被荧光素标记的待测目标受激光激发产生荧光,经聚光透镜聚光,长波通滤光片滤除激发光与杂散光,最后由光电探测器收集。然而,斜射型光学系统也存在问题:该光学系统检测过程中易受到激发光和杂散光的影响,导致检测灵敏度较低。因此,有效降低背景噪声干扰,对提高光学系统的检测灵敏度尤为重要。The light path structure of the small immunofluorescence analysis system used for microfluidic chip detection can be mainly divided into four types, including: confocal type, oblique type, orthogonal type and parallel type. Compared with other types of optical systems, the oblique optical system has the characteristics of simple optical path structure, small size, and low manufacturing cost, and is more suitable for the research of small portable diagnostic instruments. The optical path principle of the traditional oblique optical system is shown in Figure 1. The excitation light emitted by the light source is first filtered by a short-pass filter, then condensed by a collimator lens, and irradiates the detection area of the microfluidic chip at an appropriate incident angle. , the target to be measured marked with fluorescein on the detection area is excited by the laser to generate fluorescence, which is collected by the condenser lens, and the excitation light and stray light are filtered out by the long-wave pass filter, and finally collected by the photodetector. However, there are also problems with the oblique optical system: the optical system is easily affected by excitation light and stray light during the detection process, resulting in low detection sensitivity. Therefore, it is particularly important to effectively reduce background noise interference to improve the detection sensitivity of the optical system.
