A kind of preparation method of the microfluidic chip probe array for analyzing biochips
Technical field
The present invention relates to biochip, particularly relate to a kind of preparation method of the microfluidic chip probe array for analyzing biochips.
Background technology
Biochip is that a large amount of biomolecules or material (as nucleic acid fragment, protein, medicine or acceptor, cell or tissue etc.) are fixed on carrier surface according to the arrangement mode that designs in advance, with this as probe, carry out specific absorption or reaction with determinand in sample, realize the detection to sample message.Thousands of reaction is carried out on chip piece simultaneously, has the ability that large-scale parallel is analyzed.biochip is generally processed at sheet glass, silicon chip, on the solid support materials such as nylon membrane, the making method of probe array mainly contains point sample method (Schena M, Shalon D, Davis R W.et al.Science., 1995, 20:467-470) and in-situ synthesis (Fodor S P A, Read J L, Pirrung M C, et al.Science, 1991, 251:767-773), thereby the point sample method is with point sample instrument, probe points to be fixed at carrier surface again to react the probe mortise at carrier surface, the synthetic oligonucleotide that is mainly used in of original position, utilize polystep reaction, successively the deoxynucleoside acid mono is connected to the probe afterbody, realization is in the extension of carrier surface.These method and technologies requirements are high, tooling cost is high, manufacturing speed is slow, and all need more expensive precision instrument.
Micro-fluidic chip is to utilize various micro-processing technologies to process the microstructure with various functions on chip material (as other materials such as glass, PDMS or PMMA), the functions such as realization response, separation, detection are integrated into the function in laboratory on portable chip to greatest extent.From (Manz A such as early 1990s Manz and Widmer, Graber N, WidemerH M.Sens.Acturators, B, 1990, B1:244) since proposition first, the micro-fluidic chip technology has obtained fast development, expand to all directions from simple chemical analysis, comprise foranalysis of nucleic acids, protein analysis and cell analysis etc.Carry out analyzing biochips on micro-fluidic chip, can effectively strengthen detection signal, improve sensitivity, reduce reagent and sample consumption, shorten analysis time etc. (Chen H, Wang L, Li P C H.Lab Chip, 2008,8:826-829).Make probe array and mainly contain following 3 kinds of forms on micro-fluidic chip:
1) utilize point sample instrument to make highdensity probe array at a slice micro-fluidic chip material surface, and then form complete micro-fluidic chip with another chip block material, whole probe array is by complete being included in wider microchannel or hybridizing (Noerholm M in the chamber, Bruus H, Jakobsen M H, et al.Lab Chip, 2004,4:28-37).
2) use equally low-density probe array in the point sample instrument making, then form micro-fluidic chip, not necessarily all probes all are comprised in and passage, and probe is linear array (Wei C W along passage, Cheng J Y, Huang C T, et al.Nucleic Acids Res., 2005,33:1-11).
3) microchannel of the micro-fluidic chip of utilization energy reversible keying is at the probe array of carrier upper fixed line shape, then, the relative carrier of the passage of micro-fluidic chip is rotated rear conveying sample solution and probe array line generation hybridization (Wang L, Li P C H.J.Agric.Food Chem., 2007,55:10509-10516).Due to the probe non-refractory, therefore in these methods, micro-fluidic chip all can't carry out the high temperature bonding, has brought great difficulty for chip manufacturing, experimental implementation, the system integration and development of new applications; Need on the other hand manual microchannel and the probe array aimed at, a large amount of repetition probes must occur in probe array, be comprised in the microchannel to guarantee required probe, number and the density of probe are extremely restricted, and can't effectively utilize the surface of carrier.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to for the existing shortcoming of aforesaid method, a kind of preparation method of the microfluidic chip probe array for analyzing biochips is provided.
The present invention includes following steps:
1) solution is incorporated in the microchannel;
2) will contain the organic solvent that mineral oil or other do not dissolve each other with water, and the liquid storage tank of probe solution or small test tube are spaced as feed flow, by changing the feed flow of microchannel entrance, realize in the microchannel " organic solvent that organic solvent-probe solution that organic solvent-probe solution that mineral oil or other do not dissolve each other with water-mineral oil or other do not dissolve each other with water-mineral oil or other do not dissolve each other with water-... " sequence of droplets, the organic solvent that its mineral oil in fluid or other do not dissolve each other with water is as current-carrying, and probe solution is as the drop that flows in current-carrying;
3) moving behind the predetermined position in probe drop sequence flows, stop flowing, probe meeting in drop is spontaneous or be fixed to the microchannel internal surface by reaction or absorption under light, electricity, the extraneous initiation of magnetic, after fixation reaction is completed, discharge mineral oil and probe drop, then clean to complete whole step with damping fluid.
In step 1) in, described solution is incorporated in the microchannel, the microchannel entrance can be processed into the prong shape, or connect kapillary as entrance, be inserted in liquid storage tank or small test tube solution is incorporated in the microchannel by entrance; Described microchannel can be glass microchannel, quartzy microchannel, silicon micro-channel or superpolymer microchannel etc., described microchannel can be through reversible or irreversible bonding and forms complete microchannel, described microchannel internal surface can carry out surface treatment as required, and the size of described microchannel can be 1nm~5cm1; Described microchannel can be straight shape passage, spirally coiled passage, rectangular channel, spirality channel etc.; Described microchannel can be single passage, can be also many parallel channels.
In step 3) in, the motivating force that described liquid flows in the microchannel provides by electric field or by the syringe pump that is connected to channel outlet, gravity etc.; Described probe can be not only nucleic acid, can also be micromolecular compound, polypeptide, protein, antigen, polysaccharide, part, medicine, acceptor, cell or tissue etc.
The invention has the advantages that: in the situation that reagent consumption is few, can be simply and effectively at the microchannel of sealing processing probe array, and the density of the speed setting probe that can switch by feed flow, and reduction is to the dependence of expensive instrument, cut down finished cost low, accelerate manufacturing speed.
