Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is further explained by combining the attached drawings and the embodiment. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting of the invention. It should be further noted that, for the convenience of description, only some but not all of the elements associated with the present invention are shown in the drawings.
Example one
The embodiment provides a centrifugal disc formula micro-fluidic chip based on immunochemiluminescence reaction, shifts the module including chip body and magnetic bead, set up a plurality of centrifugal units on the chip body, centrifugal unit contains different fluid cavity, contain reactant, magnetic bead and organic reagent in the fluid cavity, the magnetic bead can remove between different fluid cavity, organic reagent is used for reducing reactant's viscosity and interfacial tension, and the magnetic bead of being convenient for removes to other fluid cavity after separating with reactant, the magnetic bead shifts the module and is used for providing magnetism drive power so that the magnetic bead shifts to in the different fluid cavity.
Specifically, each centrifugal unit can complete one detection index, and therefore joint detection of multiple indexes can be completed according to the setting and combination of the centrifugal units. In some examples of the present invention, the number of the centrifugal units is 1 to 100, in some examples of the present invention, the number of the centrifugal units is 1 to 80, in some examples of the present invention, the number of the centrifugal units is 1 to 60, in some examples of the present invention, the number of the centrifugal units is 1 to 50, in some examples of the present invention, the number of the centrifugal units is 1 to 30, in some examples of the present invention, the number of the centrifugal units is 1 to 20, and in some examples of the present invention, the number of the centrifugal units is 1 to 16. The number of the centrifugal units can be set according to specific needs, and is not limited by the invention. In this embodiment, the number of the centrifugal units is 4.
Specifically, the concentration of the organic reagent is 15-50% by volume fraction. The effect of reducing the solution viscous resistance and the solution interfacial tension is not obvious and the effect of mediating the magnetic bead transfer cannot be achieved due to the fact that the organic solvent is too low; too high an organic solvent may increase the risk of denaturing the enzyme and/or antibody (antigen) used in the immunochemical luminescent reaction system, and it is therefore necessary to select the appropriate type of organic solvent while ensuring a reasonable concentration of the organic solvent used.
Specifically, the organic reagent is isopropanol and n-propanol. In the invention, the organic reagent is added into the reaction reagent, and the organic reagent can reduce the interfacial tension of the reaction reagent solution, namely, the resistance generated by the reaction reagent during the magnetic bead transfer can be reduced to increase the possibility of smooth magnetic bead transfer.
In the present invention, the reagent is a liquid reagent that needs to participate in the immunochemiluminescence reaction process, and includes reagent solutions such as antigens and antibodies that directly participate in the reaction, and reagent solutions such as washing reagents that are not directly involved in the reaction and are used only for washing. In the immunochemiluminescence detection, according to the specific reaction or the difference of the object to be detected, a suitable reagent can be selected to participate in the reaction to obtain the detection result, for example, a suitable enzyme-labeled antibody, a suitable biotinylated antibody and the like are selected, and it can be seen that the reagent based on the immunochemiluminescence reaction contains a protein reagent.
The purpose of adding the organic reagent in the invention is not to participate in the immunochemiluminescence reaction process, but only to change the viscosity and interfacial tension of the reaction reagent to ensure the smooth transfer of magnetic beads, while in the conventional cognition, the organic solvent is easy to cause protein modification, so that the addition of the organic reagent in an immunochemiluminescence reaction system is reduced or avoided.
In some examples of the invention, the principle of magnetic bead-based sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction is as follows: the biotinylated antibody coated paramagnetic beads recognize and bind to a specific antigen in the sample solution after mixing with the sample solution. Separating the magnetic beads coated with the biotinylated antibody and combined with the antigen from the sample solution, and adding an enzyme-labeled antibody solution into the sample solution to ensure that the enzyme-labeled antibody is combined with the antigen, thereby forming a double-antibody sandwich structure. And then separating the magnetic beads coated with the biotinylated antibody and combined with the antigen and the enzyme-labeled antibody from the enzyme-labeled antibody solution, washing, mixing with a luminescent substrate solution, and generating a chemiluminescent reaction and an optical signal. The generated optical signal can be detected by an optical detection device, and the strength of the optical signal is positively correlated with the concentration of the antigen in the sample solution. The concentration of the substance to be detected in the sample solution can be obtained through the detected optical signal.
It will be appreciated that the magnetic bead-based sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction can be performed in a single step or in two steps. In some examples of the present invention, in order to simplify the structure of the centrifugal disk type microfluidic chip and facilitate the processing, the magnetic bead-based sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction is performed based on a one-step method.

Specifically, the centrifugal disk type microfluidic chip further comprises an optical detection module and a temperature control module (not shown), wherein the optical detection module is used for detecting and collecting optical signals after chemiluminescence reaction; the temperature control module is used for controlling the temperature in the chemiluminescence reaction process.
The application method of the centrifugal disc type microfluidic chip based on the immunochemiluminescence reaction comprises the following steps:
s1: the reaction mixture and the magnetic beads enter the sample reaction chamber 36 for reaction;
s2: the organic reagent enters the sample reaction chamber 36 to be mixed with the reaction mixed liquid, the washing liquid and the organic reagent enter the washing chamber 37 to be washing mixed liquid, and the luminous substrate liquid enters the chemiluminescence reaction chamber 38;
s3: under the driving of the magnetic bead transfer module, the reacted magnetic beads are transferred from the sample reaction chamber 36 to the washing chamber 37 and are fully washed;

s5: the optical detection module detects and collects the optical signals to obtain a detection result.
More specifically, in the use process, the magnetic beads coated with the biotinylated antibody are mixed with the sample solution and the enzyme-labeled antibody (i.e., reaction mixture) and immediately added to the sample inlet chamber 33 of the chip body 1. The reaction mixture flows into the sample reaction chamber 36 driven by centrifugal force. Subsequently, the centrifugal device is alternately rotated clockwise and counterclockwise at a specific rotation speed so that the antigen in the mixed solution reacts with the antibody for a certain period of time at a suitable temperature. The centrifuge stops rotating, an appropriate amount of organic solvent is added to the sample inlet chamber 33, and the centrifuge is then operated again to allow the organic solvent to mix uniformly with the reaction mixture. The centrifuge stops rotating and the magnetic bead transfer module is activated so that the biotinylated antibody-coated magnetic beads, which have bound the antigen and the enzyme-labeled antibody, are transferred to the washing chamber 37 under the drive of the magnetic force applied by the permanent magnet. The washing chamber 37 contains a proper amount of a mixed solution of a washing buffer and an organic solvent (referred to as a washing mixed solution), and the mixed solution flows into the washing chamber 37 along a fluid path from the washing buffer inlet chamber 34 by a centrifugal force. After the centrifuge apparatus is rotated alternately clockwise and counterclockwise at a specific rotation speed for a period of time, the magnetic beads are washed sufficiently, and then the magnetic bead transfer module is activated to transfer the magnetic beads to the chemiluminescent reaction chamber 38 containing the luminescent substrate solution flowing from the luminescent substrate inlet chamber 35 into the chemiluminescent reaction chamber 38. At this time, the luminescent substrate undergoes a chemical reaction catalyzed by the enzyme to generate an optical signal. By collecting the optical signal at a specific time point, the antigen concentration in the sample solution can be analyzed.
In the present invention, the amount of paramagnetic beads used is very small, and the magnetism exhibited by the magnetization of the permanent magnet is weak. Therefore, transferring magnetic beads from one fluid chamber to another is difficult to achieve with a permanent magnet such as rubidium, iron, and boron directly. The invention mediates the magnetic bead transfer by using an organic solvent to reduce the interfacial tension of the solution, because the organic solvent, especially the organic solvent which is miscible with water (such as isopropanol or n-propanol), can reduce the interfacial tension of the solution. Therefore, when the magnetic beads are transferred from the reaction mixture or the washing mixture containing the organic solvent by using the permanent magnet, the magnetic force of the permanent magnet on the magnetic beads overcomes the viscous resistance and the interfacial tension of the reaction mixture or the washing mixture, so that the magnetic beads can be smoothly transferred.
Although organic solvents can reduce the interfacial tension of aqueous solutions, organic solvents also risk denaturing the antibody or antigen. Therefore, it is extremely critical to select the appropriate organic solvent and the amount of organic solvent used. This may in practice need to be selected according to the particular bioreagent system. In the present invention, the organic solvent does not adversely affect the whole sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction reagent system within the concentration range used for the sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction reagent system based on magnetic beads used in the present invention.
Example two
In order to show that the addition of an organic reagent is beneficial to the transfer of magnetic beads, the following experiment was performed using a centrifugal disk microfluidic chip based on immunochemiluminescence reaction as shown in example one.
After 70. mu.L of a magnetic bead dispersion (0.2857mg/mL) of magnetic beads to which biotinylated antibodies are bound, 70. mu.L of a commercial alkaline phosphatase-labeled antibody solution (6. mu.g/mL) diluted with an enzyme-labeled diluent, and 10. mu.L of a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) solution (1000ng/mL) are mixed in a centrifuge tube (reaction mixture for short), the mixture is immediately added into the sample inlet chamber 33 from the sample inlet 43 of the chip body 1. The chip body 1 is fixed in a rotating shaft of centrifugal equipment through a central hole on the chip body 1, and corresponding working parameters of the centrifugal equipment are set. The centrifuge is activated and the reaction mixture is driven by centrifugal force to flow into sample reaction chamber 36. Then, the centrifugal device is rotated alternately clockwise and counterclockwise at a specific rotation speed, so that the reaction mixture is reacted for 10min under the condition of oscillation. The centrifuge stops rotating and 150. mu.L of an aqueous solution containing 50% (v: v) isopropanol is added to the sample inlet chamber 33 from the sample inlet 43. To the wash buffer inlet chamber 34 was added 300. mu.L of a wash mixture of wash buffer (10mM 7.2PBS containing 0.05% TW-20) and isopropanol 4:1(v: v) from the wash buffer inlet 44 and to the luminogenic substrate inlet chamber 35 was added 230. mu.L of a commercially available luminogenic substrate solution whose major component was 3- (2-spiroadamantane) -4-methoxy-4- (3-phosphonooxy) -phenyl-1, 2-dioxetane disodium salt (AMPPD) from the luminogenic substrate inlet 45. Then the centrifugal equipment is operated again, so that the isopropanol enters the sample reaction chamber 36 and can be uniformly mixed with the reaction mixed liquid; at the same time, the washing mixture and the luminescent substrate solution enter the washing chamber 37 and the chemiluminescent reaction chamber 38, respectively. And stopping the rotation of the centrifugal equipment, and immediately starting the magnetic bead transfer module on the centrifugal equipment to transfer the magnetic beads. It was finally observed that the magnetic beads coated with the biotinylated antibody, to which the antigen and the alkaline phosphatase-labeled antibody were bonded, were smoothly transferred to the washing chamber 37 by the magnetic force applied by the permanent magnet. And then, operating a centrifugal device to enable the centrifugal disc type microfluidic chip to rotate clockwise and anticlockwise for 3min alternately, and washing the magnetic beads. The rotation of the centrifuge was stopped and the magnetic beads were then transferred in the same manner as described above. It is also observed that magnetic beads can be transferred from the washing chamber 37 to the chemiluminescent reaction chamber 38 containing the luminescent substrate solution.
Comparative example 1
In this comparative example, the apparatus, operation and reagents were the same as those in example two except that in this comparative example, isopropanol was not added to the reaction mixture and the washing mixture, but the same volume of washing buffer was added. However, during the experiment, the magnetic beads cannot be transferred from the sample reaction chamber 36, and thus the transfer from the washing chamber 37 to the chemiluminescence reaction chamber 38 cannot be continued.
Experiments of example two and comparative example one show that the sandwich immunochemiluminometric reagent system with isopropanol is more beneficial to magnetic bead transfer under the condition of using the same amount of magnetic beads and the same permanent magnet. This is because the organic solvent isopropanol is miscible with the aqueous solution to form a homogeneous solution after being added to the aqueous solution and shaken, thereby reducing the viscous resistance and interfacial tension of the aqueous solution.
EXAMPLE III
In order to verify whether isopropanol adversely affects the magnetic bead-based sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system, in this embodiment, after the magnetic bead-based sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction performed in the centrifugal disk microfluidic is completed, the reaction solution is taken out from the chemiluminescent reaction chamber 38, and then signal detection is performed on a microplate reader. Fig. 5 shows a chip body 1 used in this embodiment, which is different from the first embodiment in that the top plate layer 4 is slightly different, and the rest is the same.
The top plate layer 4 of the chip body 1 of the present embodiment is shown in fig. 6. The top plate layer 4 differs from the first embodiment in that it further comprises a sampling hole 47. The sampling hole 47 is positioned at the upper right side of the chemiluminescence reaction chamber 38 and is sealed by a film containing a pressure-sensitive adhesive in the sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction process, and the sampling hole 47 is used for taking out a reaction solution from the chemiluminescence reaction chamber 38 after the reaction of the sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction based on magnetic beads in centrifugal disk type microfluidic is finished, and then carrying out signal detection on a microplate reader.
Before sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction based on magnetic beads is carried out in the chip body 1, paramagnetic magnetic beads need to be carried out in a centrifugal tubeBlocking treatment and treatment with a biotinylated antibody. Paramagnetic beads were first incubated for 2h at 37 ℃ in blocking solution (10mM 7.2PBS buffer containing 1% BSA, 0.05% TW-20) and then magnetically attracted using a permanent magnet to remove the supernatant. Next, the beads were washed with a diluted solution of biotinylated antibody (10mM 7.2PBS buffer containing 0.1% BSA, 0.05% TW20, 0.05% PC300), magnetically attracted, and the supernatant removed, and repeated 3 times. The commercial biotinylated antibody is diluted by biotinylated antibody diluent, then mixed with the closed magnetic beads uniformly, and then incubated at 37 ℃ for 10 min. After completion of the reaction, the supernatant was removed by magnetic attraction using a permanent magnet, and then an enzyme-labeled diluent (20mM 7.2PBS buffer containing 5mM MgCl)2、0.1mM ZnCl20.1% BSA, 0.05% TW-20, 0.05% PC300) on the magnetic beads to which the biotinylated antibody was bound, 1 time. Finally, an enzyme-labeled diluent is used to prepare a magnetic bead dispersion of magnetic beads combined with biotinylated antibodies, so that the concentration of the magnetic bead dispersion is 0.5714 mg/mL. The magnetic beads combined with the biotinylated antibody can be stored for at least 1 month under proper conditions, and the quantity of the magnetic beads used in the centrifugal disc type microfluidic chip is small, so that more magnetic beads can be processed at one time for storage and standby when the magnetic beads are subjected to sealing treatment and combined with the biotinylated antibody for convenience of operation.
After 70. mu.L of the magnetic bead dispersion of the magnetic beads to which the biotinylated antibody is bound, 70. mu.L of a commercial alkaline phosphatase-labeled antibody solution (6. mu.g/mL) diluted with an enzyme-labeled diluent, and 10. mu.L of a carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) solution (1000ng/mL) are mixed in a centrifuge tube (reaction mixture for short), the mixture is immediately added into the sample inlet chamber 33 from the sample inlet 43 of the chip body 1. The chip body 1 is fixed in a rotating shaft of centrifugal equipment through a central hole on the chip body 1, and corresponding working parameters of the centrifugal equipment are set. The centrifuge is activated and the reaction mixture is driven by centrifugal force to flow into sample reaction chamber 36. Then, the centrifugal device is rotated alternately clockwise and counterclockwise at a specific rotation speed, so that the reaction mixture is reacted for 10min under the condition of oscillation. The centrifuge stops rotating and 150. mu.L of an aqueous solution containing 50% (v: v) isopropanol is added to the sample inlet chamber 33 from the sample inlet 43, 300. mu.L of a wash mixture of wash buffer (10mM 7.2PBS containing 0.05% TW-20) and isopropanol 4:1(v: v) is added to the wash buffer inlet chamber 34 from the wash buffer inlet 44, and 230. mu.L of a commercial AMPPD luminescence substrate solution is added to the luminescence substrate inlet chamber 35 from the luminescence substrate inlet 45. Then, the centrifugal equipment is operated again, so that the isopropanol enters the sample reaction chamber 36 and can be uniformly mixed with the reaction mixed solution; at the same time, the washing mixture and the luminescent substrate solution enter the washing chamber 37 and the chemiluminescent reaction chamber 38, respectively. The centrifuge stops rotating and the magnetic bead transfer module on the centrifuge is immediately activated so that the biotinylated antibody-coated magnetic beads, which have bound the antigen and the alkaline phosphatase-labeled antibody, are transferred to the washing chamber 37 under the drive of the magnetic force applied by the permanent magnet. And then, operating a centrifugal device to enable the centrifugal disc type microfluidic chip to rotate clockwise and anticlockwise for 3min alternately, and washing the magnetic beads. The rotation of the centrifuge is stopped and the beads are transferred to the chemiluminescent reaction chamber 38 containing the luminescent substrate solution in the same manner as described above. Next, the centrifuge apparatus was operated to rotate the centrifugal disk type microfluidic chip alternately clockwise and counterclockwise for 1min, then the sealing film above the sampling hole 47 was pierced with a micrometer needle, and then 200. mu.L of the reaction solution was taken out of the chemiluminescent reaction chamber 38 into a 96-well plate and the luminescence intensity at 10min was measured on a microplate reader (Molecular Devices, USA, model: SpectraMax. O R i 3X).
Comparative example No. two
In this comparative example, the apparatus, operation and reagents were the same as those in example three except that in this comparative example, isopropanol was not added to the reaction mixture and the washing mixture, but the same volume of washing buffer was added. Since it is necessary to ensure that the magnetic beads in the control experiment group can be smoothly transferred in order to verify whether isopropanol has an effect on the sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system based on the magnetic beads, the amount of the magnetic beads used in the present comparative example was 40. mu.g.
The results of the tests of example three and comparative example two show that the isopropanol test group in example three has a luminous intensity of 3110134, the control test group in comparative example has a luminous intensity of 2961999, and the difference of the chemiluminescence signals is less than 10%. This is an acceptable deviation. Therefore, it is shown that the addition of isopropanol to a magnetic bead-based sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system in a centrifugal disk microfluidic chip does not significantly adversely affect the sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system, such as inactivation or activity reduction of antigen and/or antibody, insufficient washing of magnetic beads.
Example four:
this example was conducted to examine whether n-propanol adversely affects the magnetic bead-based sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system used.
In this example, the apparatus, operation, and reagents were the same as in example three except that in this comparative example, the organic solvent added to the reaction mixture and the washing mixture was not isopropyl alcohol, but n-propyl alcohol in the same amount.
Comparative example No. three
In this comparative example, the apparatus, operation and reagents were the same as those in example four except that in this comparative example, the same volume of washing buffer was added to the reaction mixture and the washing mixture, instead of n-propanol. Since it is necessary to ensure that the magnetic beads in the control experiment group can be smoothly transferred in order to verify whether n-propanol has an effect on the sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system based on the magnetic beads, the amount of the magnetic beads used in the present comparative example was 40. mu.g.
The test results of example four and comparative example three show that the n-propanol test group in example four has a luminous intensity of 2914671, the control test group in comparative example three has a luminous intensity of 2961999, and the difference of the chemiluminescence signals is less than 10%. This is an acceptable deviation. Therefore, it is shown that the addition of n-propanol to a magnetic bead-based sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system in a centrifugal disk microfluidic chip does not significantly adversely affect the sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system, such as inactivation or activity reduction of antigen and/or antibody, insufficient washing of magnetic beads.
Example five:
in order to examine the linear variation trend of the luminescence intensity of a sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system based on magnetic beads when the system detects different CEA concentrations after isopropanol is added into the system, CEA solutions with different concentrations are respectively detected in the embodiment. In this example, the apparatus, operation and reagents were the same as those in example three except that the CEA solution was used at concentrations of 7.8125ng/mL, 31.25ng/mL, 125ng/mL, 250ng/mL and 500ng/mL, respectively. Finally, the linear relationship between the different antigen concentrations and the luminescence intensity is shown in FIG. 7. Within the range of the concentration gradient, the linear correlation coefficient R2Was 0.985. This demonstrates that not only does the addition of isopropanol to the above described magnetic bead-based sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system not significantly adversely affect the reaction system, but also the relatively broad range of antigen concentrations as low as 7.8125ng/mL and as high as 500ng/mL still maintains a good linear dependence.
Example six:
in order to examine the linear variation trend of the luminescence intensity of a sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system based on magnetic beads when the system detects different CEA concentrations after adding n-propanol, CEA solutions with different concentrations are respectively detected in the embodiment. In this example, the apparatus, operation and reagents were the same as those in example three except that the CEA solution was used at concentrations of 7.8125ng/mL, 31.25ng/mL, 125ng/mL, 250ng/mL and 500ng/mL, respectively. Finally, the linear relationship between the different antigen concentrations and the luminescence intensity is shown in FIG. 8. Indicating a linear correlation coefficient R within the concentration gradient range2Is 0.998. This demonstrates that not only does the addition of isopropanol to the above described magnetic bead-based sandwich immunochemiluminescence reaction system not significantly adversely affect the reaction system, but also the relatively broad range of antigen concentrations as low as 7.8125ng/mL and as high as 500ng/mL still maintains a good linear dependence.
