Description

Oil seal device for digital PCR chip
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of oil sealing of nucleic acid amplification instruments, in particular to an oil sealing device for a digital PCR chip.
Background
The use of DNA molecular amplification technology has prompted the development of molecular biology techniques, and accurate quantification of DNA copy number is one of the important applications of modern molecular biology and medicine. In 1997, james F.brown, jonathan E.silver and Olga V.kalina constructed a prototype of the digital PCR (digital polymerase chain reaction, dPCR) technique and obtained U.S. Pat. No. US 6143496A. Different from the traditional PCR technology, the digital PCR sufficiently dilutes the nucleic acid samples, so that the number of sample templates of each reaction chamber is less than or equal to 1, and the fluorescent signals of each reaction chamber are subjected to statistical analysis after the PCR amplification is finished, so that a series of problems in the relative quantitative process of real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (real time quantitative PCR, qPCR) by using a reference standard sample and a standard curve are solved, and absolute quantification of single-molecule DNA is realized. The technology has high sensitivity, strong specificity, high detection flux and accurate quantification, and has been widely applied to the aspects of clinical diagnosis, transgene component quantification, single cell gene expression, environmental microorganism detection, next generation sequencing and the like.
The digital PCR (digital PCR-dPCR) technology is a new nucleic acid detection and quantification method, and unlike the traditional quantitative PCR (qPCR) technology, the digital PCR adopts an absolute quantification mode, and directly detects the copy number of a target sequence without depending on a standard curve and a reference sample. Because the detection mode has more excellent sensitivity, specificity and accuracy than the traditional qPCR, dPCR is rapidly and widely applied, the technology has been widely accepted in terms of very trace nucleic acid sample detection, rare mutation detection under a complex background and small difference identification of expression quantity, and has a wide application prospect in the aspects of gene expression research, microRNA research, genome copy number identification, cancer marker rare mutation detection, pathogenic microorganism identification, transgene component identification, accurate quantification of NGS sequencing library, result verification and the like, and has been paid more attention. Digital PCR techniques are currently classified into two types, chip-type and droplet-type, in which chip-type digital PCR devices and techniques employ chips as reaction vessels for nucleic acid amplification, which require that the nucleic acid amplification reaction must be performed in a fully enclosed environment due to the nature of digital PCR techniques and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR techniques themselves.
At present, a chip carrying device of a chip type digital PCR (digital PCR chip carrying device of Thermo Scientific company) adopts aluminum as a substrate, plastic and glass covers are used as sealing covers on the upper surface, and a mode of scraping mixed liquid of a sample and a reaction reagent into a micro-reaction tank by using a special scraper is needed for chip sample adding. And (3) filling mineral oil for sealing after sample addition, and then placing an amplification instrument for nucleic acid amplification reaction after the upper surface sealing cover is attached to the aluminum substrate by using strong glue.
The main defects of the operation are that the steps of the operation process are more, the process is complex, certain technical requirements are provided for operators, the possibility of human error is high, the operation time is long, and the mixed liquid in the reaction tank of the micro system is possibly volatilized, so that the result is inaccurate.
