Description

Silicon microchannel array erythrocyte rheological analyzing method and device
Technical field
The invention belongs to test, the analysis field of blood, be specifically related to a kind of method and apparatus of measuring red cell deformability.
Background technology
The technology of measuring at present red cell deformability in the world mainly contains following several:
1. the micro pipette method is measured red blood cell that micro pipette sucks length partly under constant negative pressure, determines erythrocytic mechanical property and deformation performance with this.Because this method is only measured single red blood cell, complicated operation, time-consuming should not be promoted.
2. laser diffractometry: blood sample is put into flow chamber,, measure and see through laser intensity between deformation phases and erythrocytic length and width are recently determined erythrocytic deformability because tangential stress causes red blood cell deformation.This method can only be measured the erythrocytic deformation performance of colony, and the cost of instrument is very expensive.
3. filtration method: under certain temperature and pressure, measure the red blood cell suspension of certain volume and measure erythrocytic deformability by the utensil that filter membrane, metallic screen etc. has filtration.The filter membrane processing stability that this method adopts is difficult to guarantee that the filter opening size is uneven, influence repeatability.
4. conductance method: red blood cell has deformability, thereby so red blood cell pH in the flow field can align the change that causes the cell suspending liquid conductivity, so conductivity can characterize out erythrocytic deformability.This method also can't the erythrocytic distortion situation of Real Time Observation.
In a word, all be left to be desired in order to the method for observing red cell deformability up to now, still there is not a kind of method both can be by easy micro imaging system Direct observation red blood cell deformation process, provide single again simultaneously and parameter colony's red blood cell deformation situation, provide abundanter rheology information to clinic diagnosis.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of more perfect red cell deformability detection method and device, it can pass through microscope direct observing cytomorphosis situation, can measure single red cell deformability by computer image analysis, and obtain the colony red cell deformability by the stream population parameter and distribute, this method is measured simple, and can obtain more rheology information, can be widely used in clinical.
Normocyte has the deformability of height, can comparatively fast pass through the capillary more much smaller than its diameter.But cause at a variety of causes under the situation of deformability attenuating, red blood cell can increase by the time of capillary, even stopped up.The present invention is in conjunction with the MEMS process technology, detects requirement by red cell deformability, etching parallel microchannels simulation capillary network on silicon chip.Because under uniform pressure drives, the red blood cell that deformability is different is also different by the time of passage, and single like this red blood cell can be measured by image analysis system by the time of passage, and fluctuations in discharge can reflect the situation of colony's red cell deformability again in the overall flow paths.
Ripe silicon chip process technology has guaranteed the accurate control of channel size, and precision can reach submicron order, and channel size also can be according to the different needs flexible design, and with low cost.The microchannel chip design is surperficial Open architecture, can pass through micro imaging system Direct observation red blood cell deformation situation, is convenient to the collection and the analysis of image.
The concrete technical scheme of the present invention is as follows:
Micro path array chip as the core is enclosed in the pedestal, and micro path array chip connects sample channel and waste liquid chamber respectively by two outlets of pedestal, is connected with the photovoltaic array that detects flow velocity on the sample channel.The afterbody of sample intake passage is a sample cell and a buffering liquid bath by T-valve control, a two common cushion chamber and positive pressure pumps of connecting of groove, another outlet of cushion chamber connects a reduction valve, pressure transducer is set in the cushion chamber, and photovoltaic array is gone into module with pressure transducer by mould and is connected with computing machine.The top of chip base is a viewing plane, connects microlens, and microscope connects image capture device and computing machine outward.
When detecting beginning, T-valve switches to the state that sample cell, buffering liquid groove, sample channel all communicate, and positive pressure pump drives the speed detector of flowing through after the damping fluid of red blood cell sample in buffering liquid groove in the sample cell mixes by cushion chamber, enters chip at last.Pressure transducer in the cushion chamber is regulated stream pressure by computing machine instant playback channel inner pressure situation by reduction valve, reaches the pressure limit that detection needs.Microscopically Real Time Observation red blood cell deformation situation, synchronous signal acquisition and recording system starts working: a. view data: through being installed in CCD camera on the microscope under the supervision of company monitor, picked-up sample cell by the microchannel procedural image and import computing machine and carry out the image storage and analyze, b. data on flows: the photovoltaic array test sample flow that on the sample introduction stream, is provided with, cell is imported computing machine by the variation of flow in the chip system process after amplifying.Finish the work that aggregation of data is analyzed on the last computing machine.Detection finishes, and T-valve switches to buffering liquid groove, and malleation drives buffer solution for cleaning stream and chip.
Advantage of the present invention is:
1. can be by reaching cytomorphosis and mobility status in the passage near the microscope direct observing passage;
2. can measure the precise information of single red cell deformability, also can obtain the distribution situation of colony's red cell deformability;
3.MEMS the microchannel size of technology processing can accurately be controlled, but channel shape and size flexible design;
4. the microchannel of simulation capillary is as detector, and experiment condition is the interior condition of analogue body basically, can intuitively reflect microcirculating state.
