Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は生化学実験・臨床検査・薬剤の開発研究において蛋白質・ペプチド・核酸等の溶液を吸引・分注する際に使用する分注用チップに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
現在、ディスポーザブルの分注用チップとしては主にポリプロピレンの成型品が幅広く用いられており、耐溶剤性、液切れ性の面で好適に使用されている。
更に近年、バイオテクノロジーの進展に伴い生化学分野において今までに無い極微量のサンプルを分取・分注するケースが増加し、そのニーズに合わせて例えば、特許文献1に開示されている様な分注用チップ内面にシリコーン・フッ素系処理を施したもの、或いはシリコーンを含有するポリプロピレンコンパウンドを用いて成型する事でチップ内部を撥水性にした「低リテンションタイプ」と呼ばれる溶液残留量の少ない分注用チップが実用化されている。
現在分注用チップは幅広い用途に使用されており、プッシュボタン式連続分注装置、いわゆるディスペンサーと呼ばれる手に持って使用する分注量が可変式の分注装置の先端部に取り付けるディスポーザブルチップが最も一般的であるが、それ以外に臨床検査の自動分析器の様な大型の装置類に組み込まれて使用する場合や、更には特許文献2に開示されている様に分注用チップ内で微粒子を使用した反応測定をする系も考えられている。
【0003】
微量物質が扱われるようになり、更に分注用チップの用途が広がるとともに従来の分注精度という要求性能に加えて、溶液中の物質のチップ内への吸着残留が問題としてクローズアップされてきた。
チップ内への吸着残留が引き起こす問題は第一に分取した溶液中の物質濃度の変化である。
分取−分注の溶液容量に変化が無くとも、溶液中の物質(溶質)がチップ壁面に吸着することで分注前後の溶液濃度に差が生じてしまい、その変化の割合は溶質の濃度が薄くなればなるほど大きくなり、分取−分注を繰り返すうちに最終的には溶質が全て吸着により失われるという事態も発生する。
【0004】
第二の問題としては、自動分析器や反応系に使用する場合チップに吸着残留した物質が次の反応系に持ち越され、いわゆるキャリーオーバーという不必要な反応もしくはコンタミネーションを引き起こす可能性である。
蛋白質・ペプチド・核酸といった生体由来物質は特に従来のチップに使用されているポリプロピレン樹脂に対して強い吸着性を示し、低リテンションタイプの撥水性処理を施したチップにおいても見た目の液切れ性は向上し、溶液の残留は改善されるが、吸着を引き起こす最も大きな要因である疎水性相互作用は逆に強くなってしまう為、物質の種類によって溶質の吸着残留量は増加してしまう。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、分注用チップの基本的な要求性能である分注精度を低下させる事無く、溶液中の物質のチップ壁面への吸着を抑え、分取溶液の濃度変化が無くキャリーオーバー・コンタミネーションを引き起こさない分注用チップを提供する事である。
【課題を解決するための手段】
【0007】
即ち本発明は、
(1)内面の少なくとも溶液が接触する部分が水との接触角が0度の超親水性材料で被覆され、少なくともチップ先端部分の外面が水との接触角が60度以上の樹脂からなる分注用チップ、
(2)水との接触角が60度以上の樹脂がポリプロピレンである(1)記載の分注用チップ、
(3)超親水性材料が、ポリヒドロキシアルキルメタクリレート、ポリオキシC−Cアルキレン基含有メタクリレート重合体又はこれを含む共重合体、ポリビニルピロリドン、リン脂質・高分子複合体、及び2−メタクリロイルオキシエチルホスホリルコリンを含む重合体又はこれを含む共重合体、から選ばれる少なくとも1つである(1)又は(2)記載の分注用チップ、
である。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
分注用チップ壁面と溶液中の物質の吸着を防止する為には疎水性相互作用を無くす事が最も効果的であり、分注用チップ壁面の疎水性部位を無くす、即ち親水化するという分注用チップの表面処理として全く新規の方法を本発明において選択した。
親水化の際、吸着をより高度に抑えるためには接触角が0度の超親水性表面にする事が重要である。
ここで、単にディスペンサーチップ表面を超親水性表面にしてしまうと基本的な要求性能である分注精度が低下するという問題が発生する。
本発明者は、いかにして分注精度を下げる事無く超親水性表面により吸着を防止させるかという点について鋭意検討の結果、少なくともディスペンサーチップ先端部分の外面を接触角60度以上の表面にする事によって分注精度の問題を解決できる事を見出した。
【0009】
検討の結果、分注の際精度が低下する要因は2つあり、一つはチップ内面への溶液の残留によるものと、もう一つはチップ先端部外面への溶液の巻き込み付着である。
前者については、当然チップ内面が撥水性であるほど溶液は残留せずに精度良く排出されるのであるが、超親水性にした場合でも分注速度に注意してゆっくりと排出する事で残留量を抑える事が可能で、寧ろ条件によってはポリプロピレンの様に液滴状に溶液が残留する場合よりも効率的に溶液が排出される事も確認した。
【0010】
一方後者すなわちチップ先端部外面への溶液の巻き込みについてはチップ外面を超親水性にした場合、先端から排出された溶液が滴下されずにチップ外面に付着残留する割合が大きくなり分注精度が低下してしまう。
よって、分注用チップ内面の溶液が接触する部分を接触角0度の超親水性材料で被覆し、チップ先端部の外面を接触角60度以上の樹脂とする事で分注精度を低下させる事無く、壁面への吸着残留を改善させる事が出来る。
【0011】
本発明の分注用チップは量産性を考慮した場合水との接触角が60度以上のポリプロピレンで成型したチップ成型品の内面に水との接触角が0度の超親水性材料を被覆するのが好ましく、該超親水性材料としてはポリヒドロキシアルキルメタクリレート、ポリオキシC−Cアルキレン基含有メタクリレート重合体又はこれを含む共重合体、ポリビニルピロリドン、リン脂質・高分子複合体、又は2−メタクリロイルオキシエチルホスホリルコリン重合体又はこれを含む共重合体から選ばれる少なくとも1つであることが好ましい。
【0012】
前述の通りチップ内面への溶液残留が少ないほど分注速度を上げる事ができるので、超親水性材料としては出来るだけ自由水の保持率が低いものが好ましく、前述の2−メタクリロイルオキシエチルホスホリルコリンを含む共重合体のコーティング層で可能な限り薄く被覆するのが吸着防止効果、分注精度のバランスの面で最も好ましい。
2−メタクリロイルオキシエチルホスホリルコリンを含む化合物の共重合体としては特に限定するものでは無いが、2−メタクリロイルオキシエチルホスホリルコリン・ブチルメタクリレート共重合体(「ハイドロゲルの血液適合性に及ぼす親水性基構造の影響」生体材料Vol.9、No.6 石原一彦、中林宣男他参照)を好適に使用する事が出来る。
2−メタクリロイルオキシエチルホスホリルコリン重合体又は共重合体においては、共重合体中の2−メタクリロイルオキシエチルホスホリルコリンの含有率が高いほど優れた吸着制御効果が期待できるが、2−メタクリロイルオキシエチルホスホリルコリンの含有率が高ければ共重合体は水溶性となる為、目的に応じて共重合比率を調節する必要がある。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a dispensing tip used for aspirating and dispensing solutions of proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, etc. in biochemical experiments, clinical tests, and drug development research.
[0002]
[Prior art]
At present, molded products of polypropylene are widely used as disposable dispensing tips, and are preferably used in terms of solvent resistance and liquid drainage.
Furthermore, in recent years, with the progress of biotechnology, the number of cases of dispensing and dispensing an extremely small amount of sample in the field of biochemistry has increased, and according to the needs, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1 A low-retention type, called "low retention type", in which the inside of the tip is made water-repellent by molding it with a silicone-fluorine treatment on the inner surface of the dispensing tip or by molding using a silicone-containing polypropylene compound. Note chips have been put to practical use.
Currently, dispensing tips are used for a wide range of applications.Disposable tips that are attached to the tip of a push-button type continuous dispensing device, a dispenser with a variable dispensing amount used in the hand called a dispenser, are used. It is the most common, but when it is used by being incorporated into a large-sized device such as an automatic analyzer for a clinical test, or in a dispensing tip as disclosed in Patent Document 2 A system for measuring the reaction using fine particles has also been considered.
[0003]
Trace substances have been handled, and the use of dispensing tips has expanded, and in addition to the required performance of conventional dispensing accuracy, residual adsorption of substances in solution into chips has been highlighted as a problem. .
The first problem caused by the residual adsorption in the chip is a change in the concentration of the substance in the separated solution.
Even if there is no change in the solution volume between the dispensing and dispensing, a difference occurs in the solution concentration before and after dispensing due to the substance (solute) adsorbing on the chip wall surface, and the rate of the change is the solute concentration. The thinner becomes, the larger it becomes, and during the repetition of preparative-dispensing, a situation occurs in which all the solutes are eventually lost by adsorption.
[0004]
The second problem is that when used in an automatic analyzer or a reaction system, the substance adsorbed and remaining on the chip is carried over to the next reaction system, and may cause an unnecessary reaction or contamination called carryover.
Biological substances such as proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids show strong adsorptive properties especially to the polypropylene resin used in conventional chips, and the improved liquid repellency of low-retention type water-repellent chips is improved. Although the solution retention is improved, the hydrophobic interaction, which is the largest factor causing the adsorption, becomes stronger on the contrary, so that the adsorption residue of the solute increases depending on the type of the substance.
[0005]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-8-89820 [Patent Document 2]
JP-A-11-262678 [0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to suppress the adsorption of substances in a solution to a chip wall without lowering dispensing accuracy, which is a basic required performance of a dispensing tip, and to prevent carry-over without a change in the concentration of a dispensing solution.・ Provide a dispensing tip that does not cause contamination.
[Means for Solving the Problems]
[0007]
That is, the present invention
(1) At least a portion of the inner surface that comes into contact with the solution is coated with a superhydrophilic material having a contact angle with water of 0 °, and at least an outer surface of the tip end portion is made of a resin with a contact angle with water of 60 ° or more. Injection tip,
(2) The dispensing tip according to (1), wherein the resin having a contact angle with water of 60 degrees or more is polypropylene.
(3) superhydrophilic material, polyhydroxyalkyl methacrylates, polyoxy C 2 -C 4 alkylene group containing methacrylate polymers or copolymers comprising the same, polyvinylpyrrolidone, phospholipid-polymer composite, and 2-methacryloyloxy A dispensing tip according to (1) or (2), which is at least one selected from a polymer containing ethyl phosphorylcholine or a copolymer containing the same;
It is.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The most effective way to prevent the adsorption of the substance in the solution to the dispensing tip wall is to eliminate the hydrophobic interaction, and to eliminate the hydrophobic part of the dispensing tip wall, that is, to make it hydrophilic. A completely new method was selected in the present invention for the surface treatment of injection chips.
At the time of hydrophilization, in order to suppress the adsorption to a higher degree, it is important to provide a superhydrophilic surface having a contact angle of 0 degree.
Here, if the dispenser tip surface is simply made a superhydrophilic surface, there arises a problem that the dispensing accuracy, which is a basic required performance, is reduced.
The present inventor has conducted intensive studies on how to prevent adsorption by a superhydrophilic surface without lowering the dispensing accuracy, and as a result, at least the outer surface of the tip portion of the dispenser tip has a contact angle of 60 degrees or more. It has been found that the problem of dispensing accuracy can be solved.
[0009]
As a result of the study, there are two factors that lower the accuracy in dispensing, one is due to the solution remaining on the inner surface of the chip, and the other is the entrainment of the solution on the outer surface of the tip end.
For the former, naturally, the more water-repellent the inner surface of the chip, the more accurately the solution is discharged without remaining.However, even when the surface is super-hydrophilic, the solution can be discharged slowly by paying attention to the dispensing speed. It was also confirmed that depending on the conditions, the solution was discharged more efficiently than when the solution remained in the form of droplets like polypropylene.
[0010]
On the other hand, regarding the latter, that is, entrapment of the solution into the outer surface of the tip of the chip, when the outer surface of the chip is made superhydrophilic, the rate of the solution discharged from the tip not adhering to the outer surface of the chip without being dripped increases, resulting in a lower dispensing accuracy. Resulting in.
Therefore, the dispensing tip is coated with a super-hydrophilic material having a contact angle of 0 °, and the outer surface of the tip of the tip is made of a resin having a contact angle of 60 ° or more, thereby lowering dispensing accuracy. It is possible to improve the residual adsorption on the wall without any problem.
[0011]
The dispensing tip of the present invention covers the inner surface of a tip molded product made of polypropylene having a contact angle with water of 60 degrees or more in consideration of mass productivity with a superhydrophilic material having a contact angle with water of 0 degrees. Preferably, the superhydrophilic material is a polyhydroxyalkyl methacrylate, a polyoxy C 2 -C 4 alkylene group-containing methacrylate polymer or a copolymer containing the same, polyvinylpyrrolidone, a phospholipid / polymer composite, or 2-hydroxyalkyl methacrylate. It is preferably at least one selected from a methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine polymer and a copolymer containing the same.
[0012]
As described above, since the dispensing rate can be increased as the solution remaining on the inner surface of the chip is smaller, it is preferable that the superhydrophilic material has a retention rate of free water as low as possible, and the above-mentioned 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine is preferable. It is most preferable to coat as thin as possible with a coating layer of a copolymer containing the same in view of the balance between the adsorption prevention effect and the dispensing accuracy.
The copolymer of the compound containing 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine is not particularly limited, but a 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine / butyl methacrylate copolymer (“having a hydrophilic group structure that affects the blood compatibility of a hydrogel”). Influence "Biomaterial Vol. 9, No. 6 Kazuhiko Ishihara, Nobuo Nakabayashi et al.) Can be suitably used.
In the 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine polymer or copolymer, the higher the content of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine in the copolymer, the higher the adsorption control effect can be expected, but the higher the content of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine, the better. If the ratio is high, the copolymer becomes water-soluble, so it is necessary to adjust the copolymerization ratio according to the purpose.
[0013]
【Example】
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples.
(Example 1)
A 0.5 wt / vol% ethanol solution of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine-butyl methacrylate copolymer is dispensed from an opening on the dispenser connection side of a polypropylene dispensing tip (SUMILON MS-63160G manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite) and 5 minutes. After maintaining the dispensing state, a suction nozzle connected to a vacuum pump was connected to the opening on the dispenser connection side, and after suction for 10 seconds, vacuum drying was performed at 70 ° C. for 4 hours.
2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine-butyl methacrylate copolymer is a 2-methacryloyloxyethyl compound according to the content of “Drug Release from Hydrogel Membrane Having Phospholipid-Like Structure, Journal of Polymers, 46, 591-595 (1989)”. A copolymer having a phosphorylcholine / butyl methacrylate ratio of 3/7 was synthesized and used.
[0014]
(Comparative Example 1)
A polypropylene dispensing tip (SUMILON MS-63160G manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite) was used as Comparative Example 1.
[0015]
(Comparative Example 2)
Comparative Example 2 was prepared by coating a polypropylene dispensing tip (SUMILON MS-63160G, manufactured by Sumitomo Bakelite) with a fluorine-based water repellent in accordance with JP-A-8-89920, "Dispenser Tips and Production Method".
[0016]

[0018]
(Evaluation of dispensing accuracy)
The dispensing accuracy of the dispensing tips of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 was evaluated. The evaluation method was in accordance with Japanese Industrial Standard K0970 (push button type micro sample volume meter for liquid).
[0019]
[Table 2]
Figure 2004136236
[0020]
Comparative Example 2 had the best coefficient of variation and accuracy, but Example 1 was at the same level as Comparative Example 1 and all satisfied the Japanese Industrial Standards.
[0021]
(Evaluation of protein solution concentration change rate)
Using the protein solution, the change in concentration before and after dispensing was measured.
Using two kinds of protein peroxidase-labeled avidin and peroxidase-labeled bovine serum albumin, each having a concentration of three levels, the procedure of Example 1, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 was repeated 10 times for the dispensing-dispensing operation. The amount of protein in the solution was determined as an absorbance value by reacting the enzyme activity of peroxidase with TMBZ.
[0022]
The results are shown in FIGS. FIG. 1 is a graph showing the amount of enzyme activity in a solution obtained by repeating the dispensing-dispensing operation of 0.016, 0.08, and 0.4 μg / mL peroxidase-labeled avidin solution 10 times. FIG. 2 is a graph showing the amount of enzyme activity in a 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 μg / mL peroxidase-labeled bovine serum albumin solution after repeating the dispensing-dispensing operation 10 times. As a result, it was confirmed that the protein concentration of Example 1 was higher than that of Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, and a decrease in solute due to the fractionation-dispensing operation was suppressed.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
By using the dispensing tip of the present invention, there is no adsorption of the solute to the dispensing tip, and the dispensing-dispensing operation without concentration change and contamination of the dispensing solution can be performed accurately.
