摘要: 本文基于捕获检测释放的机制, 采用集成片上阀门的三层微流控芯片工艺, 设计并制作了一种用于捕获和释放单细胞的芯片。利用COMSOL仿真优化芯片结构来增大细胞被捕获率。比较了芯片阀门在不同聚二甲基硅氧烷(Polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS)制作比例、不同进样压力时的状态以及长时间工作的性能, 测试了芯片捕获与释放机制的有效性, 能实现捕获、检测及释放过程。芯片的制作工艺简单, 成品率可达95%以上, 这种先捕获检测后再释放的方式为单细胞分离收集提供了新的技术途径。Abstract: Based on the mechanism of capture, detection and release, this paper designs and produces a chip for capturing and releasing single cells by using the three-layer microfluidic chip technology of the valve on the integrated chip. COMSOL simulation is used to optimize the chip structure to increase the capture rate of cells. The performance of the valve in different Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) combination and different sample loading pressures are compared. And the ability of the valve to operate for a long time is verified. The effectiveness of the capture and release mechanism of the chip is tested and the process of capture, detection and release can be realized. The fabrication process of the chip is simple, and the yield can reach more than 95%. This method of capturing and detecting before releasing provides a new technical approach for single cell separation and collection.
