Definitions
- the invention relates to a manageable unit (“cartridge”) comprising a sensor chip for determining an analyte in a fluid, in particular a SAW sensor with a plurality of sensor elements, and a flow cell for guiding the fluid via the sensor surface of the sensor chip that is sensitive to the analyte as well as an analysis system containing such a cartridge.
- a manageable unit comprising a sensor chip for determining an analyte in a fluid, in particular a SAW sensor with a plurality of sensor elements, and a flow cell for guiding the fluid via the sensor surface of the sensor chip that is sensitive to the analyte as well as an analysis system containing such a cartridge.
- a sensor unit for use in such systems in particular for use in SAW gas sensor arrays, is known from DE 102 22 068 B4, this is relatively complex and can hardly guarantee easy handling. This sensor unit is unsuitable for production as a "mass-produced article”.
- the object of the present invention is now to provide a unit of sensor chip and fluidic cell, which are easy and safe to handle and can also be used in a mobile system.
- it is the object of designing such a unit as a cost-effective and possibly recyclable mass-produced "disposable article" in the form of a regeneratable cartridge.And it is an object of the invention to propose a mobile system for using the cartridge.
- a particularly important basic idea of the invention resides in the cover part, which is placed directly and sealingly on the sensitive sensor surface, that is to say provided with receptor molecules, and forms the flow cell together with the sensor chip.
- the cover part does not completely cover the sensor chip, so that the conductor tracks for contacting the sensor surface lead out of the thus formed flow cell, virtually under the edge of the cover part.
- an easily manageable and self-contained unit in the manner of a cartridge can be realized, which integrates all the components required for analysis.
- such a cartridge can be incorporated into an overall system with simple steps, so that an analysis can be carried out at any time without any detailed knowledge and experience, even by untrained personnel.
- the flow cell thus has a cover part to be placed on the sensitive sensor surface, the edge of the cover part sealingly engaging the sensor surface by means of a seal, means being provided for clamping the cover part against the seal and wherein the sensor chip has conductor tracks for contacting the sensor surface, which lead out of the flow cell.
- a particular advantage of the unit according to the invention is that it can be manufactured as a cost-effective mass product, especially for single use, and it may be particularly advantageous for economic and ecological reasons to provide for recycling.
- the cartridges according to the invention can thus be used as consumables in mobile systems which can identify and quantify illegal drugs, explosives and possibly also other toxic and hazardous substances by electronic-biochemical means.
- the lid part is formed as a one-piece flat lid plate, in the surface of which a recess is introduced on one side.
- the recess which overhangs the sensor chip in the assembled state forms a hollow volume open toward the sensor chip and thus the flow cell.
- the lid plate in particular as a molded part of a flexible material, such as EPDM or silicone rubber.
- the edge of the lid plate forms a sealing ring.
- the sensor chip has a plurality of independent surface elements for the SAW measurement. These are then each assigned the corresponding receptors.
- the depth of the channel is less than 0.5 mm, in the installed state, in particular about 0.2 mm, with a width between about 0.1 mm and 2 mm, in particular 0.4 mm.
- the sealing edge is formed by a thin sealing bead and this projects beyond a lowered, in particular extending outside of the sealing bead bearing surface.
- the sealing bead is pressed together until the contact surface rests flush against the sensor surface.
- the bearing surface is advantageously at a level which lies above the base surface of the meander-shaped recess by the amount of the intended channel height.
- the means for clamping have two flat adjoining housing parts which are adapted to the geometry of sensor chip and cover plate and between which the sensor chip and the cover plate are clamped.
- fastening means in particular by snap closures, firmly but detachably.
- fastening means are provided which can only be opened with special tools available to the specialist personnel without causing any visible damage.
- a hollow volume which is open toward the sensor chip spans over the latter, the so-called flow cell.
- the sensor surfaces and the flow cell thus form a closed channel through which the liquid to be analyzed flows.
- the flow cell is firmly integrated into the surrounding housing.
- the housing fixes sensor chip and fluidic cell in the required arrangement for the overall function.
- the surrounding housing releases the sensor chip with its contacts in the required areas. Channels are integrated in the housing which direct the fluid to and from the flow cell.
- the flow cell is accurately inserted into a recess provided in the cartridge cover. The tightness against both the sensor chip and against the cartridge cover is accomplished mechanically by the contact pressure realized in the assembly. Adhesives or other adhesion promoters are not used.
- FIG. 2 a cartridge
- Figure 3 a section through the cartridge in height of the sensor chip.
- a mobile system (not shown) advantageously has a dispensing module for easy administration of the analyte, and for rapid and uncomplicated analyzes, wipers are particularly suitable for this, which in particular absorb samples of body fluids such as perspiration.
- the fluidic module is for conducting the fluid loaded with analyte with corresponding Provided channels.
- a drive and analysis unit for automatically performing the measurement is available.
- This has in particular a microcomputer, which controls the sensor chip with signal frequencies and evaluates the measurement results. Via output means, such as a display and / or a printer, the measurement results are output to the user.
- housing parts 2 and 4 are provided as injection-molded parts made of solid plastic, which are adapted to the geometry of sensor chip 1 and cover plate 3.
- the size of the housing parts, in particular of the housing part 2 is measured on a good handling. Overall, the dimensioning of the housing parts is on the order of less than 3 cm.
- the first housing part 2 has a recess 5 for receiving the cover plate 3 forming the flow cell in conjunction with the sensor chip, wherein the second housing part 4 has a recess 6 for receiving the sensor chip 1.
- the depth of the recesses 5 and 6 are each dimensioned so that the flat covering of the housing parts 2 and 3 causes the seal between the cover part and the sensor surface.
- channels 7 are provided, which open in the assembled state in the flow cell and via which the fluid to the sensor chip back and is led away again.
- the connection of the cartridge is done via two flange-like cap pieces 8, which are placed by means of sealing rings 9 on nozzle 10 of the housing part 4.
- the two housing parts 2 and 4 lie against one another via bearing surfaces, wherein the bearing surface 11 of the first housing part 2 is larger and serves as an abutment of the conductor tracks 12 protruding under the seal.
- the interconnects form a comb-like conductor structure, which rests on the support surface 11 of the housing part 2 and is freely accessible for electrical contact. This can be provided with corresponding mating contacts in the mobile system interact.
- the geometry of the housing parts is dimensioned so that the housing can be positively inserted into a corresponding receptacle in the mobile system.
- the two housing parts 2 and 4 are connected by means of peg-like snap fasteners 13.
- FIG. 3 a horizontal section through the cartridge in height of the sensor chip 14 is first shown in FIG. Evident is the outer comb-like structure of the contact points 15 of the conductor tracks, which continue in the interior of the flow cell as SAW surface elements 16.
- the cover plate 17 is placed from EPDM, in which a meandering channel structure 18 is introduced. It can be seen that the meanders are designed so that all surface elements 16 fluid is supplied.
- the lid plate 17 also has two openings 19, through which the fluid is added and discharged again.
- FIG. 3b A cross section through the flow cell formed by sensor chip 14 and cover plate 17 is shown in FIG. 3b.
- the cover plate 17 initially has the recess 19 forming the flow cell with an edge 20.
- the edge 20 is increased as a sealing bead 21 against a support surface 22.
- the sealing bead 21 compresses and the sensor chip 14 lies flat against the bearing surface 22.
