Abstract

The invention relates to a dielectrophoresis chip with capture and condensation functions, which contains an upper substrate, a lower substrate, a liquid channel formation layer disposed between the substrates, and two symmetrical electrode layers respectively coated on the facing sides of the substrates. The liquid channel formation layer and the substrates demarcate a hollow micro-channel that extends laterally and is provided for dielectrophoresis liquid to move thereon. Each of the electrode layers contains a capture electrode extending longitudinally which has a V-shaped first capture member crossing the micro-channel. The first capture member can capture the micro-particles with a specific dielectrophoresis feature when they pass through the dielectrophoresis liquid if the capture electrode are empowered by a fixed-frequency alternating current. Therefore, through the structural design of the capture members, the particles can be captured and accumulated altogether at a predetermined region for subsequent qualitative and quantitative measurements.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a dielectrophoretic wafer, and more particularly to a dielectrophoretic wafer having a particle separation and capture concentration function. [Previous technology] In terms of bed verification and general food inspection, it is hoped that the bacteria type or specific biological particles contained in the sample can be detected in the fastest way: in order to control the timing and type of antibiotics. . In terms of bacterial capture ^ concentration, due to the concentration of certain bacteria in the sample that needs to be detected improperly, she. A rare bacterial concentration test identified, and the bacteria are scattered in the suspension, easy to fix their position due to Brownian motion or self-flagellation. The traditional method is to cultivate the sample first. The bacteria in the medium are cultured to a certain concentration, and the general concentration is about 1〇M〇8cFU/ml. The nuclear is more effectively detected. After the accompanying procedure, it usually takes about 24 to 48 hours, and the growth is slow. It takes even a few days for the bacteria to grow until there is enough concentration. For example, Helicobacter pylori takes about four to seven days. Such a time-consuming and complicated process is often slow and inconvenient for some acute diseases caused by microbial infections, and cannot meet the clinical needs. If the bacteria in the sample are not '/, one type, then it takes more time. Isolation and culture of different strains. Although there are many different types of dielectrophoresis wafers, most of them use a fluid-free flow concentration method. For example, a quadrupole electrode dielectrophoresis wafer can be captured by a negative dielectrophoretic force in the middle of the four electrodes. Since the electric field strength is attenuated as it is farther away from the electrode surface, the capture concentration effect 5 200841011 is not good. If there is a fluid condition, the particles suspended above the upper one will not be manipulated by the effective dielectrophoretic force. Capturing mode is not possible. After opening, there is no more particles to enter. Low-concentration samples are less concentrated in this way, and concentration cannot be quantified by the capture area. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a dielectrophoretic wafer that captures particles having different dielectric properties in a concentrated liquid bath.

The flow path forming plate 5 is made of SU8 and cooperates with the substrates 3 and 4 which are superposed on the top and bottom surfaces thereof to define a hollow micro-flow 50 which is left and right for the flow of the dielectrophoretic liquid. The microchannel 5 has a main flow section 501 extending left and right and communicating with the liquid injection hole 3〇1 at the left end, and the right end of the autonomous flow section 501 extending to the right and the front and rear intervals and communicating with the main flow section 5〇, respectively. A first and a second splitter section 502, 503, and the right ends of the splitter sections 502, 5〇3 are respectively in communication with the drain holes 302, 303. However, in the implementation, the materials of the substrates 3, 4 and the flow channel forming plate 5 are not limited to the above materials. In the present embodiment, the main section 5 〇1 of the microchannel 50 is wider than m, Μ πι, and the height is about 25 // m, and the sections 502 and 503 are about 350 7 200841011. The microfluidic 5Q structure ratio is not limited to this. The electrode layers 6 are made of a conductive metal material and are in the form of a film having a first-sorting electrode 61, a second sorting electrode 62, and a trapping electrode 63 arranged in order from left to right. The first sorting electrodes ' respectively have a front side of the autonomous flow segment 5G1 extending horizontally to the right rear into the 77th selection portion 611 of the main flow segment, and the second sorting electrodes 62 respectively have an i main flow segment 5 ( 1) the rear side corresponds to the end of the first sorting unit 611, and the right side • the horizontal side extends horizontally into the second sorting unit 62 of the main stream section 501, and the end of the second-stage sorting unit 621 is located at the first In the split section 502. The capture electrodes 63 are bent forward and backward across the splitter segments 5〇2 and 503, respectively having one of the first and second capture portions 631, 634 crossing the splitter segments, 5〇3, respectively. The capturing portions 631 and the states are substantially v-shaped with the openings facing the corresponding shunt segments 502, 5〇3 and the main stream segments 5〇1, that is, the openings of the capturing portions 631 and 634 are welcoming from the main stream segment 3 〇 1 Dielectrophoresis solution. The capture portions are 634) each having two rightward facing directions, a slanting edge extending into the corresponding splitting section 502 (503), and a second guiding segment 632 (magic 5), and two from the guiding segments respectively 2 ( 635) end with a predetermined curvature extending to the right oblique arc and the end is connected to the catching segment (4)) and the connecting portion of the capturing segment 633 ( 636 ) is located at the corresponding sub-flow segment 502 ( 503) Middle area. The v-shaped structural design formed by the guiding sections 632, 635 and the capturing section milk 636 of the capturing sections 31, 634 of the upper and lower spacing symmetry: firstly by the guiding sections 632, 635 The negative dielectrophoretic force generated will be rapidly moving; the particles in the electro-permanent liquid are blocked, and the space between the guiding segments 632 and 635 of the upper and lower intervals 8 200841011 cannot be passed, and the particles to be blocked can be removed. Gradually guiding to the arc-shaped trapping segments 633, 635, the displacement speed of the particles is gradually slowed down, and the strongest electric field effect is generated at the tip end of the connecting segments 633, 635. Forming a strong negative dielectrophoretic force greater than the fluid force of the dielectrophoretic fluid, so that the particles guided between the capture segments 633, 635 can be subjected to the strong negative dielectrophoretic force and cannot pass through the upper and lower

In order for the capture segments 633, 636 to effectively capture particles, the preferred included angles (0) of the connected capture segments 633, 636 range from 4 〇. 〜45, the arc bending rate of the capturing segments 633, 636 is defined as: the ratio of the front and rear spacing (1) to the left and right spacing (4) of the left and right ends of each capturing segment, and the curvature range that can be implemented is less than or equal to i, but preferably The range of curvature is small: equal to 0.5. In the following description of the embodiment, the capture section has a positive and gamma curvature of 0.45, and the angles of the captured segments 633 and (4) are the preferred curvature ranges. Jin suffered a loss of 1, because the heart-shaped capture section 633, 636 curvature range is between OH, although the bran section (3), (four) can still produce the dielectrophoretic force of capturing particles, but ^ because of the curvature of the temple capture section 633, 636 The angle changes too fast, and the fluid force generated when the liquid flows is greater than the force of the capturing segments 633, 636, and the capturing segments 633 are lowered, effectively capturing the manipulation micro/efficiency 'for the shape with curvature greater than G_5 The structure will be described later. When the different particles in the dielectrophoresis liquid are to be separated by the dielectrophoretic wafer, 9 200841011 may apply different frequencies to the capture electrodes 61 and 62 of the electrode layers 6 and the capture electrodes. AC power to make such sorting The electrodes 61, 62 and the trapping electrodes 63 can respectively generate a negative dielectrophoretic force for the difference in intensity of the different particles. The carrier can then pass the dielectrophoretic solution of the particles having different dielectric properties from the liquid injection hole 301 of the upper substrate 3. Gradually inject into the microchannel 5〇, you can start the sorting and capture concentration of the particles, and can be used for qualitative and quantitative detection with other detection instruments (not shown), such as Raman spectroscopy and image picker. φ, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, firstly, the action of the sorting electrodes 61 and 62 is described, and the red blood cells and the enterococci (five) in the diluted blood sample are subjected to sorting test, wherein The first sorting electrodes are applied with an electrical signal of 20 VP_P, 400 kHz, and the second sorting electrodes are applied with a home signal of 10 VP_P, 400 kHz, and the flow rate of the sample in the micro flow channel 5 为 is 200 μπι/ When the red blood cells and enterococci are carried to the first sorting electrodes by the flowing dielectrophoresis liquid, the first sorting electrode 61 generates a negative dielectrophoretic force for the red blood cells and the enterococci which is greater than the fluid of the dielectrophoresis liquid. Force, making this φ two The particles are not able to pass through the regions between the first sorting portions, and are gradually displaced along the extending direction of the first sorting portion 611 to the rear side of the main stream segment 5〇1, and flow to the second sorting electrode 62. § When the red blood cells and enterococci adjacent to the back side of the mainstream segment 501 are guided to the second sorting electrode 62, under the above-mentioned alternating current signal condition, the second sorting electrode will generate a negative dielectrophoretic force for the red blood cells to be greater than the fluid effect. The force, so the red blood cells are repelled by the second sorting portion 621, and are displaced into the first splitting portion 5〇2 along the extending direction of the second sorting portion 621. The second sorting electrodes are generated for the enterococci The negative dielectrophoretic force is weaker than the fluid force, so 10 200841011 Under the action of the above-mentioned dielectrophoretic fluid flow rate, the enterococci will be directly driven by the dielectrophoresis liquid and pass through the second sorting electrode 62 along the rear side of the main flow section 501. And sequentially entering the second splitting section 503, and then the biological particles of different dielectric properties can be respectively guided to different splitting sections 502, 503 to achieve the purpose of sorting. 5 and 6, the capture and concentration of the capture electrodes 63 located in the capture portions 631 and 634 of the segments 502 and 503 will be further described below. Taking the above red blood cells and enterococci as an example, the electric signals applied to the capture electrodes are respectively 20Vp-P, 500 kHz, at which time the capture portions are

Therefore, after the red blood cells and enterococci are sorted to the first and second branching stages, respectively, they are respectively negatively affected by the capturing parts. The swimming force is drained, and there is no space between the capturing portions, and under the driving of the dielectrophoresis liquid, the concentration limits are gradually located on the left side of the capturing portions, and the red blood cells and the long-concentration are completed. Dan takes raw milk as an example, and the raw milk is subjected to ^0?"Mao* 曰曰月.
