- the first portion 102b may be rotated about several degrees clockwise or counterclockwise around the angle E, that is, may be swung so as to reliably fill the first portion 102b with the cleaning liquid.
- the first flow path 110 draws the cleaning liquid by a capillary phenomenon. That is, the first flow path 110 is filled with the cleaning liquid by capillary action.
- the angle E may be any angle that allows the cleaning liquid to move from the second portion 102a to the first portion 102b by gravity.
- the angle E may be the same as the angle C. Since the cleaning liquid held in the first chamber 102 is less than that in step S4, the cleaning liquid may be stopped at an angle larger than the angle C with the angle A as a reference.
- Step S9 Process (d))
- the sample analysis substrate 100 is rotated.
- the centrifugal force due to the rotation acts on the cleaning liquid on the side portion 102aa of the first portion 102b and the second portion 102a.
- the cleaning liquid located in the first portion 102b moves to the side portion 102aa of the second portion 102a through the connecting portion 102c.
- the cleaning liquid on the side portion 102aa of the second portion 102a moves to the bottom portion 102ab located further away from the rotation axis.
- an excess amount of the cleaning liquid held in the first portion 102b is returned to the second portion 102a.
- a predetermined amount of the cleaning liquid is weighed out in the first portion 102b. Further, the excess amount of the cleaning liquid held in the first portion 102b is returned to the second portion 102a.
- the weighed cleaning liquid is transferred to the second chamber 103 via the first flow path 110 as shown in FIG. At the same time, the cleaning liquid that has been weighed out in a predetermined amount is transferred to the second chamber 103 via the first flow path 110.
- Step S10 (Step (g))
- the rotation of the sample analysis substrate 100 is stopped at an angle F (fourth angle).
- the magnetic particles 311 captured in the second chamber 103 are washed again with the washing liquid.
- a part of the cleaning liquid in the second chamber 103 moves to the second flow path 111 by capillary action.
- Step S11 (Process (h))
- the sample analysis substrate 100 is rotated. A centrifugal force is generated with the rotation, and the cleaning liquid in the second chamber 103 is transferred to the third chamber 104 through the second flow path 111. Due to the sum of the centrifugal force and the attractive force of the magnet 106, the magnetic particles 311 are strongly pressed against the side surface 103b and captured. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 15, only the cleaning liquid is discharged from the second flow path 111, and the magnetic particles 311 remain in the second chamber 103.
- the cleaning liquid located at the bottom 102ab of the first portion 102b of the first chamber 102 is pressed against the side surface located far from the rotation shaft 101 of the bottom 102ab by centrifugal force, the cleaning liquid is substantially It remains in the first portion 102b.
- Step S12 As shown in FIG. 16, after all the cleaning liquid has moved to the third chamber 104, for example, the rotation of the sample analysis substrate 100 is stopped at an angle G.
- the angle G is selected such that the cleaning liquid remaining in the first chamber 102 can move to the second storage chamber 109 through the fifth flow path 115 by gravity.
- a signal such as a dye, light emission, or fluorescence corresponding to the labeling substance 307 of the labeled antibody 308 bound to the complex 310 included in the magnetic particle 311 is detected.
- detection of the antigen 306, quantification of the concentration of the antigen 306, and the like can be performed.
- the liquid can be introduced into the same chamber in a plurality of times. For this reason, when performing B / F separation using the sample analysis substrate, sufficient cleaning can be performed.
- This operation can be realized by controlling the rotation and stop of the sample analysis substrate and controlling the angle at the time of stop. For this reason, it can be suitably applied to analysis methods in which components in a sample are analyzed through complex reaction steps including B / F separation without using a large analytical instrument or manually operated by an operator. It is.
- the sample analysis substrate, the sample analysis apparatus, and the sample analysis system according to the present embodiment apply a solution other than the cleaning solution a plurality of times as described above. It can be applied to various sample analysis methods that are introduced into the same chamber separately. In the above embodiment, the liquid is continuously introduced into the chamber. However, by appropriately controlling the rotation and stop of the sample analysis substrate and the angle at the time of stop, the other can be performed in between. It is also possible to include a process.
- the cleaning is performed twice, but may be performed three or more times as necessary.
- the sample analysis substrate, the sample analysis device, the sample analysis system, and the sample analysis system program of the present disclosure use magnetic particles. It is not limited to the analysis of the sample.
- the target to which the primary antibody is immobilized may be a wall surface in the chamber instead of the magnetic particles.
- the primary antibody when the chamber is made of a material such as polystyrene or polycarbonate, the primary antibody can be immobilized on the wall surface in the chamber by physical adsorption. For this reason, a sandwich-type binding reaction with an antigen or a labeled antibody can be performed in the chamber. Moreover, it has a functional group (for example, amino group or carboxyl group) that can bind to the primary antibody on the wall surface in the chamber, and the primary antibody can be immobilized by chemical bonding. Thereby, a sandwich-type binding reaction with an antigen or a labeled antibody can be performed in the chamber. Moreover, a primary substrate can be fixed by providing a metal substrate on the wall surface in the chamber and binding the primary antibody to the metal substrate using SAM. Thereby, a sandwich-type binding reaction with an antigen or a labeled antibody can be performed in the chamber.
- a functional group for example, amino group or carboxyl group
- the form in which the primary antibody is immobilized on the wall of the chamber by physical adsorption or chemical bonding can be used, for example, in a measurement system that detects a dye, chemiluminescence, or fluorescence signal.
- the form in which the primary antibody is immobilized on a metal substrate can be used in a measurement system that mainly detects an electrochemical signal (for example, current) or an electrochemiluminescence signal as a signal.
- the magnet 106 shown in FIG. 3 is not necessary.
- the reaction field for forming the complex 310 is not the reaction chamber 107 but the third chamber 104. Accordingly, the primary antibody is fixed to the wall surface of the third chamber 104.
- the sample analysis substrate, sample analysis apparatus, sample analysis system, and sample analysis system program of the present disclosure can be applied not only to non-competitive methods (sandwich immunoassay methods) but also to competitive methods and gene detection methods by hybridization. It is.

試料分析システム501の動作を説明する。図5は、試料分析システム501の動作を示すフローチャートである。以下の工程に先立ち、試料分析用基板100を試料分析装置200に装填し、試料分析用基板100の原点を検出する。
まず、図6に示すように、洗浄液を試料分析用基板100の第1貯蔵チャンバー108に導入する。また、反応チャンバー107に、磁性粒子固定化抗体305と、抗原306を含む検体と、標識抗体308を導入する。例えば、反応チャンバー107に磁性粒子固定化抗体305を含む液体が保持されており、試料分析用基板100に設けられた図示しないチャンバーが抗原306および標識抗体308を含む液体をそれぞれ別々に保持しており、試料分析用基板100の回転による遠心力でこれらが反応チャンバー107へ移送されてもよい。反応チャンバー107において、磁性粒子固定化抗体305と、抗原306を含む検体と、標識抗体308とを抗原抗体反応により、同時に反応させて複合体310を形成させる。この時点で第4流路114および第3流路112は、毛細管現象によって、それぞれ、洗浄液および複合体310を含む反応液で満たされている。
複合体310が生成した後、試料分析用基板100を回転させ、複合体310を含む反応液を第2チャンバー103へ移動させる。この際、第3流路112は、毛細管現象によって、反応液で満たされている。このため、反応チャンバー107の複合体310を含む反応に、回転により第3流路112内の反応液にかかる毛細管力よりも強い遠心力が働くと、反応液は第2チャンバー103へ移送される。第2チャンバー103へ移送された反応液は、試料分析用基板100が回転している状態では、続いて第3チャンバー104へ移送されることはない。前述したように第2流路111がサイフォンを構成しているため、遠心力に逆らって、液体が、第2流路111を回転軸101に向かう方向へ移動しないからである。
試料分析用基板100を回転させる。回転にともない遠心力が発生し、第2チャンバー103内の反応液および磁性粒子311に働く。この遠心力は、図3Aに示すように、液体及び複合体が第2チャンバー103の側面103b側へ移動するように働く。遠心力が働く方向は、磁性粒子311が磁石106から受ける吸引力の方向と一致する。このため、複合体310は、強く側面103bに押し付けられる。
図9に示すように、試料分析用基板100を少し回転させ角度C(第1の角度)で停止させる。これにより、第1チャンバー102の第1部分102bが第2部分102aよりも重力方向において下に位置し、第2部分102aの洗浄液の一部が第1チャンバー102内において重力によって移し、第1部分102bの少なくとも一部を満たす。第1部分102bを確実に洗浄液で満たすよう、角度Cを中心として、時計回りおよび反時計回りに交互に数度程度回転させる、つまり揺動させてもよい。これにより図9に示すように、例えば、第1部分102bおよび第2部分102aの側部102aaが洗浄液で満たされる。第1部分102bが洗浄液で満たされると、第1流路110は毛細管現象により洗浄液を引き込む。すなわち、第1流路110は、毛細管現象によって、洗浄液で満たされている。角度Cは、重力によって洗浄液を第2部分102aから第1部分102bへ移動させることができる角度であればよい。
続いて、試料分析用基板100を回転させる。図10Aおよび図10Bに示すように、回転による遠心力が第1部分102bおよび第2部分102aの側部102aaにある洗浄液に働く。遠心力は、回転軸101から遠ざかるように洗浄液に働く。このため、図10Cに示すように、第1部分102bに位置する洗浄液は、連結部分102cを通って第2部分102aの側部102aaへ移動する。第2部分102aの側部102aaにある洗浄液は、より回転軸から離れて位置する底部102abへ移動する。その結果、回転軸101と、壁部分100fの回転軸101に最も近い点100eとを結ぶ線分を半径とする円弧caと、第1部分102bの洗浄液の液面とが一致するように、第1部分102bに保持されていた洗浄液のうち、余分な量が第2部分102aへ戻される。これによって、第1部分102bにおいて洗浄液の所定量が量り取られる。量り取られた洗浄液は、回転による遠心力によって、図10Dに示すように第1流路110を介して第2チャンバー103へ移送される。
洗浄液が第2チャンバー103へ移動したら、例えば、図11に示すように、角度D(第3の角度)で試料分析用基板100の回転を停止させる。これにより、第2チャンバー103に捕捉されていた磁性粒子311が洗浄液で洗浄される。また、第2チャンバー103の洗浄液の一部が毛細管現象によって第2流路111に移動する。
試料分析用基板100を回転させる。回転にともない遠心力が発生し、第2チャンバー103内の洗浄液が第2流路111を通って第3チャンバー104へ移送される。遠心力および磁石106の吸引力の和によって、磁性粒子311は側面103bに強く押し付けられ、捕捉される。このため、図12に示すように、洗浄液のみが第2流路111から排出され、磁性粒子311は第2チャンバー103にとどまる。
実質的に、ステップS4と同じである。図13に示すように、試料分析用基板100を角度E(第2の角度)で停止させる。これにより、第1チャンバー102の第1部分102bが第2部分102aよりも重力方向において下に位置し、第2部分102aの洗浄液の一部が第1チャンバー102内において重力によって移し、第1部分102bの少なくとも一部を満たす。第1部分102bを確実に洗浄液で満たすよう、角度Eを中心として、時計回りおよび反時計回りに数度程度回転させる、つまり揺動させてもよい。これにより例えば、第1部分102bおよび第2部分102aの側部102aa一部が洗浄液で満たされる。第1部分102bが洗浄液で満たされると、第1流路110は、毛細管現象により、洗浄液を引き込む。すなわち、第1流路110は、毛細管現象によって、洗浄液で満たされている。角度Eは、重力によって洗浄液を第2部分102aから第1部分102bへ移動させることができる角度であればよい。角度Eは、角度Cとおなじであってもよい。第1チャンバー102において保持している洗浄液がステップS4のときより少なくなっているため、角度Aを基準として角度Cより大きな角度で停止させてもよい。
続いて、試料分析用基板100を回転させる。ステップS5で説明したように、回転による遠心力が第1部分102bおよび第2部分102aの側部102aaにある洗浄液に働く。このため、第1部分102bに位置する洗浄液は、連結部分102cを通って第2部分102aの側部102aaへ移動する。第2部分102aの側部102aaにある洗浄液は、より回転軸から離れて位置する底部102abへ移動する。その結果、第1部分102bに保持されていた洗浄液のうち、余分な量が第2部分102aへ戻される。これによって、第1部分102bにおいて洗浄液の所定量が量り取られる。また、第1部分102bに保持された洗浄液のうち、余分な量は第2部分102aへ戻される。量り取られた洗浄液は、回転による遠心力によって、図10Dに示すように、第1流路110を介して第2チャンバー103へ移送される。とともに、概ね所定量が量り取られた洗浄液は、第1流路110を介して第2チャンバー103へ移送される。
洗浄液が第2チャンバー103へ移動したら、例えば、図14に示すように、角度F(第4の角度)で試料分析用基板100の回転を停止させる。これにより、第2チャンバー103に捕捉されていた磁性粒子311が再度洗浄液で洗浄される。また、第2チャンバー103の洗浄液の一部が毛細管現象によって第2流路111に移動する。
試料分析用基板100を回転させる。回転にともない遠心力が発生し、第2チャンバー103内の洗浄液が第2流路111を通って第3チャンバー104へ移送される。遠心力および磁石106の吸引力の和によって、磁性粒子311は側面103bに強く押し付けられ、捕捉される。このため、図15に示すように、洗浄液のみが第2流路111から排出され、磁性粒子311は第2チャンバー103にとどまる。
図16に示すように、洗浄液が第3チャンバー104へすべて移動した後、例えば、角度Gで試料分析用基板100の回転を停止させる。角度Gは、第1チャンバー102に残っている洗浄液が重力によって、第5流路115を通って第2貯蔵チャンバー109へ移動し得る角度が選択される。
