Definitions
- the present invention relates to blood testing technology, and in particular to a blood testing microfluidic chip and a testing method thereof.
- the ABO blood group system is the blood group system with the strongest antigen immunity in the human blood group system.
- the red blood cell ABO blood group identification test is divided into positive typing test and reverse typing test in serology.
- the reverse typing test uses A and B reagent red blood cells to check the anti-A antibodies and anti-B antibodies in the serum, which complements the positive typing test to improve the accuracy of ABO blood group identification.
- Commonly used methods include the slide method, test tube method, microplate method and microcolumn gel method.
- the slide method and the test tube method are manual operations with complicated operation processes. The accuracy of the results is greatly affected by human factors and has been gradually eliminated.
- the microplate method is suitable for large sample volume analysis, but it needs to be equipped with a large automatic sampler.

- the accuracy is greatly affected by human factors and is rarely used in clinical transfusion departments.
- the microcolumn gel method is currently a commonly used method, but it also has the following limitations: 1 It is insensitive to the ABO weak antigen-antibody reaction. The inventor found that the reason for the insensitivity is that the gel card can only be centrifuged once to see the results and cannot be enhanced by repeated centrifugation.
- Hemolytic disease of the newborn refers to the incompatibility of the blood types of mother and baby.
- the fetus's red blood cells circulate in the mother's body, and the fetus's red blood cell circulation promotes the production of IgG antibodies in the mother's body.
- This IgG antibody can act on the fetus's red blood cells through the maternal placenta, causing different degrees of hemolysis.
- the incidence of HDN caused by ABO blood type incompatibility and RhD blood type incompatibility is relatively high. Therefore, dynamic monitoring of maternal IgG antibody titers during pregnancy is of great significance for early intervention and treatment of the disease.
- test tube method is a manual operation with a complicated operation process, and the accuracy of the results is greatly affected by human factors.

- the present invention provides a blood testing microfluidic chip suitable for ABO blood type reverse typing detection and HDN pregnant women blood type IgG antibody titer detection.
- the blood testing microfluidic chip of the present application has a "micro-total analysis" function. Unlike the test tube method and micro-gel method, which require multiple steps and multiple vessels to complete, the present application completes the processes of mixing, entering the reaction chamber, centrifugal acceleration reaction, stopping centrifugation and standing, and displaying the reaction results in a separation detection unit of a blood testing microfluidic chip, which simplifies the operation process and provides the conditions for the realization of a miniaturized, fully automated, high-throughput matching analyzer.

Under the action of centrifugal force, the first microfluid in the first sample loading chamber flows into the first inlet of the Y-shaped microfluidic channel through the first L-shaped microfluidic channel. The second microfluid in the second sample loading chamber flows into the second inlet of the Y-shaped microfluidic channel through the second L-shaped microfluidic channel.
- the present application utilizes a pipeline geometric intersection design, by setting an L-shaped microfluidic channel with a pipeline intersection characteristic and setting a vertical microfluidic channel of the L-shaped microfluidic channel to intersect with the upper inlet microfluidic channel of the Y-shaped microfluidic channel in geometric space.
- the corresponding microfluid When different microfluids flow through the corresponding L-shaped microfluidic channel and the upper inlet microfluidic channel of the Y-shaped microfluidic channel respectively, the corresponding microfluid is first split into many microclusters, and then the upper mixing microfluidic channel of the Y-shaped microfluidic channel is used to promote the mixing between different microfluidic microclusters.
- the present invention applies the above mixing process to the mixing of red blood cell suspension and other fluids such as plasma, and utilizes the fluid mechanics principle inside the microfluidic chip to The red blood cell suspension and the plasma are fully mixed and reacted to meet the conditions of the immune agglutination reaction.
- the mixing method of the present application has the advantages of no carryover pollution, no need to add additional materials, no need for structures such as magnetic stirring modules, and is conducive to simplifying the structure of the supporting analyzer.
- the blood detection microfluidic chip of the present invention allows the immune agglutination reaction of weak antigen-antibody to be enhanced by repeated centrifugation, thereby improving the sensitivity of weak antigen-antibody reaction detection, that is, improving the sensitivity of ABO blood type system reverse typing identification.
- the red blood cell agglutination inside the gel card will be subjected to shear stress.
- the shear stress is greater than the affinity of the red blood cell antigen-antibody binding, the antibody-dependent red blood cell agglutination will be separated, resulting in a false negative test result.
- the micro-column gel method is limited to only interpreting the test results after a single centrifugation of the gel card. Although this method ensures the specificity of weak antigen-antibody reaction detection, it reduces the sensitivity of weak antigen-antibody reaction detection. Unlike the traditional micro-column gel method, if red blood cell antigen-antibody binding occurs in the blood detection microfluidic chip of the present application, during the centrifugation process, the red blood cell agglutination is not affected by the shear stress and is relatively stable, and there is no false negative risk in the micro-column gel method.
- the blood detection microfluidic chip of the present application allows repeated centrifugation to enhance the immune agglutination reaction of weak antigen-antibody. If an immune agglutination reaction occurs and the reaction is sufficient, under the action of centrifugal force, the red blood cells will agglutinate and settle to the inner wall of the reaction chamber. The red blood cell agglutination will not collapse and settle naturally after standing for a certain period of time, and will remain vertically attached to the wall of the reaction chamber. There is no visible sedimented red blood cell button at the bottom of the reaction chamber, indicating that the plasma contains red blood cell blood type antibodies, that is, the result is positive.
- red blood cells that have not undergone immune agglutination reactions will naturally collapse and settle, and gather at the center of the bottom of the reaction chamber along the inverted cone slope at the bottom of the reaction chamber to form a red blood cell button, indicating that there are no red blood cell blood type antibodies in the plasma, that is, the result is negative.
- the chip of the present invention When the chip of the present invention is used to detect the titer of blood type IgG antibodies in HDN pregnant women, since there is no shear stress in the microchannel and reaction chamber of the chip during the centrifugation process as in the gel microcolumn method, the method of detecting the titer of blood type IgG antibodies in HDN pregnant women using the chip of the present invention avoids the risk of false negative results in the gel microcolumn method.
- the present invention can use microscopic image photography plus artificial intelligence to judge whether an immune agglutination reaction has occurred, thereby reducing the influence of human factors on the judgment and simplifying the operation steps; at the same time, the image can be permanently stored for easy review, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results.
- the structure of the micro whole blood separation tank of the present application includes a plasma extraction groove and a straight tube groove connected to the plasma extraction groove.
- the micro whole blood separation function is provided while also having the function of measuring the hematocrit by the capillary method.
- By providing a scale mark for judging the hematocrit on the surface of the straight tube groove it is convenient to manually read the value of the hematocrit.

- the red blood cells that have not undergone immune agglutination reaction will also vertically adhere to the inner wall of the reaction detection chamber 170 due to centrifugal sedimentation.
- the red blood cells that have not undergone immune agglutination reaction will naturally collapse and settle due to gravity after being left still for a period of time, that is, a large number of non-agglutinated red blood cells will form at the bottom of the reaction detection chamber 170, indicating that the result is negative.

Abstract
Description
本发明涉及血液检测技术,具体涉及一种血液检测微流控芯片及其检测方法。The present invention relates to blood testing technology, and in particular to a blood testing microfluidic chip and a testing method thereof.
ABO血型系统是人类血型系统中抗原免疫性最强的一个血型系统。红细胞ABO血型鉴定试验,血清学分为正定型试验和反定型试验。其中,反定型试验是用A、B试剂红细胞检查血清中抗A抗体、抗B抗体,与正定型试验相互补充,提高ABO血型鉴定的准确性。常用的方法有玻片法、试管法、微孔板法和微柱凝胶法。玻片法和试管法为手工法操作,操作过程复杂,结果的准确性受人为因素影响大,现已逐渐淘汰;微孔板法适用于大样本量分析,但需要配备大型自动加样仪,结果判断使用显微镜观察,准确性受人为因素影响大,临床输血科极少应用;微柱凝胶法是目前普遍采用的方法,但也存在以下局限性:①对ABO弱抗原抗体反应不敏感,发明人研究发现不敏感的原因是凝胶卡只能一次性离心看结果而不能通过反复离心的方法增强反应;②当红细胞抗原抗体结合强度弱,凝胶卡离心产生的切应力(Shear Force)超过亲合力时,抗体依赖的红细胞凝集就被分开,出现假阴性结果;③在运输过程中试剂凝胶容易变形和产生气泡,气温对凝胶分子筛的大小也会产生影响,从而对最终检测结果的稳定性和可靠性产生影响。上述局限性会导致微柱凝胶法的正、反定型不符合,此时,需要对样本做特殊处理以提高免疫凝集反应的灵敏度,或者换手工方法来进一步明确鉴定。The ABO blood group system is the blood group system with the strongest antigen immunity in the human blood group system. The red blood cell ABO blood group identification test is divided into positive typing test and reverse typing test in serology. Among them, the reverse typing test uses A and B reagent red blood cells to check the anti-A antibodies and anti-B antibodies in the serum, which complements the positive typing test to improve the accuracy of ABO blood group identification. Commonly used methods include the slide method, test tube method, microplate method and microcolumn gel method. The slide method and the test tube method are manual operations with complicated operation processes. The accuracy of the results is greatly affected by human factors and has been gradually eliminated. The microplate method is suitable for large sample volume analysis, but it needs to be equipped with a large automatic sampler. The results are judged by using a microscope. The accuracy is greatly affected by human factors and is rarely used in clinical transfusion departments. The microcolumn gel method is currently a commonly used method, but it also has the following limitations: ① It is insensitive to the ABO weak antigen-antibody reaction. The inventor found that the reason for the insensitivity is that the gel card can only be centrifuged once to see the results and cannot be enhanced by repeated centrifugation. ② When the red blood cell antigen-antibody binding strength is weak, the shear force generated by the centrifugation of the gel card exceeds the affinity, and the antibody-dependent red blood cell agglutination is separated, resulting in a false negative result; ③ During transportation, the reagent gel is easy to deform and produce bubbles, and the temperature will also affect the size of the gel molecular sieve, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of the final test results. The above limitations will lead to the inconsistency of the positive and negative stereotypes of the microcolumn gel method. At this time, the sample needs to be specially treated to improve the sensitivity of the immune agglutination reaction, or the manual method is used to further clarify the identification.
新生儿溶血病,简称HDN,指的是母婴的血型不合,母体内有胎儿的红细胞循环,胎儿的红细胞循环促进母体内产生IgG型的抗体,该种IgG型抗体能通过母体胎盘作用于胎儿的红细胞,造成其不同程度的溶血现象。临床上ABO血型不合及RhD血型不合导致的HDN发生率较高,因此,在孕期对母体进行IgG抗体效价的动态监测,对早期干预和治疗疾病有重要的意义。Hemolytic disease of the newborn, referred to as HDN, refers to the incompatibility of the blood types of mother and baby. The fetus's red blood cells circulate in the mother's body, and the fetus's red blood cell circulation promotes the production of IgG antibodies in the mother's body. This IgG antibody can act on the fetus's red blood cells through the maternal placenta, causing different degrees of hemolysis. Clinically, the incidence of HDN caused by ABO blood type incompatibility and RhD blood type incompatibility is relatively high. Therefore, dynamic monitoring of maternal IgG antibody titers during pregnancy is of great significance for early intervention and treatment of the disease.
目前临床实验室产前IgG抗体检测均采用抗人球蛋白试验测定法,该测定法适用于试管法和微柱凝胶法。试管法为手工法操作,操作过程复杂,结果的准确性受人为因素影响大。微柱凝胶法是目前临床实验室普遍采用的方法。但是,存在与微柱凝胶法用于ABO血型反定型检测相同的一些局限性,这些局限性包括:①当红细胞抗原抗体结合强度弱,凝胶卡离心产生的切应力(Shear Force)超过亲合力时,抗体依赖的红细胞凝集就被分开,出现假阴性结果;②在运输过程中试剂凝胶容易变形和产生气泡,气温对凝胶分子筛的大小也会产生影响,从而对最终检测结果的稳定性和可靠性产生影响。 At present, clinical laboratories use the anti-human globulin test method for prenatal IgG antibody detection, which is applicable to the test tube method and the microcolumn gel method. The test tube method is a manual operation with a complicated operation process, and the accuracy of the results is greatly affected by human factors. The microcolumn gel method is currently a commonly used method in clinical laboratories. However, there are some limitations that are the same as the microcolumn gel method for ABO blood type reverse typing detection. These limitations include: ① When the red blood cell antigen-antibody binding strength is weak and the shear force generated by the centrifugation of the gel card exceeds the affinity, the antibody-dependent red blood cell agglutination is separated, resulting in a false negative result; ② During transportation, the reagent gel is easily deformed and bubbles are generated, and the temperature will also affect the size of the gel molecular sieve, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of the final test results.

(1)本发明提供一种血液检测微流控芯片,适用于ABO血型反定型检测以及HDN孕妇血型IgG抗体效价检测。本申请的血液检测微流控芯片具有“微-全分析”功能,不同于试管法和微住凝胶法需要多步骤、多器皿完成,本申请将混合、进入反应腔、离心加速反应、停止离心静置、反应结果呈现等过程都在一个血液检测微流控芯片的一个分离检测单元内完成,简化了操作过程,为小型化、全自动化、高通量的配套分析仪提供了实现条件。(1) The present invention provides a blood testing microfluidic chip suitable for ABO blood type reverse typing detection and HDN pregnant women blood type IgG antibody titer detection. The blood testing microfluidic chip of the present application has a "micro-total analysis" function. Unlike the test tube method and micro-gel method, which require multiple steps and multiple vessels to complete, the present application completes the processes of mixing, entering the reaction chamber, centrifugal acceleration reaction, stopping centrifugation and standing, and displaying the reaction results in a separation detection unit of a blood testing microfluidic chip, which simplifies the operation process and provides the conditions for the realization of a miniaturized, fully automated, high-throughput matching analyzer.
(2)本发明通过微量全血样本即可完成检测。微量全血分离槽的容积设定为50~100ul,样品进样量为40~80ul,能够很好地解决采血困难者尤其是新生儿的适用性,同时有利于节约试剂成本。(2) The present invention can complete the detection with a micro-amount of whole blood sample. The volume of the micro-amount whole blood separation tank is set to 50-100ul, and the sample injection volume is 40-80ul, which can well solve the applicability of those who have difficulty in blood collection, especially newborns, and is also conducive to saving reagent costs.
(3)本发明的血液检测微流控芯片属于离心式微流控芯片,其设置有L型微流道和Y型微流道。在离心力的作用下,第一加样腔的第一微流体经过第一L型微流道流入Y型微流道的第一进样口。第二加样腔的第二微流体经过第二L型微流道流入Y型微流道的第二进样口。第一微流体与第二微流体在Y型微流道内混合后,形成第一混合物,第一混合物经Y型微流道的流出口流出至反应检测腔。本申请利用管路几何交叉设计,通过设置自身具有管路交叉特性的L型微流道以及设置L型微流道的垂直微流道与Y型微流道的上层入口微流道在几何空间上相交叉,当不同的微流体分别依次流经对应的L型微流道以及Y型微流道的上层入口微流道时,对应的微流体先分裂成许多微团,再通过Y型微流道的上层混合微流道来促进不同的微流体微团之间的混合。本申请将上述混合过程应用于红细胞悬液与其他流体例如血浆的混匀,利用微流控芯片内部的流体力学原 理,使得红细胞悬液与血浆之间充分混合并反应,以满足免疫凝集反应的条件。相较于其他混匀方式例如磁力搅拌等,本申请的混匀方式具有无携带污染、不需要增添额外材料、无需如磁力搅拌模块等结构、利于简化配套分析仪的结构等优点。(3) The blood detection microfluidic chip of the present invention belongs to a centrifugal microfluidic chip, which is provided with an L-shaped microfluidic channel and a Y-shaped microfluidic channel. Under the action of centrifugal force, the first microfluid in the first sample loading chamber flows into the first inlet of the Y-shaped microfluidic channel through the first L-shaped microfluidic channel. The second microfluid in the second sample loading chamber flows into the second inlet of the Y-shaped microfluidic channel through the second L-shaped microfluidic channel. After the first microfluid and the second microfluid are mixed in the Y-shaped microfluidic channel, a first mixture is formed, and the first mixture flows out to the reaction detection chamber through the outlet of the Y-shaped microfluidic channel. The present application utilizes a pipeline geometric intersection design, by setting an L-shaped microfluidic channel with a pipeline intersection characteristic and setting a vertical microfluidic channel of the L-shaped microfluidic channel to intersect with the upper inlet microfluidic channel of the Y-shaped microfluidic channel in geometric space. When different microfluids flow through the corresponding L-shaped microfluidic channel and the upper inlet microfluidic channel of the Y-shaped microfluidic channel respectively, the corresponding microfluid is first split into many microclusters, and then the upper mixing microfluidic channel of the Y-shaped microfluidic channel is used to promote the mixing between different microfluidic microclusters. The present invention applies the above mixing process to the mixing of red blood cell suspension and other fluids such as plasma, and utilizes the fluid mechanics principle inside the microfluidic chip to The red blood cell suspension and the plasma are fully mixed and reacted to meet the conditions of the immune agglutination reaction. Compared with other mixing methods such as magnetic stirring, the mixing method of the present application has the advantages of no carryover pollution, no need to add additional materials, no need for structures such as magnetic stirring modules, and is conducive to simplifying the structure of the supporting analyzer.
(4)本发明的血液检测微流控芯片允许通过反复离心的方法来增强弱抗原抗体的免疫凝集反应,进而提高了对弱抗原抗体反应检测的敏感性,即提高了ABO血型系统反定型鉴定的灵敏度。在传统的微住凝胶法中,在离心力的作用下,凝胶卡内部的红细胞凝集会受到切应力,当该切应力大于红细胞抗原抗体结合的亲合力时,抗体依赖的红细胞凝集将被分开,导致假阴性的检测结果。为了避免假阴性的检测结果,微柱凝胶法限定只通过对凝胶卡采取一次性离心后判读检测结果。这种方式虽然保障了对弱抗原抗体反应检测的特异性,但是降低了对弱抗原抗体反应检测的敏感性。不同于传统的微住凝胶法,本申请的血液检测微流控芯片内若发生红细胞抗原抗体结合,在离心过程中,红细胞凝集未受到切应力的影响而相对稳定,不存在微柱凝胶法中的假阴性风险,因此,本申请的血液检测微流控芯片允许通过反复离心以增强弱抗原抗体的免疫凝集反应。若发生免疫凝集反应并且反应充分,在离心力作用下,红细胞凝集沉降粘附于反应腔内侧壁。红细胞凝集在静置一定时间内不会发生自然坍塌沉降,保持垂直贴附于反应腔壁。反应腔底部无可见的沉降红细胞扣,表示血浆中含有红细胞血型抗体,即结果为阳性。若未发生免疫凝集反应,撤去离心力并静置一段时间,未发生免疫凝集反应的红细胞自然坍塌沉降,并沿反应腔底部倒圆锥斜坡聚集于反应腔底部中心,形成红细胞扣,表示血浆中无红细胞血型抗体,即结果为阴性。(4) The blood detection microfluidic chip of the present invention allows the immune agglutination reaction of weak antigen-antibody to be enhanced by repeated centrifugation, thereby improving the sensitivity of weak antigen-antibody reaction detection, that is, improving the sensitivity of ABO blood type system reverse typing identification. In the traditional micro-column gel method, under the action of centrifugal force, the red blood cell agglutination inside the gel card will be subjected to shear stress. When the shear stress is greater than the affinity of the red blood cell antigen-antibody binding, the antibody-dependent red blood cell agglutination will be separated, resulting in a false negative test result. In order to avoid false negative test results, the micro-column gel method is limited to only interpreting the test results after a single centrifugation of the gel card. Although this method ensures the specificity of weak antigen-antibody reaction detection, it reduces the sensitivity of weak antigen-antibody reaction detection. Unlike the traditional micro-column gel method, if red blood cell antigen-antibody binding occurs in the blood detection microfluidic chip of the present application, during the centrifugation process, the red blood cell agglutination is not affected by the shear stress and is relatively stable, and there is no false negative risk in the micro-column gel method. Therefore, the blood detection microfluidic chip of the present application allows repeated centrifugation to enhance the immune agglutination reaction of weak antigen-antibody. If an immune agglutination reaction occurs and the reaction is sufficient, under the action of centrifugal force, the red blood cells will agglutinate and settle to the inner wall of the reaction chamber. The red blood cell agglutination will not collapse and settle naturally after standing for a certain period of time, and will remain vertically attached to the wall of the reaction chamber. There is no visible sedimented red blood cell button at the bottom of the reaction chamber, indicating that the plasma contains red blood cell blood type antibodies, that is, the result is positive. If no immune agglutination reaction occurs, the centrifugal force is removed and the reaction is left to stand for a period of time. The red blood cells that have not undergone immune agglutination reactions will naturally collapse and settle, and gather at the center of the bottom of the reaction chamber along the inverted cone slope at the bottom of the reaction chamber to form a red blood cell button, indicating that there are no red blood cell blood type antibodies in the plasma, that is, the result is negative.
(5)当采用本发明的芯片对HDN孕妇血型IgG抗体效价进行检测时,由于离心过程中,该芯片的微流道以及反应腔内不存在凝胶微柱法中的切应力,所以利用本发明的芯片对HDN孕妇血型IgG抗体效价进行检测的方法避免了凝胶微柱法出现假阴性结果的风险。(5) When the chip of the present invention is used to detect the titer of blood type IgG antibodies in HDN pregnant women, since there is no shear stress in the microchannel and reaction chamber of the chip during the centrifugation process as in the gel microcolumn method, the method of detecting the titer of blood type IgG antibodies in HDN pregnant women using the chip of the present invention avoids the risk of false negative results in the gel microcolumn method.
(6)当采用本发明的芯片对HDN孕妇血型IgG抗体效价进行检测时,反应检测腔内可以预置有抗人球蛋白多抗冻干球。冻干球试剂在常温环境下的稳定性比液体试剂的稳定性更好,由此,运输过程及温度对芯片性能稳定性影响较小。(6) When the chip of the present invention is used to detect the titer of IgG antibody in HDN pregnant women, anti-human globulin polyclonal freeze-dried balls can be pre-placed in the reaction detection chamber. The stability of freeze-dried ball reagents at room temperature is better than that of liquid reagents. Therefore, the transportation process and temperature have little effect on the stability of chip performance.
(7)本发明对是否发生免疫凝集反应的判读方式可以采用显微图像摄影加人工智能判断,减少人为因素对判读的影响,简化操作步骤;同时图像可永久性保存便于复核,提高检测结果的准确性。(7) The present invention can use microscopic image photography plus artificial intelligence to judge whether an immune agglutination reaction has occurred, thereby reducing the influence of human factors on the judgment and simplifying the operation steps; at the same time, the image can be permanently stored for easy review, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results.
(8)本申请的微量全血分离槽的结构包括血浆提取凹槽以及与血浆提取凹槽连通的直管凹槽。通过设置直管凹槽,在具有微量全血分离功能的同时还具有利用毛细管法测定红细胞压积的功能。通过在直管凹槽的表面设置有用于判读红细胞压积的刻度标识,便于人工读取红细胞压积的数值, 以作为输血时的参考依据。(8) The structure of the micro whole blood separation tank of the present application includes a plasma extraction groove and a straight tube groove connected to the plasma extraction groove. By providing the straight tube groove, the micro whole blood separation function is provided while also having the function of measuring the hematocrit by the capillary method. By providing a scale mark for judging the hematocrit on the surface of the straight tube groove, it is convenient to manually read the value of the hematocrit. As a reference for blood transfusion.

使用本实施例的血液检测微流控芯片对ABO血型进行反定型检测的检测方法包括以下步骤:The detection method for reverse typing detection of ABO blood type using the blood detection microfluidic chip of this embodiment comprises the following steps:
步骤一:微量全血分离槽110接收待测的微量全血样本。Step 1: The micro whole blood separation tank 110 receives the micro whole blood sample to be tested.
步骤二:在离心力作用下,待测的微量全血样本中的红细胞与血浆分离,分离后得到的红细胞向直管凹槽112远离芯片中心位置的一端沉积,血浆的第一部分容纳于血浆提取凹槽111内,血浆的第二部分容纳于直管凹槽112靠近芯片中心的一侧。Step 2: Under the action of centrifugal force, the red blood cells and plasma in the trace whole blood sample to be tested are separated, and the separated red blood cells are deposited on the end of the straight tube groove 112 away from the center of the chip, the first part of the plasma is contained in the plasma extraction groove 111, and the second part of the plasma is contained on the side of the straight tube groove 112 close to the center of the chip.
步骤三:离心结束后,吸取血浆提取凹槽111中的血浆并将其转移至各反应测试单元的第一加样腔120。各反应测试单元的第二加样腔140接收相应的红细胞试剂。Step 3: After centrifugation, the plasma in the plasma extraction groove 111 is sucked and transferred to the first sample loading chamber 120 of each reaction test unit. The second sample loading chamber 140 of each reaction test unit receives the corresponding red blood cell reagent.
步骤四:在离心力作用下,第一加样腔120的血浆经过第一L型微流道130流入Y型微流道160的第一进样口161;第二加样腔140的红细胞试剂经过第二L型微流道150流入Y型微流道160的第二进样口162。在离心力作用下,血浆与红细胞试剂在Y型微流道160内混合后,形成第一混合物,第一混合物经Y型微流道160的流出口163流出至反应检测腔170并在对应的反应检测腔170内充分反应1~5min。离心力的作用可缩短红细胞之间的距离,促进抗体与红细胞抗原的免疫凝集反应,增强免疫凝集反应强度。Step 4: Under the action of centrifugal force, the plasma in the first sample loading chamber 120 flows into the first sample inlet 161 of the Y-type microfluidic channel 160 through the first L-type microfluidic channel 130; the red blood cell reagent in the second sample loading chamber 140 flows into the second sample inlet 162 of the Y-type microfluidic channel 160 through the second L-type microfluidic channel 150. Under the action of centrifugal force, the plasma and the red blood cell reagent are mixed in the Y-type microfluidic channel 160 to form a first mixture, which flows out of the outlet 163 of the Y-type microfluidic channel 160 to the reaction detection chamber 170 and fully reacts in the corresponding reaction detection chamber 170 for 1 to 5 minutes. The action of centrifugal force can shorten the distance between red blood cells, promote the immune agglutination reaction of antibodies and red blood cell antigens, and enhance the strength of the immune agglutination reaction.
步骤五:控制所述血液检测微流控芯片停止转动,静置,判读得到检测结果。Step 5: Control the blood detection microfluidic chip to stop rotating, let it stand still, and read the detection result.
在本实施例中,各反应检测腔170内是否发生免疫凝集反应的判读原理如下:若待测的血浆中血型抗体与红细胞试剂中的血型抗原发生免疫凝集反应,形成红细胞凝块。在离心力的作用下,红细胞凝块会因离心沉降垂直贴附于反应检测腔170内侧壁。控制所述血液检测微流控芯片停止转动 后,在芯片本体静置状态下,红细胞凝块在一定时间内不会发生自然坍塌,即保持黏附于反应检测腔170内侧壁上一定时间。反应检测腔170腔底没有未凝集的红细胞,代表结果为阳性。In this embodiment, the principle of judging whether an immune agglutination reaction occurs in each reaction detection chamber 170 is as follows: if the blood type antibody in the plasma to be tested reacts with the blood type antigen in the red blood cell reagent to form a red blood cell clot, the red blood cell clot will adhere vertically to the inner wall of the reaction detection chamber 170 due to centrifugal sedimentation under the action of centrifugal force. Afterwards, when the chip body is in a static state, the red blood cell clot will not collapse naturally within a certain period of time, that is, it will remain adhered to the inner wall of the reaction detection chamber 170 for a certain period of time. There are no unagglutinated red blood cells at the bottom of the reaction detection chamber 170, indicating that the result is positive.
若待测的血浆中血型抗体与红细胞试剂中的血型抗原未发生免疫凝集反应,在离心力的作用下,未发生免疫凝集反应的红细胞也会由于离心沉降垂直贴附于反应检测腔170内侧壁。但是,不同于红细胞凝块,未发生免疫凝集反应的红细胞在静置一段时间后会由于重力作用发生自然坍塌沉降,即反应检测腔170腔底形成有大量未凝集的红细胞,代表结果为阴性。If the blood type antibodies in the plasma to be tested do not undergo immune agglutination reaction with the blood type antigens in the red blood cell reagent, under the action of centrifugal force, the red blood cells that have not undergone immune agglutination reaction will also vertically adhere to the inner wall of the reaction detection chamber 170 due to centrifugal sedimentation. However, unlike red blood cell clots, the red blood cells that have not undergone immune agglutination reaction will naturally collapse and settle due to gravity after being left still for a period of time, that is, a large number of non-agglutinated red blood cells will form at the bottom of the reaction detection chamber 170, indicating that the result is negative.
对于ABO血型和Rh弱D抗原,在一次离心后的静置过程中,反应检测腔170腔底的红细胞沉降量或者沉降速度明显少于对照反应腔。该对照反应腔是指加有O型红细胞试剂的反应测试单元中的反应检测腔。此时,本申请的芯片可以通过重复2–3次离心,以直接增强免疫凝集反应。相较于凝胶法,本申请的芯片能够通过反复离心提高对免疫凝集反应检测的敏感性,以避免传统的微柱凝胶法因抗体较弱导致的正反定型不符合的情况。For ABO blood type and Rh weak D antigen, during the static process after one centrifugation, the amount of red blood cell sedimentation or sedimentation speed at the bottom of the reaction detection chamber 170 is significantly less than that of the control reaction chamber. The control reaction chamber refers to the reaction detection chamber in the reaction test unit to which the O-type red blood cell reagent is added. At this time, the chip of the present application can directly enhance the immune agglutination reaction by repeating 2-3 centrifugation. Compared with the gel method, the chip of the present application can improve the sensitivity of immune agglutination reaction detection through repeated centrifugation to avoid the situation in which the positive and negative typing of the traditional microcolumn gel method is inconsistent due to weak antibodies.
在本实施例中,检测结果可以通过肉眼判读获得或者通过显微摄影并结合人工智能分析获得。相较于肉眼判断,显微摄影并结合人工智能分析的判断方式减少了人为因素的干扰,并因图像可永久保存而允许复核,进而有助于提高检测结果的准确性。In this embodiment, the test results can be obtained by naked eye interpretation or by microscopic photography combined with artificial intelligence analysis. Compared with naked eye judgment, the judgment method of microscopic photography combined with artificial intelligence analysis reduces the interference of human factors, and allows for review because the image can be permanently stored, which helps to improve the accuracy of the test results.
在本实施例中,由于反应检测腔170的底部设有锥形空腔,未凝集的红细胞聚集于圆锥顶点处,形成沉降红细胞扣。沉降红细胞扣提供了更清晰易读、更灵敏精准的判读方式。In this embodiment, since the bottom of the reaction detection chamber 170 is provided with a conical cavity, the unagglutinated red blood cells gather at the apex of the cone to form a sedimented red blood cell button. The sedimented red blood cell button provides a clearer, easier to read, more sensitive and accurate interpretation method.

图9给出了图8所示的芯片本体1中的第二分离检测单元102的局部放大图,其中虚线区域代表一个分离检测单元。如图9所示,不同于实施例1,在本实施例的各第二分离检测单元102中,反应测试单元的数量为六个。并且,本实施例的芯片本体1还包括与各反应测试单元一一对应设置的血浆倍比稀释预处理槽180a、180b、180c、180d、180e、180f,用于制备一系列不同稀释倍数的血浆,以便使用者在使用本实施例的芯片时,无须另行准备血浆倍比稀释液制备试管,同时有助于节省耗材。通常,2、4、8、16、32、64等稀释倍数的血浆用于抗Rh血型IgG抗体效价测定,64、128、256、512、1024、2048等稀释倍数的血浆用于抗A、抗B血型IgG抗体效价测定。FIG9 shows a partial enlarged view of the second separation detection unit 102 in the chip body 1 shown in FIG8, wherein the dotted area represents a separation detection unit. As shown in FIG9, unlike Example 1, in each second separation detection unit 102 of this embodiment, the number of reaction test units is six. In addition, the chip body 1 of this embodiment also includes plasma multiple dilution pretreatment tanks 180a, 180b, 180c, 180d, 180e, 180f, which are arranged one by one with each reaction test unit, for preparing a series of plasmas with different dilution multiples, so that when the user uses the chip of this embodiment, there is no need to prepare plasma multiple dilution liquid preparation test tubes separately, and it helps to save consumables. Usually, plasmas with dilution multiples of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc. are used for anti-Rh blood type IgG antibody titer determination, and plasmas with dilution multiples of 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc. are used for anti-A and anti-B blood type IgG antibody titer determination.
在本实施例中,各反应测试单元的第二加样腔140接收同一种红细胞试剂,同一种红细胞试剂为A型红细胞试剂、B型红细胞试剂或者O型RhD阳性红细胞试剂。A型红细胞试剂以及B型红细胞试剂适用于对ABO血型不符HDN血型IgG抗体效价检测。O型RhD阳性红细胞试剂适用于对Rh血型不符合HDN血型IgG抗体效价检测。In this embodiment, the second sample loading chamber 140 of each reaction test unit receives the same red blood cell reagent, which is an A-type red blood cell reagent, a B-type red blood cell reagent, or an O-type RhD positive red blood cell reagent. The A-type red blood cell reagent and the B-type red blood cell reagent are suitable for detecting the titer of IgG antibodies for ABO blood types that do not conform to the HDN blood type. The O-type RhD positive red blood cell reagent is suitable for detecting the titer of IgG antibodies for Rh blood types that do not conform to the HDN blood type.
具体地,首先根据父母双方的血型预测胎儿可能的血型,再通过选择相应的已知血型红细胞试剂来测定母体血液中相应的抗体。例如,若孕妇为A型RhD阴性,父亲为B型RhD阳性血型,则胎儿的血型可以是A型RhD阳性、A型RhD阴性、B型RhD阳性、B型RhD阴性、AB型RhD阳性、AB型RhD阴性、O型RhD阳性或者O型RhD阴性,这种情况下,需要分别选择B型红细胞试剂和O型RhD阳性红细胞试剂检测孕妇抗B及抗RhD抗体,即需要使用两个分离检测单元;若父亲是B型RhD阴性血型,则胎儿的血型可以是A型RhD阴性、B型RhD阴性、AB型RhD阴性或者O型RhD阴性,则只需选择B型红细胞试剂检测孕妇抗B抗体即可,即仅需要一个分离检测单元。Specifically, the possible blood type of the fetus is first predicted based on the blood types of both parents, and then the corresponding known blood type red blood cell reagent is selected to determine the corresponding antibodies in the maternal blood. For example, if the pregnant woman is type A RhD negative and the father is type B RhD positive, the blood type of the fetus can be type A RhD positive, type A RhD negative, type B RhD positive, type B RhD negative, type AB RhD positive, type AB RhD negative, type O RhD positive or type O RhD negative. In this case, it is necessary to select type B red blood cell reagent and type O RhD positive red blood cell reagent to detect the anti-B and anti-RhD antibodies of the pregnant woman, that is, two separation detection units are required; if the father is type B RhD negative, the blood type of the fetus can be type A RhD negative, type B RhD negative, type AB RhD negative or type O RhD negative, then it is only necessary to select type B red blood cell reagent to detect the anti-B antibodies of the pregnant woman, that is, only one separation detection unit is required.
如图7所示,在本实施例中,除了设置有微量全血分离槽注入孔201、第一加样腔注入孔202以及第二加样腔注入孔203,芯片上层2还设置有六个血浆倍比稀释预处理槽注入孔204a、204b、204c、204d、204e、204f。血浆倍比稀释预处理槽注入孔204a到204f依次布设于血浆倍比稀释预处理槽180a到180f的顶部,例如,血浆倍比稀释预处理槽注入孔204a位于血浆倍比稀释预处理槽180a的顶部,血浆倍比稀释预处理槽注入孔204b位于血浆倍比稀释预处理槽180b的顶部,其余类似对应。As shown in Fig. 7, in this embodiment, in addition to the micro-whole blood separation tank injection hole 201, the first sample loading chamber injection hole 202 and the second sample loading chamber injection hole 203, the chip upper layer 2 is also provided with six plasma multiple dilution pretreatment tank injection holes 204a, 204b, 204c, 204d, 204e, 204f. The plasma multiple dilution pretreatment tank injection holes 204a to 204f are sequentially arranged on the top of the plasma multiple dilution pretreatment tanks 180a to 180f, for example, the plasma multiple dilution pretreatment tank injection hole 204a is located at the top of the plasma multiple dilution pretreatment tank 180a, and the plasma multiple dilution pretreatment tank injection hole 204b is located at the top of the plasma multiple dilution pretreatment tank 180b, and the rest are similarly corresponding.
采用本实施例的血液检测微流控芯片对HDN孕妇血型IgG抗体效价进行检测的检测方法包括 以下步骤:The detection method of using the blood detection microfluidic chip of this embodiment to detect the blood type IgG antibody titer of HDN pregnant women includes: Follow these steps:
步骤一:微量全血分离槽110接收待测的微量全血样本。Step 1: The micro whole blood separation tank 110 receives the micro whole blood sample to be tested.
步骤二:在离心力作用下,待测的微量全血样本中的红细胞与血浆分离,分离后得到的红细胞向直管凹槽112远离芯片中心位置的一端沉积,血浆的第一部分容纳于血浆提取凹槽111内,血浆的第二部分容纳于直管凹槽112靠近芯片中心的一侧。Step 2: Under the action of centrifugal force, the red blood cells and plasma in the trace whole blood sample to be tested are separated, and the separated red blood cells are deposited on the end of the straight tube groove 112 away from the center of the chip, the first part of the plasma is contained in the plasma extraction groove 111, and the second part of the plasma is contained on the side of the straight tube groove 112 close to the center of the chip.
步骤三:离心结束后,吸取血浆提取凹槽111中的血浆并将其依次转移至各血浆倍比稀释预处理槽。Step 3: After the centrifugation is completed, the plasma in the plasma extraction groove 111 is sucked and transferred to each plasma multiple dilution pretreatment tank in sequence.
步骤四:用含有二硫苏糖醇DTT或二巯基乙醇2-ME稀释液对血浆倍比稀释预处理槽内的血浆作预处理,静置反应15~30min,以便破坏IgM型抗体活性。静置反应结束后,加入样本稀释液完成倍比稀释,得到倍比稀释血浆。样本稀释液可以是PBS(磷酸盐缓冲液)或生理盐水。Step 4: Pre-treat the plasma in the plasma dilution pre-treatment tank with a diluent containing dithiothreitol DTT or dithiothioethanol 2-ME, and let it stand for 15 to 30 minutes to destroy the activity of IgM antibodies. After the standing reaction is completed, add the sample diluent to complete the dilution to obtain the diluted plasma. The sample diluent can be PBS (phosphate buffered saline) or physiological saline.
步骤五:吸取各血浆倍比稀释预处理槽内的倍比稀释血浆并将其转移至对应的反应测试单元的第一加样腔120内;各反应测试单元的第二加样腔140接收红细胞试剂。Step 5: aspirate the diluted plasma in each plasma dilution pretreatment tank and transfer it to the first sample loading chamber 120 of the corresponding reaction test unit; the second sample loading chamber 140 of each reaction test unit receives the red blood cell reagent.
步骤六:在离心力作用下,在各反应测试单元中,第一加样腔120的倍比稀释血浆经过第一L型微流道130流入Y型微流道160的第一进样口161;第二加样腔140的红细胞试剂经过第二L型微流道150流入Y型微流道160的第二进样口162;在离心力作用下,倍比稀释血浆与红细胞试剂在Y型微流道160内混合后,形成第一混合物,第一混合物经Y型微流道160的流出口163流出至反应检测腔170并在反应检测腔170内充分反应1~5min。Step 6: Under the action of centrifugal force, in each reaction test unit, the doubly diluted plasma in the first sample loading chamber 120 flows into the first injection port 161 of the Y-type microfluidic channel 160 through the first L-type microfluidic channel 130; the red blood cell reagent in the second sample loading chamber 140 flows into the second injection port 162 of the Y-type microfluidic channel 160 through the second L-type microfluidic channel 150; under the action of centrifugal force, the doubly diluted plasma and the red blood cell reagent are mixed in the Y-type microfluidic channel 160 to form a first mixture, and the first mixture flows out to the reaction detection chamber 170 through the outflow port 163 of the Y-type microfluidic channel 160 and fully reacts in the reaction detection chamber 170 for 1 to 5 minutes.
步骤七:控制所述血液检测微流控芯片停止转动,静置,判读得到检测结果。Step 7: Control the blood detection microfluidic chip to stop rotating, let it stand still, and read the detection result.
在本实施例中,各反应检测腔170内是否发生免疫凝集反应的判读原理与本申请的第一实施例中的判断原理相同。若倍比稀释血浆中的血型抗体与红细胞试剂中的血型抗原发生免疫凝集反应,形成红细胞凝块,在离心力的作用下,红细胞凝块会因离心沉降垂直贴附于反应检测腔170内侧壁。红细胞凝块在静置一定时间内不会发生自然坍塌,即保持黏附于反应检测腔170内侧壁。反应检测腔170腔底没有未凝集的红细胞,代表结果为阳性。In this embodiment, the judgment principle of whether an immune agglutination reaction occurs in each reaction detection chamber 170 is the same as the judgment principle in the first embodiment of the present application. If the blood type antibodies in the diluted plasma react with the blood type antigens in the red blood cell reagent to form red blood cell clots, the red blood cell clots will adhere vertically to the inner wall of the reaction detection chamber 170 due to centrifugal sedimentation under the action of centrifugal force. The red blood cell clots will not collapse naturally after being left standing for a certain period of time, that is, they will remain adhered to the inner wall of the reaction detection chamber 170. There are no unagglutinated red blood cells at the bottom of the reaction detection chamber 170, indicating that the result is positive.
若倍比稀释血浆中的血型抗体与红细胞试剂中的血型抗原未发生免疫凝集反应,在离心力的作用下,未发生免疫凝集反应的红细胞也会由于离心沉降垂直贴附于反应检测腔170内侧壁,但是,不同于红细胞凝块,未发生免疫凝集反应的红细胞在静置一段时间后会由于重力作用发生自然坍塌沉降,即反应检测腔170腔底形成有未凝集的红细胞,代表结果为阴性。以最高倍比稀释的血浆样本未发生免疫凝集反应的稀释倍数的倒数作为特定血型抗原的血型IgG抗体效价。If the blood type antibodies in the diluted plasma do not undergo an immune agglutination reaction with the blood type antigens in the red blood cell reagent, under the action of centrifugal force, the red blood cells that do not undergo an immune agglutination reaction will also vertically adhere to the inner wall of the reaction detection chamber 170 due to centrifugal sedimentation. However, unlike red blood cell clots, the red blood cells that do not undergo an immune agglutination reaction will naturally collapse and settle due to gravity after standing for a period of time, that is, non-agglutinated red blood cells are formed at the bottom of the reaction detection chamber 170, indicating a negative result. The reciprocal of the dilution multiple at which the plasma sample with the highest multiple dilution does not undergo an immune agglutination reaction is used as the blood type IgG antibody titer of the specific blood type antigen.
在本实施例中,各反应测试单元的反应检测腔170内可以预置有抗人球蛋白多抗冻干球。冻干球试剂在常温环境下的稳定性比液体试剂的稳定性更好。抗人球蛋白抗体作为第二抗体达到桥梁的 作用,链接与红细胞抗原结合的特异性抗体,使红细胞凝集。In this embodiment, the reaction detection chamber 170 of each reaction test unit may be pre-installed with anti-human globulin polyclonal antibody freeze-dried beads. The stability of freeze-dried ball reagents at room temperature is better than that of liquid reagents. Anti-human globulin antibodies are used as the second antibody to achieve the purpose of bridge It acts by linking specific antibodies that bind to red blood cell antigens, causing red blood cells to agglutinate.
在本实施例中,反应检测腔170的底部也可以设有锥形空腔。未凝集的红细胞聚集于圆锥顶点处,形成沉降红细胞扣。沉降红细胞扣提供了更清晰易读、更灵敏精准的判读方式。In this embodiment, a conical cavity may also be provided at the bottom of the reaction detection chamber 170. Unagglutinated red blood cells gather at the apex of the cone to form a sedimented red blood cell button. The sedimented red blood cell button provides a clearer, easier to read, more sensitive and accurate interpretation method.
