The inkjet cavity layer 231 includes a first surface 2311 and a second surface 2312 arranged opposite to each other, and at least one liquid adding cavity 233 is formed through the first surface 2311 and the second surface 2312. Specifically, the nozzle can be divided into a liquid outlet 235 located on the second surface 2312, and the liquid adding cavity 233 is connected to the biochemical reaction cavity 250 through the liquid outlet 235. The first driving structure 232 is superimposed on the first surface 2311 and covers the liquid adding cavity 233, that is, the first driving structure 232 can cover the opening of the liquid adding cavity 233 located on the first surface 2311. The first driving structure 232 can drive the reagent located in the liquid adding cavity 233 to enter the biochemical reaction cavity 250 through the liquid outlet 235. It is understandable that a negative pressure can be maintained in the liquid adding chamber 233 by adding a negative pressure air circuit (not shown) to communicate with the liquid adding chamber 233. When no liquid addition is needed, the reagent can be kept in the liquid adding chamber 233 without leaking out from the liquid outlet 235.

请再次参阅图3,第一驱动结构232可以采用压电式喷墨打印技术实现加液腔232内试剂喷印至生化反应腔250内,压电式喷墨打印技术是利用压电陶瓷(piezoelectric ceramic)因施加电压而产生形变,挤压液体产生高压将液体喷出。在一些实施例中,第一 驱动结构232包括位于所述第一表面2311上的第一形变层2321、以及位于第一形变层2321上的第一电极层2323,第一形变层2321能够在第一电极层2323的控制下变形以挤压位于加液腔233内的试剂,从而使试剂从出液口235流出并进入所述生化反应腔250内。喷墨芯片230的加液原理是通过第一电极层2323施加电压至第一形变层2321,由于第一形变层2321的材质可以为压电陶瓷(piezoelectric ceramic),故第一形变层2321会受到电压的影响而产生瞬间形变,此时可以控制第一形变层2321向加液腔233内凸起,因此,通过此瞬间形变以挤压加液腔233之中的试剂,并从出液口235将试剂高压喷射出以形成液滴,从而喷印到生物芯片210的相应位置上。通过微压电的方式,实现试剂样品的喷印,可以精确控制喷印试剂液滴的体积,从而减少试剂损耗。Please refer to FIG. 3 again. The first driving structure 232 can use piezoelectric inkjet printing technology to print the reagent in the liquid adding chamber 232 into the biochemical reaction chamber 250. The piezoelectric inkjet printing technology uses piezoelectric ceramics to deform due to the application of voltage, squeeze the liquid to generate high pressure and spray the liquid. In some embodiments, the first The driving structure 232 includes a first deformable layer 2321 located on the first surface 2311, and a first electrode layer 2323 located on the first deformable layer 2321. The first deformable layer 2321 can be deformed under the control of the first electrode layer 2323 to squeeze the reagent in the liquid adding chamber 233, so that the reagent flows out from the liquid outlet 235 and enters the biochemical reaction chamber 250. The liquid adding principle of the inkjet chip 230 is to apply a voltage to the first deformable layer 2321 through the first electrode layer 2323. Since the material of the first deformable layer 2321 can be piezoelectric ceramic, the first deformable layer 2321 will be affected by the voltage and produce instantaneous deformation. At this time, the first deformable layer 2321 can be controlled to bulge into the liquid adding chamber 233. Therefore, the reagent in the liquid adding chamber 233 is squeezed through this instantaneous deformation, and the reagent is ejected from the liquid outlet 235 at high pressure to form droplets, so as to be sprayed onto the corresponding position of the biochip 210. By using micro-piezoelectric technology to print reagent samples, the volume of the printed reagent droplets can be precisely controlled, thereby reducing reagent loss.

可以理解的,在其他实施例中,如图4所示,该第一驱动结构232还可以采用热发泡式喷墨打印技术实现液体的喷涂,该第一驱动结构232还可以包括一加热器,加热器在通电后会产生热量,将位于加液腔233内的试剂加热,从而产生气泡,气泡将试剂液滴从出液口235挤出,实现喷印的目的。It can be understood that in other embodiments, as shown in Figure 4, the first driving structure 232 can also use thermal bubble inkjet printing technology to achieve liquid spraying. The first driving structure 232 can also include a heater. The heater will generate heat after power is turned on to heat the reagent in the liquid adding chamber 233, thereby generating bubbles. The bubbles squeeze the reagent droplets out of the liquid outlet 235 to achieve the purpose of printing.

At least one drainage cavity 234 is formed through the first surface 2311 and the second surface 2312 of the inkjet cavity layer 231. Specifically, the nozzle can also be divided into a drainage port 236 located on the second surface 2312. The drainage cavity 234 is connected to the biochemical reaction chamber 250 through the drainage port 236. The inkjet chip 230 also includes a second driving structure 237 stacked on the first surface 2311. The second driving structure 237 covers the drainage cavity 234, that is, the second driving structure 237 covers the opening of the drainage cavity 234 located on the first surface 2311. The second driving structure 237 is used to form a negative pressure in the drainage cavity 234, so as to discharge the residual reagents after the reaction in the biochemical reaction chamber 250 is completed into the drainage cavity 234.

在一些实施例中,如图5所示,第二驱动结构237可以包括位于所述第一表面2311上的第二形变层2371、以及位于第二形变层2371上的第二电极层2373,第二形变层2371用于在第二电极层2373的控制下变形以使排液腔234内形成负压,进而使位于所述生化反应腔250内的所述残余试剂在负压作用下通过排液口236进入排液腔234内。在一些实施例中,第二形变层2371的材质同样为压电陶瓷,故第二形变层2371会受到电压的影响而产生瞬间形变,此时可以控制第二形变层2371沿背离排液腔234的方向凸起,通过此瞬间形变可以使排液腔234的体积变大,内部形成负压,从而使生化反应腔250内的残余试剂在负压的吸附作用下经由排液口236进入排液腔234内。可以理解的,排液腔234还与废液收集装置292连通,从而将排入排液腔234内的残余试剂排入废液收集装置292内。在一些实施例中,如图6所示,喷墨芯片230还具有与排液腔234连通的吸液口238,吸入排液腔234的残余试剂经过吸液口238排出一体化载片200, 可以理解的,一并结合参阅图1,吸液口238可以连通废液收集装置292,进一步将残余试剂排入废液收集装置292中。In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5 , the second driving structure 237 may include a second deformable layer 2371 located on the first surface 2311, and a second electrode layer 2373 located on the second deformable layer 2371. The second deformable layer 2371 is used to deform under the control of the second electrode layer 2373 to form a negative pressure in the drainage chamber 234, thereby allowing the residual reagent in the biochemical reaction chamber 250 to enter the drainage chamber 234 through the drainage port 236 under the action of the negative pressure. In some embodiments, the material of the second deformable layer 2371 is also piezoelectric ceramics, so the second deformable layer 2371 will be affected by the voltage and produce instantaneous deformation. At this time, the second deformable layer 2371 can be controlled to bulge in the direction away from the drainage chamber 234. Through this instantaneous deformation, the volume of the drainage chamber 234 can be enlarged, and a negative pressure is formed inside, so that the residual reagent in the biochemical reaction chamber 250 enters the drainage chamber 234 through the drainage port 236 under the adsorption of the negative pressure. It can be understood that the drainage chamber 234 is also connected to the waste liquid collection device 292, so that the residual reagent discharged into the drainage chamber 234 is discharged into the waste liquid collection device 292. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6, the inkjet chip 230 also has a liquid suction port 238 connected to the drainage chamber 234, and the residual reagent sucked into the drainage chamber 234 is discharged from the integrated carrier 200 through the liquid suction port 238. It can be understood that, in conjunction with FIG. 1 , the liquid suction port 238 can be connected to the waste liquid collection device 292 to further discharge the residual reagent into the waste liquid collection device 292 .

可以理解的,在其他实施例中,第二驱动结构还可以是一真空负压装置(图未示),真空负压装置与排液腔234连通,在真空负压装置的作用下可以使排液腔234内形成负压,从而将所述生化反应腔250内的残余试剂吸走。另外,真空负压装置还可以与废液收集装置292连通,从而收集废液。It can be understood that in other embodiments, the second driving structure can also be a vacuum negative pressure device (not shown), which is connected to the drainage chamber 234. Under the action of the vacuum negative pressure device, negative pressure can be formed in the drainage chamber 234, thereby sucking away the residual reagents in the biochemical reaction chamber 250. In addition, the vacuum negative pressure device can also be connected to the waste liquid collection device 292 to collect waste liquid.

请再次参阅图2,喷墨腔体层231可以是多层结构,喷墨腔体层231包括衬底2313、叠设于衬底2313上的树脂层2314、以及叠设于衬底2313背离树脂层2314的表面上的喷嘴板2315,其中,树脂层2314背离衬底2313的表面构成第一表面2311,喷嘴板2315背离衬底2313的表面构成第二表面2312。可以理解的,树脂层2314可以是单层,也可以是多层。加液腔233对应树脂层2314的部分构成第一通孔2316,加液腔233对应衬底2313的部分构成第二通孔2317,加液腔233对应喷嘴板2315的部分构成出液口235,排液腔234对应喷嘴板2315的部分构成了排液口236。Please refer to FIG. 2 again. The inkjet cavity layer 231 may be a multi-layer structure. The inkjet cavity layer 231 includes a substrate 2313, a resin layer 2314 stacked on the substrate 2313, and a nozzle plate 2315 stacked on the surface of the substrate 2313 away from the resin layer 2314, wherein the surface of the resin layer 2314 away from the substrate 2313 constitutes a first surface 2311, and the surface of the nozzle plate 2315 away from the substrate 2313 constitutes a second surface 2312. It can be understood that the resin layer 2314 may be a single layer or a multi-layer. The portion of the liquid adding cavity 233 corresponding to the resin layer 2314 constitutes a first through hole 2316, the portion of the liquid adding cavity 233 corresponding to the substrate 2313 constitutes a second through hole 2317, the portion of the liquid adding cavity 233 corresponding to the nozzle plate 2315 constitutes a liquid outlet 235, and the portion of the liquid discharging cavity 234 corresponding to the nozzle plate 2315 constitutes a liquid discharging outlet 236.

在一些实施例中,沿喷墨腔体层231的延伸方向a,第一通孔2316、第二通孔2317和出液口235的内径依次减小,即出液口235的口径最小,可以更好限制液滴的流出速度,以更好地控制每次打印出液滴的体积。另外,出液口235的口径较小,在未操作加液时,在负压的作用下,可以更好地使试剂保持在加液腔233内。另外,将第一通孔2316的内径设计的相对较大,可以承载较多的试剂。In some embodiments, along the extension direction a of the inkjet cavity layer 231, the inner diameters of the first through hole 2316, the second through hole 2317 and the liquid outlet 235 decrease in sequence, that is, the liquid outlet 235 has the smallest caliber, which can better limit the outflow speed of the droplets to better control the volume of the droplets printed each time. In addition, the caliber of the liquid outlet 235 is small, and when the liquid is not added, under the action of negative pressure, the reagent can be better kept in the liquid addition cavity 233. In addition, the inner diameter of the first through hole 2316 is designed to be relatively large, so that more reagents can be carried.

在一些实施例中,位于排液口236周缘的喷嘴板2315朝向生化反应腔250凸起,凸起部将排液口236的侧壁沿厚度方向拉长,凸起部的设置有利于在排液时,生化反应腔250内残余试剂进入排液腔234。In some embodiments, the nozzle plate 2315 located at the periphery of the drainage port 236 protrudes toward the biochemical reaction chamber 250, and the protrusion stretches the side wall of the drainage port 236 along the thickness direction. The setting of the protrusion is conducive to the residual reagent in the biochemical reaction chamber 250 entering the drainage chamber 234 during drainage.

在一些实施例中,衬底2313的材质可以是硅,树脂层2314的材质可以是聚酰亚胺。在衬底2313上可以形成内径较小的第二通孔2317,可以通过化学蚀刻的方式在树脂层2314上形成内径较大的第一通孔2316。由于而树脂层2314通过蚀刻工艺可以成孔,相较于硅材质的衬底2313易于成孔,因此,可以根据实际需要需求精确控制第一通孔2316的内径,从而提高加液腔233体积控制的精准度,确保试剂量的精准。在一些实施例中,加液腔233的体积可以为9pL~50pL,示例性的,加液腔233的体积可以是9pL、10pL、15pL、20pL、25pL、30pL、35pL、40pL、45pL或50pL等。In some embodiments, the material of the substrate 2313 may be silicon, and the material of the resin layer 2314 may be polyimide. A second through hole 2317 with a smaller inner diameter may be formed on the substrate 2313, and a first through hole 2316 with a larger inner diameter may be formed on the resin layer 2314 by chemical etching. Since the resin layer 2314 can be formed into holes by etching, it is easier to form holes than the substrate 2313 made of silicon. Therefore, the inner diameter of the first through hole 2316 can be accurately controlled according to actual needs, thereby improving the accuracy of the volume control of the liquid adding chamber 233 and ensuring the accuracy of the reagent amount. In some embodiments, the volume of the liquid adding chamber 233 may be 9pL to 50pL. For example, the volume of the liquid adding chamber 233 may be 9pL, 10pL, 15pL, 20pL, 25pL, 30pL, 35pL, 40pL, 45pL or 50pL, etc.

The liquid storage structure 270 includes at least one first liquid storage cavity 271, and each first liquid storage cavity 271 is connected to at least one liquid adding cavity 233. In addition, the biochemical substance analysis system 1000 further includes a reagent storage box 291. The first liquid storage cavity 271 is connected to the reagent storage box 291. The reagent in the reagent storage box 291 can flow into the first liquid storage cavity 271 by gravity, and then further enter the liquid adding cavity 233 through the liquid inlet hole 239. In some embodiments, the first liquid storage cavity 271 is a closed cavity. When the liquid adding operation is not performed, the reagent in the first liquid storage cavity 271 and the liquid adding cavity 233 can be prevented from leaking out from the liquid outlet 235 through the negative pressure gas path.

其中,喷墨芯片230还包括与加液腔233连通的样本腔,所述样本腔用于容置待检测样本,具体地,所述待检测样本由所述第一驱动结构驱动经所述喷孔进入所述生化反应腔并由所述阵列位点固定。可以理解的,当储液结构270具有多个第一储液腔271时,可以将一个第一储液腔271作为样本腔,其他第一储液腔271作为试剂的存储腔。The inkjet chip 230 further includes a sample chamber connected to the liquid adding chamber 233, and the sample chamber is used to accommodate the sample to be detected. Specifically, the sample to be detected is driven by the first driving structure to enter the biochemical reaction chamber through the nozzle and is fixed by the array site. It can be understood that when the liquid storage structure 270 has multiple first liquid storage chambers 271, one first liquid storage chamber 271 can be used as a sample chamber, and the other first liquid storage chambers 271 can be used as storage chambers for reagents.

请参阅图7,一并结合参阅图1与图2,该喷墨芯片230包括多个并排设置的加液腔233,每个加液腔233对应设置一个第一驱动结构232和多个出液口235,此时,一个第一驱动结构232可以挤压位于该第一驱动结构232下方的加液腔233内的试剂,使试剂从多个出液口235同时喷出。多个第一驱动结构232可以电性连接至喷墨控制电路(图未示),从而实现多个第一驱动结构232的独立控制,以实现多个加液腔233的独立加样,此时,同一加液腔233内的试剂在第一驱动结构232的驱动下,从多个出液口235排出的液滴体积基本相同。每个加液腔233内可以储存一种试剂,从而可以实现多种试剂的同时喷印。每个加液腔233内的多个出液口235的设置方式可以根据生物芯片210上反应位点的排列形式进行设计,例如,每个加液腔233内的多个出液口235可以呈一直线排列,可以理解的,每个加液腔233内的多个出液口235还可以呈阵列排布。这样,多个并排设置的加液腔233内的出液口235形成微孔阵列,且可以根据生物芯片210中位点阵列的数量调整出液口235的数量。为了提高生化反应的效率,生物芯片210的通量较高,此时,喷墨芯片230的出液口235的密度可以设计的较高,相邻出液口235之间的间距可以设置的较小,例如可以在40微米左右,进而实现高密度打印。在一些实施例中,储液结构270被分隔成多个独立的第一储液腔271,每个第一储液腔271对应一个加液腔233,且通过一个进液孔239连通。Please refer to FIG. 7, and refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. The inkjet chip 230 includes a plurality of liquid adding chambers 233 arranged side by side, and each liquid adding chamber 233 is provided with a first driving structure 232 and a plurality of liquid outlets 235. At this time, a first driving structure 232 can squeeze the reagent in the liquid adding chamber 233 below the first driving structure 232, so that the reagent is ejected from the plurality of liquid outlets 235 at the same time. The plurality of first driving structures 232 can be electrically connected to the inkjet control circuit (not shown), so as to realize the independent control of the plurality of first driving structures 232, so as to realize the independent addition of the plurality of liquid adding chambers 233. At this time, the reagent in the same liquid adding chamber 233 is driven by the first driving structure 232, and the droplet volume discharged from the plurality of liquid outlets 235 is substantially the same. A reagent can be stored in each liquid adding chamber 233, so that the simultaneous printing of multiple reagents can be realized. The arrangement of the multiple liquid outlets 235 in each liquid adding cavity 233 can be designed according to the arrangement of the reaction sites on the biochip 210. For example, the multiple liquid outlets 235 in each liquid adding cavity 233 can be arranged in a straight line. It can be understood that the multiple liquid outlets 235 in each liquid adding cavity 233 can also be arranged in an array. In this way, the liquid outlets 235 in the multiple liquid adding cavities 233 arranged side by side form a micropore array, and the number of liquid outlets 235 can be adjusted according to the number of site arrays in the biochip 210. In order to improve the efficiency of the biochemical reaction, the flux of the biochip 210 is relatively high. At this time, the density of the liquid outlets 235 of the inkjet chip 230 can be designed to be relatively high, and the spacing between adjacent liquid outlets 235 can be set to be relatively small, for example, about 40 microns, thereby achieving high-density printing. In some embodiments, the liquid storage structure 270 is divided into a plurality of independent first liquid storage cavities 271, each of which corresponds to a liquid adding cavity 233 and is connected through a liquid inlet 239.

The biochemical reaction device 300 includes a heating cover 310, which includes a top wall 311 and a side wall 312 arranged at the periphery of the top wall 311. The side wall 312 forms an opening 313 at one end away from the top wall 311. The carrier 100 is used to cooperate with the heating cover 310 to seal the opening 313 to form a reaction chamber 10.

The reaction chamber 10 is formed by covering the heating cover 310 with the carrier 100, which can play a role in heat preservation and can also slow down the evaporation of reagents during the liquid addition and reaction process.

在一些实施例中,顶壁311包括储水腔体314,储水腔体314靠近反应腔室10的部分设有超声元件315,超声元件315用于使储水腔体314内的水雾化,并使雾化后的水汽传导至反应腔室10。通过在顶壁311的储水腔体314的下部埋覆超声元件315,例如压电雾化膜,能够将储水腔体314内的纯水雾化,雾化之后的水汽能够穿透压电雾化膜进一步进入反应腔室10内,进而降低喷墨过程中试剂的蒸发速率。In some embodiments, the top wall 311 includes a water storage cavity 314, and a portion of the water storage cavity 314 close to the reaction chamber 10 is provided with an ultrasonic element 315, which is used to atomize the water in the water storage cavity 314 and conduct the atomized water vapor to the reaction chamber 10.

Usually after a reagent reaction is completed, it is necessary to replace another reagent. At this time, it is necessary to use the liquid removal component 420 to remove the residual reagents after the previous step of the reaction, and then use the liquid addition component 410 to add another reagent.

请参阅图18与图19,一并结合参阅图14,该喷墨芯片430包括:叠设的喷墨腔体层431和驱动结构432,其中,喷墨腔体层431包括相对设置的第一表面4311与第二表面4312,驱动结构432位于第一表面4311上,驱动结构432与喷墨控制电路450电性连接。贯穿喷墨腔体层431的第一表面4311和第二表面4312形成至少一个加液腔435,加液腔435于第二表面4312构成了至少一个出液口436,加液腔435用于容置生化反应所需的试剂。可以通过增加负压气路(图未示)与加液腔435连通,从而使加液腔435内维持一定的负压,以使试剂保持在加液腔435内。驱动结构432在喷墨腔体层431的表面并将加液腔435与出液口436相对的开口覆盖住。驱动结构432能够在喷墨控制电路450的控制下发生变形,挤压加液腔435内的试剂,使试剂由出液口436排出,进而喷印至生物芯片700上。采用喷墨打印的方式实现加液,可以精确控制液膜厚度,显著降低试剂损耗,以进一步降低检测成本。Please refer to FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, and refer to FIG. 14 together. The inkjet chip 430 includes: a stacked inkjet cavity layer 431 and a driving structure 432, wherein the inkjet cavity layer 431 includes a first surface 4311 and a second surface 4312 arranged opposite to each other, the driving structure 432 is located on the first surface 4311, and the driving structure 432 is electrically connected to the inkjet control circuit 450. At least one liquid adding cavity 435 is formed through the first surface 4311 and the second surface 4312 of the inkjet cavity layer 431, and the liquid adding cavity 435 forms at least one liquid outlet 436 on the second surface 4312, and the liquid adding cavity 435 is used to accommodate the reagents required for the biochemical reaction. A negative pressure gas path (not shown) can be added to communicate with the liquid adding cavity 435, so that a certain negative pressure is maintained in the liquid adding cavity 435, so that the reagent is kept in the liquid adding cavity 435. The driving structure 432 is on the surface of the inkjet cavity layer 431 and covers the opening of the liquid adding cavity 435 opposite to the liquid outlet 436. The driving structure 432 can be deformed under the control of the inkjet control circuit 450, squeeze the reagent in the liquid adding cavity 435, discharge the reagent from the liquid outlet 436, and then print it on the biochip 700. The liquid addition method is adopted to accurately control the thickness of the liquid film, significantly reduce the loss of reagents, and further reduce the detection cost.

在一些实施例中,沿喷墨芯片430的延伸方向a,该出液口436的内径小于加液腔435的最小内径,即出液口436的口径最小,可以更好限制液滴的流出速度,以更好地控制每次打印出液滴的体积。另外,出液口436的口径较小,在未操作加样时,在负压的作用下,可以更好地使样品保持在加液腔435内。In some embodiments, along the extension direction a of the inkjet chip 430, the inner diameter of the liquid outlet 436 is smaller than the minimum inner diameter of the liquid adding chamber 435, that is, the liquid outlet 436 has the smallest caliber, which can better limit the outflow speed of the droplets to better control the volume of the droplets printed each time. In addition, the liquid outlet 436 has a smaller caliber, and when the sample is not added, the sample can be better kept in the liquid adding chamber 435 under the action of negative pressure.

喷墨腔体层431可以是多层结构,喷墨腔体层431包括衬底4313、叠设于衬底4313上的树脂层4314、以及叠设于衬底4313背离树脂层4314的表面上的喷嘴板4315,其中,树脂层4314背离衬底4313的表面构成第一表面4311,喷嘴板4315背离衬底4313的表面构成第二表面4312。可以理解的,树脂层4314可以是单层,也可以是多层。加 液腔435对应树脂层4314的部分构成第一通孔4316,加液腔435对应衬底4313的部分构成第二通孔4317,加液腔435对应喷嘴板4315的部分构成出液口436。在一些实施例中,第一通孔4316、第二通孔4317和出液口436的内径依次减小。这里,将出液口436的内径设计的最小,在不需要加样时,加液腔435内的试剂在小口径的出液口436处液滴在表面张力的作用下不会因自身重力而从出液口436流出,从而保持在加液腔435内,将第一通孔4316的内径设计的相对较大,可以承载较多的试剂。The inkjet cavity layer 431 may be a multi-layer structure, and the inkjet cavity layer 431 includes a substrate 4313, a resin layer 4314 stacked on the substrate 4313, and a nozzle plate 4315 stacked on the surface of the substrate 4313 facing away from the resin layer 4314, wherein the surface of the resin layer 4314 facing away from the substrate 4313 constitutes a first surface 4311, and the surface of the nozzle plate 4315 facing away from the substrate 4313 constitutes a second surface 4312. It can be understood that the resin layer 4314 may be a single layer or a multi-layer. The portion of the liquid cavity 435 corresponding to the resin layer 4314 constitutes the first through hole 4316, the portion of the liquid adding cavity 435 corresponding to the substrate 4313 constitutes the second through hole 4317, and the portion of the liquid adding cavity 435 corresponding to the nozzle plate 4315 constitutes the liquid outlet 436. In some embodiments, the inner diameters of the first through hole 4316, the second through hole 4317, and the liquid outlet 436 decrease in sequence. Here, the inner diameter of the liquid outlet 436 is designed to be the smallest. When no sample is added, the droplets of reagent in the liquid adding cavity 435 will not flow out of the liquid outlet 436 due to their own gravity under the action of surface tension at the small-diameter liquid outlet 436, thereby remaining in the liquid adding cavity 435. The inner diameter of the first through hole 4316 is designed to be relatively large, so that more reagents can be carried.

在一些实施例中,衬底4313的材质可以是硅,树脂层4314的材质可以是聚酰亚胺。在衬底4313上可以形成内径较小的第二通孔4317,可以通过化学蚀刻的方式在树脂层4314上形成内径较大的第一通孔4316。由于而树脂层4314通过蚀刻工艺可以成孔,相较于硅材质的衬底4313易于成孔,因此,可以根据实际需要需求精确控制第一通孔4316的内径,从而提高加液腔435体积控制的精准度,确保试剂量的精准。在一些实施例中,加液腔435的体积可以为9pL~50pL,示例性的,加液腔435的体积可以是9pL、10pL、15pL、20pL、25pL、30pL、35pL、40pL、45pL或50pL等。In some embodiments, the material of the substrate 4313 may be silicon, and the material of the resin layer 4314 may be polyimide. A second through hole 4317 with a smaller inner diameter may be formed on the substrate 4313, and a first through hole 4316 with a larger inner diameter may be formed on the resin layer 4314 by chemical etching. Since the resin layer 4314 can be formed into holes by etching, it is easier to form holes than the substrate 4313 made of silicon. Therefore, the inner diameter of the first through hole 4316 can be accurately controlled according to actual needs, thereby improving the accuracy of the volume control of the liquid adding chamber 435 and ensuring the accuracy of the reagent amount. In some embodiments, the volume of the liquid adding chamber 435 may be 9pL to 50pL. For example, the volume of the liquid adding chamber 435 may be 9pL, 10pL, 15pL, 20pL, 25pL, 30pL, 35pL, 40pL, 45pL or 50pL, etc.

In some embodiments, the opening of the liquid inlet hole 437 can be located on the first surface 4311 of the inkjet cavity layer 431, or on the side surface of the inkjet cavity layer 431. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, the liquid inlet hole 437 is opened on the resin layer 4314, and the opening is located on the first surface 4311.

In some embodiments, the liquid storage cavity 471 is a closed cavity, and the reagent in the liquid storage cavity 471 and the liquid adding cavity 435 will not seep out from the liquid outlet 436 through a negative pressure gas circuit.

请参阅图20,一并结合参阅图14、图18与图19,该喷墨芯片430包括多个并排设置的加液腔435,每个加液腔435对应设置一个驱动结构432和多个出液口436。多个驱动结构432可以电性连接至喷墨控制电路(图未示),从而实现多个驱动结构432的独立控制,以实现多个加液腔435的独立加样,此时,同一加液腔435内的试剂在驱动结构432的驱动下,从多个出液口436排出的液滴体积基本相同。每个加液腔435内可以储存一种试剂,从而可以实现多种试剂的同时喷印。每个加液腔435内的多个出液口436的设置方式可以根据生物芯片700上反应位点的排列形式进行设计,例如,每个加液腔 435内的多个出液口436可以呈一直线排列,可以理解的,每个加液腔435内的多个出液口436还可以呈阵列排布。这样,多个并排设置的加液腔435内的出液口436形成微孔阵列,且可以根据生物芯片210上位点阵列的数量调整出液口436的数量。为了提高生化反应的效果,生物芯片700的通量较高,此时,喷墨芯片430的出液口436的密度可以设计的较高,例如相邻出液口436之间的间距可以在40微米左右,进而实现高密度打印。在一些实施例中,储液结构470被分隔成多个独立的储液腔471,每个储液腔471对应一个加液腔435,且通过一个进液孔437连通。Please refer to Figure 20, and refer to Figures 14, 18 and 19 together. The inkjet chip 430 includes a plurality of liquid adding chambers 435 arranged side by side, and each liquid adding chamber 435 is correspondingly provided with a driving structure 432 and a plurality of liquid outlets 436. The plurality of driving structures 432 can be electrically connected to an inkjet control circuit (not shown) to achieve independent control of the plurality of driving structures 432, so as to achieve independent sample addition of the plurality of liquid adding chambers 435. At this time, the reagents in the same liquid adding chamber 435 are driven by the driving structure 432, and the droplet volumes discharged from the plurality of liquid outlets 436 are substantially the same. A reagent can be stored in each liquid adding chamber 435, so that the simultaneous printing of multiple reagents can be achieved. The arrangement of the plurality of liquid outlets 436 in each liquid adding chamber 435 can be designed according to the arrangement of the reaction sites on the biochip 700. For example, each liquid adding chamber 435 has a plurality of liquid outlets 436 arranged in a plurality of liquid outlets 436. The multiple liquid outlets 436 in 435 can be arranged in a straight line. It can be understood that the multiple liquid outlets 436 in each liquid adding chamber 435 can also be arranged in an array. In this way, the liquid outlets 436 in the multiple liquid adding chambers 435 arranged side by side form a micropore array, and the number of liquid outlets 436 can be adjusted according to the number of site arrays on the biochip 210. In order to improve the effect of the biochemical reaction, the flux of the biochip 700 is relatively high. At this time, the density of the liquid outlets 436 of the inkjet chip 430 can be designed to be relatively high. For example, the spacing between adjacent liquid outlets 436 can be about 40 microns, thereby achieving high-density printing. In some embodiments, the liquid storage structure 470 is divided into a plurality of independent liquid storage chambers 471, each liquid storage chamber 471 corresponds to a liquid adding chamber 435, and is connected through a liquid inlet 437.

可以理解的,在其他实施例中,如图21所示,喷墨芯片430包括多个呈阵列排布的加液腔435,每个加液腔435对应设置一个驱动结构432和一个出液口436,从而实现每个出液口436的独立控制,进而精确控制每个出液口436所排出的液滴体积。此时,储液结构470被分隔成多个独立的储液腔471,每个储液腔471对应一排加液腔435,同一排加液腔435分别通过一个进液孔437与该储液腔471连通,具体地,同一排加液腔435内的试剂种类相同。It can be understood that in other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 21 , the inkjet chip 430 includes a plurality of liquid adding chambers 435 arranged in an array, and each liquid adding chamber 435 is provided with a driving structure 432 and a liquid outlet 436, so as to realize the independent control of each liquid outlet 436, and then accurately control the volume of droplets discharged by each liquid outlet 436. At this time, the liquid storage structure 470 is divided into a plurality of independent liquid storage chambers 471, each liquid storage chamber 471 corresponds to a row of liquid adding chambers 435, and the same row of liquid adding chambers 435 are connected to the liquid storage chamber 471 through a liquid inlet hole 437, and specifically, the reagents in the same row of liquid adding chambers 435 are of the same type.

还可以理解的,在其他实施例中,如图22所示,喷墨芯片430包括多个呈阵列排布的加液腔435,每个加液腔435对应设置一个驱动结构432和一个出液口436,且此时,储液结构470被分隔成多个独立的储液腔471,每个储液腔471对应一个加液腔435,并通过一个进液孔437连通,可以实现每个加液腔435内的试剂种类和加样液滴体积的灵活设置。It can also be understood that in other embodiments, as shown in Figure 22, the inkjet chip 430 includes a plurality of liquid adding chambers 435 arranged in an array, each liquid adding chamber 435 corresponds to a driving structure 432 and a liquid outlet 436, and at this time, the liquid storage structure 470 is divided into a plurality of independent liquid storage chambers 471, each liquid storage chamber 471 corresponds to a liquid adding chamber 435, and is connected through a liquid inlet hole 437, so that the type of reagent in each liquid adding chamber 435 and the volume of the sample droplet can be flexibly set.

请参阅图23与图24,一并结合参阅图14与图15,如前所示,驱动结构432同样可以采用压电式喷墨打印技术实现加液腔435内试剂喷印至生物芯片700上。在一些实施例中,驱动结构432可以包括形变层4321和位于形变层4321上的电极层4322。如图24所示,喷墨芯片430的运作原理是通过电极层4322施加电压至形变层4321,由于形变层4321的材质可以为压电陶瓷,故形变层4321会受到电压的影响而产生瞬间形变,并通过此瞬间形变以挤压加液腔435之中的试剂,并从出液口436将试剂高压喷射出以形成液滴,从而喷印到生物芯片700的相应位置上。通过微压电的方式,实现试剂的喷印,可以精确控制喷印试剂液滴的体积,从而减少试剂损耗。Please refer to FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, and refer to FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 together. As shown above, the driving structure 432 can also use piezoelectric inkjet printing technology to realize the printing of the reagent in the liquid adding chamber 435 onto the biochip 700. In some embodiments, the driving structure 432 may include a deformation layer 4321 and an electrode layer 4322 located on the deformation layer 4321. As shown in FIG. 24, the operating principle of the inkjet chip 430 is to apply a voltage to the deformation layer 4321 through the electrode layer 4322. Since the material of the deformation layer 4321 can be piezoelectric ceramics, the deformation layer 4321 will be affected by the voltage and produce instantaneous deformation, and through this instantaneous deformation, the reagent in the liquid adding chamber 435 is squeezed, and the reagent is ejected at high pressure from the liquid outlet 436 to form droplets, thereby printing on the corresponding position of the biochip 700. By using a micro-piezoelectric method, the printing of the reagent can be realized, and the volume of the printed reagent droplets can be accurately controlled, thereby reducing the loss of the reagent.

在其他实施例中,如图25所示,该驱动结构432还可以采用热发泡式喷墨打印技术实现液体的喷涂,该驱动结构432还可以包括一加热器,加热器在通电后会产生热量,将位于加液腔435内的试剂加热,从而产生气泡,气泡将试剂液滴从出液口436挤出,实现喷印的目的。In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 25 , the driving structure 432 can also use thermal bubble inkjet printing technology to achieve liquid spraying. The driving structure 432 can also include a heater. When powered on, the heater generates heat to heat the reagent in the liquid adding chamber 435, thereby generating bubbles. The bubbles squeeze the reagent droplets out of the liquid outlet 436 to achieve the purpose of printing.

It is electrically connected to each driving structure 432 and can achieve independent control of each liquid outlet 436 or each discharge liquid outlet 436 of the inkjet chip 430.

在一些实施例中,喷墨芯片430的打印频率可以大于或等于10kHz,打印频率高,打印均一度较好,从而能够提高生物芯片700的加样效率,同时提高液膜厚度的均一度。In some embodiments, the printing frequency of the inkjet chip 430 may be greater than or equal to 10 kHz.
