Description

The method of carrier fluid device and this device of manufacturing
The present invention relates to a kind of method that is used for the device (being called the carrier fluid device hereinafter) of the loading liquid of analyzing liquid sample and makes this device.Carrier fluid device of the present invention is suitable in measuring the composition of blood, urine and other material the instrument as clinical analysis of diagnosis.
When sample was blood, urine or another kind of liquid, the composition of analyzing a sample needed a container or a loading attachment that is used to load this liquid.The glass apparatus of test tube and other all is the container of common loading liquid.Transfer pipet be used to pack into the sample of fixed amount.For loading attachment, the test specimen of being made up of paper, organic high molecular layer and other the material of fluid permeable is well-known.Under the situation of such loading attachment, suck a certain amount of testing liquid by transfer pipet, allow these liquid pass test specimen and be loaded in the device.
But,, when collecting the testing liquid of trace, can produce some difficulties, and hinder accuracy with pack into the method for testing liquid of test tube or other glass apparatus.The liquid that analysis can be passed test specimen need use transfer pipet, and this has not only increased the complicacy of operation, and has hindered the miniaturization of attempting to make the employed machine of running program robotization.
Therefore, with regard to the analysis of testing liquid, the objective of the invention is to propose a kind of simple carrier fluid device, this device makes and loads on call liquid, even the flowing fluid ratio of the trace of packing into is easier to, and provides enough quantitative precision for analysis.
To achieve the above object, in the carrier fluid device involved in the present invention the material of being made up of organic macromolecule is housed.The surface of this material is made up of different zones, and these zones have mutually different contact angle about liquid.The first area forms less relatively contact angle α for any surface that is attached to the liquid in this zone (first area); Second area near the first area, forms relatively large contact angle β for the surface of the liquid same as described above that is attached to this zone (second area).
Manufacturing makes liquid can be loaded into carrier fluid device wherein for the analytic liquid sample suitable method comprises following main process characteristic:
(a) step of preparation organic macromolecule material.
(b) will be placed in a certain position of material surface to the masking layer (mask) of shaping type, this masking layer and material surface form and closely contact or be separated from each other.
(c) pass the step that masking layer shines material surface with ultraviolet ray.
Liquid in the carrier fluid device, except the fluid sample that needs are analyzed, also comprise dissolving will with the liquid of the reagent of testing sample reaction.
Fig. 1 represents the carrier fluid device of embodiment 1, wherein has water to adhere to from the teeth outwards.Fig. 1 (a) is a vertical view, and Fig. 1 (b) is a front elevation.
Fig. 2 is the sectional view of the carrier fluid device of embodiment 2, wherein has water to adhere to from the teeth outwards.
The surface of the material of the carrier fluid device among the present invention is made up of different zones, and these zones are right Have separately different contact angles in liquid, and these zones mutually near. Because contact angle is not With, if the amount of liquid is seldom, this liquid will be attached to the first area, the first area has littler Contact angle (making liquid be easy to wetting first area), and can not be attached to second area, second There is bigger contact angle (making liquid be difficult to wetting second area) in the zone.
For example, if the area of first area (having littler contact angle) under higher precision Be determined, and on every side around second area (having bigger contact angle), be attached to so The amount of the lip-deep liquid in one zone can be determined under very high precision, the amount of this liquid with The area of first area is relevant with the contact angle that is formed by liquid and first area, and with provide The amount of liquid is irrelevant. This with regard to so that accompanying liquid can advance by the reagent that uses known quantity The row quantitative analysis. Reagent also can be applied to have the zone of littler contact angle in advance.
If employed material is two transparent sheets staggered relatively, and if between two thin slices Distance fixed by the pad that inserts between two thin slices, the first area is as basal plane so, liquid Be loaded into two spaces between the sheeting with cylindrical shape. In this case, only at thin slice The surface of a thin slice of material can provide the zones of different with different contact angles, and reagent can Be applied to the surface of another thin slice. This is so that liquid adheres to front use reagent, and does not change first The contact angle in zone. And, because testing liquid is loaded between two sheetings liquid to be measured The leakage of body is very difficult, and the staff can avoid any infection from testing liquid. This Plant the pollution that arranges also can prevent analytical equipment.
Such as top explanation, the amount that is attached to the liquid on the material surface of the present invention not only depends on The surface area of material also depends on contact angle. In the preparation process of carrier fluid device of the present invention, The contact angle of each isolated area of control material is very important. For example, if the liquid that loads Be water base liquid, arrange preferably to be that the bigger contact angle β of hydrophobic region is at least 60 °, Contact angle difference (β-α) be at least 30 ° at a zone and adjacent area. Such In the parameter area, during repeated experiments, the variation of the amount of accompanying liquid is littler. When the carrier fluid device When preparing with the method for ultraviolet ray irradiation, the ultraviolet irradiation that can below using, will explain Condition is controlled contact angle.
Have the zones of different of different contact angles for the same surface at one piece material produces, (or hydrophilic) of hydrophobic, organically, prepare masking layer on the surface of macromolecular material, like this Hydrophilic group (or group of hydrophobic) and grafted branches are introduced in masking layer by chemical action Exposure portion. Can use the plasma process method, corona discharge process method and other Method replaces chemical method and so that only be that the surperficial position that exposes becomes and has hydrophily and (or hate Water-based), but the method for above-mentioned ultraviolet irradiation is extraordinary, because it is without any need for specially Preliminary treatment or the post processing of door, and used equipment is simple.
