本发明还提供一种用于纳米孔基因测序微电流稳定的补偿方法,如图4所示,包括对积分放大器720放大后的输出信号进行高频补偿810,所述高频补偿810用于减弱在所述积分放大器720放大后的输出信号的高频分量。在进行所述高频补偿810之前通过低通滤波器进行零点过冲补偿820;在进行所述零点过冲补偿820的同时加入偏置电压后补偿840,所述偏置电压后补偿840用于消除所述积分放大器720中输出的偏置电压。在一个实施例中,为解决经积分放大器720放大后的输出信号高频分量减弱的问题,对电路进行高频补偿810以提供带宽,同时积分放大器720的零点会对高频补偿810的输出信号产生过冲现象,故在高频补偿810之前利用低通滤波器进行零点过冲补偿820。另外,在积分放大器720中存在一定的输出偏置电压,需要对其进行内部或外部失调调零即积分放大器输入失调补偿830,在零点过冲补偿820的同时加入偏置电压后补偿840,以消除偏置电压的负面作用。The present invention also provides a compensation method for nanopore gene sequencing microcurrent stabilization, as shown in FIG. 4 , which includes performing high-
在纳米孔基因测序检测过程中,DNA单分子过纳米孔道会产生过孔噪声,DNA单分子穿孔离子电流信号的频率范围和噪声及干扰信号的频率范围会有重叠,且噪声的频率通常比检测信号的频率大,通过低通滤波器850滤除噪声及干扰信号,低通滤波器850的频率优选10kHz。In the process of nanopore gene sequencing detection, DNA single molecule passing through the nanopore channel will generate via noise. The frequency range of DNA single molecule perforation ion current signal and the frequency range of noise and interference signals will overlap, and the frequency of noise is usually higher than that of detection. The frequency of the signal is large, and noise and interference signals are filtered out by the low-
还包括对电极电容、膜电容以及纳米孔串联电阻的补偿;其中,Also includes compensation for electrode capacitance, membrane capacitance, and nanopore series resistance; where,
对所述电极电容与膜电容的补偿包括分别在所述积分放大器720的反相输入端连接第一补偿支路860与第二补偿支路880,所述第一补偿支路860与第二补偿支路880分别用于给所述电极电容与膜电容提供电流;所述第一补偿支路860与第二补偿支路880同时连接有一阶跃电压870,所述阶跃电压870使得经过所述第一补偿支路860与所述电极电容以及所述第二补偿支路880与所述膜电容的电流大小相等、方向相反;Compensation for the electrode capacitance and membrane capacitance includes connecting a
对所述纳米孔串联电阻的补偿包括将所述积分放大器720的输出电压取出一定比例,用于抵消所述纳米孔串联电阻造成的压降,并形成一个校正回路的补偿电路890。The compensation for the series resistance of the nanopores includes taking a certain proportion of the output voltage of the integrating
电极电容不是纯容性的,周围存在着与其相串联的电阻,如电极电阻及电解质溶液、电极内液的电阻等。电极电容对电路的影响主要是在检测系统刚开始运作的时候,这是因为电极电容的时间常数相对较小,为uS级,产生的充放电电流经过反馈元件放大后,会比pA级的检测信号高2到3个数量级,足够淹没检测信号,并会使放大器进入饱和区,严重影响检测系统工作。在积分放大器720的反相输入端接入一个电极电容补偿支路即第一补偿支路860,专门为电极电容充放电提供电流,该支路以补偿电容作为充放电电流注射元件,并在补偿电容的另一端也输入一个同步的阶跃电压870,使通过补偿电容的电流恰好与待消除的电极电容的充放电电流大小相等、方向相反。同时,由于电极电容时间常数的存在,用于向补偿电容支路施加的阶跃电压信号也需要通过一个时间常数可调的延迟电路后再输出,从而使补偿电流与电极电容电流更好的匹配。The electrode capacitance is not purely capacitive, and there are resistances in series with it, such as electrode resistance and the resistance of the electrolyte solution and the liquid in the electrode. The influence of the electrode capacitance on the circuit is mainly when the detection system starts to operate. This is because the time constant of the electrode capacitance is relatively small, at the uS level. The signal is 2 to 3 orders of magnitude higher, which is enough to overwhelm the detection signal and make the amplifier enter the saturation region, seriously affecting the operation of the detection system. An electrode capacitance compensation branch, namely the
膜电容的时间常数高于电极电容,为几十到几百uS。补偿时类似电极电容补偿,使膜电容补偿通路即第二补偿支路880的电压源阶跃电压870经过时间延迟电路和比例调节电路,输出给补偿电容即可。The time constant of the membrane capacitance is higher than that of the electrode capacitance, which is tens to hundreds of uS. Compensation is similar to electrode capacitance compensation, so that the voltage
纳米孔串联电阻对测量电路主要有两种危害:一种是它限制了膜电容的充放电时间,影响了DNA快速测量的指标,使系统带宽不如预期那样高,这部分已经由之前的膜电容补偿通路进行弥补;还有一种是电流流经串联电阻造成的压降,对于检测电流部分,在积分放大器的输出端施加一个补偿通道,把正比于检测电流的积分放大器的输出电压取出一定比例,用于抵消部分压降形成一个校正回路的补偿电路890,可提高对检测电流信号的时间分辨率,系统带宽能力也会有所提升;对于膜电容的充放电电流部分,施加驱动电压时,在其脉冲前沿及后沿各增加一个短暂的充或放电脉冲,这样使膜电压的变化开始先向比预先设定的电压值更高或低的水平变化,一旦达到预定值立即撤去该附加脉冲,显然提高了膜电压的改变速度,这样的增压过冲电路可预测各时刻膜电容充放电电流在串联电阻上的压降并对其进行补偿。由于影响弱电流测量灵敏度的首要因素是积分放大器720的偏置电流,以及其随温度或时间的漂移,所以前置积分放大器应满足偏置电流尽可能的小于被测的微弱电流,且增益、共模抑制比高,失调电压和漂移小,噪声小等要求,可选用AD549L等低噪声高增益低偏置电流的JFET器件。The series resistance of nanopores has two main hazards to the measurement circuit: one is that it limits the charging and discharging time of the membrane capacitance, which affects the index of rapid DNA measurement and makes the system bandwidth not as high as expected, which has been partially affected by the previous membrane capacitance. The compensation path is used to make up for it; there is also a voltage drop caused by the current flowing through the series resistance. For the detection current part, a compensation channel is applied to the output of the integrating amplifier, and the output voltage of the integrating amplifier proportional to the detection current is taken out. A certain proportion, The
