The buffering part flow arrangement that is used for free stream cataphoresis
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind ofly be used for free stream cataphoresis (Free-Flow Electrophoresis, buffering part flow arrangement FFE) are used for the free stream cataphoresis electrolyte is carried or sample feeding.Belong to technical field of biochemical industry.
Background technology
The free stream cataphoresis technology is a protein efficient production isolation technics, and its method is to utilize transverse electric field that the protein in the electrolyte solution of continuous flow, virus and cell are carried out compartment analysis.Since the 1970's, FFE has been widely used in the branch analyses of variance such as gene, medicine, protein, cell, organelle and virus.FFE has many good qualities, as the theoretical recovery near 100%, but continuous sample introduction carries out the separation of protein/cell/virus etc.But still there are many problems.
The first, FFE costs an arm and a leg.In FFE, one of gordian technique is the nearly stable conveying of the above damping fluid/electrolytic solution of 96 passages.Traditional method adopt expensive multiple tracks pump realize the conveying of damping fluid (Shao Xiaoxia. Song Jinfang. Wan Qian etc., bioengineering journal, 1997,13,218; Li Qin. Li Li. Wang Zhaojie etc., biological chemistry and biophysics progress, 1998,25,833).Since no any impact mitigation measure in damping fluid is carried, and the FFE separation chamber requires highly stable uniform fluid dynamics environment; Therefore the FFE separation chamber is high to the degree of accuracy and the stability requirement of multiple tracks pump.Because high precision and high stability multiple tracks pump cost an arm and a leg, this causes the FFE cost very high to a great extent.But constant flow pump as adopting, owing to there is labile factor such as tangible pressure pulse, high precision and high stable liquid that therefore general constant flow pump is difficult among the FFE are carried.
The second, the FFE clastotype is single.In existing FFE, the clastotype of electrophoresis is mainly isoelectric focusing electrophoresis (isoelectric focusing, IEF; T.H.Maugh II, Science 1983,222,259), spot speed electrophoresis (isotachophoresis, ITP; W.Thormann, M.A.Firestone, J.E.Sloan, et al.Electrophoresis 1990,11,298) and zone electrophoresis (zone electrophoresis, ZE; S.Hoffstetter-Kuhn, H.Wagner, Electrophoresis 1990,11, and 457).Therefore, in FFE, the clastotype of electrophoresis is more single.In research recently, our first observed arrives the synchronous concentration and separation new model (Qin, W H, Cao, C X, Zhang, W, et al., Electrophoresis, 2005, in press) of MCRB (moving chemical reaction interface)-mediation.This synchronous concentration and separation new model is difficult to finish relevant research and application at traditional FFE.Finish relevant application, need existing FFE device be improved.
Three, FFE seldom is used for sample enrichment.In nearest research, we arrive efficiently concentrating pattern (C.X.Cao, Y.Z.He, M.Li, et al., Anal.Chem.2002,74,4167 of MCRB-mediation at first observed; C.X.Cao, W.Zhang, W.H.Qin, et al., Anal.Chem.2005,77,955).The enrichment new model of this MCRB-mediation is difficult to finish relevant research and application at traditional FFE.Finish relevant application, still need and will existing FFE device be improved.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention is exactly the problem at above existence, design provides a kind of buffering part flow arrangement that is used for free stream cataphoresis, can eliminate the intrinsic pressure-flow-rate impulse of general infusion pump (as constant flow pump) well, make the pulsed flow of liquid uniformity that becomes, finally in the FFE separation chamber, form stabilized uniform fluid dynamics environment, and can in FFE, finish the synchronous concentration and separation new model of MCRB-mediation and the efficiently concentrating new model of MCRB-mediation.
