Description
本發明係有關一種生物感測裝置、生物感測系統及其使用方法,尤指基於損耗模態共振(lossy mode resonance,LMR)原理且可即時地去除環境干擾信號的一種生物感測裝置、生物感測系統及其使用方法。 The present invention relates to a biological sensing device, a biological sensing system and a method of using the same, in particular to a biological sensing device, biological Sensing system and method of use thereof.
人類的生活型態隨著國家與社會的發展而改變,在科技發展日新月異且醫療服務便利的時代,許多國家從未開發邁向開發中或是已開發國家,享受科技帶來的便利不再是夢想,國家之間的距離不再是距離,不論是產業、資訊、文化和飲食皆受惠。隨著生活便利和長壽,文明病也隨之產生,如心臟病、癌症、肥胖症和糖尿病等。以糖尿病為例,其主要特徵是患者的血糖長時間高於標準值;正常來說,當人體血糖升高時,應由胰島素控制血糖以降低。在糖尿病檢測中,可針對糖化血紅素(HbA1c)做為近3個月血糖狀況的依據進行檢測。 The way of life of human beings changes with the development of the country and society. In the era of rapid technological development and convenient medical services, many countries have never developed or are developing countries. Enjoying the convenience brought by technology is no longer a priority. Dream, the distance between countries is no longer distance, whether it is industry, information, culture and food are all benefited. With the convenience and longevity of life, civilized diseases such as heart disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes have also appeared. Taking diabetes as an example, its main feature is that the blood sugar of the patient is higher than the standard value for a long time; normally, when the blood sugar of the human body rises, the blood sugar should be controlled by insulin to reduce it. In the detection of diabetes, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) can be detected as the basis for the blood sugar status in the past 3 months.
在過去幾年的生物檢測技術中,表面電漿共振(surface plasmon resonance,SPR)技術已有了長足的進步,憑藉其高靈敏度使得其可廣泛運用於生物與化學領域進行分子等級的檢測。在許多的研究工作 中,表面電漿共振(SPR)技術的感測器一般使用高折射率稜鏡(prism)所建構而成,光的入射角可以在很寬的範圍內進行變化,因此任何介質與待測物的變化都可以找到合適的角度以激發表面電漿,使入射光在光波導與共振薄膜交界處發生全反射(total internal reflection,TIR)並產生漸逝波(evanescent wave)。其中,入射光又包含了橫向電場(transverse electronic,TE)波和橫向磁場(transverse magnetic,TM)波,表面電漿共振(SPR)技術僅能以TM波激發。 In the past few years, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology has made great progress, and its high sensitivity makes it widely used in biological and chemical fields for molecular-level detection. in many research work Among them, the sensor of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology is generally constructed with high refractive index prism, and the incident angle of light can be changed in a wide range, so any medium and the object to be measured can be changed. A suitable angle can be found to excite the surface plasmon, so that the incident light will undergo total internal reflection (TIR) at the interface between the optical waveguide and the resonant film, and an evanescent wave will be generated. Among them, the incident light includes transverse electric (TE) waves and transverse magnetic (TM) waves, and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology can only be excited by TM waves.
然而,採用稜鏡式設計的感測器架構通常具有龐大的體積,需要昂貴的光學設備(如透鏡組)及精密機械設備輔助(如氣墊式光學防震設備),不容易實現小型化及產品量產。除此之外,在使用表面電漿共振(SPR)技術的檢測過程中,可能會產生之共振波長的位移有兩種,其中一種位移量(以下可簡稱為生物信號)是當生物分子被抓取(或被吸附)到待測表面所引起,其中另一種位移量(以下可簡稱為環境干擾信號)是因液體之折射率隨溫度波動改變所引起、或因光源擾動所引起。前述環境干擾信號會與生物信號彼此疊加而造成信號失真,導致生物感測結果的不準確。 However, the sensor structure with a high-end design usually has a huge volume and requires expensive optical equipment (such as a lens group) and precision mechanical equipment (such as an air-cushion optical shock-proof device), which is not easy to achieve miniaturization and product volume. Produce. In addition, in the detection process using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology, there are two possible shifts in the resonance wavelength. It is caused by taking (or being adsorbed) to the surface to be measured, and another displacement amount (hereinafter referred to as environmental interference signal) is caused by the change of the refractive index of the liquid with temperature fluctuations, or caused by the disturbance of the light source. The aforementioned environmental interference signals and biological signals will be superimposed on each other, resulting in signal distortion, resulting in inaccurate biological sensing results.
為此,如何設計出一種生物感測裝置、生物感測系統及其使用方法,來解決前述的技術問題,乃為本案發明人所研究的重要課題。 Therefore, how to design a biosensing device, a biosensing system and a method for using the same to solve the aforementioned technical problems is an important subject studied by the inventor of the present application.

本發明之一實施例的生物感測裝置1可應用於蛋白質檢測,且其可包括:光波導基板10、表面電漿共振(surface plasmon resonance,SPR)層20以及損耗模態共振(lossy mode resonance,LMR)層30。其中,光波導基板10可包括彼此相對的光輸入端11以及光輸出端12,且在光輸入端11以及光輸出端12之間的光波導基板10的其中一面形成生物感測區13。生物感測區13用以置放待測物(device under test,DUT)。在本實施例中,待測物可以是包括糖化血紅素(HbA1c)的磷酸鹽緩衝溶液(PBS)。在本發明之所述實施例中,光波導基板10可以是玻璃、石英以及其他可導光之物質或高分子材料(例如:PET、PMMA等)的其中一者,也可以是由其他光損耗小的材料所製成。

雖然目前光纖感測器是發展主流,但是光纖感測器製作過程需經過研磨與鍍膜,製作不易。既使換成塑膠光纖(plastic optical fiber,POF)為例,雖然韌性較佳,但難以抵抗製程中的有機溶液與高溫,再加 上POF之吸收光譜的波長範圍介於紅光與紅外光之間,是常用的波長,不容易用來判斷表面電漿共振(SPR)與損耗模態共振(LMR)之現象。以玻璃光纖(glass optical fiber,GOF)為例,雖然能夠抵抗製程中的有機溶液與高溫,且吸收光譜在紫外光,不是常用的波長,但研磨不易且容易斷裂。綜上所述,本發明所提出可以玻璃製的平面波導作為感測器,將玻璃基板先鍍膜後再裁切成適當大小。玻璃能夠抵抗製程中的有機溶液與高溫,且不需要研磨,相較於光纖架構的感測器,平面波導製作感測器較容易,不易損壞且良率高。 Although optical fiber sensors are currently the mainstream of development, the production process of optical fiber sensors requires grinding and coating, which is not easy to manufacture. Even if the plastic optical fiber (POF) is used as an example, although the toughness is better, it is difficult to resist the organic solution and high temperature in the process. The wavelength range of the absorption spectrum of the upper POF is between red light and infrared light, which is a commonly used wavelength, and it is not easy to judge the phenomena of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and loss modal resonance (LMR). Taking glass optical fiber (GOF) as an example, although it can resist the organic solution and high temperature in the process, and its absorption spectrum is in ultraviolet light, which is not a commonly used wavelength, it is not easy to grind and easy to break. To sum up, the present invention proposes that a planar waveguide made of glass can be used as a sensor, and the glass substrate is first coated and then cut into an appropriate size. Glass is resistant to organic solutions and high temperatures in the process, and does not require grinding. Compared with optical fiber-based sensors, planar waveguides are easier to fabricate, less prone to damage, and have higher yields.
表面電漿共振層20可包括金屬層21以及多數個生物探針22,金屬層21覆設於部分生物感測區13之上,且多數個生物探針22均勻地佈設於金屬層21之上。其中,多數個生物探針22於金屬層21進行表面改質後自組裝(self-assembly)形成於金屬層21上。所述表面改質可以是依下列順序進行:去除氧化銦錫層的表面汙染物、對氧化銦錫層進行羥基化處理、對氧化銦錫層進行矽烷化處理、以及對氧化銦錫層進行脫羧反應處理。詳述如下。
The surface
損耗模態共振層30覆設於部分生物感測區13之上,且不與表面電漿共振層20相疊。損耗模態共振層30可以選用介電常數之實部遠大於虛部的金屬氧化物,即有機會產生損耗模態。在本發明之所述實施例中,損耗模態共振層30可以是金屬氧化物(例如:氧化銦錫ITO、氧化鈦TiOx、氧化鋅ZnOx等)或高分子材料所構成。所述損耗模態共振(LMR)與表面電漿共振(SPR)的原理近似,當入射光以臨界角(critical angle)進入損耗模態共振層30而發生全反射(TIR)時,入射光(incident light)會損耗模態共振層30表面產生漸逝波(evanescent wave)。當漸逝波與損耗模態共振
層30之有效折射率匹配時,兩者耦合即可從反射光(reflected light)的光譜觀察到部分波長的光強度損失,光強度損失之波長稱為LMR波長且為本發明在使用時的觀察重點。另TE波與TM波均可以與損耗模態共振層30產生共振,因此不需要針對入射光進行偏極化或濾波,靈敏度高且使用方便。在本發明之所述實施例中,作為損耗模態共振層30的氧化銦錫層(ITO)可以是通過射頻磁控濺鍍(RF sputter)而配置於作為光波導基板10的玻璃基板上。而RF sputter為本領域具有通常知識者所熟知且成熟的技術,在此不再詳述。

進一步而言,在本發明所述之生物感測裝置1中,沿光輸入端11至光輸出端12的方向,生物感測區13依序形成第一待測區131以及第二待測區132。其中,表面電漿共振層20覆設於第一待測區131之上,損耗模態共振層30覆設於第二待測區132之上。亦即損耗模態共振層30不與表面電漿共振層20相疊。
Further, in the
如圖2所示,本發明的生物感測系統可以在所述之生物感測裝置1的基礎上,更包括寬頻光源2、輸入光纖3、輸出光纖4、光譜儀5以及分析主機7。其中,輸入光纖3耦接寬頻光源2,用以傳輸寬頻光源2所輸出的光,所述寬頻光源2可以是鹵素光源。生物感測裝置1耦接輸入光纖3,用以使寬頻光源2輸出的光進入如圖1所示之光波導基板10的光輸入端11。輸出光纖4耦接光波導基板10的光輸出端12,用以接收輸出自光波導基板10的光。光譜儀5耦接輸出光纖4,用以接收並分析輸出自光波導基板10的光。所述輸出自光波導基板10的光可包括發生共振於表面電漿共振層20的光,以及發生共振於損耗模態共振層30的光。分析主機7耦接光譜儀5。
As shown in FIG. 2 , the biological sensing system of the present invention may further include a

在使用前述生物感測系統及其生物感測裝置1時,首先將待測物(圖中未示)配置於包括並列且不相疊的表面電漿共振層20以及損耗模態共振層30的生物感測區13,且使待測物同時地接觸表面電漿共振層20以及損耗模態共振層30(步驟S1)。繼而,可將寬頻光源(例如鹵素光源)發出的入射光通過前述輸入光纖3輸入至生物感測區13。以使入射光於表面電漿共振層20產生表面電漿共振(SPR)信號,且同時地入射光於損耗模態共振層30產生損耗模態共振(LMR)信號(步驟S2)。最後,使光譜儀5通過輸出光纖4而同時地接收表面電漿共振(SPR)信號以及損耗模態共振(LMR)信號,且將表面電漿共振(SPR)信號減去損耗模態共振(LMR)信號之後獲得生物信號(步驟S3)。由於表面電漿共振(SPR)信號的共振波長位移包含了兩種信號:生物信號與環境干擾信號,故可通過扣除完全與環境相依的損耗模態共振(LMR)信號,來達到移除表面電漿共振(SPR)信號中的環境干擾信號之目的。
When using the aforementioned bio-sensing system and
如圖4所示,在本發明所述之實施例中,當待測物選用為不同折射率的待測物時,可以同時地檢測SPR信號L1的共振波長位移(如圖4所示之左側△λ)以及LMR信號L2的共振波長位移(如圖4所示之右側△λ),以各別地計算表面電漿共振層20的靈敏度以及損耗模態共振層30的靈敏度。在本發明之所述實施例中,表面電漿共振層20的靈敏度為SSPR,損耗模態共振層30的靈敏度為SLMR。
As shown in FIG. 4 , in the embodiment of the present invention, when the test object is selected as the test object with different refractive indices, the resonance wavelength shift of the SPR signal L1 can be simultaneously detected (the left side shown in FIG. 4 ) Δλ) and the resonance wavelength shift of the LMR signal L2 (right Δλ as shown in FIG. 4 ) to calculate the sensitivity of the surface
如圖5所示,當待測物改為蛋白質時,例如使用牛血清白蛋白(bovine serum albumin,BSA)溶液。在同時地檢測SPR信號L11以及LMR信號L21之後,SPR層20因為有經過表面改質(有生物探針)而可以抓取蛋白質,所以SPR信號的共振波長位移(△λSPR)包含了生物信號的共振波長位移(△λSPR,bio)及環境干擾信號的共振波長位移(△λSPR,noise)。LMR層30則由於未經過表面改質(無生物探針)而無法抓取蛋白質,故僅有環境干擾信號的共振波長位移(△λLMR,noise),可做為環境變化的參考數據。為此,可推算出環境干擾信號的等效折射率變化量(△n noise),以及等效折射率變化量所造成的SPR信號的共振波長位移(△λSPR,noise),此可視為SPR信號裡面的環境干擾量,如下所示:
為此,可以獲得真實的生物信號的共振波長位移(△λ SPR,bio ):△λ SPR,bio =△λ SPR -△λ SPR,noise For this, the resonance wavelength shift (Δλ SPR,bio ) of the real biological signal can be obtained: Δλ SPR,bio =Δλ SPR -Δλ SPR,noise
由於本發明採用的架構是在光波導基板10上配置表面電漿共振層20以及損耗模態共振層30,用以形成所述生物感測區13,從而可避免使用龐大體積的稜鏡。並且,由於可以在單次的檢測過程中,於生物感測區13中同時地通過表面電漿共振層20獲得表面電漿共振(SPR)信號,以及通過損耗模態共振層30獲得損耗模態共振(LMR)信號,使光譜儀5可將表面電漿共振信號減去損耗模態共振信號之後獲得生物信號,可即時地去除環境干擾信號,從而解決了現有技術之不容易實現小型化以及容易造成信號失真的技術問題。
Since the structure adopted in the present invention is to configure the surface
為此,本發明所述生物感測裝置、生物感測系統及其使用方法,可達到方便攜帶、容易量產以及準確的生物感測結果之目的。 Therefore, the biosensing device, the biosensing system and the method for using the biosensing device of the present invention can achieve the goals of being convenient to carry, easy to mass-produce, and having accurate biosensing results.
除此之外,損耗模態共振(LMR)相較於表面電漿共振(SPR)而言具有下列特點:TE波與TM波均可以與損耗模態共振層30產生共振,而使用SPR技術僅可與TM波產生共振。
In addition, lossy modal resonance (LMR) has the following characteristics compared to surface plasmon resonance (SPR): both TE waves and TM waves can resonate with the lossy
