基于附加流量实现双乳液滴非对称分裂的微流控芯片A microfluidic chip for asymmetric splitting of double emulsion droplets based on additional flow

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种基于附加流量实现双乳液滴非对称分裂的微流控芯片。本发明属于基于微流控芯片的液滴微流控技术领域。The invention relates to a microfluidic chip for realizing asymmetric splitting of double emulsion droplets based on additional flow. The invention belongs to the technical field of droplet microfluidics based on microfluidic chips.

背景技术Background technique

随着药物研制水平的不断发展,许多新型药物被研制出来以应对不同种类的疾病,但传统给药方法在释放过程中通常使患者体内的血药浓度在短时间内迅速上升并快速下降。在治疗过程中,血药浓度无论是超过患者的最高耐受剂量还是低于有效剂量,都无法得到有效的治疗效果,有时还会对患者产生不良的副作用。频繁的小剂量给药虽然可以一定程度上解决以上情况,但往往使患者难以接受,实施起来有很多困难。因此,能够缓慢释放药物成分的缓释性药物应运而生。With the continuous development of drug research and development, many new drugs have been developed to deal with different types of diseases, but the traditional drug delivery method usually causes the blood drug concentration in the patient's body to rise and fall rapidly in a short period of time during the release process. During the course of treatment, no matter whether the blood drug concentration exceeds the patient's maximum tolerated dose or is lower than the effective dose, no effective therapeutic effect can be obtained, and sometimes adverse side effects will be produced on the patient. Although frequent small-dose administration can solve the above situation to a certain extent, it often makes it difficult for patients to accept it, and there are many difficulties in implementation. Therefore, sustained-release drugs that can slowly release drug components have emerged.

液滴微流控技术是近些年发展起来的一种研究微米尺度微液滴生成、操控及应用的新技术。该技术具有稳定、易操作和适用范围广等特点,目前已广泛应用于药物运输、疾病防护、细胞研究及功能材料制备等诸多领域,是目前国内外各相关学科的研究热点。该技术基于玻璃微毛细管装置可以生成单分散性良好的双乳液滴,这些液滴能够为后续利用化学聚合、紫外光固化等方式生成的微胶囊提供高质量的模板。在药物缓释领域,厚度决定了微胶囊壳层在患者体内的溶解速率,通过将多种壳厚的微胶囊注入患者体内,使得不同核壳尺寸的微胶囊在不同时间点实现分批释放,可以控制药物在患者体内以给定的速率缓慢释放,维持有效的血药浓度。Droplet microfluidic technology is a new technology developed in recent years to study the generation, manipulation and application of micron-scale micro-droplets. This technology has the characteristics of stability, easy operation and wide application range. It has been widely used in many fields such as drug delivery, disease prevention, cell research and preparation of functional materials. It is currently a research hotspot in various related disciplines at home and abroad. This technology is based on a glass microcapillary device that can generate double emulsion droplets with good monodispersity. These droplets can provide high-quality templates for subsequent microcapsules generated by chemical polymerization, UV curing, and other methods. In the field of drug sustained release, the thickness determines the dissolution rate of the microcapsule shell in the patient's body. By injecting microcapsules with various shell thicknesses into the patient's body, the microcapsules with different core-shell sizes can be released in batches at different time points. The drug can be controlled to release slowly at a given rate in the patient's body to maintain an effective blood drug concentration.

相关文献指出,双乳液滴的尺寸很大程度上依赖于毛细管生成装置的几何参数,由于毛细管生成装置制作工艺的难度和复杂性,使得精确生成不同核壳尺寸,特别是100微米以下的双乳液滴模板还相对困难。Related literature points out that the size of the double emulsion droplet depends largely on the geometric parameters of the capillary generation device. Due to the difficulty and complexity of the manufacturing process of the capillary generation device, it is possible to accurately generate double emulsions with different core-shell sizes, especially below 100 microns. Drop templates are also relatively difficult.

Finally, it is input from the second sub-double emulsion drop outlet 10 and the first sub-double emulsion drop outlet 4, and flows into the external conduit. Since the small fluctuation of the external pressure of the system will cause the instability of the split ratio, the second outlet serpentine pressurization channel 14 and the first outlet serpentine pressurization channel 8 can be used to increase the internal pressure of the microfluidic chip and reduce the micro pressure outside the system The relative size of the fluctuation, reducing its impact.

The tail of the first double-emulsion droplet splitting branch 6 is connected to the first outlet serpentine pressurization channel 8, and a single-side branch is connected between the first double emulsion droplet splitting branch 6 and the first outlet serpentine pressurization channel 8 The additional flow inlet 7 is used to change the additional flow to cause the pressure difference inside the second double emulsion droplet splitting branch 13 and the first double emulsion droplet splitting branch 6 .

所述第二双乳液滴分裂支路13、第一双乳液滴分裂支路6末端分别接入第二子双乳液滴出口10、第一子双乳液滴出口4。第二子双乳液滴出口10、第一子双乳液滴出口4将接连导管,用于输出分裂获得的子双乳液滴。The ends of the second double-emulsion droplet splitting branch 13 and the first double-emulsion droplet splitting branch 6 are connected to the second sub-double-emulsion droplet 10 and the first sub-double-emulsion droplet 4 respectively. The second sub-double-emulsion outlet 10 and the first sub-double-emulsion outlet 4 will be connected with conduits for outputting sub-double-emulsion droplets obtained by splitting.

本发明的工作过程如下,将制备好的双乳液滴通过导管输入双乳液滴注射入口1,随着流体流动,双乳液滴流入稳流主通道9于蛇形增压通道2交汇处。另一方面,流体从双乳液滴运动速度调节入口3流入主体固体结构15和PDMS底板16制作成的微流控芯片,经过蛇形增压通道2,与双乳液滴同时进入稳流主通道9。通过调节流体从双乳液滴运动速度调节入口3的流量大小,可以控制双乳液滴的运动速度,调节分裂稳定性。The working process of the present invention is as follows, the prepared double emulsion droplets are input into the double emulsion droplet injection inlet 1 through the catheter, and as the fluid flows, the double emulsion droplets flow into the steady flow main channel 9 at the junction of the serpentine pressurized channel 2 . On the other hand, the fluid flows into the microfluidic chip made of the main body solid structure 15 and the PDMS bottom plate 16 from the double emulsion droplet velocity adjustment inlet 3, passes through the serpentine pressurized channel 2, and enters the steady flow main channel 9 at the same time as the double emulsion droplet . By adjusting the moving speed of the fluid from the double emulsion droplet to adjust the flow rate of the inlet 3, the moving speed of the double emulsion droplet can be controlled and the splitting stability can be adjusted.

随后,双乳液滴流入稳流主通道9的末端,进入双乳液滴径向固定通道11,双乳液滴径向固定通道11将双乳液滴径向固定起来,经过双乳液滴分裂聚焦缩口12,双乳液滴射入双乳液滴分裂岔口5发生分裂。另一方面,单侧支路附加流量入口7接入附加流量,引起第二双乳液滴分裂支路13、第一双乳液滴分裂支路6内部的压力差。最终,双乳液滴在双乳液滴分裂岔口5发生非对称分裂,通过调节单侧支路附加流量入口7的流量大小,可以进一步调节双乳液滴的分裂比。Subsequently, the double-emulsion droplets flow into the end of the steady-flow main channel 9 and enter the double-emulsion droplet radially fixed channel 11. The double-emulsion droplet radially fixed channel 11 fixes the double-emulsion droplet in the radial direction. , the double-emulsion droplet is injected into the double-emulsion droplet splitting fork 5 to split. On the other hand, the additional flow inlet 7 of the single-side branch is connected with the additional flow, causing a pressure difference inside the second double emulsion droplet splitting branch 13 and the first double emulsion droplet splitting branch 6 . Finally, the double-emulsion droplet splits asymmetrically at the double-emulsion droplet splitting fork 5, and the splitting ratio of the double-emulsion droplet can be further adjusted by adjusting the flow rate of the additional flow inlet 7 of the unilateral branch.

在完成非对称分裂之后,子双乳液滴流经第二双乳液滴分裂支路13、第一双乳液滴分裂支路6,分别进入第二出口蛇形增压通道14,第一出口蛇形增压通道8。最终,从第二子双乳液滴出口10、第一子双乳液滴出口4输入,流入外接导管。由于系统外部压力的微小波动会引起分裂比的不稳定,第二出口蛇形增压通道14,第一出口蛇形增压通道8可用于提高微流控芯片内部压力,减小系统外部微小压力波动的相对大小,降低其影响。After completing the asymmetric splitting, the sub-double emulsion droplets flow through the second double emulsion droplet splitting branch 13 and the first double emulsion droplet splitting branch 6, and enter the second outlet serpentine pressurization channel 14 respectively, and the first outlet serpentine Boost channel 8. Finally, it is input from the second sub-double emulsion drop outlet 10 and the first sub-double emulsion drop outlet 4, and flows into the external conduit. Since the small fluctuation of the external pressure of the system will cause the instability of the split ratio, the second outlet serpentine pressurization channel 14 and the first outlet serpentine pressurization channel 8 can be used to increase the internal pressure of the microfluidic chip and reduce the micro pressure outside the system The relative size of the fluctuation, reducing its impact.
