Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments.

The specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art according to the specific circumstances.
The existing detection method is a fluorescence detection method, namely, an optical detection system is used for carrying out optical irradiation treatment on the replication and amplification product and detecting a fluorescence signal transmitted by the replication and amplification product after irradiation, and finally, qualitative detection is finished on a sample to be detected according to the fluorescence signal. Qualitative refers to determining whether the sample to be tested carries the target gene of interest. This detection mode is called real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Quantitative Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction, qPCR). The qPCR reaction is to add a reporter group to a target gene in a PCR reaction system, when the target gene undergoes one reaction cycle (namely after undergoing one replication), the fluorescent signal intensity emitted by the reporter group is enhanced once, and an optical detection system of a PCR instrument can monitor the change of the reaction product amount by detecting the change of the fluorescent signal intensity of a sample to be detected after each reaction cycle. When the detection method is used for qualitatively judging the sample to be detected, the problem of fluorescence crosstalk can occur, so that the detection result is wrong, and a large amount of amplification is needed for the sample to be detected, so that the time required for completing the detection is longer.

Of course, the magnitude of amplification can also be controlled, and the amount of amplification can be controlled by controlling the residence time of the sample to be tested inside the temperature-controlled flow channel 2123.

The reaction zone 2 further includes a sealing film 25, where the sealing film 25 covers the surface of the reaction plate 22, so that the reaction chamber 21, the sample inlet channel 23 and the sample outlet channel 24 form a closed space, which can facilitate the inflow and outflow of the sample to be measured. Here, the sealing film 25 can also cover the temperature control flow passage 2123.
The reaction area 2 and the main body 1 of the kit are integrally formed or welded.
In some embodiments, the kit body 1 includes a case 11 and a switching valve 14, the case 11 includes a central through hole 112, and the outer circumference of the central through hole 112 is configured with a plurality of receiving chambers isolated from each other, one receiving chamber for receiving a sample to be measured; the switching valve 14 comprises a cylinder 141 inserted in the central through hole 112 and a valve seat 142 positioned at one end of the cylinder 141, wherein a plunger 143 is embedded in a cylinder cavity 144 of the cylinder 141, an inlet and an outlet which are communicated with the cylinder cavity 144 are formed in the valve seat 142, when the inlet and the outlet are aligned and communicated with a containing cavity for containing a sample to be tested, the plunger 143 is pushed to enable the sample to be tested to enter and exit the cylinder cavity 144, when the inlet and the outlet are aligned and communicated with the sample feeding channel 23 or the sample discharging channel 24, the plunger 143 is pushed to enable the sample to be tested to enter and exit the reaction zone 2, so that the sample to be tested can be controlled to enter or exit the reaction zone 2 through the movement of the plunger 143, and the operation is convenient. Here, a control member is connected to the plunger 143, and the control member controls the plunger 143 to move in the cylinder.
The temperature control flow channel 2123 includes a plurality of flow channels, the control component controls the plunger 143 to move, so that the plunger 143 controls the sample to be tested to flow into the temperature control flow channel 2123, at this moment, the plunger 143 controls the sample to be tested to flow into one flow channel, and the sample to be tested at least fills up a part of the flow channel, stays for 4s-6s, controls the denaturation and renaturation of DNA, then the plunger 143 moves again, and circulates reciprocally until the sample to be tested all enters the detection area 211 for detection through the temperature control flow channel 2123, and the stay time is in seconds, so that the stay time of the sample to be tested in the whole amplification area 212 is shorter, so that the detection time of the whole kit is shorter, and meanwhile, the sample to be tested can control the denaturation and renaturation of DNA in each flow channel, so that the target gene can be amplified for multiple times, so that the concentration of the target gene can be improved rapidly in a shorter time, and the accuracy of the detection result can be improved.
Here, the temperature control channels 2123 are provided in advance, so that the number and volume of channels in the temperature control channels 2123 are also known, and the volume of the sample to be measured is also known, and the structure inside the cartridge body 1 is also known, so that the control part can control the sample to be measured to flow into the reaction region 2 by controlling the moving distance of the plungers 143. Of course, the volume of the sample to be measured can be filled with half flow channels, one flow channel, two flow channels or a plurality of flow channels, and can be specifically determined according to the volume of the sample to be measured injected into the accommodating cavity.
For example, the volume of the sample to be measured can fill up half of the channels, by pushing the plunger 143 to move downward, the sample to be measured in the accommodating cavity can be pushed to the sample injection channel 23, then flows to one of the channels 2123, and fills up the high temperature constant temperature area of the first channel, after filling up, the control part controls the plunger 143 to move downward again, then gives a pulse to the sample to be measured, makes it enter the low temperature constant temperature area of the first flow tube, after the sample to be measured stays for 4s-6s, the control part controls the plunger 143 to move downward again, makes it enter the high temperature constant temperature area of the second channel, after the sample to be measured stays for 4s-6s, the control part controls the plunger 143 to move downward, makes it enter the low temperature constant temperature area of the second flow channel, and after the sample to be measured stays for 4s-6s, and so on, the sample to be measured flows into the detection area 211 after multiple amplifications, and detects in the detection area 211.
Or, the volume of the sample to be measured can fill up one flow channel, by pushing the plunger 143 to move downwards, the sample to be measured in the accommodating cavity can be pushed to the sample injection channel 23, then a part of the sample to be measured flows to one flow channel in the temperature control flow channel 2123 and fills up the high temperature constant temperature area of the first flow channel, after the part of the sample to be measured stays for 4s-6s, the control part further controls the plunger 143 to move downwards, then a pulse is given to the sample to be measured, so that the part of the sample to be measured enters the low temperature constant temperature area of the first flow channel, and meanwhile, another part of the sample to be measured enters the high temperature constant temperature area of the first flow channel to fill up the same, and stays for 4s-6s, the control part further controls the plunger 143 to move downwards, so that the sample to be measured enters the next flow channel, and then the sample to be measured flows into the detection area 211 after being amplified for multiple times and is detected in the detection area 211.
Or, the volume of the sample to be measured can fill up a plurality of channels, the amplification mode is the same as that when the volume of the sample to be measured can fill up one channel, but after the sample to be measured in the first channel enters the second channel, the first channel is filled up with the sample to be measured in the sample inlet channel 23, and so on, the sample to be measured flows into the detection area 211 after being amplified for a plurality of times, and is detected in the detection area 211.
The flow channel is divided into two parts by the high temperature constant temperature area and the low temperature constant temperature area, the length of the flow channel in the high temperature constant temperature area is the same as that of the flow channel in the low temperature constant temperature area (the two are basically the same, even if a small part of the flow channel is poor, the final result is not influenced), and the moving distance of the sample to be measured is the length of one half flow channel.
Because the runner size is less, so the sample to be measured has adhesive force on the surface of the runner, and the sample to be measured is difficult to flow by itself under the action of the adhesive force, and can move mainly by virtue of the movement of the plunger 143.
Meanwhile, the plunger 143 herein can be fully automatically controlled, and since the parameters are known, it can be fully controlled by the control part; alternatively, the plunger 143 may be semi-automatically controlled, and since the sealing film 25 is transparent, the movement of the plunger 143 may be controlled by manually observing the filling condition in the flow path and then manipulating the control member.
In some embodiments, when the temperature control flow channel 2123 and the sealing film 25 are not completely adhered, the inlet 2124 of the temperature control flow channel 2123 may be provided with a drainage plate 2126, the first end of the drainage plate 2126 is communicated with the inlet 2124 of the temperature control flow channel 2123, the second end of the drainage plate 2126 is communicated with the sample introduction channel 23, the drainage plate 2126 mainly plays the role of drainage and transition, and the height of the drainage plate 2126 may be slightly higher than that of the temperature control flow channel 2123, by setting the drainage plate 2126, the sample to be measured can be introduced into the inlet 2124 of the temperature control flow channel 2123, and then flows along the flow channel of the temperature control flow channel 2123, so as to prevent the sample to be measured from directly flowing to other positions of the amplification region 212, so as to further ensure that the sample to be measured can move according to the preset path of the temperature control flow channel 2123, and avoid loss of control of amplification of the sample to be measured.
Or, when the temperature control flow channel 2123 and the sealing film 25 are attached, the drainage plate 2126 may not be provided, the sample to be measured may directly enter the temperature control flow channel 2123 through the sample injection channel 23, at this time, the sample to be measured may flow into the high temperature constant temperature region of the first flow channel through the low temperature constant temperature region of the first flow channel, and then stay for 4s to 6s, and the subsequent amplification method is consistent with the above, so that no description is repeated here.

In summary, in the electrochemical detection kit provided in this embodiment, since the part of the section of the sample to be detected is already specifically paired with the signal probe before the sample to be detected enters the reaction chamber 21, after the sample to be detected after being specifically paired with the signal probe enters the reaction chamber 21, the remaining section of the sample to be detected is specifically paired with the capture probe, and triggers the signal probe, so that the signal probe changes the current or voltage of the sensing electrode 2112, and transmits the current signal or voltage signal to the external detection component, thereby being capable of carrying out qualitative detection on the sample to be detected, avoiding the fluorescent crosstalk problem by the detection method, and improving the accuracy of the detection result; the amplification region 212 is internally provided with a temperature control flow channel 2123, one part of the temperature control flow channel 2123 is located in a high temperature constant temperature region, the other part of the temperature control flow channel 2123 is located in a low temperature constant temperature region, so that a sample to be detected flows alternately between the high temperature constant temperature region and the low temperature constant temperature region along the temperature control flow channel 2123, when the sample to be detected flows to the detection region 211, the sample to be detected is amplified, the amplified sample to be detected is specifically paired with a capture probe, so that detection is completed, and the acquired target gene concentration in the sample to be detected is unknown, so that the condition that the sample to be detected flows into the detection region 211 and is missed to be detected after the sample to be detected is amplified, and the accuracy of a detection result is further improved.
The embodiment of the disclosure also provides a detection method, which comprises the following steps:
plunger 143 controls the sample to be tested to enter sample injection channel 23;
the sample to be measured in the sample injection channel 23 is controlled by the plunger 143 and flows into one flow channel in the temperature control flow channel 2123, and the sample to be measured at least fills part of the flow channel and stays for 4s-6s;
plunger 143 controls the sample to be tested to flow again, and to cycle back and forth until the sample to be tested all enters detection zone 211 through temperature control flow channel 2123;
the capture probe in the detection zone 211 specifically mates with the remaining section of the sample to be detected and triggers the signaling probe, causing the signaling probe to change the current or voltage of the sensing electrode 2112 and transmit the current signal or voltage signal to an external detection component.
