In addition, the present invention has the advantage of improving detection sensitivity by making a concentration of sample uniform during moving in channels and by lowering a speed of entering reaction zones.
Hereinafter, a high speed screening analysis system according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, illustrate embodiments of the invention and are not intended to limit the technical scope of the present invention.
In addition, the same or corresponding components will be denoted by the same reference numerals regardless of symbols, and redundant description thereof will be omitted. For convenience of explanation, the size and shape of each component shown may be exaggerated or reduced.
A sample is introduced into the sample injection part 110. As the sample is dropped into the sample injection part 110, the sample moves from the sample injection part 110 to the reactant-coating part 130. The sample injection part 110 is not coated with wax and is made of a hydrophilic material (for example, paper) itself.
A plurality of the reactant-coating parts 130 may be provided and disposed radially, for example, around the sample injection part 110. For example, twelve reactant-coating parts 130 may be provided as shown in
Each of the reactant-coating parts 130 may be coated with different organic ligands. For example, each of the twelve reactant-coating parts 130 of
Injecting micro channels 120 are also provided as many as the number of reactant-coating parts 130, and each of the injecting micro channels 120 connects the sample injection part 110 with each of the reactant-coating parts 130.
In addition, the injecting micro channel 120 may have a micropillar structure, as shown in
By providing the micropillars 121 in the injecting micro channel 120, while the sample moves in the injecting micro channel 120, the sample is vortexed by the micropillars 121 and thus the sample in the injecting micro channel 120 can move uniformly without rapidly moving to the reactant-coating part 130. In detail, while the sample moves through the injecting micro channel 120, the vortex effect of the components in the sample is occurred around the pillar by the hydrophobic micropillar 121. Therefore, the reaction may occur uniformly in the region where the reactant is coated. In addition, since the speed of the sample moving to the reactant-coating part 130 decreases due to the micropillar 121, thereby securing sufficient reaction time and improving detection sensitivity.
The micropillar 121 may be formed in a dot shape. Accordingly, the plurality of micropillars 121 arranged may have a configuration having a pattern in which the plurality of points are arranged spaced apart at regular intervals or at equal intervals.
The absorbing part 140 is connected with the reactant-coating part 130. Samples remaining after reacting in the reactant-coating part 130 may be absorbed in the absorbing part 140. The absorbing part 140 is not coated with wax, and is made of a hydrophilic material itself. High speed screening analysis system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a structure coated with wax on a hydrophilic material. Therefore, in the case where the absorbing part 140 is not provided at the edge of the high speed screening analysis system 100, which is a sensor composed of a hydrophilic material (paper), sample overflow may occur in the injecting micro channel 120, the reactant-coating part 130, and/or the discharging micro channel 150 when the amount of the sample exceeds the amount that can be accommodated by the sensor. In addition, in the case where the amount of the sample to be injected is increased, the absorbing part 140 is required to sufficiently move heavy metals contained in the sample to the reactant-coating part 130 to cause a reaction.
In other words, the presence of the absorbing part 140 allows the sample to better pass through the reactant-coating part 130 without retention in a particular zone, even in the case of excessive sample injection. In addition, by moving the sample to the absorbing part 140, the sample may continuously and uniformly be reacted while the sample from the sample injection part 110 passes through the reactant-coating part 130.
Meanwhile, the reactant-coating part 130 and the absorbing part 140 may be connected by the discharging micro channel 150, for example. The discharging micro channel 150 is not coated with wax, but is made of a hydrophilic material itself. Like the injecting micro channel 120, the discharging micro channel 150 may have a micropillar structure having a plurality of micropillars 151. The micropillar 151 may be formed of a hydrophobic wax-coated portion. A description overlapping with the description of the micropillar structure described in the injecting micro channel 120 will be omitted.
In summary, in the high speed screening analysis system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, there are disposed in the order of sample injection part 110-injecting micro channel 120-reactant-coating part 130-absorbing part 140 or there are disposed in the order of sample injection part 110-injecting micro channel 120-reactant-coating part 130-discharging micro channel 150-absorbing part 140.
In addition, the high speed screening analysis system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented in a configuration in which wax is coated on the hydrophilic plate-shaped material, as described above. The hydrophilic plate-shaped material may be made of, for example, paper, cellulose, or cotton, but in some cases various modifications and changes are possible such as wax coating on glass that is not hydrophilic. The high speed screening analysis system 100 may be implemented by, for example, a disc-shaped paper. In such a case, the sample injection part 110 is positioned at the center of the disc-shaped paper, and a plurality of pairs of injecting micro channel 120, reactant-coating part 130 and discharging micro channel 150 may be radially disposed around the sample injection part 110, respectively. The edge (circumference) of the disc-shaped paper may form an absorbing part 140.
However, the present invention is not limited to the above description, and the sample injection part 110 may be positioned at the center of the regular polygonal paper, and a plurality of pairs of injecting micro channel 120, reactant-coating part 130 and discharging micro channel 150 may be radially disposed, respectively. In addition, the shape of the high speed screening analysis system 100 and the arrangement of each component may be modified and changed in accordance with various environments in which the present invention is implemented.
As illustrated in
The sample injection pad 111 is coupled to protrude from the surface of the plate-shaped material, and may be made of the same material as the plate-shaped material. Also, the sample absorbing pad 141 is coupled to protrude from the surface of the plate-shaped material, and may be made of the same material as the plate-shaped material. That is, the sample injection pad 111 and the sample absorbing pad 141 may be manufactured in the same shape as that of the region of the sample injection part 110 and the region of the absorbing part 140, respectively, and coupled to the region of the sample injection part 110 and the region of the absorbing part 140 on the plate-shaped material, respectively. The sample injection pad 111 and the sample absorbing pad 141 may be made of, for example, paper, cellulose, or cotton, but in some cases various modifications and changes are possible such as wax coating on glass that is not hydrophilic.
The sample injection pad 111 and the sample absorbing pad 141 may be manufactured to have different densities from the plate-shaped material depending on the conditions for the storage capacity and the absorbing force of the sample. For example, the sample injection pad 111 and the sample absorbing pad 141 may be porous.
Hereinafter, an example in which the high speed screening analysis system 100 according to an example of the present invention is implemented as a high speed screening analysis system for optimizing heavy metal-organic ligand reaction will be described.
The high speed screening analysis system 100 may be implemented as a system based on disc-shaped paper. One sample injection part 110 may be provided at the center of the disc-shaped paper, and twelve reactant-coating parts 130 which are disposed radially around the sample injection part 110 may be provided. Twelve injecting micro channels 120 may be provided, and each of the injecting micro channels 120 may connect the sample injection part 110 and each of the reactant-coating parts 130. The absorbing part 140 may be disposed along the edge of the disc-shaped paper. Twelve discharging micro channels 150 may be provided and each of the discharging micro channels may connect each of the reactant-coating parts 130 and the absorbing part 140.
