Problems solved by technology

However, so far there is no instrument that combines the two instruments to detect biomolecules
Liu Tao and others used QCM and Eileen T.Dimalanta and others used microfluidic chips to detect DNA. The former relies on manual sample loading steps, which are cumbersome and time-consuming, while the latter requires complex detection devices and sample labeling.

Abstract

The invention relates to a biological molecule detecting system combing a micro-fluidic chip with a micro-valve and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The system is characterized in that a shock-proof and ant-static platform is provided with the micro-fluidic chip with the micro-valve and a precise thermostatic chamber connected with the QCM; a sample in the micro-fluidic chip controls the micro-valve to open and close in an intermittent mode through airflow formed by a vacuum pump and an air inlet system controlled by an electromagnetic valve; the QCM is connected with a data collecting device through a frequency collector and arranged on a three-dimensional moving device with X, Y and Z directions; the center of the QCM is precisely abutted with a sample outlet of the micro-fluidic chip with the micro-valve for sampling; after the adsorption of the sample, a minitype water pump sweeps non-adsorbed sample, an air inlet device blows and dries the sample, and the QCM changes the frequency to detect certain biological molecules; the data collecting device is connected with the frequency collector, the precise thermostatic chamber, the electromagnetic valve control device and the three-dimensional moving device with X, Y and Z directions. The system has the functions of preprocessing sample and fast and conveniently detecting biological molecules.
