Such an apparatus for detecting the temperature of a sequencing reaction has two disadvantages in that, on the one hand, the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is not the temperature of a reagent for performing a sequencing reaction, and thus, there is an error in detecting the temperature of a sequencing reaction; the temperature of a reagent for detecting a sequencing reaction is always a difficult problem in the field of gene sequencing, and generally, a sequencing reaction chamber needs to be replaced after a sequencing reaction is carried out once, a temperature measuring device does not need to be replaced, so that the temperature measuring device cannot be replaced when the sequencing reaction chamber is replaced in consideration of the cost problem, and a temperature measuring device is not generally installed in the sequencing reaction chamber; more importantly, if the temperature measuring device for measuring the temperature is arranged in the sequencing reaction chamber, the temperature measuring point and the sequencing reaction chamber are difficult to realize complete sealing, and the problem of liquid leakage is easy to occur, so that the sequencing reaction can not be normally carried out. On the other hand, the temperature sensor of the temperature detection device is in contact with the sequencing reaction chamber, and when temperature measurement is carried out, air convection on the surface of the sequencing reaction chamber easily influences the temperature measurement, so that the temperature measurement is prone to deviation, and the temperature measurement precision is low.

Therefore, a new sequencing reaction chamber is needed, which can avoid the influence of the air convection on the surface of the sequencing reaction chamber on the temperature measurement, improve the accuracy of the sequencing reaction temperature measurement, and enable the measured temperature to be closer to the temperature of the reagent of the sequencing reaction.

Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

The present invention provides a first embodiment, which provides a sequencing reaction chamber, wherein a plurality of DNA fragments are fixed in the sequencing reaction chamber, and a reaction reagent flows through the DNA fragments, so that a gene sequencing reaction between the reaction reagent and the DNA fragments is realized. As shown in fig. 1 and 4, the sequencing reaction chamber comprises afirst substrate 10 and asecond substrate 20, wherein the lower surface of thefirst substrate 10 is attached to the upper surface of thesecond substrate 20, so that thefirst substrate 10 and thesecond substrate 20 are sealed; at least one hollow reaction channel is formed between thefirst substrate 10 and thesecond substrate 20, when only one reaction channel is provided, a single-channel gene sequencing reaction is realized, and when a plurality of reaction channels are provided, a plurality of channels can be sequenced in parallel. Thesecond substrate 20 is provided with areagent inlet 101 communicated with the reaction channel, thereagent inlet 101 is communicated with a pipeline for supplying a reaction reagent from the outside, and the reaction reagent required by the gene sequencing reaction is introduced into the reaction channel through thereagent inlet 101; thesecond substrate 20 is further provided with areagent outlet 102 communicating with the reaction channel, thereagent outlet 102 is communicated with a conduit for discharging a reaction reagent, and the reaction reagent after the gene sequencing reaction occurs flows out through thereagent outlet 102. in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, thereagent inlet 101 and thereagent outlet 102 are both provided on thesecond substrate 20, but different examples of thereagent inlet 101 and thereagent outlet 102 will be described in detail below.

Further, a heating slide 30 for heating a reagent in the reaction channel is attached to the upper surface of thefirst substrate 10, and when the reaction reagent is introduced from thereagent inlet 101 and flows through the reaction channel, the heating slide 30 heats the reaction reagent, and thereafter the reaction reagent flows out from thereagent outlet 102. Aprotrusion 40 is disposed on thesecond substrate 20 corresponding to the reaction channel, atemperature measuring hole 401 is disposed on theprotrusion 40, and a temperature measuring probe for detecting the temperature of the reaction reagent in the reaction channel is accommodated in thetemperature measuring hole 401. When only one reaction channel is provided, as shown in fig. 2, after thefirst substrate 10 is attached to thesecond substrate 20, the pattern of the reaction channel projected on thesecond substrate 20 is shown by theshaded portion 400 in fig. 2, and theprotrusion 40 is projected on thesecond substrate 20 across the reaction channel, and at the same time, in order to avoid the influence of theprotrusion 40 blocking the fluorescence signal in the reaction channel and the collection of the fluorescence signal, theprotrusion 40 is disposed near thereagent inlet 101, but it should be noted that theprotrusion 40 may also be disposed near thereagent outlet 102. In the process of the gene sequencing reaction, the temperature of the reaction reagent in the reaction channel needs to be regulated to meet the requirement of the gene sequencing reaction, and the heating of theheating slide 30 is adopted in the embodiment; meanwhile, in the process of the gene sequencing reaction, the temperature of the reaction reagent in the reaction channel needs to be monitored, so that the temperature of the reaction reagent is kept in a required temperature range. Because the reaction channel needs to be filled with a reaction reagent, the leakage can not occur, and the temperature sensor or the temperature probe for detecting the temperature can not be arranged in the reaction channel, the reason is that the sealing of the sequencing reaction chamber can not be realized after the temperature sensor or the temperature probe is arranged in the reaction channel, and the leakage is easy to occur; because thefirst substrate 10 and thesecond substrate 20 are generally thin, the temperature measuring probe or the temperature sensor is difficult to be arranged in the reaction channel; in addition, the sequencing reaction chamber needs to be replaced after the gene sequencing reaction, and even if the temperature probe or the temperature sensor can be installed in the reaction channel, the temperature sensor or the temperature probe is troublesome to mount and dismount when the sequencing reaction chamber is replaced. In view of the above, in the prior art, in order to detect the temperature of the reaction reagent in the reaction channel, a common technical solution is to mount a temperature sensor or a temperature probe on the surface of the sequencing reaction chamber, and measure the temperature of the reaction reagent in the reaction channel; however, this temperature measurement method is an indirect measurement method, the temperature measured by the temperature sensor is the temperature on the surface of the sequencing reaction chamber, and when the temperature is not completely equal to the temperature of the reaction reagent in the reaction channel, a large error occurs in the temperature measurement result; when the temperature sensor is mounted on the surface of the sequencing reaction chamber, the air convection on the surface of the sequencing reaction chamber affects the measurement of the temperature, and the measurement result of the temperature sensor is deviated.

Specifically, in the prior art, when a temperature sensor is used to directly measure the temperature on the surface of the sequencing reaction chamber, as shown in fig. 3, thetemperature sensor 50 is attached to thesequencing reaction chamber 100, thesequencing reaction chamber 100 is heated by heating theslide 30, anisotherm 1001 as shown in fig. 3 is formed inside thesequencing reaction chamber 100, and a certain difference exists between the surface temperature and the internal temperature of thesequencing reaction chamber 100, which causes an error in temperature measurement; meanwhile, by directly disposing thetemperature sensor 50 on the surface of thesequencing reaction chamber 100, the air convection on the surface of thesequencing reaction chamber 100 can affect the measurement of thetemperature sensor 50. As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, when theprotrusion 40 is disposed on thesecond substrate 20 of the sequencing reaction chamber and thetemperature measuring hole 401 is disposed in theprotrusion 40, the temperature is measured by the temperature measuring probe extending into thetemperature measuring hole 401, because theprotrusion 40 is disposed on thesecond substrate 20, in the preferred embodiment, theprotrusion 40 and thesecond substrate 20 are integrally formed, and theisotherm 1001 as shown in FIG. 4 is formed in thesecond substrate 20, the temperature inside thetemperature measuring hole 401 is closer to the temperature inside thesecond substrate 20, and the temperature measured by the temperature measuring probe extending into thetemperature measuring hole 401 is closer to the temperature of the reaction reagent of the gene sequencing reaction than the measurement mode in FIG. 2; moreover, due to the existence of thetemperature measuring hole 401, the temperature measuring probe or the temperature sensor is arranged in thetemperature measuring hole 401, so that the influence of air convection on temperature measurement on the surface of thesequencing reaction chamber 100 can be well avoided, the accuracy of the temperature measurement of the gene sequencing reaction is improved, and the measured temperature is closer to the temperature of a reaction reagent of the gene sequencing reaction.

It should be further noted that, in the prior art, a stable thermal radiation surface is arranged on the sequencing reaction chamber to heat the reaction reagent in the reaction channel, due to the structural limitation of the sequencing device, the temperature measurement point is generally arranged beside the thermal radiation surface, when the thermal radiation surface continuously heats the reaction reagent in the reaction channel, and after a period of time, the temperature of the thermal radiation surface, the temperature of the reaction reagent, the temperature of the sequencing reaction chamber and the temperature of the temperature measurement point all tend to be consistent, and the temperature measurement is realized by the temperature sensor of the temperature measurement point; although the temperature of the reaction reagent can be measured by the method, the temperature measuring point and the thermal radiation surface are positioned on the same surface, so that the temperature of the thermal radiation surface can influence the temperature measurement of the temperature measuring point, and the temperature measuring accuracy is reduced. In this embodiment, theheating slide 30 is disposed on the upper surface of thefirst substrate 10, theprotrusion 40 is disposed on thesecond substrate 20 at a position corresponding to the reaction channel, and in this embodiment, theprotrusion 40 is projected on thesecond substrate 20 across the reaction channel, so that the position of thetemperature measuring hole 401 is closer to the reaction channel. Through the design of the structure, theheating slide 30 for heating is arranged on the upper surface of the sequencing reaction chamber, thetemperature measuring hole 401 for measuring temperature is arranged on the lower surface of the sequencing reaction chamber, or theheating slide 30 for heating is arranged on the lower surface of the sequencing reaction chamber, thetemperature measuring hole 401 for measuring temperature is arranged on the upper surface of the sequencing reaction chamber, and the position of thetemperature measuring hole 401 is far away from theheating slide 30, so that the influence on temperature measurement when theheating slide 30 is heated is avoided, and the accuracy of gene sequencing reaction temperature measurement is improved.

For thetemperature measuring hole 401 on theprotrusion 40, in the example shown in fig. 1 and 2, the extending direction of thetemperature measuring hole 401 is perpendicular to thesecond glass substrate 20. As shown in fig. 5, the present invention further provides an example of thetemperature measuring hole 401 of theprotrusion 40, thetemperature measuring hole 401 is disposed on the sidewall of theprotrusion 40, the extending direction of thetemperature measuring hole 401 is parallel to thesecond substrate 20, and this structure of the temperature measuring hole is suitable for the case that the temperature measuring probe is located at one side of the sequencing reaction chamber, and in this example, because the extending direction of thetemperature measuring hole 401 is parallel to thesecond substrate 20, when the temperature measuring probe is inserted into thetemperature measuring hole 401, the surface of thesecond substrate 20 can play a role of guiding the insertion of the temperature measuring probe, so that the temperature measuring probe can be conveniently inserted into the temperature measuring hole. Furthermore, a chamfer angle with a guiding function can be arranged at the opening of thetemperature measuring hole 401, so that the temperature measuring probe can be more conveniently inserted into the temperature measuring hole.

As for theprotrusion 40, in the example shown in fig. 1 and 2, theprotrusion 40 has a square structure, however, the structure of theprotrusion 40 does not affect the protection scope of the present invention, for example, theprotrusion 40 may be designed to be cylindrical, or theprotrusion 40 may be designed to be truncated cone in order to increase the contact area of theprotrusion 40 and the second substrate; and the shape can be designed into other shapes according to requirements. In addition, in the example shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, thetemperature measuring hole 401 is a circular blind hole, but the shape of thetemperature measuring hole 401 can be set according to requirements, preferably, the shape of thetemperature measuring hole 401 is the same as the shape of the temperature measuring probe, and after the temperature measuring probe extends into thetemperature measuring hole 401, the outer surface of the temperature measuring probe forms a good fit with the inner wall of thetemperature measuring hole 401, so that the influence on the temperature measurement result due to a large gap between the outer surface of the temperature measuring probe and the inner wall of thetemperature measuring hole 401 is avoided; further, in order to improve the heat conduction efficiency between the inner wall of the temperature measurement hole and the temperature measurement probe, heat-conducting silica gel is filled in the temperature measurement hole, and the heat on theprotrusion 40 is transferred to the temperature measurement probe under the action of the heat-conducting silica gel.

On the basis of the above embodiments, the present invention provides an example for the reaction channel, in this example, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, afirst groove 103 is provided on the lower surface of thefirst substrate 10, thefirst groove 103 may be a single groove or multiple parallel grooves, and after thefirst substrate 10 and thesecond substrate 20 are attached to each other, thefirst groove 103 and thesecond substrate 20 surround to form the reaction channel; in addition, in this example, thesecond substrate 20 is provided with areagent inlet 101 and areagent outlet 102 which are communicated with the reaction channel, the number of thereagent inlet 101 and thereagent outlet 102 is determined according to the number of thefirst grooves 103, when there is onefirst groove 103, onereagent inlet 101 and onereagent outlet 102 are provided, which are respectively corresponding to the head end and the tail end of thefirst groove 103; when thefirst groove 103 is a plurality of grooves, eachfirst groove 103 is provided with areagent inlet 101 and areagent outlet 102. As shown in fig. 10, as an alternative embodiment of the reaction channel, afirst groove 103 may be further disposed on the upper surface of thesecond substrate 20, and after thefirst substrate 10 is attached to thesecond substrate 20, thefirst groove 103 and thefirst substrate 10 enclose to form the reaction channel; similarly, thesecond substrate 20 is provided with areagent inlet 101 and areagent outlet 102 communicating with the reaction channel. In addition, as shown in fig. 6, as another alternative embodiment of the reaction channel, the lower surface of thefirst substrate 10 is provided with afirst groove 103, the upper surface of thesecond substrate 20 is also provided with afirst groove 103, thefirst groove 103 on thefirst substrate 10 and thefirst groove 103 on thesecond substrate 20 have the same shape, and after thefirst substrate 10 and thesecond substrate 20 are attached to each other, thefirst groove 103 on thefirst substrate 10 and thefirst groove 103 on thesecond substrate 20 form the reaction channel.

While there are many different combinations of solutions for the location of the reagent outlet and the reagent outlet in the above examples, both the reagent outlet and the reagent outlet are provided on thesecond substrate 20 in the examples described in fig. 1 or fig. 6. In an alternative embodiment (not shown), the reagent outlet may be disposed on a first substrate, and the reagent outlet may be disposed on the first substrate, and in addition, the reagent outlet may be disposed on the first substrate while the reagent outlet is disposed on a second substrate; or the reagent outlet is arranged on the second substrate, the reagent outlet is arranged on the first substrate, and the reagent outlet can be communicated with the reaction channel of the sequencing reaction chamber and the reaction reagent flows out from the reagent outlet.

The present invention also provides an example of the sequencing reaction chamber, which is different from the embodiment of fig. 1 in that reagent buffer regions for accommodating reaction reagents are respectively disposed at two ends of a reaction channel of the sequencing reaction chamber, areagent inlet 101 is communicated with one of the reagent buffer regions, areagent outlet 102 is communicated with the other reagent buffer region, in this example, as shown in fig. 7, afirst groove 103 is disposed on a lower surface of thefirst substrate 10, thefirst groove 103 and thesecond substrate 20 enclose to form the reaction channel, and the reagent buffer regions aresecond grooves 104 disposed on the lower surface of thefirst substrate 10 and at two ends of thefirst groove 103. Compared with thefirst groove 103, thesecond groove 104 can contain more reaction reagents, when the reaction reagents required by the gene sequencing reaction are introduced into the reaction channel through thereagent inlet 101, before the reaction reagents enter the reaction channel, the reaction reagents firstly enter the reagent buffer area at one end of the reaction channel, after the reagent buffer area is filled, the reaction reagents enter the hollow reaction channel again to generate the gene sequencing reaction with the sample to be detected in the reaction channel, when a plurality of reaction channels are provided, the reagents simultaneously enter each reaction channel to generate the gene sequencing reaction with the sample to be detected in the plurality of reaction channels; then the reaction reagent flows out and enters a reagent buffer zone at the other end of the reaction channel, and the reaction reagent is collected in the reagent buffer zone and then is discharged from a pipeline for discharging the reaction reagent. Because the reagent buffer zone exists, a certain amount of reaction reagent can be stored in the reagent buffer zone, the reaction reagent can flow into the reagent buffer zone before flowing into the reaction channel, the reagent buffer zone is favorable for uniformly discharging air in each reaction channel, the internal pressure of the reaction reagent is consistent when the reaction reagent enters the reaction channels, and the reaction reagent can uniformly pass through each reaction channel, so that the uniformity of the flow speed and the uniformity of the diffusivity of each reaction channel are ensured.

In the sequencing reaction chamber with a plurality of channels in the prior art, due to the plurality of reaction channels, thereagent inlet 101 and thereagent outlet 102 of each reaction channel need to be connected with a pipeline for the inlet and the outlet of the reaction reagent; the sequencing reaction chamber with the structure has a very complicated and complicated structure, and when the sequencing reaction chamber is cleaned, a plurality of pipelines need to be disassembled, so that the sequencing reaction chamber is very inconvenient, and the poor sealing is easy to occur in the disassembling and assembling processes, thereby causing the liquid leakage in the gene sequencing reaction process. In the multi-channel sequencing reaction chamber in the embodiment, due to the arrangement of the reagent buffer area, gene sequencing reactions of a plurality of channels can be completed only by accessing one pipeline into the reagent buffer area, so that the structure of the multi-channel sequencing reaction chamber is simplified; when the sequencing reaction chamber needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the inside of the sequencing reaction chamber can be cleaned only by disassembling a liquid inlet pipeline communicated with thereagent inlet 101 and a liquid outlet pipeline communicated with thereagent outlet 102, so that the convenience is high, and the condition of liquid leakage in the gene sequencing reaction process caused by poor sealing in the disassembling and assembling processes is reduced. Therefore, the sequencing reaction chamber in the example can be reused for many times in the actual use process, and compared with the disposable reaction chamber in the prior art, the invention greatly reduces the cost of equipment.

For the reagent buffer, the present invention also provides an example, as shown in fig. 8, in which the sequencing reaction chamber includes afirst substrate 10 and asecond substrate 20, and in which the sequencing reaction chamber is different from the example shown in fig. 1 in that: thefirst groove 103 is disposed on the upper surface of thesecond substrate 20. In this example, as shown in fig. 8, two ends of the reaction channel of the sequencing reaction chamber are respectively provided with a reagent buffer area for containing a reaction reagent, thereagent inlet 101 is communicated with one of the reagent buffer areas, thereagent outlet 102 is communicated with the other reagent buffer area, in this example, the upper surface of thesecond substrate 20 is provided with afirst groove 103, thefirst substrate 10 and thefirst groove 103 enclose to form the reaction channel, and the reagent buffer areas aresecond grooves 104 arranged at two ends of the reaction channel.

As shown in fig. 9, which is a three-dimensional structure diagram of an embodiment of thesecond substrate 20 in fig. 8, in this example, six parallelfirst grooves 103 are formed on the upper surface of thesecond substrate 20, thefirst substrate 10 and thesecond substrate 20 are attached to form a six-channel sequencing reaction chamber, when performing a gene sequencing reaction, a reagent injected through thereagent inlet 101 first enters a reagent buffer area located at thereagent inlet 101, after continuously injecting a reaction reagent, the reaction reagent fills the reagent buffer area located at thereagent inlet 101, then simultaneously enters the six reaction channels, performs a gene sequencing reaction with a sample to be tested fixed in the reaction channels respectively, then flows out and enters the reagent buffer area located at thereagent outlet 102, after the reaction reagent is collected in the reagent buffer area, is discharged from a conduit for discharging the reaction reagent, and continuously injects the reaction reagent, the reaction reagent continuously flows through the reaction channel to perform gene sequencing reaction with the sample to be detected. Due to the existence of the reagent buffer zone, before the reaction reagent is introduced into the reaction channel or after the reaction reagent flows out of the reaction channel, the reagent buffer zone can store a certain amount of reaction reagent, so that the uniformity of the flow speed and the uniformity of the diffusivity of each reaction channel are ensured. The structure of the multi-channel sequencing reaction chamber is simplified, when the sequencing reaction chamber needs to be disassembled and cleaned, only a liquid inlet pipeline communicated with thereagent inlet 101 and a liquid outlet pipeline communicated with thereagent outlet 102 need to be disassembled, and after thefirst substrate 10 is separated from thesecond substrate 20, the reaction channel, the reagent buffer area, thereagent inlet 101 and thereagent outlet 102 of the sequencing reaction chamber can be cleaned. When thefirst substrate 10 and thesecond substrate 20 are mounted, since thereagent inlet 101, thereagent outlet 102, the reaction channel, and the reagent buffer are all disposed on thesecond substrate 20, the mounting is very convenient. When the sequencing reaction chamber in this example is placed vertically and thereagent inlet 101 is located at the lower position, after the reaction reagent is introduced, the reaction reagent first fills the reagent buffer zone located at the reagent outlet and then simultaneously enters the six reaction channels, thereby facilitating the uniform discharge of air from each reaction channel.

As for the position of the reagent buffer area, as shown in fig. 10, the present invention further provides an example, and the structure of thesecond substrate 20 in this example is the same as the structure in the example shown in fig. 8 and 10, and the structure of thesecond substrate 20 is not described in detail in this example, except that the lower surface of thefirst substrate 10 is also provided with asecond groove 104, and the shape of thesecond groove 104 provided on thefirst substrate 10 is the same as the shape of thesecond groove 104 on thesecond substrate 20, and after thefirst substrate 10 is attached to thesecond substrate 20, thesecond groove 104 provided on thefirst substrate 10 is matched with thesecond groove 104 on thesecond substrate 20 to form the reagent buffer area. In this example, when the sequencing reaction chamber is laid flat, i.e. thefirst substrate 10 is located below thesecond substrate 20 and in a horizontal position, the reagent introduced through thereagent inlet 101 first enters the reagent buffer zone, and enters the reaction channel after filling the second groove located on thefirst substrate 10, and the reagent buffer zone buffers the reagent.

Through the design of the structure, after the sequencing reaction chamber is vertically arranged on the sequencing device, as shown in fig. 11, in the process of injecting the reagent into thereagent buffer zone 500, as the reagent buffer zone is designed to be semicircular, the flow rates of the points A, B and C shown in fig. 11 are more uniform, so that the flow rates of any position in the reagent buffer zone are more uniform, and the uniformity of the flow rate and the uniformity of the diffusivity of each reaction channel are ensured; so that the sequencing reactions in the multiple reaction channels are performed simultaneously. It should be noted that the above-mentioned scheme does not set any limit to the structure of the reagent buffer, the size and shape of the reagent buffer can be designed according to actual needs, for example, the reagent buffer can be square or rectangular, and the scheme shown in fig. 11 is only a preferred example. As shown in FIG. 12, another example of thereagent buffer 500 is shown, in which thereagent buffer 500 has a triangular shape, and the flow rate uniformity and the diffusion uniformity of each reaction channel are ensured by the design of the triangular structure during the injection of the reagent into thereagent buffer 500, so that the sequencing reactions in a plurality of reaction channels can be performed simultaneously.

As for the sequencing reaction chamber, the present invention further provides an example, as shown in fig. 13, the sequencing reaction chamber includes afirst substrate 10 and asecond substrate 20, in this example, thefirst substrate 10 is a first glass substrate, thesecond substrate 20 includes aPDMS interlayer 201 and asecond glass substrate 202, thePDMS interlayer 201 is located between the first glass substrate and thesecond glass substrate 202, a strip-shaped throughhole 2010 is disposed on thePDMS interlayer 201, and the reaction channel is enclosed by the first glass substrate, the strip-shaped throughhole 2010, and thesecond glass substrate 202; theheated slide 30 is disposed on the upper surface of thefirst substrate 10, and thesecond glass substrate 202 is provided with areagent inlet 101 and areagent outlet 102, thereagent inlet 101 and thereagent outlet 102 being communicated with the reaction channel. Further, as shown in fig. 13, the length of the PDMS interlayer 201 is equal to that of the first glass substrate, and the PDMS interlayer 201 is slightly longer than the second glass substrate 202, when the first glass substrate, the PDMS interlayer 201, and the second glass substrate 202 are bonded, one end of the lower surface of the PDMS interlayer 201 is not covered by the second glass substrate 202, the bump 40 is disposed on the lower surface of the PDMS interlayer 201 that is not covered by the second glass substrate 202, as shown in fig. 14, which is a schematic three-dimensional structure diagram of the PDMS interlayer 201 and the second glass substrate 202, in this example, the bump 40 spans the through hole 2010 in the shape of a bar on the extension line of the PDMS interlayer 201, and when the second glass substrate 202 is bonded on the PDMS interlayer 201, the bump 40 leans against the side wall 1020 of the second glass substrate 202, and the structure of the bump 40 is designed such that the position of the temperature measuring hole 401 on the bump 40 is close to the reaction channel, the temperature in the temperature measuring hole 401 is closer to the temperature of a reaction reagent of the gene sequencing reaction, and the accuracy of the temperature measurement of the gene sequencing reaction is improved.

In this example, theprotrusion 40 and thePDMS interlayer 201 are integrally formed, and since thePDMS interlayer 201 has a soft texture, after the temperature measuring probe extends into thetemperature measuring hole 401, the temperature measuring probe can be tightly attached to the inner wall of thetemperature measuring hole 401, and the temperature on thePDMS interlayer 201 can be well transferred to the temperature measuring probe through the action of thetemperature measuring hole 401, so as to measure the temperature of the reaction reagent in the gene sequencing reaction.

The accuracy of the gene sequencing reaction temperature measurement is improved.

In addition, in the sequencing reaction chamber of the present invention, when performing a gene sequencing reaction, a fluorescent signal at the time of the gene sequencing reaction needs to be captured by a mapping device. When the sequencing reaction chamber has a two-piece structure, as shown in fig. 6, the image capture device collects the fluorescence signal, and the fluorescence signal can be captured by the image capture device only by passing through thesecond substrate 20; when thesecond substrate 20 is made of PDMS, the PDMS may autofluorescence, and interfere with the collection of the fluorescence signal of the image capturing device. In the present example, the sequencing reaction chamber has a three-layer structure, wherein thePDMS interlayer 201 is disposed between the first glass substrate and thesecond glass substrate 202, and since thePDMS interlayer 201 is provided with the strip-shaped throughhole 2010, when the image capture device collects the fluorescence signal, the autofluorescence on thePDMS interlayer 201 is not collected, and therefore the autofluorescence on thePDMS interlayer 201 does not interfere with the collection of the fluorescence signal of the image capture device.
