Self-digitization chip for quantitative detection of human papillomavirus gene using digital LAMP.

ABSTRACT: Digital nucleic acid amplification and detection methods provide excellent sensitivity and specificity and allow absolute quantification of target nucleic acids. Isothermal methods such as digital loop-mediated isothermal amplification (digital LAMP) have potential for use in rapid disease diagnosis in low-resource settings due to their speed and lack of thermal cycling. We previously developed a self-digitization (SD) chip, a simple microfluidics device that automatically digitizes a sample into an array of nanoliter wells, for use in digital LAMP. In this work, we improve the SD chip design to increase sample loading efficiency, speed, and completeness, and test a range of well volumes and numbers. We demonstrate the diagnostic capability of this platform by applying it to quantifying human papillomavirus 18 gene.

Digital LAMP in a sample self-digitization (SD) chip.

Project description:This paper describes the realization of digital loop-mediated DNA amplification (dLAMP) in a sample self-digitization (SD) chip. Digital DNA amplification has become an attractive technique to quantify absolute concentrations of DNA in a sample. While digital polymerase chain reaction is still the most widespread implementation, its use in resource-limited settings is impeded by the need for thermal cycling and robust temperature control. In such situations, isothermal protocols that can amplify DNA or RNA without thermal cycling are of great interest. Here, we accomplished the successful amplification of single DNA molecules in a stationary droplet array using isothermal digital loop-mediated DNA amplification. Unlike most (if not all) existing methods for sample discretization, our design allows for automated, loss-less digitization of sample volumes on-chip. We demonstrated accurate quantification of relative and absolute DNA concentrations with sample volumes of less than 2 ?l. We assessed the homogeneity of droplet size during sample self-digitization in our device, and verified that the size variation was small enough such that straightforward counting of LAMP-active droplets sufficed for data analysis. We anticipate that the simplicity and robustness of our SD chip make it attractive as an inexpensive and easy-to-operate device for DNA amplification, for example in point-of-care settings.

A Double-Deck Self-Digitization Microfluidic Chip for Digital PCR.

Project description:In this work, a double-deck microfluidic chip was presented for digital PCR application. This chip consists of two reverse-placed micro-patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layers between the top and bottom glass substrates. Each micropatterned PDMS layer contains more than 20,000 cylindrical micro-chambers to hold the partitioned droplets. The double-deck designs can double the number of chambers and reagent capacity without changing the planar area of the chip. In addition, carbon black was mixed into the pure PDMS gel to obstruct the passage of fluorescence from the positive chambers between the two layers of the chip. Thus, the fluorescence signal of micro-chambers in different layers of the chip after PCR can be collected without mutual interference. The quantitative capability of the proposed chip was evaluated by measuring a 10-fold serial dilution of the DNA template. A high accuracy of the absolute quantification for nucleic acid with a dynamic range of 105 was demonstrated by this chip in this work. Owing to its characteristics of small planar area, large capacity, and sensitivity, the double-deck microfluidic chip is expected to further promote the extensive applications of digital PCR.

SD-chip enabled quantitative detection of HIV RNA using digital nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (dNASBA).

Project description:Quantitative detection of RNA is important in molecular biology and clinical diagnostics. Nucleic acid sequence-based amplification (NASBA), a single-step method to amplify single-stranded RNA, is attractive for use in point-of-care (POC) diagnostics because it is an isothermal technique that is as sensitive as RT-PCR with a shorter reaction time. However, NASBA is limited in its ability to provide accurate quantitative information, such as viral load or RNA copy number. Here we test a digital format of NASBA (dNASBA) using a self-digitization (SD) chip platform, and apply it to quantifying HIV-1 RNA. We demonstrate that dNASBA is more sensitive and accurate than the real-time quantitative NASBA, and can be used to quantify HIV-1 RNA in plasma samples. Digital NASBA is thus a promising POC diagnostics tool for use in resource-limited settings.

Self-digitization chip for single-cell genotyping of cancer-related mutations.

Project description:Cancer is a heterogeneous disease, and patient-level genetic assessments can guide therapy choice and impact prognosis. However, little is known about the impact of genetic variability within a tumor, intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH), on disease progression or outcome. Current approaches using bulk tumor specimens can suggest the presence of ITH, but only single-cell genetic methods have the resolution to describe the underlying clonal structures themselves. Current techniques tend to be labor and resource intensive and challenging to characterize with respect to sources of biological and technical variability. We have developed a platform using a microfluidic self-digitization chip to partition cells in stationary volumes for cell imaging and allele-specific PCR. Genotyping data from only confirmed single-cell volumes is obtained and subject to a variety of relevant quality control assessments such as allele dropout, false positive, and false negative rates. We demonstrate single-cell genotyping of the NPM1 type A mutation, an important prognostic indicator in acute myeloid leukemia, on single cells of the cell line OCI-AML3, describing a more complex zygosity distribution than would be predicted via bulk analysis.

Self-digitization microfluidic chip for absolute quantification of mRNA in single cells.

Project description:Quantification of mRNA in single cells provides direct insight into how intercellular heterogeneity plays a role in disease progression and outcomes. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), the current gold standard for evaluating gene expression, is insufficient for providing absolute measurement of single-cell mRNA transcript abundance. Challenges include difficulties in handling small sample volumes and the high variability in measurements. Microfluidic digital PCR provides far better sensitivity for minute quantities of genetic material, but the typical format of this assay does not allow for counting of the absolute number of mRNA transcripts samples taken from single cells. Furthermore, a large fraction of the sample is often lost during sample handling in microfluidic digital PCR. Here, we report the absolute quantification of single-cell mRNA transcripts by digital, one-step reverse transcription PCR in a simple microfluidic array device called the self-digitization (SD) chip. By performing the reverse transcription step in digitized volumes, we find that the assay exhibits a linear signal across a wide range of total RNA concentrations and agrees well with standard curve qPCR. The SD chip is found to digitize a high percentage (86.7%) of the sample for single-cell experiments. Moreover, quantification of transferrin receptor mRNA in single cells agrees well with single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization experiments. The SD platform for absolute quantification of single-cell mRNA can be optimized for other genes and may be useful as an independent control method for the validation of mRNA quantification techniques.

A Novel Self-Assembling DNA Nano Chip for Rapid Detection of Human Papillomavirus Genes.

Project description:Rapid detection of tumor-associated DNA such as Human Papillomavirus (HPV) has important clinical value for the early screening of tumors. By attaching oligonucleotides or cDNA onto the chip surface, DNA chip technology provides a rapid method to analyze gene expression. However, challenges remain regarding increasing probe density and improving detection time. To address these challenges, we proposed a DNA chip that was self-assembled from single stranded DNA in combination with high probe density and a rapid detection method. Over 200 probes could be attached to the surface of this 100-nm diameter DNA chip. For detection, the chips were adsorbed onto a mica surface and then incubated for ten minutes with HPV-DNA; the results were directly observable using atomic force microscopy (AFM). This bottom-up fabricated DNA nano chip combined with high probe density and direct AFM detection at the single molecule level will likely have numerous potential clinical applications for gene screening and the early diagnosis of cancer.

Self-digitization of sample volumes.

Project description:This paper describes a very simple and robust microfluidic device for digitizing samples into an array of discrete volumes. The device is based on an inherent fluidic phenomenon, where an incoming aqueous sample divides itself into an array of chambers that have been primed with an immiscible phase. Self-digitization of sample volumes results from the interplay between fluidic forces, interfacial tension, channel geometry, and the final stability of the digitized samples in the chambers. Here, we describe experiments and simulations that were used to characterize these parameters and the conditions under which the self-digitization process occurred. Unlike existing methods used to partition samples into an array, our method is able to digitize 100% of a sample into a localized array without any loss of sample volume. The final volume of the discretized sample at each location is defined by the geometry and size of each chamber. Thus, we can form an array of samples with varying but predefined volumes. We exploited this feature to separate the crystal growth of otherwise concomitant polymorphs from a single solution. Additionally, we demonstrated the removal of the digitized samples from the chambers for downstream analysis, as well as the addition of reagents to the digitized samples. We believe this simple method will be useful in a broad range of applications where a large array of discretized samples is required, including digital PCR, single-cell analysis, and cell-based drug screening.

A quantitative detection of mung bean in chestnut paste using duplex digital PCR.

Project description:Highly manufacturing process of chestnut paste leaves a considerable space for Economically Motivated Adulteration (EMA) with cheaper ingredients such as mung bean. In this paper a novel quantitative detection of mung bean in chestnut paste using duplex digital PCR was reported. Two sets of primers and probes were designed according to mung bean and chestnut specific genomic genes suitable for duplex droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and duplex chip digital PCR (cdPCR) to set up a mass ratio quantitative detection method for mung bean, a common alternative plant-derived ingredient in chestnut paste products. The manufacturing process of chestnut paste products was considered to establish the linear relationship formula between mass ratio and gene copy number (CN) ratio of the two ingredients. The limits of quantification for gene CN concentrations (LOQcopy) of mung bean and chestnut were both 6 copies/μL, at the same time a mass ratio of mung bean in chestnut paste range from 5% to 80% was able to be quantified accurately to provide technical support for the identification of fraudulent substitution or adventitious contamination.

Wet-Etched Microchamber Array Digital PCR Chip for SARS-CoV-2 Virus and Ultra-Early Stage Lung Cancer Quantitative Detection.

Project description:We report a novel design of chamber-based digital polymerase chain reaction (cdPCR) chip structure. Using a wet etching process and silicon-glass bonding, the chamber size can be adjusted independently of the process and more feasibly in a normal lab. In addition, the structure of the chip is optimized through hydrodynamic computer simulations to eliminate dead space when the sample is injected into the chip. The samples will be distributed to each separated microchambers for an isolated reaction based on Poisson distribution. Due to the difference in expansion coefficients, isolation of the sample in the microchambers by the oil phase on top ensures homogeneity and independence of the sample in the microchambers. The prepared microarray cdPCR chip enables high-throughput and high-sensitivity quantitative measurement of the SARS-CoV-2 virus gene and the mutant lung cancer gene. We applied the chip for the detection of different concentrations of the mix containing the open reading frame 1ab (ORF1ab) gene, the most specific and conservative gene region of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In addition to this, we also successfully detected the fluorescence of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant gene in independent microchambers. At a throughput of 46 200 microchambers, solution mixtures containing both genes were successfully tested quantitatively, with a detection limit of 10 copies/μL. Importantly, the chips are individually inexpensive and easy to industrialize. In addition, the microarray can provide a unified solution for other viral sequences, cancer marker assay development, and point-of-care testing (POCT).

Wide-field optical detection of nanoparticles using on-chip microscopy and self-assembled nanolenses.

Project description:The direct observation of nanoscale objects is a challenging task for optical microscopy because the scattering from an individual nanoparticle is typically weak at optical wavelengths. Electron microscopy therefore remains one of the gold standard visualization methods for nanoparticles, despite its high cost, limited throughput and restricted field-of-view. Here, we describe a high-throughput, on-chip detection scheme that uses biocompatible wetting films to self-assemble aspheric liquid nanolenses around individual nanoparticles to enhance the contrast between the scattered and background light. We model the effect of the nanolens as a spatial phase mask centred on the particle and show that the holographic diffraction pattern of this effective phase mask allows detection of sub-100 nm particles across a large field-of-view of >20 mm2. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we report on-chip detection of individual polystyrene nanoparticles, adenoviruses and influenza A (H1N1) viral particles.
