  • Publication number: 20240139734
    Abstract: A biological particle enrichment apparatus and a pico-droplet generator thereof are provided. The pico-droplet generator includes a container, a hollow needle connected to the container, a first piezoelectric member disposed on the container, and a second piezoelectric member disposed on the hollow needle. The container can receive a liquid specimen having biological particles. The hollow needle and the container are fluid communicated with each other, and an inner diameter of the container is within a range from 5 times to 30 times of an inner diameter of the hollow needle. The first piezoelectric member is annularly disposed on a surrounding lateral side of the container, and enables the biological particles in the container to move along a direction away from the surrounding lateral side by vibrating the container. The second piezoelectric member can squeeze the hollow needle, so that the liquid specimen flows outwardly to form a pico-droplet.

  • Publication number: 20240142459
    Abstract: A biological particle analysis method is provided and includes the following steps: fluorescence staining a liquid specimen through a fluorescence staining process so as to enable a target biological particle in the liquid specimen to becomes a fluorescence; accommodating the liquid specimen into a pico-droplet generator and using a camera device to take a real-time image of the liquid specimen; using the pico-droplet generator to output a target pico-droplet having the target biological particle onto a biochip according to the real-time image; removing the fluorescent color of the target biological particle in the target pico-droplet through a washing process; and fluorescence staining the target biological particle captured by the biochip at multiple times through the fluorescence staining process and the washing process, so as to obtain a plurality of fluorescence images respectively corresponding to multiple kinds of biological characterization expressions.
