Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of immunochromatography technology, and specifically relates to a silicon-coated colored fluorescent microsphere and a mild preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Immunochromatography is an analytical method developed at the end of the 20th century that combines immunoassay and chromatography. This method is specific, simple to operate, and rapid, and is widely used in important fields such as clinical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and food safety. As a new type of immunoassay technology, time-resolved fluorescence immunochromatography is developed based on fluorescence immunochromatography. It is usually a surface carboxylated polystyrene microsphere with rare earth complexes embedded inside. It is coupled with antibodies through chemical binding, and the fluorescence intensity is used to achieve the purpose of quantitative analysis of the object to be detected.

[0003] Time-resolved fluorescent microspheres are the key raw materials for time-resolved immunochromatography. The traditional preparation method is mainly the swelling method. The preparation method is as follows: first, prepare surface carboxyl-coated polystyrene microspheres; second, generally select rare earth element compounds such as Eu2O3, EuCl3·6H2O, Yb2O3, etc., and react with diketone ligands and phenanthroline to prepare mononuclear rare earth ternary complexes, and then embed the time-resolved fluorescent dye and carboxylated polystyrene microspheres into the microspheres in the presence of swelling agents and surfactants.

[0004] CN116218516A discloses a time-resolved fluorescent microsphere and a preparation method and application thereof, which specifically comprises the following steps: (1) polymerizing styrene and carboxyl functional monomers by soap-free emulsion polymerization to obtain surface carboxyl polystyrene microspheres; (2) synthesizing Eu(L1)3(L2)1 rare earth mononuclear ternary complex using europium chloride, 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione and 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline as raw materials; and (3) embedding the rare earth complex into the interior of carboxyl polystyrene microspheres by swelling method to obtain time-resolved fluorescent microspheres. This method has complicated steps. It is necessary to first prepare surface carboxyl polystyrene microspheres by emulsion polymerization. The polymerization temperature is high and the toxicity is high. Polystyrene is highly hydrophobic and easy to agglomerate. The luminescence intensity of the mononuclear rare earth ternary complex is low. The time-resolved fluorescent microspheres prepared by the swelling method are prone to leakage of the internal dye of the microspheres. In addition, in immunochromatography experiments and applications, the white or light yellow color of the microspheres themselves makes it difficult for users to observe the test line and quality control line with the naked eye, and they need to use instruments to observe and read the values.

[0005] CN115466277A discloses a carboxyl-functionalized time-resolved fluorescent microsphere and a preparation method thereof, comprising the following steps: under acidic conditions, reacting europium salt, lanthanide metal salt, β-diketone ligand, synergistic ligand and bridging ligand in an organic solvent to obtain a binuclear rare earth multi-component complex Eu(Ln)(L1)4(L2)2(L3)1; then subjecting the binuclear rare earth multi-component complex, styrene monomer, acrylic monomer, initiator, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and emulsifier to a dispersed polymerization reaction in a solvent to obtain a carboxyl-functionalized time-resolved fluorescent microsphere. Although this method can embed the dye directly into the microspheres during the polymerization stage, and the luminescence intensity of the binuclear rare earth five-membered complex with large steric hindrance is stronger, the preparation process of this method is complicated. The polystyrene material is prepared by dispersion polymerization, which is highly hydrophobic and has a high polymerization reaction temperature. The emulsifier and dispersant polyvinyl pyrrolidone used in the preparation of the polymer is difficult to remove completely. The residual emulsifier and polyvinyl pyrrolidone in the microspheres will affect the coupling efficiency of the microspheres and antibodies and affect the detection sensitivity. Moreover, in immunochromatography experiments and applications, the white or light yellow color of the microspheres themselves makes it difficult for users to observe the test line and quality control line with the naked eye, and they need to use instruments to observe and read the values.

[0006] CN111218270A discloses a method for preparing a modified time-resolved fluorescent microsphere, specifically: (1) adding ultrapure water and nitrogen to a reactor, stirring while heating, adding distilled styrene, mixing and heating together, and then adding an initiator to prepare white polystyrene latex microspheres; (2) weighing a solvent dye, 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone, o-phenanthroline hydrochloride, europium chloride and an electron mediator and dissolving them in petroleum ether to form a mixture; slowly adding the above mixture dropwise to the white latex microsphere solution prepared in step (1) and stirring evenly to obtain dyed time-resolved fluorescent microspheres. The microspheres prepared by this method have bright colors and do not affect the intensity of their own fluorescence. Users can intuitively find abnormal test strips with the naked eye. However, the microspheres prepared by this method are actually formed by encapsulating the mononuclear rare earth ternary complex and the solvent dye into the microspheres by a swelling method, which has complicated steps, low luminescence intensity of the mononuclear rare earth ternary complex, and easy leakage of the dye.

[0007] CN117186872A discloses a one-step method for preparing colored time-resolved fluorescent microspheres, specifically: nitrogen is passed through a mixed solution of ethanol and water in a three-necked flask to replace air, a dispersant and europium chloride are added to the system and stirred to dissolve, an alcohol solution of rare earth ligand 1,10-phenanthroline and ethyl 2-aminobenzoate is slowly added, the pH of the solution is adjusted to 6-8 with NcOH, styrene and functional monomers dissolved with initiator and dye are added to the reaction system, and the reaction is carried out at 60-80°C for 6-16h to obtain monodispersed colored time-resolved fluorescent microspheres. The colored time-resolved fluorescent microspheres prepared by this method have simple steps and are not suitable for organic solvents such as swelling agents, but the reaction temperature is high for synthesizing polystyrene microspheres, and a large amount of dispersant polyvinyl pyrrolidone is used, which is difficult to remove cleanly, affecting the coupling efficiency of the microspheres with antibodies, and the luminescence intensity of the mononuclear rare earth ternary complex is low.

[0008] CN106243835A discloses a water-based rare earth complex composite microsphere fluorescent ink, wherein rare earth complex composite microsphere, acrylate aqueous solution, coupling agent, dispersant, defoamer, cosolvent, film-forming aid, thickener, and filler are prepared by preparing mixture A → preparing powder → mixing and grinding → filtering and stirring to prepare ink with narrow luminescence spectrum, high color purity, good light stability, and green environmental protection. The rare earth complex composite microsphere contains SiO2 colloid of mononuclear rare earth ternary complex Eu(DBM)3Phen, with a particle size of about 20nm, which is not suitable for the field of immunochromatography; moreover, the method first synthesizes the mononuclear rare earth ternary complex, which has low luminescence intensity, and is embedded in the interior of the silica microsphere in a system with a large amount of toxic solvent acetone (about 2-4 times that of ethanol), and finally obtains dry rare earth complex composite microspheres.

[0009] In summary, the current technology for preparing color time-resolved fluorescent microspheres has the following shortcomings: (1) The steps are cumbersome; (2) Most of them are prepared by the swelling method, the dye is easy to leak, and the microsphere structure is easily destroyed; (3) The polystyrene matrix is ​​highly hydrophobic and easy to agglomerate; (4) The polymerization temperature is high; (5) The toxicity is high; (6) The surfactants and dispersants are not easy to remove completely; (7) Most of them are mononuclear rare earth ternary complex fluorescent dyes with low luminescence intensity; (8) The microspheres are mostly white or light yellow, making it difficult for users to observe the test line and quality control line with the naked eye, and they need to use instruments to observe and read the values.

[0010] Based on this, there is an urgent need in the art to develop a method for preparing colored time-resolved fluorescent microspheres with simple reaction steps, green and mild conditions, no surfactants and dispersants, surface amino-modified silica matrix, internally embedded binuclear rare earth complexes with high luminescence intensity and oil-soluble dyes, for use in immunochromatography immunoassays.

[0017] Wherein, in the step (1), the first ligand is dibenzoylmethane, the second ligand is 1,10-phenanthroline, the bridging ligand is a conjugated dicarboxylic acid, and the conjugated dicarboxylic acid is 1,4-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid.

[0019] Wherein, in the step (2), tetraethyl orthosilicate is used as the first coupling agent, and the time-resolved fluorescent dye and the oil-soluble dye are embedded in the silica sphere during the polymerization process, and then 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is used as the second coupling agent to modify the surface of the microsphere with amino groups. The volume ratio of ethanol aqueous solution to tetraethyl orthosilicate is 1:0.05-0.1, and the volume ratio of ethanol aqueous solution to 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is 1:0.006-0.015. The volume ratio of ammonia water to all coupling agents is 1:0.8-1.2, and the mass ratio of all coupling agents to oil-soluble dyes is 1:0.2-1.

[0020] The silica-coated colored time-resolved fluorescent microspheres prepared by the mild preparation method of the present invention can be used for qualitative and quantitative dual immunoassay in the field of immunochromatography.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0056] Add 25 μL of glutaraldehyde, mix and resuspend for 1 h;

[0057] (3) Cleaning to remove residual glutaraldehyde
