Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to a method for removing vitamin D from horse serum. Background Technology

[0002] 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (abbreviated as 25(OH)D) is the main form of vitamin D in horse serum. In the production and research of certain in vitro diagnostic projects, in order to ensure the accuracy of experiments and the stability of production, and to reduce interference factors, it is necessary to remove 25(OH)D from horse serum to obtain horse serum that contains no 25(OH)D or contains very low levels of 25(OH)D. This is suitable for clinical test kits, pretreatment of horse serum matrix materials for reference materials, and biological sample analysis, and can significantly improve the detection accuracy of diagnostic reagents.

[0003] Currently, the removal of 25(OH)D from serum, the raw material for in vitro diagnostic reagents, mainly relies on the following methods: solid-phase extraction (SPE) using C... 18 Hydrophobic materials can adsorb lipid-soluble substances, but their selectivity is poor; organic solvent precipitation methods use solvents such as acetonitrile and methanol for extraction, and organic solvents or harsh conditions can easily denature serum proteins, affecting reagent performance; immunoaffinity chromatography uses 25(OH)D antibody immobilization packing material, but high-purity antibody packing material is expensive and the operation is complicated, making it difficult to apply on a large scale. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings mentioned in the background section, the present invention aims to provide a method for removing vitamin D from horse serum, thereby overcoming the defects of existing methods for removing 25(OH)D from horse serum, such as poor selectivity, low specificity, high cost, and complex operation.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for removing vitamin D from horse serum includes the following steps: (1) material screening; (2) physical adsorption of 25(OH)D from horse serum using the selected material; (3) centrifugation of the physically adsorbed horse serum; and (4) filtration of the centrifuged horse serum using a filter membrane.

[0007] The selected material is dextran-treated modified activated carbon, which is obtained by repeatedly immersing modified activated carbon in a saturated dextran solution.

[0008] The mass ratio of the dextran to the modified activated carbon is 2~10:1;

[0009] The modified activated carbon is prepared by pretreating activated carbon with nitric acid, then bonding the pretreated activated carbon with diphenyldimethoxysilane to obtain hydrophobic activated carbon, and then treating the hydrophobic activated carbon with phytic acid and calcining it at high temperature.

[0010] Preferably, the method for preparing the modified activated carbon includes the following steps:

[0011] (1) Take activated carbon and wash it 3 to 5 times with nitric acid and deionized water with a concentration of 0.5 to 1 mol / L, and then dry it at 110 to 125℃ for 3 to 5 hours to prepare pretreated activated carbon;

[0012] (2) Take the pretreated activated carbon and add anhydrous ethanol to disperse it. Then add diphenyldimethoxysilane, deionized water and glacial acetic acid. After ultrasonic mixing, reflux at 65~70℃ for 4~4.5h. After the reaction is completed, filter, wash and dry to prepare hydrophobic activated carbon.

[0013] (3) Take hydrophobic activated carbon, add anhydrous ethanol to disperse it, add 50% phytic acid aqueous solution to impregnate it, sonicate it for 0.5-1h, then impregnate it at room temperature for 20-24h, and then calcine it at 430-460℃ for 1-1.5h. After calcination, the product is washed with deionized water and ethanol until neutral to prepare modified activated carbon.

[0014] Preferably, the addition ratio of the pretreated activated carbon to diphenyldimethoxysilane is 1g:0.5~1mL; the addition ratio of the hydrophobic activated carbon to phytic acid aqueous solution is 1g:3.5~7mL.

[0015] Preferably, the molecular weight of the dextran is 10~30kDa.

[0016] Preferably, the activated carbon has a particle size of 0.5~0.8 mm.

[0017] Preferably, the TP value of the horse serum is 6.5~7.5 g / dL.

[0018] Preferably, the amount of dextran-treated modified activated carbon added is 40~100g / L.

[0019] Preferably, the physical adsorption conditions are room temperature and a treatment time of 10-20 hours.

[0020] Preferably, the centrifugation conditions are 3000~6000 r / min and centrifugation at 4℃ for 20~50 min.

[0021] Preferably, the filter membrane is a PES filter element micromembrane with an asymmetric structure.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0023] This invention utilizes nitric acid pretreatment of activated carbon to increase the number of oxygen-containing functional groups on the activated carbon surface. Then, the pretreated activated carbon is bonded to diphenyldimethoxysilane, thereby generating hydrophobic functional groups on the activated carbon surface, thus preparing hydrophobic activated carbon to enhance the specific adsorption of 25(OH)D. Phytic acid is then used to treat the hydrophobic activated carbon, with phosphate groups in the phytic acid attaching to the surface of the hydrophobic activated carbon. Furthermore, the dehydration condensation of phytic acid at high temperatures and the catalytic effect of hydrogen protons at high temperatures result in a structure rich in pores in the hydrophobic activated carbon, providing numerous adsorption sites for 25(OH)D. Additionally, dextran treatment is used to modify the activated carbon, forming a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic shell structure, enhancing the specific adsorption of 25(OH)D and retaining key components such as total protein in horse serum.

[0024] The reagents used in this invention are readily available, low in cost, and easy to operate; this invention does not require complex equipment and is suitable for in vitro diagnostic reagent production processes; this invention can effectively remove 25(OH)D from horse serum, and the key components such as total protein in the obtained horse serum are minimally affected, with a low loss rate and high retention, making it suitable for specific in vitro diagnostic research and production projects without 25(OH)D interference.
