Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a dry analytical reagent for detecting α-amylase, belonging to the field of clinical diagnosis. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, acute pancreatitis has become one of the most common acute abdominal diseases, with an incidence rate of about 2% and a mortality rate of about 10%. Therefore, accurate and timely prediction and active treatment of acute pancreatitis have become an important research topic in the field of clinical medicine. After the occurrence of acute pancreatitis, patients often have obvious symptoms. An important examination item is the blood amylase (AMY) examination. In acute pancreatitis, AMY increases significantly, and the greater the increase, the greater the possibility of acute pancreatitis.

[0003] The clinical detection methods of α-amylase are divided into wet chemistry method and dry chemistry method. Among them, the wet chemistry method is a commonly used analytical method. Once the reagent is prepared (for more than half an hour), it can analyze a large number of clinical samples at the same time. However, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing demand for emergency testing, the clinical requirement for the reporting time of biochemical analysis has become shorter, which has promoted the gradual development of emergency biochemical testing technology from traditional wet chemistry to dry chemistry. Compared with the conventional wet chemistry analysis method, the dry chemistry analysis method has the advantages of fast detection speed, easy preservation of detection reagents, no need to prepare any liquid reagents, low detection threshold requirements, strong adaptability to occasions, etc. According to the test requirements, it can perform personalized project combination testing on scattered samples at any time and place, especially suitable for scenarios such as emergency departments, primary clinics, blood stations, physical examination institutions, and testing laboratories.

[0004] Currently, the commonly used dry analytical reagent is a multi-layer film dry slice. This kind of product continues the coating technology of photographic film, coats various required functional layers such as a diffusion layer, a light blocking layer, and a reagent layer on a transparent support, with the sample addition hole on the diffusion layer and the test hole on the reverse side of the support. The concentration of the analyte is analyzed by measuring the change in the reflected light density. The test results of such multi-layer film dry slices are accurate, but the production process is complex. The production of the diffusion layer requires the use of a variety of organic solvents, generating a large amount of organic waste gas, which is harmful to the environment and increases the risk of the production process. Another type is a plastic support layer, with a reaction area at one end including a sample layer and a reagent layer. The reagent layer uses a fabric as a reagent carrier, and both sample addition and testing are carried out on its upper part.

[0005] Patent CN200710043466.X discloses a dry chemical test strip for quantitatively determining α-amylase. Among them, the diffusion layer uses commercially available filter paper, glass fiber, non-woven fabric, nylon film, synthetic fiber, etc. The blood filtering membrane uses commercially available products. The reaction layer adopts the form of liquid immersion and drying. The blood filtering layer, reagent layer and diffusion layer need to be made separately and then assembled. The dry chemical test strip made by this method is similar to a pH test strip and can only achieve semi-quantitative analysis and cannot be used for clinical diagnosis. The patent with the patent number 201910469655.6 discloses a multi-layer film dry tablet for quantitatively determining α-amylase. Among them, the diffusion layer is still prepared by an organic solvent system, which is extremely unfriendly to the environment. Summary of the Invention

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] A dry analytical reagent for detecting α-amylase, comprising, from top to bottom, an upper support layer 1, a diffusion layer 2, a reagent layer 3, a support body 4, and a lower support layer 5. The diffusion layer, reagent layer, and support body are sequentially arranged in a middle position between the upper and lower support layers, and the pores at both ends of the upper and lower support layers are bonded together by an intermediate support layer 6. A sample addition well 1-1 and a test well 5-1 are respectively arranged in the middle position of the upper and lower support layers 1 and 5, and the sample addition well and the test well positions correspond to each other. The reagent layer and diffusion layer distributed on the support body are structural layers for dropwise diffusion of a sample to be tested to produce a colorimetric reaction, the support body layer is a structural layer that serves as a support and a light-transmitting carrier, and the upper, lower, and intermediate support layers serve as inner packaging structures for fixing and protecting the support body on which the reagent layer and diffusion layer are distributed.

[0027] The diffusion layer 2 is an isotropic porous diffusion membrane with a wet film thickness of 60-600 μm and a dry film thickness of 20-200 μm after drying at 10°C-60°C. The diffusion layer comprises polymer microspheres and a binder. The binder is concentrated on the surface of the polymer microspheres and in the areas adjacent to adjacent polymer microspheres, bonding the polymer microspheres into a coherent three-dimensional lattice. The three-dimensional lattice structure exhibits a high pore volume. By controlling the particle size distribution of the polymer microspheres and the amount of binder added, an isotropic porous diffusion layer with varying porosity and pore size distribution is formed. This is used to rapidly absorb, uniformly distribute, meter, and rapidly transmit a variety of analytes, thereby analyzing substances of varying molecular weight distribution and composition in biological fluids. The polymer microspheres have a particle size between 3-30 μm and are added in an amount of 20-500 g per square meter, preferably 50-300 g per square meter. The binder is added in an amount of 0.5-5.0% per square meter of the weight of the polymer microspheres. The porosity of the diffusion layer is 30-50%. The relative molecular mass of α-amylase is approximately 54-62 kDa, and it is a type of enzyme biomacromolecule. Therefore, diffusion pathways ranging from hundreds of nanometers to micrometers are required to ensure efficient and rapid penetration and diffusion of α-amylase in the liquid to be analyzed in the diffusion layer. The polymer microspheres used in the present invention have a particle size of 3-30 μm, and the amount of adhesive added is controlled within a relatively low range to form a high porosity in the diffusion layer, thereby ensuring more diffusion pathways and thus ensuring efficient and rapid penetration and diffusion of α-amylase in the diffusion layer.

[0028] The reagent layer comprises 0.5 - 10 g of small molecule oligosaccharide substrate, buffer solution, 2.5 - 50 g of activator, 0.5 - 25 g of surfactant, 0.2 - 10 g of stabilizer, 0.2 - 50 KU of α - glucosidase, and 1 - 50 g of water - soluble high - molecular polymer. The addition amount of each component is the addition amount per square meter. The wet film thickness of the reagent layer is 50 - 500 μm, and the dry film thickness after drying at 10 - 60 °C is 5 - 50 μm. The small molecule oligosaccharide substrate is a modified maltotriose derivative or a modified maltoheptaose derivative. Existing dry - chemical test reagent strips still use macromolecular natural starch as the chromogenic substrate. However, the molecular structure of natural starch is uncertain and diverse, resulting in large variations in the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction and large measurement errors, which will affect the accuracy of detection. In the dry - chemical reagent layer of the present invention, a modified small molecule oligosaccharide is innovatively selected as the chromogenic substrate. The enzymatic hydrolysis reaction is simple, the stoichiometric relationship is clearer, and the concentration of α - amylase can be measured more accurately.

[0029] Preferably, 4,6 - ethylidene - 4 - nitrophenyl - 4 - α - D - maltoheptaose is used as the chromogenic substrate. The nitrophenyl in the substrate is an indicator marker connected to the reducing end of the polysaccharide, and the ethylidene is connected to the non - reducing end of the polysaccharide, which can protect the substrate and effectively reduce the hydrolysis of the substrate by α - glucosidase, improving the stability of the reagent.

[0030] The surfactants in the diffusion layer and the reagent layer are of the same type, both being non - ionic surfactants, specifically including one of p - octylphenoxy polyoxyethylene ether, p - nonylphenoxy polyoxyethylene ether, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, and octyl glucoside. Preferably, a non - ionic surfactant having a chain structure composed of 8 to 15 interconnected oxyethylene or oxypropylene groups can be purchased from Rohm and Haas Co. under the Triton trademark (X - 100, 102, 165, 305, and 405 are particularly useful), preferably one of Triton X - 100, 102, 165, 305, and 405, and more preferably Triton X - 100.

[0031] The preparation process of the dry - type analytical reagent for α - amylase detection in the present invention is as follows:

[0032] (1) The reagent layer: The reagent solution is coated on the support. Known coating methods can be used, preferably wire bar coating, blade coating, or extrusion coating. The wet film thickness of the reagent layer is preferably 50 - 500 μm and it is dried within the range of 10°C - 60°C. The dry film thickness of the reagent layer is preferably 5 - 50 μm. By controlling the film thickness of the reagent layer, the optimal test speed and test sensitivity can be obtained. If the film thickness of the reagent layer is too small, the concentration of the reaction substrate cannot meet the highest requirements of the test range, thus affecting the applicable range of the dry film; if the film thickness is too large, the time for the same amount of the sample to be analyzed to come into full contact with the reaction substrate is too long, resulting in an affected reaction rate, thus affecting the kinetic data and test results of the test.

[0033] (2) The diffusion layer: The slurry is coated on the reagent layer prepared in (1). Known coating methods can be used, preferably wire bar coating, blade coating, or extrusion coating. The wet film thickness of the diffusion layer is preferably 60 - 600 μm and it is dried within the range of 10°C - 60°C. The dry film thickness of the diffusion layer is preferably 20 - 200 μm. The film thickness of the diffusion layer affects the diffusion effect and filtration effect of the liquid to be analyzed.

[0034] (3) The material prepared in step (2) is cut into small pieces of 1.2 cm 2 , and a customized white PET plastic sheet is used as the upper support layer, lower support layer, and middle support layer, and is fixed and assembled into a dry analytical reagent.

[0035] The present invention is used for determining α - amylase in a body fluid sample. As the body fluid, it can be blood, urine, etc.; as the body fluid sample, blood or urine can be directly used, or a sample subjected to appropriate pretreatment can also be used.

[0036] The detection method of the dry analytical reagent for α - amylase of the present invention is as follows:

[0037] About 10 μL of the liquid to be tested is dropped onto a porous diffusion layer with uniform properties and incubated at about 37 °C for 5 minutes. While the liquid to be tested rapidly diffuses uniformly in all four directions through the diffusion layer, it also diffuses longitudinally towards the reagent layer, forming a uniform concentration distribution. Serum AMY hydrolyzes 4,6-ethylidene-4-nitrophenyl-4-α-D-maltoheptaose (E-G7-NP) to generate 4,6-ethylidene-maltopentaose (E-G5), 4,6-ethylidene-maltotetraose (E-G4), 4,6-ethylidene-maltotriose (E-G3), 4-nitrophenyl maltose (G2-NP), 4-nitrophenyl maltotriose (G3-NP), and 4-nitrophenyl maltotetraose (G4-NP) fragments. The three generated 4-nitrophenyl maltopolysaccharides are hydrolyzed by α-glucosidase into 4-nitrophenol (NP) and glucose. NP dissociates into 4-nitrophenoxide ions at the pH of the reaction solution, showing a yellow color. Reflection density detection is carried out on the color change reaction generated by the dry analytical reagent from the support side by the two-point rate method, and the concentration of α-amylase in the liquid to be tested is calculated using a pre-made calibration curve. The reaction equation of the target substance α-amylase with the corresponding substance in the dry analytical reagent is as follows:

[0038]

[0039]

[0040] The preparation process of the dry analytical reagent for detecting α-amylase of the present invention does not require organic solvents, is environmentally friendly, has good stability, is easy to store and preserve, has high detection accuracy, and a wide linear range.
