Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of immunoassay, specifically to a magnetic bead diluent, a magnetic microparticle reagent, and a point-of-care chemiluminescence assay kit. Background Technology
[0002] Magnetic particle chemiluminescence immunoassay originated in the 1970s and has since developed into a mature, highly sensitive, and highly specific immunoassay technique. Its detection sensitivity and accuracy are significantly superior to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and fluorescence chromatography, and it can completely replace radioimmunoassay. Its advantages, including high sensitivity, strong specificity, long reagent shelf life, fast detection speed, wide detection range, simple operation, and ease of automation, have made it widely recognized by clinical laboratory personnel.
[0003] Currently, most large hospitals use large-scale, fully automated chemiluminescence immunoassay (CCI) devices for clinical immunoassay. During testing, multiple tests or multiple reagent components for the same test are involved. Sharing the same sample needle with different components can lead to incomplete cleaning and cross-contamination, affecting testing efficiency. Therefore, the demand for small-scale CCI devices, also known as point-of-care testing (POCT) CCI devices, and their matching reagent kits is increasing. Small-scale magnetic particle CCI instruments are equipped with single-use reagent strips (one strip per sample). The wells of the strips contain magnetic particles, reaction reagents, and washing solution to meet the needs of point-of-care sample testing in primary hospitals or departments.
[0004] Most single-use chemiluminescence reagents pre-package the required reagent components for immunoassay into the wells of the reagent strip, such as magnetic microparticles (conjugated antigens or antibodies), labeled antibodies or antigens, sample diluent, working wash solution, luminescent substrate solution, or luminescent trigger solution. Because magnetic microparticles tend to settle over long periods, and single-use chemiluminescence reagent strips are not suitable for agitation to fully suspend the magnetic microparticles before sample addition, reagent manufacturers often use a tip to aspirate other components (such as the sample or diluted sample, labeled antibodies or antigens) and add them to the wells of the magnetic microparticles for the immunoassay reaction. Components not involved in the immunoassay reaction are then washed away using magnetic separation.
[0005] Because the magnetic particles involved in the immune reaction are small (50-100uL), the magnetic beads may stick to the tube wall or the upper aluminum foil seal during the transportation of the test strips due to activities such as handling, loading or unloading. This can result in different numbers of magnetic particles involved in the immune reaction in the sample test, causing inconsistent test results even for the same sample. This manifests as the reagent repeatability or batch-to-batch difference failing to meet the product's technical requirements, leading to misdiagnosis and delays in early diagnosis or treatment for patients. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To improve detection precision, this application provides a magnetic bead diluent, magnetic microparticle reagent, and a point-of-care chemiluminescence reagent kit.
[0007] Firstly, this application provides a magnetic bead diluent, employing the following technical solution:
[0008] A magnetic bead diluent, comprising,
[0009] Component A: Tris-HCl buffer, glycerol, preservative.
[0010] Based on the total volume of the magnetic bead diluent as 100%, the volume percentage of glycerol is 10-40%, and the volume percentage of the preservative is 0.08-0.2%.
[0011] Component B: Sodium chloride, gelatin, non-reducing disaccharides.
[0012] The concentration of sodium chloride in the magnetic bead diluent is 8-100 g / L, the concentration of gelatin in the magnetic bead diluent is 3-20 g / L, and the concentration of non-reducing disaccharide in the magnetic bead diluent is 3-10 g / L.
[0013] Preferably, a magnetic bead diluent includes,
[0014] Component A: Tris-HCl buffer, glycerol, preservative.
[0015] Based on the total volume of the magnetic bead diluent as 100%, the volume percentage of glycerol is 10-30%, and the volume percentage of the preservative is 0.1-0.2%.
[0016] Component B: Sodium chloride, gelatin, non-reducing disaccharides.
[0017] The concentration of sodium chloride in the magnetic bead diluent is 9-100 g / L, the concentration of gelatin in the magnetic bead diluent is 5-20 g / L, and the concentration of the non-reducing disaccharide in the magnetic bead diluent is 5-10 g / L.
[0018] To replenish the volume to 100% using Tris-HCl buffer.
[0019] The addition of sodium chloride, glycerol, gelatin, and a non-reducing disaccharide establishes a magnetic bead diluent with high viscosity under storage conditions (2-8℃) and low viscosity at incubation temperature (37℃). Magnetic microparticle reagents prepared using this diluent have the advantage of high viscosity under storage or transportation conditions (2-8℃) and low viscosity at incubation temperature (37℃, the reaction temperature during sample detection). This reduces the risk of magnetic beads adhering to the upper tube wall or upper aluminum foil seal during transport due to handling, loading, or unloading, which could lead to reduced accuracy in sample detection due to varying numbers of magnetic microparticles participating in the immune reaction. Furthermore, this provides clinical clients with highly sensitive, specific, and precise point-of-care chemiluminescence reagents, avoiding misdiagnosis caused by low accuracy and preventing delays in early diagnosis or treatment.
[0020] Furthermore, by adjusting the amounts of sodium chloride, glycerol, gelatin, and non-reducing disaccharides, a magnetic bead diluent with a viscosity of not less than 4.6 Pa·S under storage conditions (2-8℃) and a viscosity of not more than 1.9 Pa·S under incubation temperature (37℃) was obtained.
[0021] Preferably, the concentration of sodium chloride in the magnetic bead diluent is 8-100 g / L;
[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the sodium chloride content in each 100 ml of magnetic bead diluent can be 0.8 g, 0.9 g, 1.0 g, 1.2 g, 2 g, 5 g, 8 g, or 10 g;
[0023] More preferably, the sodium chloride content is 0.9g per 100ml of magnetic bead diluent.
[0024] As the sodium chloride content increases, the viscosity of the magnetic bead diluent gradually increases, but excessively high ion concentrations may affect protein solubility and the immune response between antigens and antibodies.
[0025] Preferably, the glycerol accounts for 10-40% of the total volume of the magnetic bead diluent;
[0026] In some embodiments of this application, the glycerol content in each 100 ml of magnetic bead diluent is 10 ml, 20 ml, 30 ml, or 40 ml;
[0027] Preferably, the concentration of the gelatin in the magnetic bead diluent is 3-20 g / L;
[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the gelatin content in each 100 ml of magnetic bead diluent may be 0.3 g, 0.5 g, 1.0 g, or 2.0 g;
[0029] More preferably, the concentration of the gelatin in the magnetic bead diluent is 5 g / L.
[0030] The addition of gelatin and glycerin can increase the viscosity of the magnetic bead diluent, thus keeping the diluent at a high viscosity at low temperatures. This reduces the adhesion of magnetic beads to the upper tube wall or upper aluminum foil seal of the reagent strip during handling, allowing for more accurate acquisition of the required amount of magnetic beads during sampling, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection.
[0031] Preferably, the concentration of trehalose in the magnetic bead diluent is 3-10 g / L;
[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the trehalose content in each 100 ml of magnetic bead diluent may be 0.3 g, 0.5 g, 0.7 g, or 1.0 g.
[0033] More preferably, the concentration of trehalose in the magnetic bead diluent is 5 g / L.
[0034] Preferably, the concentration of the Tris-HCl buffer is 150-250 mM;
[0035] More preferably, the concentration of the Tris-HCl buffer is 200 mM.
[0036] Preferably, the pH of the Tris-HCl buffer solution is 7.5-8.5.
[0037] More preferably, the pH of the Tris-HCl buffer solution is 8.
[0038] In one embodiment of this application, the Tris-HCl buffer solution has a concentration of 200 mM and a pH of 8.
[0039] The preservative is Proclin 300.
[0040] The addition of preservatives extends the shelf life of the magnetic bead diluent and improves the stability of antigens or antibodies stored in the magnetic bead diluent.
[0041] A method for preparing a magnetic bead diluent includes the following steps:
[0042] Add Tris-HCl buffer, glycerol, and preservative to S1 according to the formula, and stir well.
[0043] S2 then adds sodium chloride, gelatin, and trehalose to the liquid obtained in S1, and stirs until homogeneous to obtain the magnetic bead dilution solution.
[0044] Secondly, this application provides a magnetic microparticle reagent, which adopts the following technical solution:
[0045] A magnetic microparticle reagent prepared using the above-described magnetic bead diluent, the magnetic microparticle reagent further comprising an antibody or antigen coupled with magnetic beads.
[0046] A magnetic microparticle reagent is prepared by dissolving antibodies or antigens coupled to magnetic beads in a magnetic bead diluent. The concentration of the antibodies or antigens coupled to the magnetic beads in the magnetic microparticle reagent is 0.1-10 μg / mL.
[0047] In several embodiments of this application, the concentration of the antibody or antigen coupled to the magnetic beads in the magnetic microparticle reagent can be 0.1 ug / mL, 0.2 ug / mL, 0.5 ug / mL, 1 ug / mL, 2 ug / mL, 5 ug / mL or 10 ug / mL.
[0048] After being diluted with magnetic bead diluent, the antibodies or antigens coupled with magnetic beads can be stored in the test strips. Furthermore, because the viscosity of the magnetic bead diluent is adjusted using sodium chloride, glycerin, gelatin, and trehalose, the adhesion of magnetic beads to the upper tube wall or upper aluminum foil seal of the test strip is reduced during handling, loading, and unloading. This improves the uniformity of the number of magnetic beads during sample testing and reduces the impact of random differences in the number of magnetic beads on the accuracy of the test strip results.
[0049] Preferably, the magnetic microparticle reagent has a magnetic bead concentration of 100-200 μg / mL and a MYO antibody concentration coupled to the magnetic beads of 0.2-10 μg / mL.
[0050] Thirdly, the technical solution adopted in this application for providing a point-of-care chemiluminescence assay kit is as follows:

[0061] The NaCl content in each 100 ml sample dilution is 0.9 g.
[0062] Preferably, the working wash solution, with a total volume of 100%, comprises 0.5% TW-20, 0.1% Proclin 300, and sodium chloride, and is supplemented with 200mM Tris-HCl buffer at pH 8.0 to make up the balance. The sodium chloride content in each 100 ml of working wash solution is 0.9 g.
[0063] Preferably, the labeled antibody or antigen reagent is an ALP-labeled antibody or antigen diluted proportionally using a label diluent.
[0064] More preferably, the label diluent includes Tris-HCl buffer, NaCl, preservative, stabilizer, NP40, glycerol, and newborn calf serum;
[0065] Based on the total volume of the marker diluent as 100%, the amount of preservative is 0.08-0.12v, stabilizer is 8-12v, NP40 is 0.5-1.5v, glycerol is 8-12v%, and newborn calf serum is 8-12v%.
[0066] The concentration of NaCl in the marker dilution solution is 0.8-1.2 g / L.
[0067] The concentration of ALP-labeled antibody or antigen in the labeled antibody or antigen reagent is 0.1-10 μg / mL.
[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the concentration of the ALP-labeled antibody or antigen may be 0.1 μg / mL, 0.2 μg / mL, 0.5 μg / mL, 1 μg / mL, 2 μg / mL, 5 μg / mL, or 10 μg / mL.
[0069] A point-of-care chemiluminescence assay kit includes a reagent strip with at least one sample well, at least one diluent well, at least one working wash well, at least one enzyme-labeled reagent well, at least one magnetic microparticle well, and at least one luminescent substrate solution well.

After washing, add the labeled antigen-antibody complex to the reagent well, catalyze the luminescent substrate to emit light or trigger the substrate to emit light, detect the light signal RLU value, and calculate the content of the target substance in the sample to be tested according to the built-in calibration curve of the chemiluminescence detection device.
[0073] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0074] The addition of sodium chloride, glycerol, gelatin, and trehalose established a magnetic bead diluent with high viscosity under storage conditions (2-8℃) and low viscosity at incubation temperature (37℃). Magnetic microparticle reagents prepared using this diluent have the advantages of high viscosity under storage conditions (2-8℃) and low viscosity at incubation temperature (37℃). This reduces the problem of magnetic beads sticking to the upper tube wall or upper aluminum foil seal during transport due to handling, loading, or unloading, which could lead to reduced accuracy of test results due to variations in the number of magnetic microparticles participating in the immune reaction.

[0140] In some embodiments of this application, the above-mentioned instantaneous chemiluminescence assay kit is a myoglobin (MYO) chemiluminescence immunoassay kit.
[0141] Preparation of a Chemiluminescence Kit for Real-Time Detection of Myoglobin (MYO)
[0142] A MYO reagent kit includes a reagent strip with at least one sample well 1, at least one diluent well 2, at least one working wash well 3, at least one enzyme-labeled reagent well 4, at least one magnetic microparticle well 5, and at least one luminescent substrate solution well 6. The reagent strip also includes a light-shielded detection cup 7 for detecting chemiluminescent signals.
[0143] The sample wells are used to load MYO in human serum or plasma. The diluent reagent well 2 is loaded with sample diluent. The working wash reagent well 3 is loaded with working wash. The enzyme-labeled reagent well 4 is loaded with labeled antibody or antigen reagent. The magnetic microparticle reagent well 5 is loaded with magnetic microparticle reagent coupled with MYO antibody. The luminescent substrate reagent well 6 is loaded with chemiluminescent substrate solution.
[0144] The working wash solution is a 200 mM pH 8.0 Tris-HCl buffer containing a final concentration of 0.9% (w / v) NaCl, 0.5% (v / v) TW-20, and 0.1% (v / v) Proclin 300 (all w / v refers to g / mL).
[0145] The sample diluent includes Tris-HCl buffer, NaCl, Proclin 300, NP40, TW-20, glycerol, and newborn calf serum; wherein, based on a total sample diluent volume of 100%, Proclin 300 0.1v%, NP40 1v%, TW-20 0.1v%, glycerol 10v%, and newborn calf serum 10v%; the remainder is replenished with Tris-HCl buffer.
[0146] The concentration of Tris-HCl buffer is 200 mM, and the pH is 8.0;
[0147] The NaCl content in each 100 ml sample dilution is 0.9 g.
[0148] The enzyme-labeled antibody reagent was ALP-labeled mouse anti-human MYO antibody diluted with enzyme-labeled diluent at a volume ratio of 1:2000; the enzyme-labeled diluent was 200mM Tris-HCl buffer at pH 8.0, containing a final concentration of 0.9% (w / v) NaCl, 3% (w / v) BSA, 10% (v / v) stabilizer, and 0.1% (v / v) Proclin 300 (all w / v refers to g / mL).

[0151] The main principle of the chemiluminescence kit for point detection of myoglobin (MYO) is as follows: the antibody or antigen coupled with the magnetic beads binds to MYO in human serum or plasma, and then forms a double antibody sandwich with ALP-labeled antibody or antigen. In the presence of the substrate, alkaline phosphatase catalyzes the substrate to emit light, and quantitative detection is performed by the chemiluminescence detection system.
[0152] During testing, the calibrator is first added to the sample well, and the reagent strip is placed in the detection instrument to measure the chemiluminescence intensity value. A calibration curve is created with the different concentrations of MYO antigen in the calibrator as the x-axis and the chemiluminescence intensity value as the y-axis. Then, the sample is added to the sample well, and the reagent strip is placed in the detection instrument to measure the chemiluminescence intensity value. The concentration of MYO in the sample is calculated based on the linear relationship.
[0153] Performance testing
[0154] 1. The viscosity (Pa·S) of the magnetic bead diluents obtained in Preparation Examples 1-13 was measured using a rotational viscometer at storage temperature (4±1℃) and incubation temperature (37±1℃) for comparison with that obtained in Preparation Examples 1-6.
[0155] 2. Pre-transport testing: The concentration of MYO in serum samples was measured using the point-of-care chemiluminescence assay kits prepared in Examples 1-13 and Comparative Examples 1-6. Each example or comparative example was measured 10 times, and the repeatability (coefficient of variation, CV) of the measurement results was compared.
[0156] Post-transport testing: The same batch of point-of-care chemiluminescence assay kits prepared by Examples 1-13 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were airlifted from Beijing to Haikou and then back to Beijing. The concentration of MYO in serum samples was measured using this batch of point-of-care chemiluminescence assay kits. Each example or comparative example was measured 10 times, and the repeatability (coefficient of variation CV) of the measurement results was compared.
[0157] The experimental results are shown in the table below.
[0158] Table 4 shows the viscosity (Pa·S) of the magnetic bead diluents obtained in Preparation Examples 1.1-1.10 and Comparative Preparation Examples 1.1-1.5 at storage temperature (4±1℃) and incubation temperature (37±1℃).
[0159]
[0160] As shown in Table 4, gelatin, glycerin, trehalose, and sodium chloride all affect the viscosity of the magnetic bead diluent. The addition of these components increases the viscosity, but it decreases with increasing temperature. By selecting gelatin, glycerin, trehalose, and sodium chloride and adjusting their amounts, the viscosity of the magnetic bead diluent can be controlled to be no less than 4.6 Pa·s at the storage temperature (4±1℃) and no more than 1.9 Pa·s at the incubation temperature (37±1℃). Adjusting the viscosity of the magnetic bead diluent using these four components prevents it from flowing easily at storage temperatures, thus reducing the likelihood of magnetic beads adhering to the upper tube wall or aluminum foil seal of the reagent strip during handling and transportation.
[0161] The addition of gelatin and trehalose not only increases the viscosity of the magnetic bead diluent but also protects the protein and adjusts the liquid density, thereby allowing the magnetic beads to be more evenly dispersed in the magnetic microparticle reagent.
[0162] In the magnetic bead diluent prepared in Example 3 of this application, the viscosity at the storage temperature reached 5.4 Pa·s, while the viscosity at the incubation temperature reached 1.3 Pa·s.
[0163] Table 5 compares the precision of the instant detection chemiluminescence kits using magnetic microparticle reagents from Examples 1-13 and Comparative Examples 1-6 before and after transportation.
[0164]
[0165] Note: M represents the average concentration of MYO after 10 replicate experiments;
[0166] S represents the standard deviation of 10 repeated experiments;
[0167] CV stands for coefficient of variation, and CV = S / M.
[0168] As shown in Table 5, for Sample 2, before transportation, the repeatability (CV) of the examples was in the range of 2.78%-3.89%, and the repeatability (CV) of the comparative examples was in the range of 3.92%-4.32%. After being transported from Beijing to Haikou and then tested upon return, the repeatability (CV) of the kit 1 of this invention for detecting three different concentration levels of quality control samples was in the range of 3.12%-3.93%, while the repeatability (CV) of the comparative reagent was in the range of 8.80%-9.42%.
[0169] This demonstrates that the magnetic microparticle reagents obtained in Examples 1-13 of this application can significantly improve the accuracy of detection results after the reagent kit is transported.
[0170] The magnetic microparticle reagents prepared in Examples 1-13 of this application are less affected by transportation and handling, and can maintain extremely high accuracy during detection.
[0171] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary implementations used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
