Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medical detection, and particularly to a reaction device for POCT homogeneous luminescence immunoassay. BACKGROUND
[0002] POCT is the abbreviation of Point-Of-Care Test, which is a new kind of in vitro diagnostic technology in recent years. The definition of POCT given by the National Academy of Clinical Biochemistry (NACB) is: clinical laboratory tests performed close to the patient by clinical personnel who have not received training in clinical laboratory science or by the patient (self-testing, monitoring). Homogeneous light-induced chemiluminescence technology is the fourth generation of chemiluminescence technology, which is based on nanoscale polymer microparticles and is a homogeneous, no-washing chemiluminescence analysis technology induced by light. It is a new generation of technology with high sensitivity and simple operation, and is another new milestone of chemiluminescence immunoassay technology. The principle of LOCI (Luminescent oxygen channeling immunoassay) homogeneous luminescence diagnostic technology is that intermolecular interaction will bring the donor and acceptor microspheres within the diffusion range of singlet oxygen, i.e. within 200 nm, thereby exciting the cascade amplification of the chemiluminescence reaction. The light-emitting principle is light-induced chemiluminescence. The surface of the donor microspheres is coated with a photosensitizer, benzidine blue, and the surface of the acceptor microspheres is coated with a luminescent agent, dimethylthiophene derivative, and chelated with rare earth atom europium. Thus, when irradiated with 680 nm laser, the photosensitizer on the surface of the donor microspheres decomposes the oxygen in the environment to form singlet oxygen molecules (oxygen free radicals). The singlet oxygen molecules diffuse to the acceptor microspheres, and finally transfer the energy to the rare earth atom europium, exciting the excitation light with a wavelength of 615 nm and a half-life of 0.3 s, which can be detected by a chemiluminescence analyzer.

[0052] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the relevant drawings. The preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.
[0053] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed" to another element, it can be directly on the other element or there can be an intervening element. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there can be an intervening element. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.
[0054] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0055] Reference should be made to Figure 1The reaction device 100 for POCT homogeneous luminescence immunoassay of an embodiment of the present application, the principle of POCT homogeneous luminescence immunoassay can be summarized as follows: under homogeneous conditions, the sample to be measured is mixed with reagents such as luminescent microspheres (nanoscale) containing luminescent materials and photosensitive microspheres (nanoscale) containing photosensitive materials. Since the luminescent microspheres and the photosensitive microspheres have biologically active molecules (antibodies or antigens, etc.) connected to their surfaces, the target molecules in the sample to be measured can be directly or indirectly captured, thereby forming an immune sandwich complex of the luminescent microspheres, the target molecules and the photosensitive microspheres. After excitation light irradiation, the photosensitive microspheres are induced to activate and release high-energy state active oxygen molecules. The high-energy state active oxygen molecules are captured by the luminescent microspheres at close range, thereby transferring energy to activate the luminescent compounds in the luminescent microspheres. After several microseconds, the luminescent compounds in the luminescent microspheres will release high-energy level red light. The high-energy level photons are measured by a single photon counter, and the number of photons is converted into the concentration of target molecules by a computer. When the sample does not contain target molecules, the immune sandwich complex cannot be formed. Although active oxygen ions are released from the photosensitive microspheres under excitation light irradiation, they cannot reach the luminescent microspheres, i.e. they are rapidly quenched in the liquid phase, and no high-energy level red light is generated during detection.
[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 to 16 For example, the reaction device 100 for POCT homogeneous luminescence immunoassay includes a pre-storage cup 10, a reaction cup 20 and a puncture cover 30. The pre-storage cup 10 is provided with a diluent chamber 11 and a puncture hole thin wall 12 in communication. The diluent chamber 11 is used to hold the mixed solution of the sample liquid and the diluent. The sample liquid can be any one of serum, plasma, whole blood, urine or saliva.
[0057] The reaction cup 20 is provided with a reaction chamber 21, and the dry reagent is packaged in the reaction chamber 21. The dry reagent can be photosensitive microsphere freeze-dried beads and luminescent microsphere freeze-dried beads.
[0058] The puncture cover 30 is provided with a first puncture piece 31, and the first puncture piece 31 is arranged in position with the puncture hole thin wall 12. When in use, the pre-storage cup 10 is clamped on the reaction cup 20 along the assembly direction, the puncture cover 30 is clamped on the pre-storage cup 10 along the assembly direction, the first puncture piece 31 punctures the puncture hole thin wall 12, and the mixed solution of the sample liquid and the diluent in the diluent chamber 11 flows into the reaction chamber 21 through the punctured puncture hole thin wall 12 to react with the dry reagent.
[0059] It can be understood that the above assembly direction specifically refers to the arrow direction in the drawing.
[0060] The embodiment of the present application is implemented, and the following beneficial effects will be obtained:
[0061] When the reaction device 100 for POCT homogeneous luminescence immunoassay of the scheme is used, first, the sample liquid to be detected is added to the diluent chamber 11 preloaded with the diluent, so that the mixed liquid of the pre-mixed sample liquid and the diluent in the diluent chamber 11 is filled; then the pre-storage cup 10 is assembled and buckled with the reaction cup 20, and finally the puncture cover 30 is assembled and buckled to the outside of the pre-storage cup 10. In the buckling process, the first puncture piece 31 can directly puncture and pierce the thin-walled hole 12, so that the mixed liquid of the sample liquid and the diluent in the diluent chamber 11 can flow into the reaction chamber 21 of the reaction cup 20 from the punctured thin-walled hole 12, so that the mixed liquid of the sample liquid and the diluent can react with the dry reagent. Finally, the entire reaction device is transferred to the detection equipment, and the reaction signal can be read by the sensor.
[0062] Compared with the prior art, the reaction device 100 for POCT homogeneous luminescence immunoassay of the scheme is only composed of three components of the pre-storage cup 10, the reaction cup 20 and the puncture cover 30, which has a simple structure, a small overall volume, and can effectively reduce the manufacturing and use costs. When used, only the three components need to be buckled in sequence along the assembly direction, so that the mixed liquid can be in contact with the dry reagent for detection reaction, which is convenient and labor-saving, has low operation difficulty, and has low skill requirement for the user. Not only professional medical staff can quickly and effectively complete the detection work, but also ordinary patients, ordinary caregivers and the like can efficiently and conveniently perform the detection operation by themselves, so that the usability is stronger, and the application scope and object are wider.
[0063] In the present application, the puncture cover 30, the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20 all adopt a rectangular cuboid shape structure, which has regular multiple sides, so that the user can effectively grasp and assemble them.
[0064] It can be understood that the assembly direction is specifically along the height direction of the puncture cover 30, the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20, and the three components are sequentially stacked or nested and assembled. For example, in the present embodiment, the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20 are only stacked and assembled in the assembly direction, and the puncture cover 30 is completely nested to the outside of the pre-storage cup 10 and part of the reaction cup 20 to form an inner-outer double-layer structure.
[0065] In order to reduce the manufacturing and use costs, the puncture cover 30, the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20 preferably adopt a medical-grade plastic material. Of course, in other embodiments, the puncture cover 30, the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20 can also adopt metal, composite material and the like.
[0066] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7In one embodiment, the reaction cup 20 is further provided with a liquid containing groove 22, which is formed on the top surface of the reaction cup 20 facing the pre-storage cup 10. The bottom of the liquid containing groove 22 is provided with a receiving hole 221 at one of the top corners of the reaction cup 20, which is arranged in alignment with the thin-walled puncture hole 12. When the puncture cover 30 is assembled with the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20, the first puncture member 31 can extend into the receiving hole 221 after puncturing the thin-walled puncture hole 12, so that the receiving hole 221 can accommodate the first puncture member 31 and avoid interference between the reaction cup 20 and the first puncture member 31.
[0067] The bottom of the liquid containing groove 22 is further provided with a liquid flow channel 222, which communicates the liquid containing groove 22 with the reaction chamber 21. After the thin-walled puncture hole 12 is punctured, the mixed liquid of the sample liquid and the diluent will first flow into the liquid containing groove 22 through the punctured thin-walled puncture hole 12, and then slowly flow to the liquid flow channel 222, and finally flow into the reaction chamber 21 below from the liquid flow channel 222, so that the mixed liquid of the sample liquid and the diluent can gradually and slowly flow into the reaction chamber 21 to ensure more sufficient and complete contact reaction with the dry reagent.
[0068] Further, the reaction device 100 for POCT homogeneous phase luminescence immunoassay further comprises a red blood cell filter pad 23, which is arranged in the liquid containing groove 22 and covers the liquid inlet of the liquid flow channel 222.
[0069] Whether it is chemiluminescence immunoassay or photoluminescence immunoassay, the final detection is the light signal generated by the reaction. At the same time, the biggest scene of immunoassay application is to detect various substances to be tested in blood. Because there are a large number of red blood cells in the blood, the red blood cells and the hemoglobin in the cells have strong light absorption characteristics, which greatly interfere with the light signal generated by the reaction. If there are red blood cells in the detection reaction system, it will greatly affect the accuracy of the detection result. Compared with the related art which needs to additionally equip a red blood cell separation device or device (such as a centrifuge) and perform additional red blood cell separation operation, causing longer detection time and higher cost, the present scheme pre-installs a red blood cell filter pad 23 in the liquid containing groove 22, so that the mixed liquid of the sample liquid and the diluent flowing into the liquid containing groove 22 will first flow through the red blood cell filter pad 23, so that the red blood cells can be automatically separated out, avoiding the red blood cells flowing into the reaction chamber 21 to interfere with the accuracy of the detection result, and at the same time, without the need for additional equipment of a red blood cell separation device or device, the reaction device has the advantages of lower cost, simpler structure and shorter detection time.
[0070] In particular, the red blood cell filter pad 23 can be arranged in two or more layers at the same time, and the mixed liquid can be filtered at least twice in sequence through each layer of the red blood cell filter pad 23, so as to more completely filter out the red blood cells.
[0071] In another embodiment, the pre-storage cup 10 is further provided with a sealing protrusion 13, which is matched with the shape and size of the liquid containing groove 22, and sealingly abuts against the groove edge of the liquid containing groove 22. By sealingly abutting the sealing protrusion 13 against the groove edge of the liquid containing groove 22, the liquid containing groove 22 can be encapsulated after the pre-storage cup 10 is assembled with the reaction cup 20, so as to prevent the mixed liquid of the sample liquid and the dilution liquid from leaking.
[0072] Further, a sealing ring (such as a rubber ring) can be installed between the sealing protrusion 13 and the groove edge of the liquid containing groove 22 to enhance the sealing performance.
[0073] In addition, in yet another embodiment, the pre-storage cup 10 is further provided with a gas permeable hole 14, the reaction cup 20 is further provided with a gas chamber 24 which is arranged in position with the gas permeable hole 14, and a gas chamber channel 25 which is in communication with the gas chamber 24; the dilution liquid chamber 11 and the gas permeable hole 14 are simultaneously sealed with a first sealing film, and the liquid containing groove 22 and the gas chamber 24 are simultaneously sealed with a second sealing film. That is, the reaction device (for short, the reaction device 100 for POCT homogeneous phase luminescence immunoassay, the same below) of the present scheme can temporarily encapsulate the sample liquid and the dilution liquid in the dilution liquid chamber 11 when not in use, so as to avoid spilling and being affected by the temperature and humidity of the external environment; at the same time, the dry reagent can be encapsulated in the reaction chamber 21 to prevent the dry reagent from being affected by the external air and being damp.
[0074] Optionally, the first sealing film and the second sealing film can be made of aluminum film or plastic film. The encapsulation can be processed by heat sealing process.
[0075] Please refer to Figures 4 to 13 Further, the puncture cover 30 is further provided with a second puncture piece 32, which is arranged in position with the gas permeable hole 14, and the second puncture piece 32 can puncture the first sealing film and the second sealing film after the puncture cover 30, the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20 are assembled with each other.
[0076] That is, when the puncture cover 30, the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20 are assembled with each other, the first puncture piece 31 punctures the puncture hole thin wall 12, and the second puncture piece 32 also synchronously punctures the corresponding parts of the first sealing film and the second sealing film encapsulated on the gas permeable hole 14 and the gas chamber 24 when the mixed liquid of the sample liquid and the dilution liquid flows to the reaction chamber 21, so as to connect the gas permeable hole 14, the gas chamber 24 and the gas chamber channel 25, so as to balance the air pressure between the inside and the outside of the reaction device, and ensure that the mixed liquid can smoothly flow to the reaction chamber 21.
[0077] Optionally, in the present scheme, the first piercing member 31 and the second piercing member 32 are both rod members protruding on the inside of the puncture cover 30, and the end of the rod member is formed into a sharp conical structure. When the user fastens and presses the puncture cover 30, the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20, the sharp conical structure can quickly and reliably pierce the thin-walled puncture hole 12, the first sealing film and the second sealing film, so that the operation of the reaction device is low in difficulty, convenient and labor-saving, and patients and patient families without medical equipment operation skills and experience can also easily use it.
[0078] In one of the embodiments, the side of the reaction cup 20 is also provided with a light-transmitting window 26, which communicates with the reaction chamber 21, and a light-transmitting film 27 is sealed and arranged on the light-transmitting window 26.
[0079] After the dry reagent is loaded into the reaction chamber 21, the light-transmitting film 27 is heat-sealed and arranged at the light-transmitting window 26, so that the dry reagent is completely sealed outside the closed reaction chamber 21. Since the light-transmitting film 27 is not blocked by the puncture cover 30, it also has good permeability to light of wavelengths of about 680 nm and about 615 nm, and can transmit excitation light and emission light during homogeneous luminescence immunoassay, so that the detection process can be carried out smoothly.
[0080] For example, the light-transmitting film 27 can be a transparent plastic film.
[0081] Please refer to Figures 12 to 13 In addition, in another embodiment, the puncture cover 30 is also provided with a plunger column 33, which is arranged in position with the diluent chamber 11. After the puncture cover 30 is assembled and fastened with the pre-storage cup 10, the plunger column 33 can extrude the mixture of the sample liquid and the diluent liquid towards the thin-walled puncture hole 12. Specifically, the plunger column 33 has an outer shape that is adapted to the shape of the diluent chamber 11. When the puncture cover 30 is assembled and fastened to the outside of the pre-storage cup 10, the plunger column 33 can perfectly fit the diluent chamber 11, thereby forming a piston effect in the diluent chamber 11. As the puncture cover 30 continuously fastens the pre-storage cup 10, the pressure of the plunger column 33 on the diluent chamber 11 gradually increases. Since the aperture formed after the first piercing member 31 pierces the thin-walled puncture hole 12 is usually small, the mixture of the sample liquid and the diluent liquid under increased pressure first flows towards the punctured thin-walled puncture hole 12, thereby more easily flowing through the aperture of the thin-walled puncture hole 12 into the liquid holding groove 22. Under the condition of continuously increasing pressure, the mixture in the liquid holding groove 22 can continuously flow through the red blood cell filter pad 23 and finally flow into the reaction chamber 21.
[0082] In order to avoid the piercing cap 30, the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20 being assembled in the wrong direction and failing to be properly and smoothly buckled, in an embodiment, the inner wall of the piercing cap 30 is further provided with a foolproof protrusion 34, the outer wall of the pre-storage cup 10 is further provided with a first foolproof slot 15, the outer wall of the reaction cup 20 is further provided with a second foolproof slot 28, the second foolproof slot 28 is in alignment and communication with the first foolproof slot 15 in the assembly direction, and the foolproof protrusion 34 is slidingly assembled in the first foolproof slot 15 and the second foolproof slot 28; or, the outer wall of the piercing cap 30 is provided with a first foolproof bevel 35, the outer wall of the pre-storage cup 10 is provided with a second foolproof bevel 16 in alignment with the first foolproof bevel 35, and the outer wall of the reaction cup 20 is provided with a third foolproof bevel 29 in alignment with the second foolproof bevel 16.
[0083] That is, simply speaking, only when the foolproof protrusion 34 is in alignment with the first foolproof slot 15 and the second foolproof slot 28 at the same time or the first foolproof bevel 35, the second foolproof bevel 16 and the third foolproof bevel 29 are in alignment on the same straight line, the piercing cap 30, the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20 can be properly assembled as a whole.
[0084] Further, one of the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20 is provided with a clamping body 17, and the other one is provided with a clamping site 29a, and the clamping body 17 and the clamping site 29a are buckled and connected; or, one of the pre-storage cup 10 and the reaction cup 20 is provided with a plug hole 29b, and the other one is provided with a plug column 18, and the plug column 18 is inserted and fixed in the plug hole 29b.
