Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of multi-sample processing, in particular to a multi-sample processing method for a coagulation tester. Background Art

[0002] Coagulation tester is an important instrument widely used in the medical field to evaluate the coagulation function of human blood. Coagulation is a complex and critical physiological process involving the interaction of many coagulation factors to prevent excessive bleeding and maintain the integrity of blood vessels. The emergence of coagulation tester makes it possible to accurately evaluate this process. The working principle of coagulation tester is based on a variety of technologies. The most common ones are optical detection methods, which determine the coagulation time and related parameters by monitoring the changes in light scattering, transmission or absorption during blood coagulation. There are also electrochemical detection methods, which use electrochemical reactions on the electrode surface to detect material changes in the coagulation process. These testers are usually able to measure multiple coagulation-related indicators, such as prothrombin time (PT), partially activated thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen content, etc. These indicators are of great significance for the diagnosis of various hemorrhagic and thrombotic diseases.

[0003] The existing multi-sample processing technology of coagulation testers has significant defects in time efficiency. When processing multiple samples, the entire process lacks systematic optimization, resulting in excessive time spent in each link, making multi-sample processing time-consuming, which not only wastes time but also increases the cost of testing. In addition, the existing coagulation testers perform poorly in the accuracy of multi-sample test results, affecting the accuracy of the test results. For this reason, we propose a multi-sample processing method for coagulation testers. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a multi-sample processing method for a coagulation tester.

[0005] In order to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multi-sample processing method for a coagulation tester, wherein the specific operation steps of the multi-sample processing method for a coagulation tester are as follows:

[0006] Step 1: Collect multiple coagulation blood samples, place them in specific sterile sample containers, perform visual inspection on the samples, and remove samples with less than 2 ml of blood, coagulated samples (visible fibrin threads), and samples that are severely contaminated (visible foreign matter and color abnormalities).

[0007] Step 2: Transfer the sample after preliminary screening to a centrifuge device with temperature control function, and then start the centrifuge device to perform centrifugal operation to separate the sample into a plasma layer and a blood cell layer;

[0008] Step 3: Slowly draw out the separated plasma and transfer it to a new sterile container, add magnetic beads with surface modification that specifically recognize impurities and interfering substances to the plasma, and incubate at 23°C to 28°C for 30 to 35 minutes. Stir during the incubation process to adsorb the magnetic beads through an external magnetic field, thereby removing impurities and interfering substances in the plasma;

[0009] Step 4: The plasma treated with magnetic beads is passed through an ultrafiltration device, using an ultrafiltration membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm and ultrafiltration at a pressure of 0.1 MPa to remove macromolecules with a molecular weight greater than 100 kDa and small molecule interferences with a molecular weight less than 1 kDa in the plasma;

[0010] Step 5: Add a 10% trichloroacetic acid solution to the ultrafiltered plasma, react for 18 to 22 minutes at a pH of 4.5 to 5.0 and a temperature of 37°C to 40°C to precipitate trace impurities, place in a centrifuge to remove the precipitate, and centrifuge at a speed of 3000 rpm to 3200 rpm for 8 to 12 minutes;

[0011] Step 6: Use a spectrophotometer to measure the concentration of the target substance in the treated plasma. According to the requirements of the coagulation test, when the concentration exceeds 5.0 mg / ml, it is diluted with 0.9% saline at a ratio of 1:1. When the concentration is lower than 0.5 mg / ml, it is concentrated by vacuum rotary evaporation to keep the plasma concentration between 0.5 mg / ml and 5.0 mg / ml. The treated sample is then placed in a coagulation tester for testing.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: In the step 2, the centrifugal equipment used has a temperature control function, and the centrifugal treatment is carried out at a rotation speed of 3000rpm to 3200rpm, the centrifugal time is 13min to 16min, and the centrifugal temperature is maintained at 4°C to 6°C. This low temperature can reduce the activity of enzymes in the blood and reduce the occurrence of biochemical reactions, thereby maintaining the original state of various components in the sample.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: In the step three, the magnetic beads are incubated with slight stirring at a speed of 90rpm to 110rpm, which can promote the uniform distribution of the magnetic beads in the plasma, avoid local aggregation of the magnetic beads, and increase the chance and efficiency of the magnetic beads binding to impurities.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: in the step 4, the flux of the ultrafiltration membrane is regularly monitored during the ultrafiltration process, and when the flux drops to 50% of the initial flux, the ultrafiltration membrane needs to be replaced immediately.

[0015] As a further solution of the present invention: in the step 5, after the chemical precipitation centrifugation reaction is completed, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is used to detect the effect of precipitation removal to ensure that the plasma meets the quality requirements of the coagulation test after pretreatment.

[0016] As a further solution of the present invention: in step six, the diluted and concentrated plasma needs to be mixed again by vortex mixing for 2 minutes to 4 minutes to ensure that the concentration gradient is broken and the plasma is fully mixed.

[0017] As a further solution of the present invention: after each step from step 1 to step 6 is completed, the container and the operating tool are cleaned with a 75% ethanol solution to remove residual samples and processing reagents. The cleaning operation should follow strict operating procedures to ensure that the ethanol solution is in full contact with the container and the tool, and after cleaning, they should be thoroughly rinsed and dried to remove ethanol residues to avoid affecting subsequent sample processing.

[0018] As a further solution of the present invention: the containers and tools need to be dried at 60° C. to 80° C. for 25 min to 30 min after cleaning to ensure that the containers and tools are dry and sterile.

[0019] As a further solution of the present invention: in steps 1 to 6, the entire sample pretreatment process is carried out in an environment with a cleanliness level of 100, and the operators are required to wear disposable sterile protective clothing, gloves and masks that meet hygiene standards to ensure the sterility and safety of each operation.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0021] 1. The present invention pre-treats the sample before the coagulation tester is tested, including a centrifugation step, and controls the temperature, rotation speed and time of the centrifugation device, so as to quickly and effectively separate the plasma layer and the blood cell layer, thereby saving time for subsequent processing. The magnetic beads with specific ligands on the surface are added and incubated, and stirred, so as to quickly and effectively remove impurities and interfering substances in the plasma. The ultrafiltration membrane with a specific pore size and appropriate pressure are used in the ultrafiltration process, so as to quickly remove macromolecular and small molecule interfering substances. The chemical precipitation step can quickly precipitate trace impurities and remove them by centrifugation. The subsequent adjustment of the plasma concentration can also be completed quickly, so that the treated sample can be quickly put into the coagulation tester for testing. Compared with the traditional processing method, the present method greatly shortens the time of sample testing and improves the efficiency of the entire testing process.

[0022] 2. The present invention excludes samples with insufficient blood volume, coagulation and serious contamination through strict appearance inspection standards. If these samples enter the detection process, they are very likely to cause deviations in the test results. The centrifugation operation is carried out under specific temperature conditions, which maintains the original state of various components in the sample and avoids biochemical reactions caused by improper temperature, thereby reducing the impact on the test results. The stirring during the magnetic bead incubation process and the reasonable incubation conditions ensure that the magnetic beads are fully combined with impurities and interfering substances, and these factors that affect the accuracy of the test are removed to the maximum extent. The ultrafiltration step can accurately remove interfering substances in a specific molecular weight range, further improving the purity of the plasma. The chemical precipitation step is carried out under strictly controlled pH, temperature and reaction time conditions, so that trace impurities can be effectively precipitated and removed, improving the quality of the plasma. In the concentration adjustment link after the treatment, the plasma concentration is accurately controlled within an appropriate range, ensuring the accuracy of the test results;

[0023] 3. The present invention eliminates samples that do not meet the requirements at the initial stage through strict sample screening steps, avoids subsequent useless processing operations on these samples, saves reagent and time costs, optimizes steps such as centrifugation, magnetic bead treatment, and ultrafiltration, thereby reducing the amount of reagents used and the operating time of the equipment while achieving the same processing effect. Through standardized cleaning and drying of containers and tools, their service life is extended and the replacement frequency is reduced, thereby saving procurement costs and generally reducing indirect costs caused by processing failures.

[0045] Control group,

[0046] Multiple coagulation samples were collected and placed in specific sterile sample containers. The samples were visually inspected and samples with less than 2 ml of blood, coagulated samples (visible fibrin threads appeared) and samples that were severely contaminated (visible foreign matter and color abnormalities appeared) were removed. Then, 20 groups of samples that had undergone preliminary screening were randomly selected and the processed samples were placed in a coagulation tester for testing.

[0047] Take 20 groups of samples from Example 1, Example 2 and the control group and two coagulation testers of the same specifications, stick labels of corresponding categories on the surfaces of 60 groups of sample containers for marking, and perform prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (FIB) content and thrombin time (TT) tests on 20 samples in each of the three groups, and repeat the test three times for each sample on each coagulation tester, and record the test values.

[0048] According to the attached Figure 1 As shown, after the prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and thrombin time (TT) tests of the 20 groups of samples pretreated in Example 1, it was found that the pretreated samples had a shorter test time in the coagulation tester, a higher fibrinogen (FIB) content, and could more accurately evaluate the coagulation function. In addition, the difference in the average values ​​measured by two coagulation testers of the same specifications was less, making the test results more accurate. In summary, the 20 groups of samples pretreated in Example 1 can greatly improve the detection efficiency of the samples in the coagulation tester, greatly shorten the detection time, and can enhance the detection accuracy and reduce errors.
