[0033] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a handheld dropper experimental system for urine health detection, including a dropper electrode 1 and a handheld instrument 2.

[0035] The dropper-type electrode 1 is prepared by laser-induced graphene technology and has the characteristics of low cost and high specific surface area; nano-gold branches are constructed on the electrode surface by electrochemical deposition to enhance the load capacity of the sensitive material in the curved sensing interface and increase the specific surface area; the composite sensitive material and the porous enzyme membrane are further modified on the nano-gold branches; the dropper-type electrode 1 is rolled and pasted into a disposable dropper-type structure and connected to the quick connector 21 at the bottom of the handheld instrument 2, thereby achieving a sealed connection and an electrical connection;

[0036] The handheld instrument 2 absorbs and discharges the test liquid through the piston handle 221; electrochemical detection is realized through the micro electrochemical workstation module 23 integrated inside the handheld instrument 2, and the quantitative detection of hydrogen peroxide, glucose and oxalic acid markers in urine is realized through Bluetooth interaction with the host computer.

[0037] Specifically, the dropper-type electrode 1 is composed of two polyimide (PI) tape substrates of the same size and thickness of 0.2 mm, one of which is a patterned PI substrate 3 and the other is a blank PI substrate 4; after the electrode pattern is constructed, the patterned PI substrate 3 is cut into a fan shape by laser cutting, and an indicator line is engraved on the side as a reference boundary for pasting. Similarly, a blank PI substrate 4 without laser-induced graphene patterning is cut out, and an indicator line is also engraved on its side as a reference boundary for pasting; the back of the patterned PI substrate 3 and the front of the blank PI substrate 4 are pasted together along the indicator line boundary by using the viscosity of the PI substrate itself, and finally, they are rolled into a conical structure along the side line of the PI substrate so that the indicator line boundary portions of the two substrates overlap and are pasted. The production and structural schematic diagram of the dropper-type electrode 1 is shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.

[0038] Specifically, the patterned PI substrate 3 is made of laser-induced graphene technology, and the electrode pattern is printed on the PI substrate by a laser engraving machine. Before printing, the PI substrate needs to be thoroughly cleaned. An integrated fiber laser marking machine equipped with a third-generation solid-state fiber laser is used to adjust the filling method and line spacing of the vector graphics, and the laser power is set to 8.5%, the frequency is 13 kHz, and the scanning speed is 420 mm / s to achieve the best conductive performance. Six electrodes with an area of ​​about 9 mm are constructed on the patterned PI substrate 3. 2 The structure comprises a sector-shaped electrode, six rectangular electrode interfaces 14, six leads 15 and an insulating layer 16; the six sector-shaped electrodes include one reference electrode 11, one counter electrode 12, and four working electrodes 13, and the surface of the reference electrode 11 is coated with Ag / AgCl slurry; the shape and arrangement of the electrodes are designed according to the surface stress distribution of the dropper-type electrode to ensure that the stress on the electrodes is minimized so that they can be firmly attached to the surface of the patterned PI substrate 3; the six leads 15 are used to connect the sector-shaped electrodes and the rectangular electrode interfaces 14, and the six rectangular electrode interfaces 14 are used to establish an electrical connection with the quick connector 21; the insulating layer 16 is formed by cutting the PI tape with a laser engraving machine, and is attached to the surface of the patterned PI substrate 3 along the indicator line, exposing only the sector-shaped electrodes and the rectangular electrode interfaces 14 and sealing other areas to prevent the leads 15 from contacting the air or the liquid to be tested.

[0039] Specifically, the formation of nano-gold branches is to immerse the working electrode corresponding to the dropper electrode, the external platinum wire counter electrode and the Ag / AgCl reference electrode into the gold branch growth solution, and apply a -0.2 V potential difference to the working electrode in the gold branch growth solution for 4 minutes by constant potential method, so that gold is reduced and precipitated on the surface of the working electrode. The gold branch growth solution is prepared from 100.25 mg of chloroauric acid and 10 ml of 1M HCl solution.

[0040] Specifically, the composite sensitive material is Prussian blue (PB) and nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) deposited on the working electrode in sequence. PB is an ion-electron transducer. Compared with traditional Pt, its catalytic activity and selectivity for H2O2 in neutral medium are improved by three orders of magnitude; while NiHCF is a stabilizing layer with a structure similar to PB. Because its atomic arrangement is more orderly and its chemical activity is more stable, it greatly improves the overall stability of the sensor without affecting the catalytic performance of PB.

[0041] Specifically, the PB deposition is as follows: an electrolyte containing 10 ml of 0.1M HCl and 74.55 mg KCl is prepared, and 4.055 mg FeCl3 and 8.231 mg K3[Fe(CN)6] are added to the electrolyte. An electrochemical three-electrode system consisting of a working electrode corresponding to a dropper electrode, an external platinum wire counter electrode, and an Ag / AgCl reference electrode is immersed in the electrolyte, and a square wave with an amplitude of 0.5 V, a frequency of 1 Hz, and a duty cycle of 10% is applied to the three-electrode system for 60 cycles of cyclic deposition.

[0042] Specifically, the NiHCF deposition method includes preparing a NIHCF deposition solution containing 1.3575 mg NiCl2, 1.6462 mg K3[Fe(CN)6] and 745.5 mg KCl in a total volume of 10 ml. The working electrode corresponding to the dropper electrode and the electrochemical three-electrode system consisting of an external platinum wire counter electrode and an Ag / AgCl reference electrode are immersed in the NiHCF deposition solution, and cyclic voltammetry is used to perform 10 cycles of cyclic deposition in the solution. The scanning potential range is set to 0 to 0.8 V, and the scanning rate is 100 mV / s.

[0043] Specifically, the enzyme membrane embeds the target-related oxidase in the membrane solution to provide the enzyme loading and keep it stable. Comparison shows that the porous enzyme membrane has doubled the sensitivity of glucose detection compared to the agarase membrane.

[0044] Specifically, the porous enzyme membrane: 1 mg Al2O3 is added to a mixture containing 1 g agarose, 5 g glycerol and 94 g water to form a porous membrane emulsion; the porous membrane emulsion is heated at 80°C for 6 h, and the membrane emulsion is shaken evenly every 1 h. 1 mg glucose oxidase is dissolved in 100 μL PBS buffer with a pH of 7.2 to form an enzyme solution, and then the enzyme solution and the porous membrane emulsion are mixed in a volume ratio of 1:2, and 4 μL of the mixed solution is dropped on the working electrode and dried naturally.

[0045] Specifically, the agarase membrane: prepare a 1% agarose solution as an agar membrane emulsion. Heat the agar membrane emulsion at 80°C for 6 h, and oscillate the membrane emulsion evenly every 1 h. Dissolve 1 mg of glucose oxidase in 100 μL of PBS buffer with a pH of 7.2 to form an enzyme solution, then mix the enzyme solution with the agar membrane emulsion in a volume ratio of 1:2, take 4 μL of the mixed solution and drop it on the working electrode, and dry it naturally.

[0046] Specifically, the handheld instrument 2 includes an instrument housing 25, a pipette 22, a quick connector 21, a micro electrochemical workstation module 23 and a power module 26. The instrument housing includes a housing body 251, a housing front cover 252 and a housing back cover 253. The housing front cover 252 is installed with a micro electrochemical workstation module 23; the micro electrochemical workstation module 23 includes a power supply voltage stabilization module, a microcontroller STM32 module, a data conversion module, an electrochemical front-end module and a Bluetooth communication module, which can realize common electrochemical treatment methods such as cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry. The housing back cover 253 is installed with a power module 26.

[0047] A cavity is designed in the center of the shell body 251 for installing the pipette 22. The pipette 22 includes a piston handle 221, a pipette cylinder 222 and a pipette connector 223. After the pipette 22 is fixedly connected to the cavity of the shell body 251, the piston handle 221 of the pipette 22 is just higher than the top of the shell body 251, and the pipette connector 223 at the bottom of the pipette 22 is just lower than the bottom of the shell body 251; 6 wire holes 254 are also provided at the bottom of the shell body 251; the quick connector 21 is located at the bottom of the handheld instrument 2, and is a double-layer hollow cone, in which the inner layer is an airtight layer 211 and the outer layer is a conductive layer 212.

[0048] Six rectangular through holes 213 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer surface of the bottom of the quick connector 21, which are connected to the conductive layer 212. Conductive copper blocks 214 are embedded in the rectangular through holes 213. The outer side of the conductive copper block 214 is connected to the surface of the quick connector 21, and the inner side is connected to a wire. The wire passes through the six wire holes 254 at the bottom of the shell body 251 and enters the interior of the shell body to connect to the electrochemical workstation module 23; the airtight layer 211 of the inner layer of the quick connector 21 is tightly connected to the pipette connector 223 at the bottom of the pipette 22; there is a circular through hole 215 at the bottom of the quick connector 21, which is used to establish an airtight connection between the airtight layer 211 of the quick connector 21 and the pipette electrode 1. The schematic diagram of the quick connector 21 is shown in FIG. Figure 7 shown.

[0049] The dropper electrode 1 is connected to the quick connector 21 in an airtight manner by quick plugging and unplugging. On the one hand, the dropper electrode 1 is connected to the pipette 22 in an airtight manner by the airtight layer 211 of the quick connector 21, and the test liquid is sucked into or discharged from the dropper electrode 1 by moving the piston handle 221 of the pipette 22. On the other hand, the six rectangular electrode interfaces 14 of the dropper electrode 1 are in contact with the six conductive copper blocks 214 of the quick connector 21, and finally an electrical connection with the electrochemical workstation module 23 is achieved. The schematic diagram of the handheld instrument 2 is shown in FIG. Figures 4 to 7 shown.

[0050] Example 1: The formation of nano-gold branches is to immerse the working electrode corresponding to the dropper electrode, the external platinum wire counter electrode and the Ag / AgCl reference electrode into the gold branch growth solution. The working electrode is applied with a potential difference of -0.2 V and -0.6 V respectively in the gold branch growth solution for 4 minutes by constant potential method, so that gold is reduced and precipitated on the surface of the working electrode. The gold branch growth solution is prepared from 100.25 mg of chloroauric acid and 10 ml of 1M HCl solution. Scanning electron microscopy of the electrode surface is used to obtain the deposited gold branch morphology as shown in the figure. Figure 8 (a) and Figure 8 As shown in (b) in the figure. It can be seen that when the deposition potential is -0.6 V, a gold branch with a "thorn" morphology is formed. This is because the precipitation rate of gold atoms is faster under a larger negative potential, resulting in a larger gradient of the chloroauric acid solution at the tip of the phase, which makes it tend to grow along the "trunk" and ignores the smaller solid phases in its side branches. When the deposition potential is -0.2 V, a gold branch with an "olive branch" morphology is formed. This is because the lower negative potential makes the precipitation rate of the inlet relatively slow, resulting in a slow change in the gradient distribution of the chloroauric acid solution, which not only promotes the growth of the "trunk", but also the tiny protrusions in the side branches will grow and form a more luxuriant structure. Considering the interaction area between the test solution and the enzyme membrane, -0.2 V was selected as the deposition potential.

[0051] Example 2: The composite sensitive material is Prussian blue (PB) and nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) deposited on the working electrode in sequence. PB is an ion-electron transducer. Compared with traditional Pt, its catalytic activity and selectivity for H2O2 in neutral medium are improved by three orders of magnitude; while NiHCF is a stabilizing layer with a structure similar to PB. Because its atomic arrangement is more orderly and its chemical activity is more stable, it greatly improves the overall stability of the sensor without affecting the catalytic performance of PB.

[0052] Specifically, the PB deposition method comprises the following steps: preparing an electrolyte having a total volume of 10 ml and containing 0.1 ml of 1M HCl and 74.55 mg of KCl, and adding 4.055 mg of FeCl3 and 8.231 mg of K3[Fe(CN)6] to the electrolyte; immersing an electrochemical three-electrode system consisting of a working electrode corresponding to a dropper electrode, an external platinum wire counter electrode, and an Ag / AgCl reference electrode into the electrolyte, and applying a square wave cyclic deposition with an amplitude of 0.5 V, a frequency of 1 Hz, and a duty cycle of 10% to the three-electrode system for 60 cycles.

[0053] Specifically, the NiHCF deposition method includes preparing a NIHCF deposition solution containing 1.3575 mg NiCl2, 1.6462 mg K3[Fe(CN)6] and 745.5 mg KCl in a total volume of 10 ml; immersing the working electrode corresponding to the dropper electrode and the electrochemical three-electrode system consisting of an external platinum wire counter electrode and an Ag / AgCl reference electrode in the NiHCF deposition solution, and performing cyclic deposition in the solution for 10 cycles by cyclic voltammetry. The scanning potential range is set to 0 to 0.8 V, and the scanning rate is 100 mV / s.

[0054] In order to prove that NiHCF can enhance the stability of PB, the current changes of the electrode deposited with PB and the electrode deposited with PB+NiHCF were compared in a 2 mM H2O2 solution by constant potential method for 30 min. Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that the current response of the electrode deposited with only PB shows a significant decrease during the long-term measurement, while the current response of the electrode deposited with PB and NiHCF remains almost unchanged during the measurement. This shows that depositing NiHCF on the surface of PB greatly improves the stability of PB.

[0055] Example 3: The enzyme membrane is to embed the target-related oxidase in the membrane solution to provide the enzyme loading and keep it stable. In order to compare the effect of the enzyme membrane, the it curves of the electrodes with fixed agarase membrane and porous enzyme membrane in a series of glucose solutions with concentration gradients (the concentrations are 20 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM, 200 μM, 500 μM, 700 μM, 1000μM, 3000 μM, 5000 μM) were measured, and the current intensity of the electrode at different concentrations at 100 s was plotted, as shown in Figure 3. Fig.10 shown.

[0056] Specifically, the porous enzyme membrane: 1 mg Al2O3 is added to a mixture containing 1 g agarose, 5 g glycerol and 94 g water to form a porous membrane emulsion; the porous membrane emulsion is heated at 80°C for 6 h, and the membrane emulsion is shaken evenly every 1 h. 1 mg glucose oxidase is dissolved in 100 μL PBS buffer with pH = 7.2 to form an enzyme solution, and then the enzyme solution and the porous membrane emulsion are mixed in a volume ratio of 1:2, and 4 μL of the mixed solution is dropped on the working electrode and dried naturally.

[0057] Specifically, the agarase membrane: prepare a 1% agarose solution as an agar membrane emulsion. Heat the agar membrane emulsion at 80°C for 6 h, and oscillate the membrane emulsion evenly every 1 h. Dissolve 1 mg of glucose oxidase in 100 μL of PBS buffer with a pH of 7.2 to form an enzyme solution, then mix the enzyme solution with the agar membrane emulsion in a volume ratio of 1:2, take 4 μL of the mixed solution and drop it on the working electrode, and dry it naturally.

[0058] from Fig.10 The sensitivity of agarase membrane electrode to glucose catalysis is -0.6 μA·mM -1 , the linearity is 0.9922; the sensitivity of porous enzyme membrane electrode to glucose is -1.2 μA·mM -1 , the linearity is 0.9954. It can be found that the sensitivity of the porous enzyme membrane to glucose detection is doubled compared with the agarase membrane, so the porous enzyme membrane was finally selected.

[0059] Example 4: After verifying and optimizing the above sensing mechanism and sensitive materials, the sensing system was constructed on the LIG electrode. First, a gold branch structure was constructed on the surface of the LIG electrode at a potential of -0.2 V in a chloroauric acid solution, and PB and NiHCF were further deposited on the electrode. CV was scanned in H2O2 solutions with different concentration gradients (concentrations were 0 mM, 5 mM, 10 mM, and 20 mM, respectively). The peak value of the reduction peak was plotted to obtain Fig.11 The test results show that the sensitivity of the constructed LIG electrode to H2O2 is -9.7 μA·mM -1 , the linearity is 0.9994.

[0060] Subsequently, the porous enzyme membranes were further modified on the basis of the PB layer and the NiHCF layer, including porous enzyme membranes encapsulating glucose oxidase and porous enzyme membranes encapsulating oxalate oxidase. The responses to different concentrations of glucose and oxalic acid were tested, and standard curves were established. First, the it curves of the LIG electrode in a series of glucose solutions with a concentration gradient (the concentrations were 20 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM, 200 μM, 500 μM, 700 μM, 1000 μM) were measured, and the current intensity of the electrode at different concentrations at 100 s was plotted, as shown in Figure 2. Fig.12 As shown in Figure 2, the sensitivity of the porous enzyme membrane electrode to catalyze glucose on the LIG electrode is -2.2 μA·mM -1 , the linearity is 0.9809.

[0061] The LIG electrode was immersed in a PBS solution and oxalic acid was added dropwise to change the oxalic acid concentration in the solution. The it curve was tested and the current response of the electrode at different concentrations (20 μM, 40 μM, 60 μM, 80 μM, 100 μM, 200 μM, 400 μM, 600 μM, 800 μM, 1 mM, 2 mM, 4 mM, 6 mM, 8 mM, 10 mM) was plotted, as shown in Figure 2. Fig.13 As shown in the figure, the sensitivity of the porous enzyme membrane electrode to catalyze oxalic acid is -1.7 μA·mM -1 , the linearity is 0.9995.

[0062] Example 5: A micro electrochemical workstation module is installed on the front cover of the housing. The micro electrochemical workstation module includes a power supply voltage regulator module, a microcontroller STM32 module, a data conversion module, an electrochemical front-end module and a Bluetooth communication module, which can realize common electrochemical treatment methods such as cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry. After establishing communication with the PC via the Bluetooth module, the commercial carbon electrode is connected to the portable electrochemical workstation and placed in a potassium ferrocyanide solution. The desktop APP parameters are set to cyclic voltammetry, with a maximum voltage of 0.6 V, a minimum voltage of -0.2 V, a rate of 0.1 V / s, and a forward scan starting from 0 V. Use a portable electrochemical workstation to scan CV for the electrode in H2O2 solutions with different concentration gradients (concentrations are 0 mM, 5 mM, 10 mM, 20 mM, and 30 mM, respectively). According to the peak value of the reduction peak, the peak value is plotted. Fig.14 The test results show that the sensitivity of the LIG electrode to H2O2 measured by the portable electrochemical workstation is -9 μA·mM -1 , and the linearity is 0.9994. The final results are basically consistent with those obtained by the desktop electrochemical workstation, proving that the functions of the portable electrochemical workstation and the desktop APP are as expected.
