Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of immunochemical analysis and detection technology, and particularly relates to a magnetic separation module and a high-speed fully automatic chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer. Background Art
[0002] A chemiluminescent immunoassay analyzer is an analytical instrument that combines chemiluminescence analysis with immunoassays. It utilizes the specific binding reaction between antigens and antibodies, combined with chemiluminescence technology, to detect the content of specific substances in a sample. For example, when testing for thyroid hormone in the blood, the thyroid hormone (antigen) specifically binds to the corresponding thyroid hormone antibody in the instrument. Its immunological principle is to utilize the specific binding properties of antigens and antibodies. The sample to be tested reacts with an antibody (or antigen) labeled with a chemiluminescent substance to form an antigen-antibody complex.
[0003] The steps for analysis and detection using a chemiluminescence immunoassay are as follows: first, the sample to be tested is pretreated. For example, biological samples such as blood and urine may require centrifugation and dilution. The treated sample is then immunoreacted with an antibody labeled with a chemiluminescent substance to form an antigen-antibody complex. Unbound substances are then removed through washing to reduce nonspecific background signals. The substrate that produces the chemiluminescent reaction is then added to the reaction system, and the substrate reacts with the labeled enzyme to produce a chemiluminescent signal. Finally, an optical detector such as a photomultiplier tube or photodiode is used to convert the chemiluminescent signal into an electrical signal for detection and analysis, thereby obtaining information such as the concentration of the target substance in the sample. Due to the significant technical advantages of high sensitivity, high specificity, wide linear range, and rapid detection, chemiluminescence immunoassays are widely used in clinical diagnosis and scientific research.
[0004] According to the structure, the chemiluminescence immunoassay instrument includes a sample processing system, a reagent storage and distribution system, a reaction system, a detection system, and a computer control system. The reaction system includes the reagent disk module, sample needle module, magnetic separation module and other structures mentioned in this solution. The magnetic separation modules currently prevalent on the market usually adopt a structure in which the cleaning fluid and the substrate are mixed simultaneously, which makes it difficult to meet the mixing strength requirements of the cleaning fluid and the substrate at the same time. The defects of the simultaneous mixing of the cleaning fluid and the substrate are relatively obvious, mainly including: 1. Risk of cross-contamination; 2. Reduced reaction stability; 3. Unsatisfactory mixing effect; 4. Increased difficulty in instrument maintenance.
[0005] In order to isolate and mix the cleaning solution and substrate with different intensities, the present invention hopes to provide a magnetic separation module and a high-speed fully automatic chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer. Summary of the Invention

The upper end of the cuvette 11 presses against the lower end of the corresponding capping head 46. The substrate mixing column 26 rotates to mix the contents of the cuvette 11. After mixing, the C-shaped fixed plate 23 moves downward and returns to its original position. Finally, the cuvette 11 moves along with the rotating disk 18 to the cup exchange port 35, where it is removed by the armset module 7. Simultaneously, a new cuvette 11 is placed in another armset module 7.
