Description

Technical Field

[0002] Chemiluminescent labeling immunoassay is also called chemiluminescent immunoassay. The chemiluminescent immunoassay instrument consists of two parts, namely the immunoreaction system and the chemiluminescent analysis system. The chemiluminescent analysis system uses the catalysis of the chemiluminescent substance and the oxidation of the oxidant to form an excited intermediate. When this excited intermediate returns to a stable ground state, it emits photons at the same time, and the light quantum yield is measured using a luminescent signal measuring instrument.

[0092] When the analyzer provided by the present invention works normally, the first step is: the software operating system 10 sets the reagent items, checks the status of the consumable component 4, if the quantity is insufficient, needs to add reaction tubes and TIPs, observes the overflow degree in the waste box or directly clears out all waste; the second step is: puts the set reagent strips in the reagent library component 2; the third step is: pull out the reagent rack of the reagent library component 5, puts in the sample tube, with the barcode facing left and exposed for observation, and pushes the reagent rack into the warehouse along the track of the reagent library component 5 until a bead collision sound is heard and the panel light is on; the fourth step is: click the "Start" button on the touch screen of the software operating system 10 and wait for the result.

[0093] During the experiment, the shuttle bus of the reagent library component 2 hooks the middle strip of the reagent kit, pulls it into the shuttle bus, uses the reagent compartment module motor 2.1 to quickly reciprocate left and right for a short distance, and after rapid vibration, pushes it into the reagent temporary storage area component 12 for heating. The three-dimensional arm component 1 moves to the reaction tube position, and the Z-axis gripper grabs the reaction tube to the corresponding position of the incubation vibration mixing component 6, and the gripper returns to zero; the three-dimensional arm component 1 injects the pump module to the TIP area of ​​the consumable library component 4 for loading, returns to zero and moves to the sample tube of the sample compartment component 5 to extract the sample, and incubates the reaction tube of the vibration mixing component 6. The three-dimensional arm component 1 moves to the waste box inlet to unload the TIP; reload the TIP, move to the reagent storage area of ​​the reagent strip area of ​​the reagent library component 2, absorb the magnetic beads in position 1 and the enzyme in position 2 of the reagent strip, and put them into the reaction tube of the incubation vibration mixing component 6 to start incubation Oscillate and mix until a certain time; after oscillating and mixing, the three-dimensional arm component 1 clamps the reaction tube into the magnetic separation component 3, controls the needle lifting motor 3.4 in the magnetic separation component 3 to move the steel needle up and down, and sucks and exhales the liquid for reaction; then use the gripper of the three-dimensional arm component 1 to move the reaction cup from the magnetic separation component 3 to the incubation oscillation mixing component 6, and move the injection pump of the three-dimensional arm component 1 to the temporary storage area of ​​the reagent library component 2 to absorb the substrate liquid, and add it to the reaction tube of the incubation oscillation mixing component 6. Use the injection pump and TIP combination of the Z axis of the three-dimensional arm component to suck and exhale and mix, and the gripper of the three-dimensional arm component 1 moves the reaction tube on the incubation oscillation mixing component 6 to the light measuring component 7, covers the light shield and starts to read the detection value, and opens the light shield after reading. The gripper of the three-dimensional arm component 1 discards the reaction tube after reaction into the waste box. This is a single experimental process.

[0094] The single-portion chemiluminescent immunoassay analyzer provided by the present invention overturns the previous style of fully automatic immunoassay analyzers, that is, it retains the assembly line form to process samples, and makes an independent design for reagent packaging. The single independent cavity avoids the problem of the expiration date of the bottle opening during use, avoids reagent waste, and prevents cross contamination during the experiment. It is superior to previous single-portion immunoassay analyzers in terms of throughput, does not need to repeatedly replace consumables, is more conducive to use in small and medium-sized laboratories or inspection institutes, and improves the competitiveness of single-portion chemiluminescent immunoassay analyzers.
