Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of small molecule analysis and detection technology, and in particular to a test strip for detecting ethinylestradiol and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) strips are widely used in the design of portable analytical sensors due to their advantages of rapid analysis, good selectivity, low cost, small sample volume requirements, ease of large-scale production, and stable long-term storage. Photothermal LFIA strips, which utilize photothermal signal probes, offer sensitivity improvements of tens to hundreds of times compared to colorimetric methods. The signal from this type of detection is generated by temperature changes caused by the photothermal effect, resulting in low background signal, high sensitivity, and the ability to operate on various substrates of different colors, demonstrating strong application potential. Currently, there is still a need for new nanomaterials with higher photothermal conversion efficiency to serve as photothermal signal probes, forming a more pronounced thermal contrast to further improve the performance of photothermal LFIA strips.
[0003] Sb₂WO₆ is a compound with unique photoelectric properties, showing promising applications in photocatalysis and photothermal conversion. For example, studies have constructed a three-dimensional biomimetic bird's nest-shaped nanocomposite material by in-situ combining Sb₂WO₆ and D-fructose (D-Fru), which exhibits excellent photothermal conversion performance, enabling efficient solar photothermal conversion and water evaporation. Furthermore, NiS, a sulfide semiconductor material with a narrow band gap and high light absorption coefficient, also shows potential for applications in photocatalysis and photothermal conversion.

[0040] When the sample contains ethinylestradiol, the T region appears light purple or even disappears, and the temperature decreases.
[0041] The quality control area, which serves as a reference for verifying the validity of the test strip results, always appears purple.
[0042] The sixth objective of this invention is to provide a test strip for detecting ethinylestradiol, comprising a photothermal signal probe and a test strip body;
[0043] The photothermal signal probe was prepared by mixing the Sb2WO6@NiS composite material with the analyte antibody and bovine serum albumin to obtain the Sb2WO6@NiS-mAb mixture.
[0044] The main body of the test strip comprises: a sample pad, a nitrocellulose membrane (NC membrane), and an absorbent pad, which are horizontally overlapped and pasted from top to bottom on a PVC base plate.

[0045] The photothermal signal probe can be used independently of the main structure of the photothermal test strip, or the photothermal signal probe can be dried on the conjugate pad and the conjugate pad can be inserted between the sample pad and the NC membrane.
[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the method for detecting ethinylestradiol using test strips includes the following steps:
[0047] When the photothermal signal probe is used independently of the main structure of the photothermal test strip, it specifically includes:
[0048] The sample to be tested was mixed with Sb2WO6@NiS-mAb solution in the running buffer, and then the test strip was placed in it. After 10-15 minutes, the test strip was removed and dried. The photothermal analysis results were then read and quantitative analysis was performed.
[0049] When the photothermal signal probe is dried on the conjugate pad and the conjugate pad is inserted between the sample pad and the NC membrane in the main body structure of the test strip, the specific steps include:
[0050] Mix the sample to be tested with the running buffer, then place it into the test strip. After 10-15 minutes, remove the test strip and let it dry. Read the photothermal analysis results and perform quantitative analysis.
[0051] The method for reading photothermal analysis results after the test strip is dried is as follows: The test strip is placed under a near-infrared LED light source for excitation, and the temperature result is obtained using a thermal imaging or temperature measuring device and a smart display terminal. The thermal imaging or temperature measuring device includes at least one of a mobile phone infrared thermal imaging analysis accessory, an infrared thermal imager, and a temperature measuring gun.

[0054] The detection principle of the photothermal test strip for ethinylestradiol in this invention is as follows: The control zone (zone C) serves as a reference for verifying the validity of the test strip results and always appears purple. After the sample solution and Sb2WO6@NiS-mAb are premixed, they move towards the absorbent paper under capillary action. When there is no ethinylestradiol in the sample, Sb2WO6@NiS-mAb is captured by ethinylestradiol-BSA in zone T, and zone T appears purple to the naked eye. Under laser excitation, Sb2WO6@NiS-mAb exhibits an LSPR effect, and the temperature rises. Excess Sb2WO6@NiS-mAb is captured by the secondary antibody in zone C, so zone C also appears purple. When the sample contains ethinylestradiol, ethinylestradiol binds to some of the Sb2WO6@NiS-mAb, thereby reducing the total amount of Sb2WO6@NiS-mAb captured in zone T. The LSPR effect of Sb2WO6@NiS-mAb in zone T decreases or even disappears, and the temperature drops. As the concentration of ethinylestradiol in the sample increases, less and less Sb2WO6@NiS-mAb is trapped in the T region, and the temperature of the T region gradually decreases, which is inversely proportional to the analyte concentration.
[0055] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows:
[0056] The Sb2WO6@NiS composite material provided by this invention can be used in the preparation and application of photothermal test strips without changing the conventional structure of the test strips. It can be used as a photothermal signal probe, and can be used independently of the aforementioned photothermal test strip form for easy storage, or it can be fixed to the bonding pad of the test strip for easy portability.
[0057] The present invention provides a detection method including a photothermal test strip for detecting ethinylestradiol. The photothermal test strip is based on the plasma resonance effect, using a high photothermal conversion efficiency and a small size Sb2WO6@NiS composite material as a T-zone fixed photothermal signal probe, excited by a near-infrared LED light source, and combined with a smart terminal and infrared thermal imaging accessories to realize the acquisition of photothermal signals, effectively removing the sample liquid base color and test strip fluorescence background interference, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio.

When the photothermal signal probe is dried on the conjugate pad and the conjugate pad is inserted between the sample pad of the test paper body structure and the nitrocellulose membrane, the specific steps include: Mix the sample to be tested with the running buffer, then place it into the test strip. After 10-15 minutes, remove the strip and let it dry. Read the photothermal analysis results and perform quantitative analysis. The method for reading photothermal analysis results after the test strip is dried is as follows: The test strip is placed under a near-infrared LED light source for excitation, and the temperature result is obtained using a thermal imaging device or temperature measuring device and a smart display terminal. The thermal imaging device or temperature measuring device includes at least one of a mobile phone infrared thermal imaging analysis accessory, an infrared thermal imager, and a temperature gun. The smart display terminal includes at least one of a computer and a smartphone. The thermal imaging device acquires photothermal imaging photos and outputs and displays them through the connected smart display terminal.
