Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of small molecule analysis and detection, and in particular to a test paper for detecting estrone and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lateral flow immunochromatographic test strips (LFIA) have the characteristics of fast analytical performance, good selectivity, low cost, small sample volume requirement, easy large-scale production and stable long-term storage, and are widely used in the design of portable analytical detection sensors. The photothermal lateral flow immunochromatographic test strips (LFIA) used as photothermal signal probes in LFIA have increased sensitivity by dozens to hundreds of times compared with the colorimetric mode. The signal of this type of detection method is caused by temperature changes due to the photothermal effect, with low background signals and sensitive sensing. It can be performed on various substrates of different colors and has great application potential. At present, new nanomaterials with higher photothermal conversion efficiency are still needed as photothermal signal probes to form more obvious thermal contrast, so as to further improve the performance of photothermal LFIA.

[0003] Fluorides generally have lower phonon energy and higher light transmittance, which is beneficial to reduce light scattering and improve light utilization. In terms of photothermal conversion, the fluoride matrix may help absorb and convert photons, thereby improving photothermal efficiency. Yb2O3 is a rare earth oxide with excellent thermal and chemical stability.

[0046] The photothermal signal probe is used in a form independent of the main structure of the photothermal test strip, or the photothermal signal probe is dried on a conjugate pad and the conjugate pad is inserted between the sample pad and the NC membrane for use.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the method for detecting estrone with a test strip comprises the following steps:

[0048] When the photothermal signal probe is used in a form independent of the main structure of the photothermal test strip, it specifically includes:

[0049] The sample to be tested and the CsYF4@Yb2O3-mAb solution are placed in a running buffer and mixed for 3-10 minutes, and then placed in the test strip; after 15-30 minutes, the colorimetric result is read and semi-quantitative analysis is performed; a colorimetric result photo is obtained, and grayscale analysis is performed using image processing software for quantitative analysis;

[0051] The sample to be tested is mixed with the running buffer solution, and placed in the test strip. After 20-40 minutes, the colorimetric result is read, and a colorimetric result photo is obtained for semi-quantitative analysis.

[0055] The detection principle of the photothermal test strip for detecting estrone of the present invention is as follows: the quality control area (area C) is used as a reference to verify the validity of the test strip results, and it always appears purple. After the sample solution and CsYF4@Yb2O3-mAb are pre-mixed, they move toward the absorbent paper under capillary action. When there is no estrone in the sample, CsYF4@Yb2O3-mAb is captured by estrone-BSA in the T area, and the T area is visible to the naked eye as purple. Under the excitation of the laser, CsYF4@Yb2O3-mAb produces an LSPR effect, and the temperature rises. Excess CsYF4@Yb2O3-mAb will be captured by the secondary antibody in the C area, so that the C area also appears purple; when the sample contains estrone, estrone combines with part of the CsYF4@Yb2O3-mAb, thereby reducing the total amount of CsYF4@Yb2O3-mAb captured in the T area, and the LSPR effect of the CsYF4@Yb2O3-mAb in the T area is reduced or even disappears, and the temperature drops. As the concentration of estrone in the sample increases, less and less CsYF4@Yb2O3-mAb is captured in the T zone, and the temperature of the T zone gradually decreases, which is inversely proportional to the analyte concentration.

[0056] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are:

[0057] The CsYF4@Yb2O3 composite material provided by the present invention is used in the preparation and application of photothermal test strips. There is no need to change the conventional structure of the test strips. It can be used as a photothermal signal probe and can be used independently of the photothermal test strips for convenient storage, or it can be fixed on the binding pad of the test strip for easy carrying.

[0058] The detection method provided by the present invention includes a photothermal test strip. The photothermal test strip for detecting estrone is based on the plasma resonance effect, uses a CsYF4@Yb2O3 composite material with high photothermal conversion efficiency and microsize as a T-zone fixed photothermal signal probe, is excited by a near-infrared LED light source, and is combined with an intelligent terminal and infrared thermal imaging accessories to realize the collection of photothermal signals, effectively remove the base color of the sample liquid and the fluorescent background interference of the test strip, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio.
