Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) devices, and particularly to a multi-channel LC-MS device. Background Art
[0002] The balance of human biochemical metabolism is crucial for health. Metabolic disorders may lead to genetic diseases or chronic diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and reproductive system diseases. The detection of biochemical metabolic markers is crucial for disease diagnosis and the evaluation of treatment responses. Although immunological methods are widely used, they have limitations. The liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS) technology, with its high sensitivity and specificity, has become the gold standard for detecting small molecule biochemical markers and is widely used in clinical testing, showing great application potential.
[0003] Since clinical testing requires a large number of samples to be tested in a short time, many laboratories need to configure multiple sets of LC-MS devices to meet the experimental requirements. During the process of LC-MS, the chromatographic separation time is usually longer than the mass spectrometry acquisition time. For example, in the standard method for detecting 25-hydroxyvitamin D by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, the entire chromatographic separation process for vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 takes 3 minutes, and the sample elution time is from 2.5 minutes to 3.0 minutes. Therefore, the mass spectrometer only needs to collect signals from 2.5 minutes to 3.0 minutes, and the rest of the time is idle.
[0004] To improve the sample testing throughput, a multi-channel LC-MS device is usually used for detection. Common multi-channel LC-MS devices include an injector, a sample loop, multiple chromatographic columns, and switching valves. The injector sucks the sample into the sample loop, and the sample in the sample loop is pushed into one of the chromatographic columns through the switching valve and the solvent pump, and then the chromatographic column is connected to the mass spectrometer through the switching valve. In this way, the injector, the sample loop, and one of the chromatographic columns are connected to form a channel. Since a single injector is shared among multiple channels, and each sample suction process of the injector takes dozens of seconds, that is, the minimum time interval between the start of sample injection for adjacent two channels is at least the time required for the injector to complete one sample suction. Therefore, it is difficult to keep the sample injection time of each channel at a small interval, and thus the efficiency of the multi-channel cannot be fully utilized. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a multi-channel LC-MS device to solve the problem that the working efficiency of the multi-channel cannot be fully utilized due to being restricted by the sample suction time of the injector.

The term "and / or" used in the description of this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 , this application provides a multi-channel liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry device 100. The multi-channel liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry device 100 includes a first switching valve 10, a mass spectrometer 20, and a plurality of channels 30. The mass spectrometer 20 and the plurality of channels 30 are respectively connected to the first switching valve 10. Each channel 30 respectively includes an injection module 31 and a chromatographic separation module 32. The first switching valve 10 is used to connect one of the channels 30 to the mass spectrometer 20, so that the sample can enter the chromatographic separation module 32 through the corresponding injection module 31, and then enter the mass spectrometer 20 through the first switching valve 10.
[0026] The multi-channel liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry device 100 provided by the present application. Since each channel 30 is equipped with a sampling module 31 and a chromatographic separation module 32, each channel 30 can work completely independently. Specifically, the sampling module 31 in each channel 30 can sample independently and then send the sample into the chromatographic separation module 32 for chromatographic separation. Therefore, the sampling time of each channel 30 can be freely arranged. For example, multiple sampling modules 31 can start sampling at smaller time intervals and be used alternately, so that the sample peaks in adjacent two channels 30 occur at smaller time intervals, giving full play to the efficiency of the multi-channel. Or, multiple sampling modules 31 can also start sampling simultaneously.
[0027] It should be noted that in the multi-channel liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry device 100 provided by the present application, the mass spectrometer 20 can also be replaced with other detectors. For example, the mass spectrometer 20 can be replaced with an ultraviolet fluorescence detector.
[0028] Optionally, adjacent two channels 30 start sampling at a time interval of T1, where T1 is the time required for the mass spectrometer 20 to complete one sampling.
[0029] Exemplarily, when the multi-channel liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry device 100 is used for detecting the 25-hydroxyvitamin D standardization method. The number of channels 30 is configured to be six. By switching the first switching valve 10, one of the channels 30 is connected to the mass spectrometer 20 through the first switching valve 10. When each channel 30 is connected to the mass spectrometer 20, the entire process of chromatographic separation is 3 minutes; the sample peak time of each chromatographic separation module 32 starts from 2.5 minutes to 3.0 minutes, and the time required for the mass spectrometer 20 to complete one sampling is 0.5 minutes, that is, T1 = 0.5 minutes. By making adjacent two channels 30 start sampling at a time interval of 0.5 minutes, the throughput of sample testing can be increased to 6 times the original, that is, the effect of the multi-channel can be fully exerted, and the working efficiency of the multi-channel liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry device 100 can be improved.
[0030] Wherein, each chromatographic separation module 32 includes a second switching valve 321 and two chromatographic columns 322 arranged in parallel. The second switching valve 321 is used to connect one of the chromatographic columns 322 between the sampling module 31 and the first switching valve 10. When the chromatographic column 322 is connected between the sampling module 31 and the first switching valve 10, the sample can flow through the chromatographic column 322 from the sampling module 31 for chromatographic separation. By setting the second switching valve 321, only one chromatographic column 322 performs chromatographic separation in each chromatographic separation module 32, and the other chromatographic column 322 is used as a standby. In this way, when one of the chromatographic columns 322 is damaged, the standby chromatographic column 322 can be connected between the sampling module 31 and the first switching valve 10 by switching the second switching valve 321, so that the chromatographic separation module 32 can work continuously.
[0031] Optionally, in one embodiment, the second switching valve 321 has ports A1, B1, C1, D1, E1 and F1. One chromatographic column 322 is connected to ports A1 and B1, and the other chromatographic column 322 is connected to ports D1 and E1. Port C1 is connected to the injection module 31, and port F1 is connected to the first switching valve 10. The second switching valve 321 has state one and state two. When the second switching valve 321 is in state one, port A1 communicates with port F1, port B1 communicates with port C1, and port D1 communicates with port E1. When the second switching valve 321 is in state two, port A1 communicates with port B1, port C1 communicates with port D1, and port E1 communicates with port F1. That is, in this embodiment, the second switching valve 321 is a six-way valve. When the second switching valve 321 is in state one, one chromatographic column 322 is connected between the injection module 31 and the first switching valve 10. When the second switching valve 321 is in state two, the other chromatographic column 322 is connected between the injection module 31 and the first switching valve 10.
[0032] Each injection module 31 includes a sampler 311, a solvent pump 312, and a third switching valve 313. The sampler 311 has a first end 301 and a second end 302. The first end 301 is connected to the third switching valve 313, and the second end 302 is used to aspirate a sample or to connect to the chromatographic separation module 32. The solvent pump 312 is connected to the third switching valve 313. The third switching valve 313 can connect or disconnect the solvent pump 312 from the first end 301.
[0033] When the sampler 311 aspirates a sample through the second end 302, the third switching valve 313 disconnects the solvent pump 312 from the first end 301. In this way, it is possible to prevent the solvent in the solvent pump 312 from pushing out the sample in the sampler 311. When the second end 302 is connected to the chromatographic separation module 32 and the third switching valve 313 connects the solvent pump 312 to the first end 301, the solvent in the solvent pump 312 pushes the sample in the sampler 311 to the chromatographic separation module 32.
[0034] Furthermore, each injection module 31 further includes a needle seat 314. The needle seat 314 has an inlet 304 and an outlet 305. The third switching valve 313 has ports A2, B2, C2, D2, E2 and F2. The solvent pump 312 is connected to port B2, the first end 301 is connected to port C2, the second end 302 is detachably installed at the inlet 304, and the outlet 305 is connected to port F2. The third switching valve 313 has state one and state two. When the third switching valve 313 is in state one, port A2 communicates with port F2, port B2 communicates with port C2, and port D2 communicates with port E2. When the third switching valve 313 is in state two, port A2 communicates with port B2, port C2 communicates with port D2, and port E2 communicates with port F2.
[0035] That is, the third switching valve 313 is configured as a six-way valve. When the third switching valve 313 is in the first state and the second end 302 is installed at the inlet 304, the solvent pump 312 is connected to the first end 301, and the second end 302 is connected to the chromatographic separation module 32 through the needle seat 314. The solvent in the solvent pump 312 pushes the sample in the sampler 311 to the chromatographic separation module 32. During this process, the solvent cleans the sampler 311, thus saving the cleaning time of the sampler 311. And compared with the related structure that needs to set a sample loop, each injection module 31 in this application cancels the sample loop, which also saves the cleaning time of the sample loop. When the third switching valve 313 is in the second state, the solvent pump 312 is connected to the chromatographic separation module 32, and the solvent in the solvent pump 312 enters the chromatographic separation module 32 through the B2 port and the A2 port. At this time, the second end 302 is disassembled from the inlet 304 and is used to aspirate the sample. In this way, the third switching valve 313 can not only be used to connect or disconnect the solvent pump 312, but also be used to connect or disconnect the needle seat 314 and the chromatographic separation module 32.
[0036] Further, as Figure 3 shown, the A2 port is connected to the C1 port, and the D2 port is connected to a syringe 315. In this way, when the third switching valve 313 is in the second state, the syringe 315, the D2 port, the C2 port, the first end 301, and the second end 302 are connected in sequence. The syringe 315 provides a suction force, so that the sample enters the sampler 311 through the second end 302.
[0037] The multi-channel liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry device 100 further includes a transmission mechanism and a sample bottle 50. The sample bottle 50 is used to store samples, and the transmission mechanism is used to drive the sampler 311 to insert into the sample bottle 50.
[0038] Further, as Figure 2 shown, a plurality of samplers 311 are spaced apart along the first direction X, and the sample bottle 50 is spaced apart from the plurality of samplers 311 in the second direction Y, wherein the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other. In this way, when it is necessary to connect a certain channel 30 to the mass spectrometer 20, the transmission mechanism first moves the sampler 311 in this channel 30 along the first direction X so that this sampler 311 faces the sample bottle 50 along the second direction Y. Then, the transmission mechanism moves this sampler 311 along the second direction Y so that the corresponding second end 302 is inserted into the sample bottle 50 to aspirate the sample.
[0039] Exemplarily, in one embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the number of channels 30 is configured to be two, and the first switching valve 10 is configured as a six-way valve. Specifically, the two channels 30 are the first channel 310 and the second channel 320 respectively. The first switching valve 10 has ports A3, B3, C3, D3, E3, and F3. The mass spectrometer 20 is connected to port A3, the first channel 310 is connected to port B3, and the second channel 320 is connected to port F3. Among them, the first switching valve 10 has state one and state two. When the first switching valve 10 is in state one, port A3 is connected to port F3, port B3 is connected to port C3, and port D3 is connected to port E3. When the first switching valve 10 is in state two, port A3 is connected to port B3, port C3 is connected to port D3, and port E3 is connected to port F3. It can be understood that when the first switching valve 10 is in state one, the second channel 320 is connected to the mass spectrometer 20; when the first switching valve 10 is in state two, the first channel 310 is connected to the mass spectrometer 20.
[0040] Among them, the F1 port of the first channel 310 is connected to port B3, the F1 port of the second channel 320 is connected to port F3, and the C1 port and the E1 port are respectively connected to the waste liquid pool 60.
[0041] However, it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the number of channels 30 may also be three, four, or five, etc., and the first switching valve 10 is configured as a corresponding multi-way valve or a combination of multi-way valves.

At this time, the flow path of the sample is: the second end 302 - the first end 301 - port C3 - port D3 - the syringe 315.

At this time, the flow path of the solvent is as follows: from the B3 port of the solvent pump 312, through the C3 port, to the first end 301, and then into the sampler 311. Then, it pushes the sample along the second end 302, through the inlet 304, the outlet 305, the F3 port, the A2 port, the C2 port, into the chromatographic separation module 32, through the F2 port, the B1 port, the A1 port, and then to the mass spectrometer 20.

At this time, the flow path of the sample is as follows: from the second end 302, through the first end 301, the C3 port, the D3 port, and then to the syringe 315. The flow path of the solvent is as follows: from the B3 port of the solvent pump 312, through the A3 port, the C2 port, into the chromatographic separation module 32, through the F2 port, the F1 port, the E1 port, and then to the waste liquid pool 60.

At this time, the flow path of the solvent is as follows: from the B3 port of the solvent pump 312, through the C3 port, to the first end 301, and then into the sampler 311. Then, it pushes the sample along the second end 302, through the inlet 304, the outlet 305, the F3 port, the A2 port, the C2 port, into the chromatographic separation module 32, through the F2 port, the F1 port, the A1 port, and then to the mass spectrometer 20.
[0047] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.
[0048] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
