Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of chemiluminescence detection, and more particularly to chemiluminescence analyzers. Background Art
[0002] Chemiluminescence Immunoassay (CLIA) is an immunoassay technique that combines a chemiluminescence system with an immune reaction for detecting antigens, antibodies, hormones, fatty acids, vitamins, drugs, etc. Chemiluminescence refers to the phenomenon that during a chemical reaction, a specific substance absorbs part of the chemical energy to reach an excited state, and the energy released during the return to the ground state is released in the form of photons, thereby generating luminescence. Chemiluminescence immunoassay has both the high sensitivity of chemiluminescence and the characteristics of simple operation and rapid reaction of enzyme-linked immunoassay, and is easy to standardize experimental operations. It has now been widely used in biological, medical research and clinical diagnosis.
[0003] However, for chemiluminescence analyzers based on chemiluminescence immunoassay, it is difficult to balance both detection sensitivity and linear detection range, especially for analytes with a large range span, such as human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG).
[0004] Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a glycoprotein mainly secreted by placental trophoblast cells. HCG consists of an α subunit and a β subunit, contains 237 amino acids, and has a molecular weight of about 38,000 daltons. Each subunit consists of a single polypeptide. Among them, the α subunit consists of 92 amino acids and has a molecular weight of about 14,900 daltons; the β subunit consists of 145 amino acids and has a molecular weight of about 23,000 daltons. In the HCG structure, the protein content accounts for 70%, and the sugar content accounts for 30%.
[0005] HCG can exist in urine, blood, and placenta, and the existence forms of HCG in each matrix are different. In blood, it mainly exists in the form of intact HCG. Among them, the α subunit has a similar structure to the α subunits of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and thyroid-stimulating hormone secreted by the pituitary gland; the structures of the β subunits are different, and the differences in the β subunits result in their respective immunological and biological specificities.
[0006] The main function of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is to stimulate the corpus luteum, which is beneficial for the continuous secretion of estrogen and progesterone, so as to promote the formation of the uterine decidua and make the placenta grow and mature. HCG is produced by trophoblast transitional cells and syncytiotrophoblasts and is regulated by multiple factors including autocrine and paracrine. For normal pregnant women, HCG will be produced 2 to 8 days after conception. In the early stage of pregnancy, the content of HCG doubles approximately every 31 - 48 hours until it reaches the peak around 11 weeks of gestation, and then the concentration slowly decreases until the 18th - 20th week, and then remains relatively constant. The detection of HCG is of great significance for the diagnosis of early pregnancy and pregnancy monitoring. In the early stage of pregnancy, a 35 - 50% increase in HCG within two days indicates a possible ectopic pregnancy. An abnormally low or abnormally sharp decline in HCG levels indicates a high risk of ectopic pregnancy. On the other hand, in the second trimester of pregnancy, an increase in HCG levels indicates an adverse reaction during pregnancy, which may be pregnancy-induced hypertension, fetal growth restriction, etc.
[0007] The concentration distribution of HCG is relatively wide among non-pregnant, pregnant, and trophoblastic cell disease populations in normal women: For pregnant populations, their HCG can increase from several hundred mIU / mL in early pregnancy to about 200,000 mIU / mL at most, and then decrease to a level within about 10,000 mIU / mL; For patients with trophoblastic cell diseases (including choriocarcinoma), their HCG concentration can be as high as 1,000,000 mIU / mL or even higher; For non-pregnant women, their HCG concentration is usually below 5 mIU / mL, and even some are as low as 0.5 mIU / mL.
[0008] That is to say, HCG is secreted by placental trophoblast cells and has a very low content in non-pregnant populations, less than 5 mIU / ml. Therefore, high detection sensitivity is the key performance to ensure the use of HCG test results in clinical practice to assist in judging pregnancy or not. At the same time, in the pregnancy monitoring scenario, it is necessary to continuously measure the HCG concentration in the early stage of pregnancy (about 200,000 mIU / ml). Therefore, a wide linear detection range is the key performance to ensure the use of HCG test results in clinical practice for pregnancy status monitoring.
[0009] Therefore, for chemiluminescence analyzers, in the HCG detection scenario, the linear range that needs to be accurately detected spans 6 - 7 orders of magnitude. However, the current linear detection upper limit that chemiluminescence analyzers and their supporting reagents can achieve is at most not greater than 15,000 mIU / mL, far from covering the routine pregnancy test scenario. Summary of the Invention

[0082] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0083] It should be noted that the terms "first / second / third" involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific order for the objects. It can be understood that "first / second / third" can be interchanged with a specific order or sequence when permitted.
[0084] Those skilled in the art of the present technology can understand that, unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical terms and scientific terms) used here have the same meaning as the general understanding of those of ordinary skill in the art in the field to which the present disclosure belongs.
[0085] As mentioned in the background art, the HCG detection item has relatively high requirements for the upper limit of linear detection. However, the existing technology cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of high linear detection upper limit and high detection sensitivity, and often needs to be diluted and retested to obtain accurate HCG concentration.
[0086] Based on this, the embodiments of the present disclosure propose a technical solution that can accurately and efficiently obtain the HCG test result without increasing the cost.
[0087] As Figure 1 shown, a chemiluminescence analyzer 100 is proposed in the first aspect of the present disclosure, including a sample preparation device 110, a substrate providing device 120, a photometric device 130, and a data processing device 140.
[0088] The sample preparation device 110 is at least used for a blood sample to be tested with the detection item of human chorionic gonadotropin detection item. Before the human chorionic gonadotropin detection is performed on the blood sample to be tested, the blood sample to be tested is pre-diluted with a diluent at a preset dilution ratio, and the pre-diluted blood sample to be tested is mixed with a reaction reagent in a reaction container, so that the human chorionic gonadotropin in the pre-diluted blood sample to be tested reacts with the reaction reagent to obtain a sample solution to be tested. The reaction reagent includes a capture reagent coated with a human chorionic gonadotropin antibody and a detection reagent of a human chorionic gonadotropin antibody with a label. In some embodiments, the capture reagent can be a magnetic bead reagent for capturing the substance to be tested, and the detection reagent with a label can be a detection reagent with an enzyme label, such as alkaline phosphatase.
[0089] The substrate providing device 120 is used to provide a luminescent substrate into the reaction container filled with the sample solution to be tested, so that the label in the sample solution to be tested undergoes a chemiluminescence reaction with the luminescent substrate;
[0090] The photometric device 130 at least includes a photometer, and the photometer is used to detect the luminescence signal generated in the chemiluminescence reaction. The first linear detection range of the photometer is [A1, A2] photon counts per second. The first linear detection range represents the range of the number of photons output by the photometer. Within this first linear detection range, the intensity of the luminescence signal generated in the chemiluminescence reaction is linearly related to the photon count output by the photometer, where A1 is less than or equal to 2000 and A2 is greater than or equal to 10 8 .
[0091] The data processing device 140 is used to obtain the test result of the human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood sample to be tested according to the luminescence signal and a preset calibration model.
[0092] The photometer is designed in such a way that a chemiluminescence analyzer with a wide linear detection range can be obtained. In addition, by pre-diluting the sample, for example, by a factor of 2, 5, or 10, the HCG test result can be accurately obtained in one test. There is no need to pre-screen the sample in advance and determine whether to apply a dilution test or a non-dilution test, which can largely avoid unnecessary retesting, reduce the retest rate of samples with high HCG concentrations, thereby improving the overall detection efficiency of the chemiluminescence analyzer for HCG detection and reducing the detection cost.
[0093] In particular, the chemiluminescence analyzer according to the present disclosure can accurately and linearly detect HCG as low as 0.5 mIU / ml and as high as 200,000 mIU / ml without the need for dilution and retesting. That is to say, it can accurately obtain HCG with a concentration between 0.5 and 200,000 mIU / ml through one test, meeting the main requirements of clinical use of HCG for assisting in judging pregnancy and monitoring pregnancy status, avoiding re-dilution and retesting when the HCG concentration in the sample exceeds the detection upper limit, greatly improving the work efficiency of the laboratory department and saving costs. As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, for the HCG detection item, within the HCG concentration range of 0.5 to 200,000 mIU / ml, the calibration model, or rather the calibration curve, has good linearity in the low HCG concentration range and also has good linearity throughout the entire HCG concentration range.
[0094] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the linear detection range refers to the linear detection range of a single detection, that is, the linear detection range that can be achieved in one detection of a sample.
[0095] Figure 4 The structure diagram of a chemiluminescence analyzer 100 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is shown. As Figure 4 shown, the sample preparation device 110 includes a sample supply unit 111, a reagent supply unit 112, and a reaction incubation unit 113. The sample supply unit 111 is configured to aspirate a blood sample to be tested and supply it to a reaction container. The reagent supply unit 112 is configured to capture a reagent and a detection reagent with a marker and supply them to the reaction container. The reaction incubation unit 113 is configured to provide a place for reaction and incubation for the reaction container containing the blood sample to be tested and the reaction reagent, so that the blood sample to be tested and the reaction reagent in the reaction container form a sample solution to be tested.
[0096] The chemiluminescence analyzer 100 further includes a magnetic separation device 140 and a transfer device 150. The magnetic separation device 140 is configured to perform a magnetic separation operation on a reaction vessel containing a sample liquid to be tested. A substrate supply device 120 (not shown) is configured to supply a luminescent substrate into the reaction vessel that has completed the magnetic separation operation. The transfer device 150 is configured to transfer the reaction vessel that has completed the magnetic separation operation from the magnetic separation device 140 to the reaction incubation section 113. The incubated reaction vessel is transferred to the photometric device 130 for photometry.
[0097] In some embodiments, the chemiluminescence analyzer 100 further includes a sample processing system (not shown) for transporting a test tube containing a blood sample to be tested to a sampling position and transporting the test tube after sampling to a recovery area. Specifically, the sample processing system includes a sample loading area and a transport track. The sample loading area is used to store test tubes containing blood samples to be tested placed by the user, and the transport track is used to transport the test tubes in the sample loading area to the sampling position.
[0098] In addition, the sample processing system further includes a scanning module for scanning the sample barcode to achieve sample identification and management.
[0099] In some embodiments, the sample supply unit 111 may include a sample needle and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is used to drive the sample needle to move between the sampling position and the sample adding position. The sample needle samples the sample in the sample tube located at the sampling position and injects the aspirated sample into the reaction vessel located at the sample adding position. Here, the sampling position is, for example, the intersection of the movement trajectory of the sample needle and the sample transport trajectory of the transport track.
[0100] In addition, the sample supply unit 111 further includes a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the sample needle. Further, the sample supply unit 111 further includes a dilution position for placing the reaction vessel that has completed automatic dilution and pretreatment, so that the sample needle can aspirate the diluted sample or the pretreated sample in the reaction vessel located at the dilution position to support the corresponding test mode.
[0101] In some embodiments, the chemiluminescence analyzer further includes a first robotic arm 160 for transferring reaction vessels. The first robotic arm is configured to be capable of three-dimensional movement and can grip the reaction vessel. The first robotic arm is configured to load a new reaction vessel into the sample adding position so that the sample needle can inject the sample. The first robotic arm is also configured to discard the empty reaction cup. The first robotic arm is further configured to transfer the reaction vessel between the sample adding position, the reaction incubation section 113, and the dilution position.
[0102] In some embodiments, the reagent supply unit 112 includes a reagent tray 114 and a reagent needle 115. The reagent tray 114 is used to place reagent bottles containing capture reagents and detection reagents with markers and has the function of refrigerating the reagent bottles. The reagent tray 114 is configured to be rotatable so as to transfer the reagent bottles that need to aspirate reagents to the reagent aspiration position. The reagent needle 115 is used to aspirate reagents from the reagent bottles located at the reagent aspiration position and discharge the aspirated reagents into the reaction vessels located at the sample addition position.
[0103] Further, the reagent tray has a mixing mechanism (not shown) for mixing magnetic bead reagents. This mixing mechanism realizes the mixing of capture reagents, for example, by rotating the reagent bottles containing capture reagents such as magnetic bead reagents.
[0104] Further, the reagent supply unit 112 also includes a cleaning mechanism (not shown) for cleaning the reagent needle.
[0105] In some embodiments, the magnetic separation device 140 has a disk-shaped rotatable magnetic separation disk, a magnetic mechanism, and a temperature control mechanism. The magnetic separation disk is used to drive the reaction vessels therein to sequentially pass through the magnetic mechanism for magnetic separation operations, and the temperature control mechanism is used to maintain the temperature of the magnetic separation disk within a preset range.
[0106] In some embodiments, the substrate providing device has a heating mechanism for preheating the luminescent substrate. The substrate providing device is used to inject the preheated luminescent substrate into the reaction vessels that have completed magnetic separation and are located at the substrate injection position, where the substrate injection position is located on the magnetic separation disk.
[0107] In some embodiments, the reaction incubation unit 113 includes a disk-shaped rotatable reaction disk. The photometric device 130 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the reaction disk. The reaction vessels after injecting the luminescent substrate are transported into the reaction disk by the transport device 150. The reaction disk drives the reaction vessels that have been incubated for a certain time into the photometric device 130 to complete photometric measurement.
[0108] In some embodiments, the transport device 150 is configured as a second manipulator, which is used to clamp the reaction vessels and transport the reaction vessels between the reaction disk and the magnetic separation disk. This second manipulator is configured to be able to rotate horizontally and perform two-dimensional up-and-down movement.
[0109] In some embodiments, the chemiluminescence analyzer may further include a mixer 170 arranged between the reaction disk and the magnetic separation disk. This mixer is configured to perform a mixing operation on the reaction vessels that have already added reagents and samples. For example, this mixer can be configured as a vortex mixer that realizes non-contact mixing, which can effectively avoid cross-contamination.
[0110] In addition, the chemiluminescence analyzer may further include a hardware control system (not shown) and software systems running on a hardware board and a PC respectively, so as to control the above-mentioned various devices of the chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer to work in coordination. The chemiluminescence analyzer may further include a mechanical system (not shown) composed of a frame, a front shell, etc., so as to provide support, positioning and protection for the above-mentioned various devices.
[0111] In some embodiments, the data processing device 140 includes, but is not limited to, a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Micro Controller Unit (MCU), a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), etc., which are used to interpret computer instructions and process data in computer software. For example, the data processing device is used to execute each computer application program in the computer-readable storage medium, so that the chemiluminescence analyzer 100 executes the corresponding detection process and analyzes in real time the luminescence signal detected by the photometric device 130.
[0112] A specific detection process of the chemiluminescence analyzer is as follows: the sample supply unit 111 aspirates the blood sample to be tested and adds it to the reaction container; the reagent supply unit 112 aspirates the capture reagent and the detection reagent and adds them to the reaction container containing the sample, so as to mix with the sample; then the reaction container is placed in the reaction incubation unit 113 for reaction, incubation and magnetic separation cleaning; then the substrate providing device adds the luminescent substrate to the reaction cup that has completed the reaction, incubation and magnetic separation cleaning, and incubates for a period of time; finally, the photometric device 130 detects the photons emitted by the analyte in the sample to be tested under the action of the luminescent substrate, so as to calculate the concentration level of the analyte through the measured number of photons.
[0113] In some embodiments, the preset dilution ratio includes 2 to 20 times. This can improve the applicability to samples with different concentrations. In other words, for samples with a wide range of HCG concentrations, the HCG detection results can be obtained more accurately, improving the ability of the chemiluminescence analyzer for HCG detection.
[0114] In some embodiments, the calibration model is obtained by the chemiluminescence analyzer using pre-diluted calibration products. Here, calibration is performed using pre-diluted calibration products, that is, the pre-diluted calibration products are directly traced to the reference substance, and a gradient concentration response curve of the pre-diluted calibration products is established, so as to eliminate systematic errors caused by random deviations and matrix effects during the dilution process itself, and improve the accuracy of the measurement results.
[0115] In some embodiments, the pre-dilution multiple of the blood sample to be tested is equal to that of the calibrator. In this way, the matching degree between the calibration model and the actual test result can be improved, and thus the actual content of HCG in the blood sample to be tested can be obtained more accurately.
[0116] In some embodiments, the diluent, the capture reagent, and the detection reagent are placed in a common kit. The kit includes a carrier and a first cavity, a second cavity, and a third cavity opened on the carrier. The first cavity is used to accommodate the diluent, the second cavity is used to accommodate the capture reagent, and the third cavity is used to accommodate the detection reagent.
[0117] Thus, the following many benefits can be achieved:
[0118] a) Automatic in-machine operation for HCG dilution;
[0119] b) The manufacturer provides the diluent, which can ensure the accuracy of the measured value of HCG dilution and avoid poor test results caused by customers preparing the diluent by themselves;
[0120] c) Saving reagent storage space and improving the utilization efficiency of reagent positions;
[0121] d) Saving test costs, and customers do not need to separately inventory and purchase the diluent, which provides great convenience to customers.
[0122] In some embodiments, the calibration model or the calibration curve is obtained by multi-point calibration.
[0123] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the multi-point calibration method may be: using a series of samples (greater than or equal to 5 samples) pre-assigned by the supplier of the chemiluminescence analyzer, measuring the luminescence signal values of this series of samples on the chemiluminescence analyzer, establishing a curve of sample concentration and luminescence signal, and performing 4PLC fitting regression on the curve to obtain a fitting equation, that is, the calibration model.
[0124] It can be understood that the luminescence signal value measured for the blood sample to be tested on the chemiluminescence analyzer is substituted into the calibration model to calculate the concentration of the substance to be tested in the blood sample to be tested.
[0125] In some embodiments, the calibration model is obtained by the following formula
[0126]
[0127] wherein, RLU is the reactivity, that is, the measured luminescence signal value, C is the concentration of the substance to be measured, P1 to P4 are 4 fitting parameters. Among them, P1 represents the luminescence signal corresponding to zero concentration (asymptote), P4 represents the luminescence signal corresponding to the maximum concentration (asymptote), P2 represents the inflection point where the slope direction of the curve changes, and P3 reflects the slope at P2 (non-real slope).
[0128] It can be understood here that the 4PLC calibration model uses at least 5 (number of fitting parameters + 1) points for 4PLC regression, and obtains the optimal solution through a numerical iteration process to obtain four fitting parameters P1, P2, P3, and P4.
[0129] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the calibration model is recalibrated when the reagent batch is changed, or the calibration model is recalibrated at fixed intervals of days, or the calibration model is recalibrated when the instrument quality control gets out of control.
[0130] In some embodiments, the ratio A2 / A1 of A2 to A1 is greater than or equal to 30000.
[0131] In some embodiments, the second linear detection range of the chemiluminescent substrate is [B1, B2] photon counts per second. The second linear detection range represents the range of the intensity of the luminescence signal generated in the chemiluminescent reaction. Within this second linear detection range, the number of markers participating in the chemiluminescent reaction is linearly related to the intensity of the luminescence signal generated in the chemiluminescent reaction, where B1 is less than or equal to 3000 and B2 is greater than or equal to 10 8 , and / or the ratio B2 / B1 of B2 to B1 is greater than or equal to 30000.
[0132] Here, by designing the photometer and the chemiluminescent substrate in this way, a chemiluminescent analyzer with a wide linear detection range can be obtained. In particular, a chemiluminescent analyzer with a linear detection range of at least [3000, 10 8 photon counts per second can be obtained.
[0133] In some embodiments, the lower limit B1 of the second linear detection range is less than or equal to 2000. Thereby, the sensitivity of the chemiluminescent analyzer can be further improved, and thus the linear detection range of a single detection of the chemiluminescent analyzer can be further broadened.
[0134] In some embodiments, the chemiluminescent analyzer 100 can be designed such that when the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood sample to be tested is greater than or equal to 200000 mIU / ml, the intensity of the luminescence signal generated in the chemiluminescent reaction is less than or equal to the smaller value of A2 and B2. Thereby, HCG with a relatively high concentration can be detected more accurately.
[0135] For example, the chemiluminescence analyzer 100 can be designed such that when the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood sample to be tested is 200,000 mIU / ml, the intensity of the luminescence signal generated in the chemiluminescence reaction is less than or equal to the smaller value of A2 and B2. Thus, accurate detection of HCG concentrations up to 200,000 mIU / ml can be achieved.
[0136] In some embodiments, the chemiluminescence analyzer 100 can be designed such that when the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood sample to be tested is greater than or equal to 0.5 mIU / ml, the intensity C1 of the luminescence signal generated in the chemiluminescence reaction is greater than or equal to the larger value of A1 and B1. Thus, relatively accurate detection of HCG at lower concentrations can be achieved.
[0137] For example, the chemiluminescence analyzer 100 can be designed such that when the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood sample to be tested is 0.5 mIU / ml, the intensity C1 of the luminescence signal generated in the chemiluminescence reaction is greater than or equal to the larger value of A1 and B1. Thus, accurate detection of HCG concentrations as low as 0.5 mIU / ml can be achieved.
[0138] Furthermore, the chemiluminescence analyzer 100 can be designed such that when the concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood sample to be tested is greater than 0.5 mIU / ml and less than or equal to 5 mIU / ml, preferably less than or equal to 2 mIU / ml, the intensity of the luminescence signal generated in the chemiluminescence reaction is C2, where the ratio C2 / C1 of C2 to C1 is greater than 2.
[0139] In some embodiments, the upper limit B2 of the second linear detection range is greater than the upper limit A2 of the first linear detection range.
[0140] Next, some embodiments of the luminescent substrate used in the chemiluminescence analyzer of the present disclosure will be described, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0141] In some embodiments, the luminescent substrate is designed such that the background of the luminescent substrate is less than 3000, thereby further improving the sensitivity of the chemiluminescence analyzer.
[0142] Alternatively or additionally, the luminescent substrate is designed such that the signal-to-noise ratio of the luminescent substrate is greater than 40,000. Thus, the sensitivity of the chemiluminescence analyzer can be further improved.
[0143] In some embodiments, the luminescent substrate includes a chemiluminescent substrate and a chemiluminescence enhancer. The chemiluminescence enhancer includes a fluorescent agent and a surfactant. The fluorescent agent includes one or more carboxyfluoresceins. Using such a luminescent substrate can achieve high sensitivity of the chemiluminescence analyzer.
[0144] As some implementations, the luminescent substrate is selected from dioxetane compounds, preferably one or more selected from AMPPD, CSPD, CDP-STAR, and more preferably CDP-STAR.
[0145] As some implementations, the luminescent substrate is selected from chlorinated derivatives of AMPPD, fluorescein or its carboxyl-substituted derivatives, and water-soluble polymer quaternary ammonium salt-type cationic surfactants.
[0146] The chlorinated derivative of AMPPD may be, for example, ADP-STAR or CDP-STAR. Alternatively, the fluorescein or its carboxyl substituted derivative may be, for example, fluorescein or 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. Alternatively, the water-soluble polymer quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant may be, for example, polyvinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride.
[0147] In some embodiments, the substrate providing device is used to provide a chemiluminescent substrate liquid containing a luminescent substrate or a chemiluminescent substrate, wherein the chemiluminescent substrate liquid includes a chemiluminescent substrate, fluorescein and a water-soluble polymer quaternary ammonium salt, wherein the chemiluminescent substrate is selected from chlorinated dioxetane compounds having a spiro-adamantane substituent.
[0148] Chemiluminescent substrates refer to compounds that participate in energy transfer in chemiluminescent reactions and ultimately release energy in the form of emitted photons. They are also called chemiluminescent agents or luminescent substrates. Dioxetane compounds are enzymatic glow-type chemiluminescent substrates and are a class of ultra-sensitive alkaline phosphatase (AP) substrates. In a suitable buffer, with the catalytic hydrolysis of alkaline phosphatase, the signal emitted by the decomposition of dioxetane compounds can last for more than 20 hours, making them ideal chemiluminescent substances.
[0149] The inventors have found that a chlorinated dioxetane compound having a spiro-adamantane substituent is combined with a specific chemiluminescence enhancer, such as fluorescein or its carboxylic acid derivative, in the presence of a water-soluble polymer quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant, to obtain a chemiluminescent substrate solution with a ratio of the number of photons generated per second of the upper detection limit to the lower detection limit of more than 30,000, or even more than 50,000, so that it can be conveniently used in samples such as HCG with a concentration range of up to 10 5 ~10 6 Order of magnitude immunoassay.
[0150] The "dioxetanes having spiro-adamantane substituents" mentioned herein refer to a class of compounds based on the following structure:
[0151]
[0152] For example, it includes the following compounds, but is not limited to:
[0153] AMPPD - (3-(2'-spiroadamantane)-4-methoxy-4-(3"-phosphoryloxy)-phenyl-1,2-dioxetane, CAS = 122341-56-4),
[0154] CSPD - (3-(2'-(spiro-5-chloroadamantane))-4-methoxy-4-(3"-phosphoryloxy)-phenyl-1,2-dioxetane, CAS = 142456-88-0),
[0155] ADP-STAR - (3-(2'-spiroadamantane)-4-methoxy-4-(3"-phosphoryloxy-4"-chloro)-phenyl-1,2-dioxetane, CAS = 189942-84-5),
[0156] CDP-STA - (3-(2'-(spiro-5-chloroadamantane))-4-methoxy-4-(3"-phosphoryloxy-4"-chloro)-phenyl-1,2-dioxetane, CAS = 160081-62-9),
[0157] TFE-AMPPD - (3-(2'-spiroadamantane)-4-trifluoroethoxy-4-(3"-phosphoryloxy)-phenyl-1,2-dioxetane).
[0158] The "chlorinated dioxetane compounds with spiro-adamantane substituents" mentioned in this article refer to those containing at least one chlorine atom in the structure of AMPPD.
[0159] In some embodiments, the chlorinated dioxetane compounds with spiro-adamantane substituents are one of ADP-STAR and CDP-STAR.
[0160]
[0161] In a specific embodiment, in the chemiluminescent substrate solution, the chemiluminescent substrate may exist in the form of a salt of the above compounds. According to some embodiments, the salt may be an alkali metal salt, such as sodium salt.
[0162] These dioxetane compounds with chloro groups, especially ADP-STAR and CDP-STAR, when combined with fluorescein or its carboxyl derivatives and water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium salts in an alkaline phosphatase catalytic system, unexpectedly can provide a sufficiently low sensitivity while maintaining linearity within a relatively high luminescence value range.
[0163] Fluorescent agents and surfactants can improve the efficiency of chemiluminescence. Among them, surfactants form micelles in solution to protect chemiluminescent substrates, thereby reducing the quenching reaction of chemiluminescent substrates in aqueous solutions. Fluorescent agents, as photon acceptors, receive the photon energy in the system through energy transfer effects and are excited to generate optical signals, thus enhancing the luminescence efficiency.
[0164] The fluorescent agent in the chemiluminescent substrate solution of the present disclosure is at least one of fluorescein and carboxyl-substituted fluorescein.
[0165] The carboxyl-substituted fluorescein includes compounds selected from those shown in General Formula I:
[0166]
[0167] Specifically, the carboxyfluorescein shown in General Formula I can be 5-carboxyfluorescein, 6-carboxyfluorescein, or 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. Among them,
[0168] The 5-carboxyfluorescein is
[0169]
[0170] The 6-carboxyfluorescein is
[0171]
[0172] The 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein is a mixture of the 5-carboxyfluorescein and the 6-carboxyfluorescein in any ratio.
[0173] In the chemiluminescent substrate solution, the fluorescent agent is fluorescein. In other embodiments, the fluorescent agent can be any carboxyl-substituted fluorescein, especially one of 5-carboxyfluorescein, 6-carboxyfluorescein, and 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein.
[0174] Fluorescein and its carboxyl derivatives can improve the chemiluminescence efficiency of the chemiluminescent system. In addition to effectively improving the chemiluminescence efficiency of the chemiluminescent system, the above-mentioned carboxyl derivatives can also reduce the time required to reach the plateau period and improve the sensitivity.
[0175] In the chemiluminescent substrate solution, the surfactant is a water-soluble polymer quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant. According to one embodiment, the water-soluble polymer quaternary ammonium salt is selected from quaternary ammonium salts containing vinyl groups. Such quaternary ammonium salts are, for example, vinylbenzyl-trialkylammonium halides. The three alkyl groups substituted on the N atom can be the same or different, and can be independently selected from, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, benzyl, etc. In a specific embodiment, the water-soluble polymer quaternary ammonium salt is selected from at least one of vinylbenzyl-trimethylammonium chloride, vinylbenzyl-benzyldimethylammonium chloride, and vinylbenzyl-tributylammonium chloride.
[0176] The water-soluble polymer quaternary ammonium salt cationic surfactant can also form micelles in an aqueous solution. The chemiluminescent substrate is inside the hydrophobic micelles, and the fluorescent agent is in the hydrophilic part outside the micelles, which is more conducive to the chemiluminescent substrate transferring energy to the fluorescent agent to enhance the light signal. Compared with small molecule quaternary ammonium salts, due to the longer alkane chain of the polymer quaternary ammonium salt, it can more effectively prevent the chemiluminescent substrate from quenching in an aqueous solution. In addition, the polymer quaternary ammonium salt can also suppress the background signal and improve the detection signal. Under the same conditions, the small molecule quaternary ammonium salt has a high background signal value and a low detection signal, and cannot achieve a wide linear detection range.
[0177] In a specific embodiment, the chemiluminescent substrate solution includes ADP-STAR or CDP-STAR as the chemiluminescent substrate, fluorescein, and a water-soluble polymer quaternary ammonium salt.
[0178] In another specific embodiment, the chemiluminescent substrate solution includes ADP-STAR, fluorescein or carboxyl-substituted fluorescein as the fluorescent agent, and a water-soluble polymer quaternary ammonium salt.
[0179] The specific combination of the above chemiluminescent substrate, fluorescent agent, and surfactant provides a chemiluminescent substrate solution with a wide linear luminescence value. The chemiluminescent substrate solution can obtain a linear detection range with a lower limit B1 of less than 3,000 photon counts per second and an upper limit B2 of more than 100,000,000 (100M) photon counts per second in the alkaline phosphatase system. Exemplarily, the chemiluminescent substrate solution can obtain a linear detection range with a lower limit B1 of 1,000 - 3,000 photon counts per second and an upper limit B2 of 100,000,000 (100M) - 200,000,000 (200M) photon counts per second in the alkaline phosphatase system. As shown in the following examples, the chemiluminescent substrate solution can obtain a background luminescence value of 1,000 - 2,000 photon counts per second and a linear detection range with an upper limit B2 of 120,000,000 (120M) - 200,000,000 (200M) photon counts per second in the alkaline phosphatase system. It should be understood that the above lower limit range and upper limit range are only exemplary, and by adjusting the detection device or signal processing method, etc., a lower lower limit of photon counts per second or a higher upper limit of photon counts per second can be obtained.
[0180] In some embodiments, the ratio of the number of photons generated per second of the upper detection limit B2 to the lower detection limit B1 of the chemiluminescent substrate solution is more than 30,000, for example, more than 50,000, and even more than 60,000. In some embodiments, the ratio of the number of photons generated per second of the upper detection limit B2 to the lower detection limit B1 of the chemiluminescent substrate solution is less than 1,000,000, for example, less than 800,000, 600,000, 500,000, and even less than 400,000. Exemplarily, the ratio of the number of photons generated per second of the upper detection limit B2 to the lower detection limit B1 of the chemiluminescent substrate solution is 30,000 - 1,000,000, 30,000 - 800,000, 30,000 - 500,000, 50,000 - 1,000,000, 50,000 - 800,000, 50,000 - 500,000, etc.

Preferably, the chemiluminescent substrate solution includes 150 - 250 mg / L of the chemiluminescent substrate, and more preferably, it includes 200 mg / L of the chemiluminescent substrate.

[0183] In some embodiments, the chemiluminescent substrate solution comprises 1 to 10 g / L of a water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium salt. Preferably, the chemiluminescent substrate solution comprises 3 to 7 g / L of a water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium salt, and more preferably, 5 g / L of a water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium salt. Exemplarily, the chemiluminescent substrate solution comprises 3 g / L, 4 g / L, 5 g / L, 6 g / L, 7 g / L of a water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium salt.
[0184] In a specific embodiment, the chemiluminescent substrate solution comprises 50 - 500 mg / L, preferably 150 - 250 mg / L of ADP-STAR or CDP-STAR, 30 - 500 mg / L, preferably 150 - 250 mg / L of fluorescein, and 1 - 10 g / L, preferably 3 - 7 g / L of a water-soluble polymeric quaternary ammonium salt.

[0186] The chemiluminescent substrate solution further contains additives such as a buffer and a preservative.
[0187] The present disclosure does not particularly limit the type of buffer, and any buffer conventionally applicable can be used in the chemiluminescent substrate solution of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the buffer can be selected from Tris buffer, AMP buffer (AMP is 2 - amino - 2 - methylpropanol), AMPD buffer (AMPD is 2 - amino - 2 - methyl - 1,3 - propanediol), DEA buffer (DEA is diethanolamine), CHES buffer (CHES is 2 - (N - cyclohexylamino)ethanesulfonic acid), Mopso buffer, imidazole buffer, phosphate buffer, carbonate buffer, malic acid buffer, glycine buffer, but not limited thereto. Exemplarily, the buffer can be selected from at least one of Tris - HCl, AMP - HCl, AMPD - HCl, DEA - HCl, CHES - HCl, boric acid - NaOH, glycine - NaOH buffer systems. Preferably, the buffer solution is selected from the AMP - HCl buffer system. The AMP - HCl buffer system can play a better buffering role in the range of pH 9.0 - 10.0, and it is found that it is beneficial to the stability of chemiluminescent substrate molecules.
[0188] According to some embodiments, the pH of the buffer is 7.1 - 10.6, preferably about 9.0 - about 10.0, and particularly preferably about 9.5.
[0189] The present disclosure does not particularly limit the dosage of the buffer, which can be determined according to the selected buffer system.
[0190] The present disclosure does not particularly limit the type of preservative, and any preservative conventionally used in detection reagents can be used in the present disclosure.

[0191] The present disclosure does not particularly limit the dosage of the buffer, which can be determined according to the selected type of preservative.
[0192] In some embodiments, the chemiluminescent substrate solution may further include magnesium chloride. For example, it may include 0.1 - 2 mM of magnesium chloride.

[0196] According to some specific embodiments, the chemiluminescent substrate solution provided by the present disclosure reacts with alkaline phosphatase in the concentration range of 0.03 - 400 ng / mL, and the luminescence value shows good linearity (R2≥0.99). As shown in the examples, the background value of the chemiluminescent substrate solution can be as low as below 3,000 photon counts / second, and it can detect an ultra-low concentration of alkaline phosphatase as low as 10-19 mol / L, improving the detection sensitivity; at the same time, the detection value of the chemiluminescent substrate solution can be as high as above 100 M photon counts / second, such as 100 M - 200 M photon counts / second, 120 M - 200 M photon counts / second, showing a significantly wider linearity. Without additional dilution of the sample, the above chemiluminescent substrate solution can meet the detection of samples with high analyte concentrations.
[0197] The chemiluminescent substrate solution of the present disclosure is particularly suitable for detecting human chorionic gonadotropin HCG in a test sample.
[0198] HCG is a glycoprotein mainly secreted by placental trophoblast cells. Its content is very low in non-pregnant people, usually less than 3 mIU / ml, while during pregnancy, the HCG concentration can be as high as about 2,000,000 mIU / ml. Clinically, the HCG test results are used to assist in judging pregnancy. At the same time, the detection of HCG during pregnancy is also of great significance. As mentioned above, the chemiluminescent substrate solution of the present disclosure has a wide linear luminescence characteristic and is suitable for samples with a large variation range of analyte concentrations such as HCG.
[0199] According to some embodiments, the concentration range of HCG in the sample is 1 - 200,000 mIU / mL.
[0200] In some embodiments, the detection of HCG is by the double antibody sandwich method. According to specific embodiments, superparamagnetic microparticles coated with HCG antibody are used as the capture reagent in the detection, and an HCG antibody labeled with alkaline phosphatase is used as the label. In some embodiments, the HCG antibody is a monoclonal antibody.
[0201] The chemiluminescent substrate solution of the present disclosure combined with the double antibody sandwich method has high sensitivity and a wide linear detection range for HCG detection.
[0202] In the present disclosure, for the use of the chemiluminescent substrate solution in the immunoassay of HCG, there are no special restrictions on the specific forms and dosages of the corresponding immunoassay reagents such as HCG antibodies, specific capture reagents, alkaline phosphatase labels, etc., and any suitable reagents can be used.
[0203] The "sample" mentioned herein, unless otherwise specified, refers to a biological sample, which can be from a mammal, preferably a blood sample from a human, and more preferably a serum sample.
[0204] In some embodiments, the chemiluminescent detection method is performed using the above chemiluminescent substrate solution in the chemiluminescent analyzer of the embodiments of the present disclosure. The chemiluminescent detection method includes the following steps:
[0205] Mix the sample to be tested with the detection reagent, which includes a capture reagent that can bind to HCG and an alkaline phosphatase label, so as to obtain an alkaline phosphatase-labeled immune complex;
[0206] Mix the alkaline phosphatase-labeled immune complex with the chemiluminescent substrate solution in any of the above embodiments to obtain a mixed solution;
[0207] Measure the optical signal of the mixed solution and obtain the analysis result of the sample to be tested based on the optical signal. Next, some embodiments of the photometer of the chemiluminescent analyzer of the present disclosure are described, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
[0208] In some embodiments, such asFigure 5 As shown, the photometer includes a receiving component 10 and a processing component 20 that are electrically connected to each other.
[0209] The receiving component 10 is configured to receive the optical signal generated in the chemiluminescence reaction and convert the optical signal into a corresponding electrical signal. The receiving component 10 can be configured as, for example, a photomultiplier tube that converts a weak optical signal into an electrical signal.
[0210] The processing component 20 is configured to be electrically connected to the receiving component 10 to receive the electrical signal from the receiving component 10, and process the received electrical signal to obtain the number of photons. The processing component 20 includes a first photon counting module 21 and a second photon counting module 22. Among them, the first photon counting module 21 is configured to process the electrical signal using a first photon counting method to obtain a first photon counting result, while the second photon counting module 22 is configured to process the electrical signal using a second photon counting method different from the first photon counting method to obtain a second photon counting result. The processing component 20 is further configured to output the final photon counting result of the sample to be measured based on the first photon counting result and the second photon counting result and use it as the photon counting output by the photometer. This final photon counting result, that is, the photon counting output by the photometer, can subsequently be used to calculate the content of the substance to be measured in the sample to be measured.
[0211] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, two photon counting modules are used to perform photon counting simultaneously. Among them, the first photon counting module uses a first counting method for the weak light segment to obtain a first photon counting result, while the second photon counting module uses a second counting method for the strong light segment to obtain a second photon counting result. Finally, the first photon counting result and the second photon counting result are integrated and the final counting result is output. Thereby, the linear detection range of the photometer can be greatly expanded. In particular, it can be realized that the linear detection range of the photometer is expanded to at least [2000, 100 million (10 8 )] photon counts per second, and even expanded to [2000, 200 million (10 8 )] photon counts per second.
[0212] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the weak light segment can be understood as an optical signal with the number of photons per second not higher than a predetermined threshold, while the strong light segment can be understood as an optical signal with the number of photons per second higher than the predetermined threshold. For example, the predetermined threshold can be selected from any value between 20 million and 30 million photon counts per second, such as 20 million or 30 million photon counts per second. For example, the first counting method is a photon counting method for optical signals with no more than 30 million photon counts per second, and the second counting method is a photon counting method for optical signals with more than 30 million photon counts per second.
[0213] In some embodiments, the first counting method may be a pulse identification method for calculating photon counts by identifying electrical pulses caused by photons entering the receiving component, while the second counting method does not calculate photon counts by identifying electrical pulses caused by photons entering the receiving component, but estimates the number of photons by processing the electrical signal into a parameter that can characterize the number of photons in the optical signal (i.e., the number of electrical pulses caused by photons entering the receiving component).
[0214] Here, those skilled in the art can understand that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the pulse identification method can be understood as a method for calculating photon counts by identifying pulses in the electrical signal, that is, when the peak value of the pulse identified from the electrical signal is greater than the threshold, it is considered that a photon is identified.
[0215] In some embodiments, the first photon counting module 21 may be configured to detect the number of pulses of the electrical signal using the pulse identification method to obtain a first photon counting result, while the second photon counting module 22 may be configured to process the electrical signal to obtain a parameter characterizing the number of photons in the optical signal, and obtain, for example, calculate a second photon counting result according to the parameter characterizing the number of photons in the optical signal and a preset calibration function, where the calibration function represents the mapping relationship between the parameter characterizing the number of photons in the optical signal and the photon counting result.
[0216] In some embodiments, after obtaining the first photon counting result and the second photon counting result, the processing component 20 may be further configured:[[]]
[0217] When the first photon counting result is lower than the first threshold, use the first photon counting result as the final photon counting result, that is, the photon counting output by the photometer; and
[0218] When the first photon counting result is not lower than the first threshold, use the second photon counting result as the final photon counting result, that is, the photon counting output by the photometer.
[0219] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the first photon counting module 21 may include a level discrimination circuit 211, a shaping and frequency division circuit 212, and a first counting circuit 213 that are electrically connected to each other. The level discrimination circuit 211 is configured to convert the electrical signal into a square wave signal, the shaping and frequency division circuit 212 is configured to perform frequency division and shaping on the square wave signal, and the first counting circuit 213 is configured to count the signal output by the shaping and frequency division circuit 212, that is, identify the number of pulses, to obtain a first photon counting result. The first photon counting module 21 according to this example can achieve a linear detection range of 2000 to 30 million photon counts per second.
[0220] In some alternative embodiments, as Figure 7As shown, the first photon counting module 21 may include at least one first AD conversion circuit 214 and a first counting circuit 213 that are electrically connected to each other. The first AD conversion circuit 214 is configured to collect an electrical signal at a sampling frequency greater than 1 GHz / s and convert the collected electrical signal into a digital signal for output to the first counting circuit 213. The first counting circuit 213 is configured to analyze the received digital signal to identify and receive the number of pulses, thereby obtaining a first photon counting result. Thus, through high-speed sampling at a sampling frequency of 1 GHz / s, the first counting circuit 213 can more accurately identify the number of pulses in the electrical signal, and thus obtain a more accurate first photon counting result. Compared with Figure 6 the embodiment shown, the first photon counting module 21 according to this embodiment can achieve a linear detection range of 2000 to 80 million photon counts per second.
[0221] In Figure 7 some variant embodiments of the embodiment shown, the first AD conversion circuit may be configured to collect an electrical signal at a sampling frequency not less than 2 GHz / s. This can further broaden the linear detection range of the first photon counting module 21.
[0222] In Figure 7 some variant embodiments of the embodiment shown, the first photon counting module 21 may include at least two, especially at least four, first AD conversion circuits 214. The sum of the sampling frequencies of each first AD conversion circuit is not less than 1 GHz / s, and each first AD conversion circuit collects the electrical signal by means of asynchronous sampling at a preset interval time. By using multiple first AD conversion circuits to achieve a sampling frequency not less than 1 GHz / s, the performance requirements for a single AD conversion circuit can be reduced, thereby reducing costs.
[0223] Preferably, these first AD conversion circuits 214 have the same sampling frequency, and each first AD conversion circuit collects the electrical signal by means of asynchronous sampling at equal time intervals.
[0224] Correspondingly, the first counting circuit 213 may be configured to rearrange and combine the data collected by the above-mentioned multiple first AD conversion circuits 214, perform filtering processing, and then perform pulse identification on the filtered signal to obtain a first photon counting result.
[0225] Furthermore, the first counting circuit 213 may also be configured to correct the first photon counting result through a Poisson distribution compensation algorithm. This can obtain a more accurate photon counting result.
[0226] In some embodiments, the first counting circuit 213 may include an FPGA chip and its peripheral circuits.
[0227] In some embodiments, the second photon counting module 22 may be configured to process the electrical signal, for example, through integration processing to obtain a DC component signal, and the parameter characterizing the number of photons in the optical signal includes a parameter related to the DC component signal, such as the DC component signal itself per unit time. The second photon counting module 22 is further configured to obtain a second photon counting result according to the parameter related to the DC component signal and a preset calibration function.
[0228] Alternatively or additionally, the second photon counting module 22 is configured to integrate the electrical signal within a predetermined time period to obtain an integration result, such as a DC component signal, and the parameter characterizing the number of photons in the optical signal includes a parameter related to the integration result, such as the integration result per unit time. The second photon counting module 22 is further configured to obtain a second photon counting result according to the parameter related to the integration result and a preset calibration function.
[0229] In a specific example, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the second photon counting module 22 includes an integration circuit 221 and a second counting circuit 222 that are electrically connected to each other. The integration circuit 221 is configured to integrate the electrical signal within a predetermined time period to obtain a DC component signal, and the parameter characterizing the number of photons in the optical signal includes a parameter related to the DC component signal. The second counting circuit 222 is configured to obtain a second photon counting result according to the parameter related to the DC component signal and a preset calibration function.
[0230] Further, as Figure 10 shown, an AD conversion circuit 224 is further provided between the integration circuit 221 and the second counting circuit 222, and the AD conversion circuit 224 is configured to convert the DC component signal output by the integration circuit 221 into a digital signal. The sampling frequency of the AD conversion circuit 224 may be set to be less than 1 MHz / s, for example, several hundred kHz / s.
[0231] In some embodiments, the second counting circuit 222 may include an FPGA chip and its peripheral circuits.
[0232] Preferably, as Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, the first counting circuit 213 and the second counting circuit 222 are the same counting circuit, and the same counting circuit includes, for example, an FPGA chip. That is, the counting functions of the first photon counting module 21 and the second photon counting module 22 are integrated in the same FPGA chip. That is, on the one hand, the FPGA chip is configured to count the signal output by the shaping and frequency division circuit 212 to obtain a first photon counting result ( Figure 11) or analyze the digital signal collected by the first AD conversion circuit 214 to obtain a first photon counting result. Figure 12 ) On the other hand, it is configured to obtain a second photon counting result according to the parameter characterizing the number of photons in the optical signal and a preset calibration function.
[0233] In another alternative example, as Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown, the second photon counting module includes a second AD conversion circuit 223 and a second counting circuit 222 that are electrically connected to each other. The second AD conversion circuit is configured to convert the electrical signal output by the receiving component 10 into a digital signal, and the second counting circuit is configured to process the digital signal to obtain a parameter characterizing the number of photons in the optical signal, and obtain a second photon counting result according to the parameter characterizing the number of photons in the optical signal and a preset calibration function.
[0234] Here, a second AD conversion circuit 223 with a sampling frequency less than 10 MHz / s can be adopted. In some embodiments, the sampling frequency of the second AD conversion circuit 223 can be in the range of 1 MHz / s to 10 MHz / s, for example, 1, 2, or 3 MHz / s.
[0235] Preferably, as Figure 15 shown, the first counting circuit 213 and the second counting circuit 222 are the same counting circuit, and this same counting circuit includes, for example, an FPGA chip. That is to say, the counting functions of the first photon counting module 21 and the second photon counting module 22 are integrated in the same chip.
[0236] Equally preferably, as Figure 15 shown, the first AD conversion circuit 214 serves as the second AD conversion circuit 223, that is, the first photon counting module 21 and the second photon counting module 22 use the same AD conversion circuit.
[0237] Furthermore, the second counting circuit 222 can be configured to process the digital signal to obtain a DC component signal, and the parameter characterizing the number of photons in the optical signal includes a parameter related to the DC component signal.
[0238] For example, the second counting circuit 222 can be configured to perform a Fourier transform on the digital signal to obtain a DC component signal.
[0239] Alternatively or additionally, the second counting circuit 222 can be configured to integrate or sum the digital signal within a predetermined time period to obtain a parameter related to the integration result or the summation result and use it as the parameter characterizing the number of photons in the optical signal.
