Description

[0003] The properties of colloidal gold, such as particle size, distribution, and morphology, affect the accuracy of the final detection results. Currently, there is no unified process or standard for quality inspection during the production of colloidal gold. Most manufacturers use a sampling inspection model, where quality inspectors visually inspect the solution color and observe particle distribution under an electron microscope. This method relies heavily on the experience of the quality inspectors and is significantly influenced by their subjectivity. This can lead to inconsistencies in the colloidal gold standards of the antigen kits leaving the factory, and some colloidal gold may be substandard, resulting in false detections. This not only affects the reliability of the antigen kit products but may also endanger the health and lives of those being tested.

[0059] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the computer device described in this embodiment;

[0060] Figure 3 This is an exemplary electron microscope image of colloidal gold.

[0061] Figure labeling: 101 - Processor, 102 - Memory. Detailed Implementation

[0062] like Figure 1 As shown, the colloidal gold detection method of the antigen kit described in this application includes the following steps:

[0063] S01. Obtain an image of the colloidal gold to be tested;

[0064] S02. Obtain the particle size range of the colloidal gold to be tested based on the image of the colloidal gold to be tested;

[0065] The color of colloidal gold solutions is directly related to their particle size, which is determined by surface plasmon resonance and light scattering properties.

[0066] Generally speaking, colloidal gold solutions with small particle sizes (2-20 nm) are orange-yellow to wine-red.

[0067] Colloidal gold solutions with medium particle size (20-50 nm) are deep red to purplish red.

[0068] Colloidal gold solutions with large particle sizes (50-80 nm) appear blue-purple.

[0069] The above is the basis for judging the colloidal gold solution to be tested using machine vision.

[0070] To acquire an image of the colloidal gold to be tested, specifically, a multi-channel light source (such as the 400-800nm ​​band) is used to provide illumination, and an industrial camera is used to acquire the solution image. Preferably, short-wave infrared and ultraviolet light can be used to irradiate the colloidal gold to be tested to enhance the color resolution of the image.

[0071] The particle size range of the colloidal gold to be tested is obtained from the image of the colloidal gold to be tested, specifically including:

[0072] The image of the colloidal gold to be tested is input into the particle size range recognition model to obtain the particle size range of the colloidal gold to be tested;

[0073] The particle size range identification model is obtained through the following steps:

[0074] Multiple sets of colloidal gold images with different particle sizes were collected, and a mapping database of particle size and colloidal gold images was established as sample data.

[0075] The sample data is input into the classification model to train the classification model and obtain the particle size range recognition model.

[0076] For example, the classification model uses the YOLOv8-lite lightweight model, which is commonly used in image classification and has high sensitivity to images.

[0077] Collect multiple sets of colloidal gold images with different particle sizes. For example, by preparing colloidal gold solutions with different particle sizes and imaging them in the same imaging environment, multiple sets of colloidal gold solution images with different particle sizes can be obtained. Each set of colloidal gold solution images is labeled with the corresponding particle size range information, such as 10-15 nm.

[0078] Color features, such as the intensity ratio of red and blue channels, are extracted from images using existing image processing algorithms. Based on the intensity ratio and the labeled grain size, a correspondence between the red and blue channel intensity ratio and the grain size is established. For example, the intensity of red in an image is generally negatively correlated with the grain size. A mapping database of image color features and grain size is established based on multiple sets of correspondences. Preferably, sample augmentation, such as generating image variants using CycleGAN, can further increase the amount of sample data. A portion of the data, for example, 80%, is used as training data, and the remaining 20% ​​is used as test data.

[0079] The YOLOv8-lite model is trained using training data. Specifically, the YOLOv8-lite model is trained with color features extracted from images as input and particle size as output, so that the YOLOv8-lite model has the ability to classify particle size based on image color features.

[0080] By iterating multiple times until the required number of iterations is met, the classification accuracy of the model is verified using test data. The particle size recognition result of the model is compared with the actual particle size corresponding to the image to determine the particle size recognition accuracy. When the accuracy requirement is met, such as the recognition accuracy reaching 90%, the model is considered to meet the accuracy requirement. If it is not met, the number of training iterations is increased and the model constraints are adjusted.

[0081] The above exemplary steps can be used to obtain a particle size range recognition model that takes an image of colloidal gold solution as input and the particle size in the colloidal gold solution as output. In actual testing, after acquiring an image of the colloidal gold solution to be tested through an imaging device, the image is input into the particle size range recognition model to obtain the particle size range of the colloidal gold to be tested.

[0082] S03. Compare the particle size range of the colloidal gold to be tested with the standard particle size to obtain the preliminary inspection result of the colloidal gold to be tested; for example, for a certain batch of colloidal gold solution, the required standard particle size range is 10-20nm. If the particle size range identification model is used to obtain that the colloidal gold solution to be tested is 10-15nm or 15-20nm, then the preliminary inspection result of the colloidal gold solution to be tested is qualified.

[0083] S04. In response to the initial test result of the colloidal gold to be tested being qualified, a second test is performed on the colloidal gold to be tested;

[0084] The secondary detection includes:

[0085] The colloidal gold under test was subjected to DLS particle size analysis, Zeta potential detection and electron microscopy imaging to obtain the uniformity of particle size distribution, Zeta potential and regularity of particle size morphology.

[0086] Based on the uniformity of the particle size distribution, the Zeta potential, and the regularity of the particle size morphology of the colloidal gold to be measured, the detection result of the colloidal gold to be measured is obtained.

[0087] Specifically, the DLS particle size analysis of the colloidal gold to be measured includes:

[0088] Use a Nicomp Z3000 device to perform DLS particle size analysis on the colloidal gold to be measured. Through this device, the average particle size particle size standard deviation σ, and polydispersity index PDI of the colloidal gold to be measured can be obtained. Specifically:

[0089] Average particle size

[0090]

[0091] where n represents the number of particles, and d i represents the particle size of the particle numbered i.

[0092] Particle size standard deviation σ:

[0093]

[0094] [[ID=~]]Polydispersity index PDI:

[0095]

[0096] Calculate the particle size distribution uniformity result Uni of the colloidal gold to be measured according to the following formula:

[0097]

[0098] where w1, w2, and w3 respectively represent the initial first weight, second weight, and third weight. The applicant has found through actual verification that for the special object of colloidal gold solution, the average particle size is easily affected by abnormal particle sizes, and its characteristic of particle size distribution uniformity is relatively poor compared to the other two parameters. Therefore, the weight ratio is adjusted so that the weight ratio satisfies w1 < w2 ≤ w3 to make the particle size distribution uniformity result more accurate. d' represents the standard particle size. For example, for a colloidal gold solution with a standard particle size range of 10 - 20 nm, the standard particle size can be taken as the median 15 nm.

[0099] The applicant further found that in the colloidal gold solution of the polydisperse system, the performance of the average particle size for the particle size distribution uniformity will be further weakened. At this time, more attention should be paid to the two indicators of standard deviation and polydispersity index. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to make the calculation result of the particle size distribution uniformity more accurate, the weights of the three indicators are dynamically adjusted as follows:

[0100] A preset standard deviation threshold thr for the particle size standard deviation σ is provided. σ And the multidispersion threshold thr for the multidispersion index PDI PDI In response to the particle size standard deviation σ being not less than the standard deviation threshold thr σ And / or the polydispersity index (PDI) is not less than the polydispersity threshold (thr). PDI The first weight is decreased, and the second weight and / or the third weight is increased.

[0101] For example, using the standard deviation of particle size If the standard deviation is a passing standard, then the standard deviation threshold can be set to thr. σ for Using a polydispersity index (PDI) ≤ 0.25 as the standard for a satisfactory polydispersity index, the polydispersity index threshold thr can be set as follows: PDI Set it to 0.2.

[0102] When calculating the uniformity of particle size distribution Uni, if the calculated standard deviation of particle size σ is greater than or equal to the standard deviation threshold, and / or the polydispersity index PDI is greater than or equal to the polydispersity threshold thr PDI The result indicates that the colloidal gold to be tested has obvious polydispersity characteristics. For this type of colloidal gold, the average particle size ratio is easily affected by irregularly shaped particles, which weakens the performance of particle size distribution uniformity. Therefore, the first weight corresponding to the average particle size ratio is reduced, and the second and third weights corresponding to the standard deviation and polydispersity index are increased, so that the final particle size distribution uniformity Uni calculation result is more accurate and targeted.

[0103] The secondary detection includes performing Zeta potential detection on the colloidal gold to be tested, which includes:

[0104] Preset standard range for Zeta potential c = [V min V max ], to obtain the Zeta potential of the colloidal gold to be tested;

[0105] If the Zeta potential of the colloidal gold to be tested does not belong to the standard interval c, then the detection result of the Zeta potential of the colloidal gold to be tested is set to 0. If the Zeta potential of the colloidal gold to be tested belongs to the standard interval c, then the Zeta potential of the colloidal gold to be tested is normalized based on the standard interval c to obtain the detection result V of the Zeta potential of the colloidal gold to be tested. Zeta .

[0106] For example, the preset standard interval c = (V min V maxIf the zeta potential of the colloidal gold to be tested is -10mV, then the zeta potential detection result is directly set to 0. If the zeta potential of the colloidal gold to be tested is -40mV, then normalization is performed to obtain the potential detection result.

[0107]

[0108] The normalized detection result of the Zeta potential of the colloidal gold to be tested can be calculated by the above steps. The closer the normalized detection result is to 1, the better the stability of the colloidal gold to be tested.

[0109] The secondary detection process includes electron microscopy imaging analysis of the colloidal gold sample, which includes:

[0110] Obtain an electron microscope image of the colloidal gold to be tested, and based on the electron microscope image, obtain the major axis L of the particles in the colloidal gold to be tested. l and short axis L s Calculate the aspect ratio AR of each particle in the colloidal gold to be tested:

[0111] AR = L l / L s ;

[0112] Based on the aspect ratio AR of each particle, the average aspect ratio of the particles in the colloidal gold to be tested was calculated.

[0113]

[0114] Wherein, n represents the number of particles in the colloidal gold to be tested, and i represents the particle number;

[0115] Extreme Aspect Ratio AR max :

[0116] AR max =max(AR1, AR2...AR) n ),

[0117] Irregularity percentage P irr :

[0118]

[0119] Where, n irr This indicates the number of particles in the colloidal gold to be tested whose aspect ratio is greater than the aspect ratio threshold. For example, the aspect ratio threshold can be set to 1.2. When the aspect ratio of a particle is greater than 1.2, it is determined that the particle may be a long rod-shaped or elliptical irregular shape.

[0120] Based on the obtained average aspect ratio Extreme Aspect Ratio AR max and the proportion of irregular shapes Pirr The morphological regularity of the colloidal gold under test was calculated using MRI.

[0121]

[0122] Specifically, the colloidal gold solution to be tested is dropped onto a silicon wafer or copper mesh, allowed to dry naturally, and then sputtered with gold. The resulting image is then obtained using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). For example, such as... Figure 3 As shown.

[0123] After acquiring the electron microscope image, the operator measured the major axis L of the particles in the colloidal gold to be tested. l and short axis L s The aspect ratio of each particle is then calculated. The aspect ratio is used to measure the roundness of the particles. For particles in colloidal gold solutions, high roundness is required to avoid rod-shaped, elliptical, or other similar shapes. Therefore, the aspect ratio of each particle is used as one of the detection indicators. Preferably, the aspect ratio of the particles can be automatically calculated using image processing algorithms.

[0124] An exemplary embodiment is as follows:

[0125] Histogram equalization was used to optimize the distinction between particles and background in electron microscopy images, and Gaussian filtering was used to eliminate image noise. An adaptive thresholding algorithm was employed to convert grayscale images into binary images to distinguish particles from the background. A watershed algorithm was used to separate contacting particles through distance transformation and local extremum detection. Morphological operations were applied to erosion-dilation of adherent regions, and the particles in the image were segmented using skeleton extraction.

[0126] The Feret axial length method is used to calculate the lengths of the major and minor axes of particles, which enables automated calculation of the major and minor axes of particles and improves detection efficiency.

[0127] After calculating the major axis length and minor axis length of each particle, the aspect ratio of each particle can be calculated, and then the average aspect ratio, the extreme value of the aspect ratio and the proportion of irregularities can be obtained. In this way, the morphological regularity result MRI can be calculated. The closer this value is to 1, the more regular the particle morphology in the colloidal gold to be tested is.

[0128] Based on the uniformity of particle size distribution, zeta potential, and regularity of particle morphology of the colloidal gold to be tested, the detection results of the colloidal gold to be tested include:

[0129] Calculate the detection index DR of the colloidal gold to be tested:

[0130] DR = w4*Uni + w5*(1-V) Zeta )+w6*(1-MRI),

[0131] Where w4, w5, and w6 represent the fourth, fifth, and sixth weights, respectively.

[0132] If the particle size distribution uniformity, Zeta potential, and particle morphology regularity of the colloidal gold to be tested all meet the standards, and the detection result DR of the colloidal gold to be tested is less than the preset detection result threshold thr DR If the colloidal gold to be tested is qualified, then the colloidal gold to be tested is qualified; otherwise, the colloidal gold to be tested is unqualified.

[0133] After calculating the particle size distribution uniformity, zeta potential, and particle morphology regularity of the colloidal gold to be tested, since these three indicators are interrelated and influence each other, in addition to judging whether each of the three indicators is qualified, it is also necessary to judge the overall performance of the colloidal gold in terms of stability and uniformity. Therefore, the overall detection index of the colloidal gold to be tested is calculated using the above formula. By reasonably allocating the weights and adjusting the influence of the three different indicators on the final detection index, the accuracy of the final detection results can be further improved.

[0134] During the actual testing process, the applicant found that for colloidal gold solutions with different particle sizes, their application scenarios may differ. For example, diagnostic colloidal gold solutions typically have a particle size of 20-40 nm, while labeling colloidal gold solutions typically have a particle size of 5-15 nm. The significant difference in particle size results in varying sensitivities to various detection indicators. For instance, small-particle-size colloidal gold solutions exhibit stronger surface plasmon resonance and more active Brownian motion, making them more sensitive to zeta potentials. Therefore, the weight of zeta potential can be appropriately increased. Conversely, large-particle-size solutions, due to the steric hindrance effect of their particles, respond less strongly to zeta potentials compared to small-particle-size solutions, and the weight of zeta potential can be appropriately reduced.

[0135] Therefore, in order to improve the applicability and accuracy of the method in this embodiment under different particle sizes and different scenarios, the fourth, fifth, and sixth weights can be dynamically adjusted using a genetic algorithm. An exemplary process is as follows:

[0136] Weighted correlation of colloidal gold properties:

[0137] Particle size distribution uniformity: Small particle size (e.g., 5-20 nm) colloidal gold is more sensitive to particle size distribution uniformity and its weight needs to be increased to control the impact of polydispersity on optical performance; large particle size allows for a higher tolerance for particle size distribution uniformity.

[0138] Zeta potential: Small particle size is more sensitive to zeta potential, so the weight of zeta potential can be appropriately increased. However, due to the steric hindrance effect of the particles, the large particle size solution is less sensitive to zeta potential than the small particle size solution, so the weight of zeta potential can be appropriately reduced.

[0139] Morphological regularity: The morphology of large-particle colloidal gold is easily affected by the preparation process (such as agglomeration), and the weight needs to be increased to suppress the interference of irregular particles on the detection signal.

[0140] The fourth, fifth, and sixth weights are used as chromosomes for the genetic algorithm, satisfying the constraint that the sum of the weights equals 1, and real-number encoding is used to map the solution space.

[0141] Natural selection mechanism: The fitness function comprehensively detects the error of the index and eliminates weight combinations that violate physical laws (such as small particle size but correspondingly low weight).

[0142] Encoding and Population Initialization:

[0143] The weights are directly represented by real numbers (e.g., 0.6, 0.2, 0.2). The initial population randomly generates N sets of weights (e.g., 50-200 sets). Normalization ensures that the sum of the weights in each set is equal to 1.

[0144] Constrained embedding: Illegal solutions are handled through a penalty function. For example, for small-particle-size samples, the fitness of the weight combination is deducted when the fourth weight corresponding to the uniformity of particle size distribution is less than 0.5.

[0145] Fitness function design:

[0146] Error standardization was performed on three indicators of the sample data: uniformity of particle size distribution, Zeta potential, and regularity of particle size morphology.

[0147]

[0148] The target value and allowable deviation are set by the company according to industry standards and product requirements.

[0149] Fitness calculation:

[0150] f(w)=w4*(1-E4)+w5*(1-E5)+w6*(1-E6),

[0151] By setting a fitness threshold, weight combinations that meet the fitness criteria are selected.

[0152] Genetic manipulation:

[0153] Selection: Use a tournament mode to retain highly fit individuals while taking into account diversity, for example, select 3 individuals each time to compete for the best.

[0154] Crossover: The offspring weights are generated using an arithmetic crossover formula.

[0155] child=a*parent1+(1-a)*parent2,

[0156] a∈[0.2,0.8], randomly generated.

[0157] Mutation: Gaussian perturbation mutation is used to add N(0,0.05) noise to the random weights, and then normalization is performed after mutation.

[0158] Dynamic parameter adjustment:

[0159] Adaptive mutation rate: As the number of iterations increases, the mutation rate decreases linearly from 0.1 to 0.01.

[0160] Elite retention: The best 5% of individuals are retained in each generation to prevent the loss of high-quality solutions.

[0161] Through the above steps, the optimal genetic solution for the weight combination under different particle sizes can be obtained. When the particle size range of the colloidal gold to be tested is obtained in actual detection, the median of the particle size range can be input into the above genetic algorithm to obtain the optimal solution for the weight combination corresponding to the colloidal gold to be tested and update it, so that the final calculated detection index DR is more accurate.
