Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of in vitro diagnostic reagent technology, and particularly relates to a thromboelastography-activated coagulation detection reagent, its preparation method, and a thromboelastography-activated coagulation detection kit. Background Technology
[0002] Thromboelastography (TEG) is a diagnostic technique that comprehensively assesses coagulation function by simulating the blood clotting process. It can dynamically analyze the entire process from coagulation initiation and clot formation to dissolution, helping doctors determine whether a patient has a coagulation disorder, hypercoagulable state, or hyperfibrinolysis. It is often used to guide individualized medication in surgery, trauma, or anticoagulation therapy.
[0003] Currently, thromboelastography-activated coagulation assays (endogenous activation) often use ellagic acid or kaolin alone, but these methods have the following problems:
[0004] Kaolin is prone to sedimentation: In automated testing, the precipitation of traditional kaolin suspensions leads to uneven concentration, affecting the accuracy of the results;
[0005] Insufficient ellagic acid activity: Ellagic acid alone may not be able to completely replace the activating effect of kaolin, especially at low concentrations, which prolong clotting time;
[0006] Liquid reagents require a cold chain for transportation. Ice packs cannot guarantee that the reagent performance will not be affected. Furthermore, liquid reagents have a short shelf life; they can only be stored for one year at 2-8°C. Summary of the Invention

[0067] The thromboelastography-based activated coagulation assay reagent provided by this invention is a lyophilized agent.

[0075] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the pH value of the thromboelastography composite activated coagulation detection reagent is preferably 7.4 to 7.6.
[0076] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the thromboelastography-based activated coagulation detection reagent is a lyophilized powder.
[0077] This invention employs a combination of ellagic acid and kaolin as activators. Ellagic acid solves the precipitation problem, while kaolin supplements the traditional endogenous activation effect, resulting in a better synergistic effect. At the same time, a suspending agent is used to better suspend the activator in the solution, improving the stability of the reagent. In addition, a composite stabilizer consisting of a biological buffer, a water-soluble polymer, an osmotic buffer, and a preservative is used to further improve the stability of the reagent. Furthermore, freeze-drying with a lyophilization protectant solves the problems of transporting and storing liquid reagents, and also avoids the problems of liquid reagents being prone to drying out and evaporation.

[0102] 1.1 Raw material screening
[0103] The screening of activators is shown in Table 1 below, which examines the effectiveness of different activators and their ratios.
[0104] Table 1. Types and sources of activators
[0105]
[0106] The main components of the stabilizer were screened as shown in Table 2 below. The effects of different stabilizers on the product results were tested. The composition in this table refers to the concentration in the solution after being prepared with the activator.
[0107] Table 2 Composition of stabilizers
[0108]
[0109] The screening of lyophilization protectant solutions is shown in Table 3 below. The solvent is purified water. The effects of different lyophilization protectants on product results were tested.
[0110] Table 3 Composition of the lyophilization protectant solution
[0111]
[0112] 1.2 Screening Results
[0113] Kaolin and ellagic acid from different manufacturers were prepared into solutions with purified water and tested using TEG from Blood Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Blood Technologies). The results were compared with the Blood Technologies Activated Coagulation Test Kit (Coagulation Method) (Control Reagent) using the same blood sample to screen the feasibility of using them as the main raw materials. The results are shown in Table 4.
[0114] Table 4 Screening Results
[0115]
[0116] The experimental results showed that the relative deviation between the R value of 0.05% Sinopharm kaolin and the blood test results reached 21%; the relative deviation between the R value of 0.005% Sigma ellagic acid and the blood test results reached 12.9%; while the deviations of R, K, Angle, MA, and CI of 0.05% Sigma kaolin and 0.005% Sinopharm ellagic acid from the reagent test results were all below ±10%, indicating good accuracy. Therefore, Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid were selected as the main raw materials.
[0117] Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid were mixed in purified water at different ratios. The total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the mixed solution was 0.05%. A blood sample was tested at the same time, and the results were compared with those of blood testing reagent. The test results are shown in Table 5.
[0118] Table 5. Test results of different mixing ratios
[0119]
[0120] The results showed that when different mixing ratios of the composite activating reagent were prepared for testing, the total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the mixed solution was 0.05%, and the mixing ratio of Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid of 1:40 was closest to the test results of the blood technology reagent.
[0121] Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid were mixed at a ratio of 1:40 and formulated into solutions A, B, and C with different stabilizers. The total mass concentration of the activator in solutions A, B, and C was 0.05%. The stabilizer composition in solution A was stabilizer 1 in Table 2, i.e., PEG content of 0.5%, sodium azide content of 0.025%, and sodium chloride content of 0.9%. The stabilizer composition in solution B was stabilizer 2 in Table 2, i.e., Tris content of 0.1%, PEG content of 5%, sodium azide content of 0.025%, and pH value of 7.5. The stabilizer composition in solution C was stabilizer 3 in Table 2, i.e., Tris content of 0.1%, PEG content of 5%, betaine content of 5 mM, sodium azide content of 0.025%, and pH value of 7.5.
[0122] Solutions A, B, and C were subjected to Level II quality control tests (Shandong Xinhua Medical Instrument Co., Ltd., Lu Medical Device Registration Certificate No. 20212400223) for repeatability and real-time stability (placement temperature 2℃~8℃) to screen their feasibility as stabilizers. The test results are shown in Table 6.
[0123] Table 6. Repeatability and Real-Time Stability Test Results
[0124]
[0125]
[0126] The test results above show that when the stabilizer composition in the solution is stabilizer 3, the repeatability is still within 10% after 3 months. However, when the stabilizer composition in the solution is stabilizer 1 and stabilizer 2, the repeatability gradually decreases over time. Therefore, the stabilizer 3 formulation is selected.
[0127] The final selection was a 1:40 mixture of Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid, with stabilizer 3 as the stabilizer component in the solution.
[0128] (II) Process Screening
[0129] Screening of nano-process parameters
[0130] (1) Wet ball milling: Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid were mixed in a ratio of 1:40 and wet ball milled. The total mass ratio of kaolin and ellagic acid, and the mass ratio of zirconia balls to water were 1:10:5. Suspension agent dextran and stabilizer were added. After preparation, the total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the solution was 0.05%. The composition and content of stabilizer are shown in stabilizer 3 in Table 2. The mass concentration of dextran in the solution was 0.2%. The experiment was designed as shown in Table 7. The particle size and PDI were tested using a nanoparticle size and zeta potential analyzer (DLS). The quality control material Level 2 was tested using thromboelastography. The results are shown in Table 7.
[0131] Table 7 Wet ball milling process parameters and test results
[0132]
[0133]
[0134] The experimental results showed that when zirconia balls (0.1~0.5 mm in diameter) were added to the solution and the mixture was ball-milled for 6~24 hours at a speed of 300~500 rpm, the relative deviations of R, Angle, MA and blood transfusion reagent were within ±10%.
[0135] (2) High-pressure homogenization: The pre-ground slurry (i.e., the slurry after wet ball milling in the above wet ball milling) was circulated through a high-pressure homogenizer, and then the suspending agent dextran and stabilizer were added. The composition and content of the stabilizer in the solution after preparation were stabilizer 3 in Table 2. The total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the solution was 0.05%, and the mass concentration of dextran in the solution was 0.2%. The particle size was further reduced by high-pressure homogenization. The specific experimental design and the test results of quality control 2 are shown in Table 8.
[0136] Table 8. High-pressure homogenization process parameters and test results
[0137]
[0138]
[0139] The results showed that at pressures of 500 bar and 2000 bar, and at 2 and 15 cycles, the relative deviations from the blood test results of the control reagent exceeded ±10% to varying degrees. When the pre-ground slurry was circulated through a high-pressure homogenizer (1000~1500 bar) 5~10 times, the relative deviations of R, Angle, and MA from the blood test reagent were within ±10%.
[0140] (3) Ultrasonic-assisted dispersion: The slurry homogenized under high pressure was ultrasonically treated, and then the suspending agent dextran and stabilizer were added. The composition and content of the stabilizer in the solution after preparation were stabilizer 3 in Table 2. The total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the solution was 0.05%, and the mass concentration of dextran in the solution was 0.2%. The ultrasonic treatment was performed by intermittent ultrasonic treatment with a probe (20kHz, 500W) (on / off cycle 5 s / 5 s) to avoid overheating. The specific time experimental design and blood sample test results are shown in Table 9.
[0141] Table 9. Ultrasonic-assisted dispersion process parameters and test results
[0142]
[0143] The test results show that when using probe ultrasound (20 kHz, 500 W) for intermittent treatment (on / off cycle 5 s / 5 s) for 15 minutes and 75 minutes, the relative deviations of R value and Angle from the control reagent exceeded ±10%. When the time was 30~60 minutes, all parameters were within the required range of relative deviation. Therefore, the specified time for using probe ultrasound (20 kHz, 500 W) for intermittent treatment (on / off cycle 5 s / 5 s) is 30~60 minutes.
[0144] (III) Screening of freeze-drying protectants and freeze-drying processes
[0145] Analysis of the effect of lyophilization protectant on results
[0146] Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid were mixed in a 1:40 ratio with an appropriate amount of water and subjected to a nano-process (zirconia balls with a diameter of 0.3 mm, the total mass of kaolin and ellagic acid, and the mass ratio of zirconia balls to water were 1:10:5, ball milling for 6 hours at 400 rpm, high-pressure homogenization at 1000 bar for 5 cycles, and intermittent ultrasonic treatment (5 s / 5 s on / off cycle) for 30 minutes using a probe (20 kHz, 500 W)). After adding suspending agent dextran and stabilizer, the total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the solution was 0.05%. The composition and content of the stabilizer are shown in Stabilizer 3 in Table 2. The mass concentration of dextran in the solution was 0.2%. The solution was then mixed with freeze-drying protectant solutions A, B, and C in a 1:1 ratio and injected into 24, 48, and 96 deep-well plates for freeze-drying, 80 µL per well; and directly freeze-dried into test cups, 28 µL per test cup. µL was used to test its effect on the accuracy of blood sample testing after product freeze-drying.
[0147] After mixing, freeze-drying was carried out according to the same freeze-drying procedure: pre-freezing temperature -50℃ for 4 h, after pre-freezing, sublimation was carried out in a gradient of 5℃~10℃, with the vacuum degree controlled at 150 bar, and the temperature was maintained at -40℃, -30℃, -20℃, -10℃, 0℃ and 10℃ for 2 h, and 20℃ for 2 h, and the vacuum degree was reduced to 50 bar.
[0148] Deep well plate packaging: After reconstitution with 1 mL of blood sample, no undissolved precipitate was observed, and the appearance after reconstitution met the requirements. 20 µL of CaCl2 was added to an empty test cup, and 340 µL of the reconstituted blood sample solution was added to the test cup for testing. The results are shown in Table 10.
[0149] Test cup packaging: Add 20 µL of CaCl2 to the test cup, and add 340 µL of blood sample to the test cup for testing.
[0150] Table 10. Effect of different lyophilization protectants on test results
[0151]
[0152]
[0153] The results of the on-machine test show that, after lyophilization using the three lyophilization protectant solutions in Table 10, the relative deviations of the repeatability of lyophilization protectant solution C from the control reagent are all within 10% in terms of R, Angle, and MA. This formula meets the product design requirements.
[0154] Based on the above screening results, a Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid were selected in a mixing ratio of 1:40. The stabilizer composition and content in the solution were stabilizer 3 as shown in Table 2. The total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the solution was 0.05%, and the mass concentration of dextran in the solution was 0.2%. The solution was not freeze-dried and was designated as reagent A.
[0155] The solution was prepared by mixing Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid in a 1:40 ratio. The stabilizer composition and content were as shown in Table 2 (Stabilizer 3). The total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the solution was 0.05%, and the mass concentration of dextran was 0.2%. The solution was then mixed with lyophilization protectant solution C in a 1:1 ratio and lyophilized according to the following procedure: pre-freezing at -50℃ for 4 hours; after pre-freezing, sublimation was carried out by increasing the temperature in increments of 5-10℃, maintaining a vacuum of 150 bar; holding at -40℃, -30℃, -20℃, -10℃, 0℃, and 10℃ for 2 hours each, and at 20℃ for 2 hours, before reducing the vacuum to 50 bar. This reagent is reagent B.
[0156] Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid were mixed in a 1:40 ratio with an appropriate amount of water and subjected to nano-processing (zirconia balls with a diameter of 0.3 mm, total mass of kaolin and ellagic acid, mass ratio of zirconia balls to water of 1:10:5, ball milling for 6 hours at 400 rpm, high-pressure homogenizer at 1000 bar for 5 cycles, and intermittent ultrasonic treatment (20 kHz, 500 W) with a probe (5 s / 5 s on / off cycle) for 30 minutes). Then, suspending agent dextran and stabilizer were added to prepare the solution. The stabilizer composition and content in the prepared solution were as shown in Table 2 (Stabilizer 3), the total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the solution was 0.05%, and the mass concentration of dextran in the solution was 0.2%. The solution was then mixed with freeze-drying protectant solution C in a 1:1 ratio and freeze-dryed according to the following procedure: pre-freezing temperature -50℃ for 4 hours, followed by sublimation at a temperature gradient of 5℃~10℃, with the vacuum degree controlled at 150℃. The temperature was maintained at -40°C, -30°C, -20°C, -10°C, 0°C, and 10°C for 2 hours each, and at 20°C for 2 hours, with the vacuum level reduced to 50 bar. This reagent is reagent C.
[0157] The real-time stability of the three reagents A, B, and C at 25℃ for 0, 1, and 3 months was tested. Aging tests were also conducted at 50℃ for 5, 10, 14, 19, and 21 weeks (where 50℃ for 5, 10, 14, 19, and 21 weeks represents 6, 12, 18, 24, and 27 months at 25℃, respectively). The repeatability of these tests was compared with that of the control reagent, and the results are shown in Table 11.
[0158] Table 11 Stability Test Results
[0159]
[0160]
[0161]
[0162]
[0163]
[0164] The stability test data above show that, since reagent A is a liquid phase (and has not undergone nano-processing), its R value CV exceeds 10 after 1 month at 25°C; reagent B has not undergone nano-processing, but it is lyophilized, and its R value CV exceeds 10 after 12 months; reagent C (which has undergone nano-processing and is lyophilized) still has good stability after 27 months, comparable to that of blood transfusion reagents.
[0165] Therefore, the final selection was to use a 1:40 mixture of Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid, with an appropriate amount of water, for nano-processing (zirconia balls diameter 0.3, total mass of kaolin and ellagic acid, mass ratio of zirconia balls to water 1:10:5, ball milling for 6 hours at 400 rpm, high-pressure homogenizer at 1000 bar for 5 cycles, and intermittent ultrasonic treatment (20 kHz, 500W) for 30 minutes with a 5 s / 5 s on / off cycle). Then, a suspending agent and stabilizer were added and the solution was prepared. The stabilizer composition and content in the prepared solution were as shown in Table 2 (Stabilizer 3), the total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the solution was 0.05%, and the mass concentration of dextran in the solution was 0.2%. The solution was then mixed with freeze-drying protectant solution C at a 1:1 ratio and freeze-dryed according to the freeze-drying procedure: pre-freezing temperature -50℃, 4... After pre-freezing, the temperature is increased and sublimated in a gradient of 5℃~10℃, with the vacuum degree controlled at 150 bar. The temperature is maintained at -40℃, -30℃, -20℃, -10℃, 0℃ and 10℃ for 2 hours, and at 20℃ for 2 hours. The vacuum degree is then reduced to 50 bar.
[0166] Example 1
[0167] Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid were mixed in a mass ratio of 1:40 and an appropriate amount of water was added. The mixture was then subjected to a nano-process (zirconia balls with a diameter of 0.3 mm; the total mass of kaolin and ellagic acid, and the mass ratio of zirconia balls to water were 1:10:5; ball milling for 6 hours at 400 rpm; high-pressure homogenization at 1000 bar for 5 cycles; and intermittent ultrasonic treatment using a probe (20 kHz, 500W) with an on / off cycle of 5 seconds). (s) 30 minutes), then add the suspending agent dextran and stabilizer and prepare the solution. The stabilizer composition and content in the prepared solution are stabilizer 3 in Table 2. The total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the solution is 0.05%, and the mass concentration of dextran in the solution is 0.2%. Then mix the solution with the lyophilization protectant solution C at a ratio of 1:1, and dispense 80µL / well into a 96-well deep plate and 28µL / cup into test cups, respectively. Perform lyophilization according to the following procedure: pre-freeze at -50℃ for 4 hours. After pre-freezing, sublimate by increasing the temperature in a gradient of 5℃~10℃, with the vacuum degree controlled at 150 bar. Hold at -40℃, -30℃, -20℃, -10℃, 0℃ and 10℃ for 2 hours, and hold at 20℃ for 2 hours, and then reduce the vacuum degree to 50 bar. After lyophilization, test the reagent performance.
[0168] Deep well plate packaging: Add 1 mL of water to reconstitute the quality control 2 solution, add 1 mL of the reconstituted quality control 2 solution to the deep well plate, add 20 µL of CaCl2 to an empty test cup, take 340 µL of the solution in the deep well plate and add it to the test cup for testing. The results are shown in Table 12.
[0169] Test cup packaging: Add 1 mL of water to reconstitute the quality control solution 2, add 20 µL of CaCl2 to the test cup, take 340 µL of the quality control solution and add it to the test cup for direct testing. The results are shown in Table 12.
[0170] Table 12 Test results of quality control products with different packaging forms
[0171]
[0172] The test results show that the test results of the two packaging forms of the reagent are similar to those of the blood test reagent, indicating that both methods of lyophilizing the reagent into a deep well plate, reconstitute it and then test it, and lyophilizing the reagent into a test cup and testing it directly are feasible.
[0173] Example 2
[0174] Sigma kaolin and Sinopharm ellagic acid were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:40 and an appropriate amount of water was added. The mixture underwent nano-processing (zirconia balls with a diameter of 0.3 mm; the total mass of kaolin and ellagic acid, and the mass ratio of zirconia balls to water were 1:10:5; ball milling for 6 hours at 400 rpm; high-pressure homogenizer at 1000 bar for 5 cycles; and intermittent ultrasonic treatment (20 kHz, 500W, on / off cycle 5 s / 5 s) for 30 minutes). Then, dextran, a suspending agent, and a stabilizer were added to prepare the solution. The stabilizer composition and content in the prepared solution were as shown in Table 2 (Stabilizer 3). The total mass concentration of kaolin and ellagic acid in the solution was 0.05%, and the mass concentration of dextran was 0.2%. The solution was then mixed with lyophilization protectant solution C at a 1:1 ratio and dispensed into 96-well and 28-well plates at 80 µL / well, respectively. Dispense µL / cup into test cups and perform lyophilization according to the above procedure: pre-freeze at -50℃ for 4 hours; after pre-freezing, sublimate by increasing the temperature in increments of 5℃ to 10℃, maintaining a vacuum of 150 bar; hold at -40℃, -30℃, -20℃, -10℃, 0℃, and 10℃ for 2 hours each, and at 20℃ for 2 hours, then reduce the vacuum to 50 bar. After lyophilization, test the reagent properties.
[0175] Deep well plate packaging: Add 1 ml of blood sample to the deep well plate, add 20 µL of CaCl2 to an empty test cup, and add 340 µL of blood sample from the deep well plate to the test cup for testing.
[0176] Test cup packaging: Add 20 µL of CaCl2 to the test cup, then add 340 µL of blood sample to the test cup for direct testing.
[0177] Following the above experimental method and using the blood transfusion reagent, 50 samples were tested to analyze the correlation between R, Angle, and MA. The experimental results are shown in Table 13.

[0181] Using the blood sample R-value test results from the hematology reagent as the x-axis and the blood sample R-value test results from the deep-well plate packaged reagent and the test cup packaged reagent in Example 2 as the y-axis, a scatter plot was drawn, and correlation analysis was performed.

[0183] Using the MA value test results of blood samples obtained with hematology reagents as the x-axis and the MA value test results of blood samples obtained with deep-well plate-packaged reagents and test cup-packaged reagents in Example 2 as the y-axis, a scatter plot was drawn, and correlation analysis was performed.

[0184] In summary, this invention combines ellagic acid and kaolin as a composite activator, optimizing the ratio to achieve a better synergistic effect. Ellagic acid solves the precipitation problem, while kaolin supplements the traditional endogenous activation effect. A composite stabilizer (such as Tris 0.1% + PEG 5% + betaine 5 mM + sodium azide 0.025%) is used to replace the traditional buffer solution, adjusting the pH to 7.5±0.1. The lyophilization protectant solution (mannitol 4% + PEG 5% + trehalose 5% + BSA 2%) is also optimized. By combining with calcium chloride to form a lyophilized powder, this invention addresses the industry pain points of transporting and storing liquid reagents (no cold chain required, shelf life extended to 24 months at room temperature (25°C)). It also avoids the problem of liquid reagents easily drying out: small volumes (10~40 μL) of liquid activators are prone to evaporation and inactivation during long-term storage. It can be placed in 24, 48, or 96-well deep-well plates (low cost, more suitable for industrial production, and different packaging options available depending on sample volume, meeting the needs of hospitals of different levels), and sealed with aluminum-plastic film, ensuring closed-loop detection and avoiding human error. After lyophilization in test cups, direct testing is possible, making it suitable for hospitals with small sample volumes; thus, this invention is not limited by sample size.
