Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biological tissue and cell detection technology, and in particular to an in situ biological tissue and cell free radical detection device and method based on EPR. Background Technology
[0002] Biological free radicals (such as reactive oxygen species) play a key role in oxidative stress and disease mechanisms, but their short lifespan (milliseconds) and low concentration make detection difficult. Current technologies mainly rely on chemical probes (such as fluorescence methods) or EPR non-in situ detection. However, fluorescent probes are easily oxidized, affecting detection accuracy. Traditional EPR methods require freezing or fixing samples, and the materials used are incompatible with biological samples, which can easily cause cell sample inactivation, leading to problems such as inactivation or attenuation of free radicals in the sample. Therefore, to address the aforementioned issues, we propose an in-situ biological tissue cell free radical detection device and method based on EPR. Through the design of a movable sterile aspiration head and infusion channel, automated sample collection and delivery are achieved, improving experimental efficiency. Since there is no need to freeze or fix the samples, the problem of free radical inactivation or attenuation in traditional EPR detection is avoided, ensuring the authenticity and reliability of the detection results. Through the automated operation of the central control system, researchers can adjust experimental conditions in real time during the culture process and simultaneously record free radical change data, realizing real-time, dynamic, and in-situ detection of biological free radicals.

[0029] Example Optionally, in tumor pharmacology research, it is necessary to assess the impact of novel anticancer drugs on the oxidative stress level of cancer cells. Traditional methods, due to sample fixation leading to the decay of free radicals, struggle to capture real-time dynamic changes.

When the signal-to-noise ratio is < 20dB, the number of scans will increase to 3. Q6: During the initial test, inject TEMPOL standard at a known concentration, record the peak value Sstd, and calculate the k value; if R 2 If the value is <0.995 or the k-value deviation is >2%, an alarm will be triggered and recalibration will be performed.

In three independent experiments, the deviation of the k value was <1.5%, R 2 ≥0.997, meeting the alarm threshold requirements, with a minimum detectable free radical concentration of 0.5μM, which is 3 times more sensitive than the traditional fluorescence method; In the 2.1 μM drug group, the peak concentration of ·OH reached 8.2 μM after 30 min of treatment, and then decreased due to the activation of the cellular antioxidant system. In the 10 μM group, cell apoptosis was induced by excessive oxidative stress, and the free radical concentration dropped sharply after 45 min. After dynamic adjustment of O2 concentration, the drug-induced oxidative stress intensity decreased by 18±3%, which verified the alleviating effect of hypoxia on drug toxicity. 3.
