Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of luminescence technology and relates to a single-peak narrowband luminescent microsphere and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Homogeneous detection is a detection technique that can be performed directly under pure liquid phase conditions without separation and washing steps, and it has attracted much attention in many fields such as basic medical research, immunoassay, biomarker detection, and drug screening. Luminescent materials are key materials in homogeneous detection technology.
[0003] Luminescent materials used in homogeneous detection include quantum dot luminescent materials, rare-earth-doped luminescent materials, and organic luminescent microspheres. Quantum dots, typically only 2-20 nm in size, present numerous challenges for biological applications due to their extremely small size. These challenges include difficulty in effectively encapsulating them into structurally stable and functionally defined carriers, a lack of diversity in surface functional groups, and potential toxicity. Rare-earth luminescent materials often exhibit multiple emission peaks, which are difficult to completely separate, displaying a so-called "multi-peak" characteristic that fails to meet the requirements for high-resolution emission spectra and single-wavelength output. Organic luminescent microspheres, comprising a microsphere carrier and organic luminescent molecules, offer advantages such as simplified operation and enhanced specificity in homogeneous detection. For example, the suspension properties of organic luminescent microspheres allow for uniform dispersion in the liquid phase, facilitating high-throughput sample loading and detection using automated pipetting equipment. Organic luminescent microspheres can also achieve precise identification of target analytes through surface modification with specific biomolecules. However, the sensitivity of existing organic luminescent microspheres for homogeneous detection still needs improvement.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for an organic light-emitting microsphere that can improve the sensitivity of homogeneous detection. Summary of the Invention

[0136] As used herein, the term "single-peak narrow-band luminescent microsphere" refers to a microsphere incorporating a narrow-band emitter as the luminescent center. This can be achieved through covalent bonding, cross-linking, or physical encapsulation. The resulting microsphere has a size ranging from submicron to micrometer. The emitted microsphere exhibits a single peak with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of no more than 35 nm. It should be noted that, compared to the narrow-band emission described in chromophores disclosed in the art, the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microsphere of this invention exhibits only narrow-band emission and lacks a broad spectrum. Furthermore, the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microsphere of this invention differs from existing narrow-band materials, which may include a main emission peak, secondary peaks, etc.
[0137] As used in this article, the term "microsphere" can refer to a structure that is roughly spherical, such as microspheres, ellipsoids, porous spheres, etc., with varying degrees of hollowness.
[0138] In this invention, the single-peak and narrow-band characteristics of the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres enable them to exhibit better sensitivity in homogeneous detection.
[0139] The diameter of the single-peak narrowband luminescent microspheres of the present invention is in the nanometer to micrometer size range. In some embodiments, the diameter range of the single-peak narrowband luminescent microspheres is 50nm-500μm, for example 60nm-500μm, 80nm-500μm, 100nm-500μm, 120nm-500μm, 150nm-500μm, 200nm-500μm, 400nm-500μm, 600nm-500μm, 800nm-500μm, 1μm-500μm, 10μm- 500μm, 50μm-500μm, 100μm-500μm, 200μm-500μm, 400μm-500μm, 100nm-400μm, 250nm-350μm, 5 00nm-400μm, 800nm-200μm, 1μm-200μm, 10μm-200μm, 50μm-300μm, 100μm-300μm, 100μm-200μm.
[0140] Existing single-peak narrowband luminescent microspheres are generally quantum dot microspheres. Quantum dot microspheres suffer from the problem of excessively small size, typically less than 20 nm, or even less than 10 nm, limiting their widespread application in biological and detection fields. Furthermore, the preparation of single-peak narrowband quantum dot microspheres is challenging due to the poor solubility of quantum dots, making the coating process difficult and complex. In contrast, the single-peak narrowband luminescent microspheres of this invention incorporate organic light-emitting molecules, which are coated within the microspheres. The microspheres are in the nanometer to micrometer range in size, making them suitable for applications in the biological field, while also offering a simple preparation process.
[0141] In some embodiments, the photoluminescence lifetime of the single-peak narrowband luminescent microspheres is in nanoseconds. In this invention, a photoluminescence lifetime of nanoseconds means a photoluminescence lifetime of 1 ns to 999 ns.
[0142] In some embodiments, the half-width at half-maximum (WHM) of the emission spectrum of the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microsphere is no greater than 35 nm, for example, no greater than 34 nm, no greater than 33 nm, no greater than 32 nm, no greater than 31 nm, no greater than 30 nm, no greater than 29 nm, no greater than 28 nm, no greater than 26 nm, no greater than 24 nm, no greater than 22 nm, no greater than 20 nm, no greater than 18 nm, no greater than 16 nm, no greater than 14 nm, no greater than 12 nm, no greater than 10 nm, no greater than 8 nm, no greater than 6 nm, and no greater than 4 nm.
[0143] In some embodiments, the peak width at 1% intensity of the highest peak of the emission spectrum of the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microsphere is no greater than 150 nm, for example, no greater than 140 nm, no greater than 130 nm, no greater than 120 nm, no greater than 110 nm, no greater than 100 nm, no greater than 90 nm, no greater than 80 nm, no greater than 70 nm, no greater than 60 nm, no greater than 50 nm, no greater than 40 nm, no greater than 30 nm, no greater than 20 nm, no greater than 10 nm, and no greater than 5 nm.
[0144] Unless otherwise specified, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) in this article refers to the difference between the two wavelengths corresponding to half the peak intensity of the highest peak in the emission spectrum. In this article, if the number of emission peaks at an intensity greater than or equal to 5% of the highest peak value is one, the emission peak of the luminescent microsphere or luminescent molecule is considered a single peak.
[0145] In some embodiments, the emission spectrum of the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres above 5% of the highest peak intensity does not exhibit double peaks and / or multiple peaks. Because baseline spikes, spikes (baseline rise), and irregular, sharp small-amplitude fluctuations within the normal range of baseline fluctuations can occur due to instrument errors or other errors, to obtain a highly reliable emission spectrum, the emission spectrum above 5% of the highest peak intensity should not exhibit double peaks and / or multiple peaks, thus matching the single-peak narrow-band requirement of this invention. In some embodiments, the organic luminescent molecules of this invention do not include europium (Eu)-containing luminescent molecules.
[0146] It should be noted that two scenarios exist in the actual emission spectra obtained. In one scenario, a secondary emission peak exists in the emission spectrum, independent of the main peak, with a peak value higher than the baseline of the region adjacent to the main peak (i.e., the lowest value connected to the main peak). The secondary emission peak has a complete peak shape and can be distinguished from the main peak, with a clear peak start point, peak value, and peak end point. In this invention, the emission spectrum forming the secondary emission peak is not defined as a single peak. However, in another scenario, a shoulder-shaped protrusion appears on the right side of the main peak. This protrusion is attached to the main peak, and its peak value is always lower than the baseline of the region adjacent to the main peak (the lowest value connected to the main peak). This spectral protrusion does not have an independent and complete peak shape; it only presents as a small arc protrusion extending from the downward trend of the main peak. It cannot be completely separated from the main peak and is integrated into the spectral shape of the downward trend of the main peak.
[0147] It is difficult to achieve single-peak narrowband luminescent microspheres with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of no more than 35 nm, a single emission peak, and a particle size ranging from nanometers to micrometers in existing technologies. While reported narrowband polymer dots exhibit multi-peak emission, it is understandable that multi-peak applications place very high demands on material composition due to crosstalk between emission peaks, which significantly reduces the coded capacity of the material.
[0148] In some embodiments, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the emission spectrum of the narrow-band organic light-emitting molecules is no greater than 30 nm, for example, no greater than 29 nm, no greater than 28 nm, no greater than 26 nm, no greater than 24 nm, no greater than 22 nm, no greater than 20 nm, no greater than 18 nm, no greater than 16 nm, no greater than 14 nm, no greater than 12 nm, no greater than 10 nm, no greater than 8 nm, no greater than 6 nm, and no greater than 4 nm.
[0149] In some embodiments, the peak width at 1% intensity of the highest peak of the emission spectrum of the narrow-band organic light-emitting molecule is no greater than 140 nm, for example, no greater than 130 nm, no greater than 120 nm, no greater than 110 nm, no greater than 100 nm, no greater than 90 nm, no greater than 80 nm, no greater than 70 nm, no greater than 60 nm, no greater than 50 nm, no greater than 40 nm, no greater than 30 nm, no greater than 20 nm, and no greater than 10 nm.
[0150] It is understood that in this invention, the emission spectrum of the narrow-band organic light-emitting molecules themselves satisfies a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of no more than 30 nm, and a peak width at 1% intensity of the highest peak value of no more than 140 nm. The inventors discovered that after the narrow-band organic light-emitting molecules are coated in microspheres, their emission peak shape remains essentially unchanged, with only a very slight extension in a small portion of their FWHM, not exceeding 5 nm. Thus, after being coated in microspheres, the requirement that the FWHM of the microsphere's emission spectrum not exceed 35 nm is met.
[0151] It's important to note that the peak width at 1% of the intensity of the highest peak in the emission spectrum, also called the 1% peak width, is typically defined as the width of the emission spectrum on the wavelength (or frequency) axis when the spectral intensity drops to 1% of the highest peak intensity. Assuming the emission spectrum is plotted on the wavelength axis and the intensity axis on the intensity axis, first find the point with the highest intensity in the spectrum, i.e., the highest peak value. Then determine the intensity value corresponding to 1% of the highest peak intensity. Next, find the two wavelength positions corresponding to this 1% intensity value on the spectral curve (one to the left of the peak, and one to the right of the peak). The difference between these two wavelength positions is the peak width at 1% of the intensity of the highest peak in the emission spectrum. This parameter reflects the degree of spectral broadening in spectral analysis.
[0152] In this invention, the external stimulus includes at least one of light, chemical reaction, X-ray, ultrasound, radioactive irradiation, thermal stimulation, and mechanical stimulation. It can be a single external stimulus or a combination of any two, three, four, five, six, or seven external stimuli.
[0153] Understandably, although the emission peak shape and full width at half maximum (FWHM) remain unchanged after the organic light-emitting molecules are coated in microspheres, their brightness will decrease. This is understandable because the light emitted by the organic light-emitting molecules coated in microspheres needs to pass through the microspheres before being captured by the light-emitting detection device. This process involves refraction, reflection, scattering, and light absorption, resulting in a decrease in the number of emitted photons. Alternatively, when organic light-emitting molecules are coated at high concentrations in microspheres, the molecules are very close together, and an excited-state molecule may non-radiatively transfer energy to a neighboring ground-state molecule (even if the latter is not directly excited). If the acceptor molecule is non-radiatively relaxing (such as a quencher), or if the energy transfer between multiple molecules is ultimately captured by a non-radiative center, the overall luminescence efficiency will decrease.
[0154] In this invention, external stimuli can be applied to the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres, including but not limited to light, chemical reaction, X-ray, ultrasound, radioactive irradiation, thermal stimulation, mechanical stimulation, etc., to increase the number of luminescent photons, thereby improving its luminescence brightness, so that the luminescence brightness is equal to or even higher than the luminescence intensity of the original organic luminescent molecules in the solution phase.
[0155] It should be noted that when the external stimulus is light alone, the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres of the present invention can be used directly. When the external stimulus is a combination of light and other external stimuli mentioned in the context of the present invention, it is understood that additional photosensitizers and / or buffers are required.
[0156] For example, in some specific cases, X-rays can generate secondary electrons and holes through the photoelectric effect or Compton scattering. These charge carriers recombine to form a luminescent state, and energy is transferred resonantly to a donor microsphere coated with a photosensitizer. The photosensitizer is further excited to a triplet state, and energy is transferred to the ground-state oxygen (…) through energy transfer. 3 O2) is converted into singlet oxygen ( 1 O2). The inventors discovered that the optimized system showed an increase in luminescence intensity of nearly one order of magnitude, and time-resolved spectroscopy confirmed that its non-radiative energy transfer efficiency reached 100%, fully demonstrating the effectiveness of X-ray stimulation. 1 O2 yield has been greatly improved.
[0157] For example, in some specific cases, the external stimulus can be mechanical. Some organic light-emitting molecules contain anthracene endoperoxides, which can act as mechanoresponsive groups and react under mechanical force. The inventors discovered that mechanical stress can trigger a ring-reversal reaction of anthracene endoperoxides, generating a fluorescent anthracene nucleus while releasing singlet oxygen and increasing luminescence intensity. For example, in one possible example, anthracene endoperoxides and photosensitizers are coated together in microspheres as donor microspheres.
[0158] For example, in some specific cases, the external stimulus can be light. For instance, photosensitizers (porphyrins, BODIPY, etc.) are excited to a singlet state (S1) under specific wavelengths of light, and then transform into a triplet state (T1) through intersystem crossing. The triplet photosensitizer reacts with ground-state oxygen (such as triplet oxygen). 3 Energy transfer occurs in O2, making 3 O2 is converted into singlet oxygen ( 1 O2), the photosensitizer itself returns to the ground state.
[0159] For example, there could be reactive stimuli, such as chemical triggering (e.g., releasing singlet oxygen from aromatic peroxides), temperature stimulation (i.e., thermal stimulation), or radioactive irradiation, to stimulate molecules that meet the requirements, thereby promoting the production of singlet oxygen and thus increasing the overall luminescence intensity of organic light-emitting molecules in the microspheres.
[0160] Understandably, the combination of the above technical solutions can produce microspheres with single peaks, narrow bands, large size and high luminescence intensity. When such microspheres are applied, for example in homogeneous detection, the detection sensitivity is higher due to the brighter luminescence.
[0161] In some embodiments, the organic light-emitting molecule comprises a single light-emitting component of a conjugated π-electron system, and the organic light-emitting molecule has a planar rigid structure.
[0162] In some embodiments, the organic light-emitting molecule includes at least one substituent, the steric hindrance of which has a conformational free energy A of not less than 1.7 kcal / mol, for example not less than 4 kcal / mol.
[0163] Understandably, the conjugated π-electron system is the core determinant of the emission wavelength and efficiency of organic molecules. Long-range ordered π-conjugation can form discrete electronic energy levels, which is conducive to radiative transitions with concentrated energy distribution. A single component avoids the uneven energy transfer or peak overlap of different emission centers caused by multi-component systems (such as host-guest doping or multiple emitting groups), which would significantly broaden the spectrum. In multi-component systems (such as host-guest doping), energy transfer processes (such as Förster resonance energy transfer) may result in energy loss and spectral broadening due to fluctuations in intermolecular distance or differences in microenvironment. A single component eliminates such interference. During luminescence, molecular vibration or rotation dissipates energy through non-radiative pathways (vibrational relaxation), leading to spectral broadening and decreased quantum efficiency. Planar rigid structures (such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and rigid polycyclic molecules) can significantly restrict intramolecular motion, reduce the conversion of excited-state energy into thermal energy, thereby improving luminescence efficiency (reducing non-radiative decay) and sharpening emission peaks (weakening vibrational coupling and more concentrated energy level distribution). In addition, large steric hindrance is also beneficial for maintaining monomer luminescence and preventing concentration quenching and redshift broadening.
[0164] Therefore, through extensive experiments, the inventors discovered that in microspheres (such as polymer microspheres, silica microspheres, etc.), molecules are confined to a limited space, which makes them more prone to extremely high local concentrations and π-π stacking / quenching. Furthermore, if the microenvironment is inhomogeneous, it can lead to spectral shift, and light scattering effects within the microspheres can cause spectral broadening. To address these issues specifically, certain requirements must be met in the molecular structure design. In some embodiments of this invention, a single luminescent component is defined to avoid complex energy transfer. Simultaneously, the planar rigid structure reduces the impact of microenvironmental disturbances on energy levels, and the large steric hindrance groups can resist aggregation at high concentrations, thereby solving the technical challenges of encapsulating organic light-emitting molecules in microspheres.
[0165] In some preferred embodiments, the conjugated π-electron system contains at least two substituents selected from a first substituent, a second substituent, a third substituent, and a fourth substituent, wherein there is a mixed steric hindrance effect between the at least two substituents.
[0166] The luminescence performance of single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres affects their applications. Through extensive experiments, the inventors discovered that, while maintaining a single-peak narrow band, when there is a mixed steric hindrance effect among the substituents of the organic light-emitting molecules—that is, when the substituents of the organic light-emitting molecule's core are selected from at least two of the first, second, third, and fourth substituents—the configuration of the organic light-emitting molecule is optimized. This results in better solubility, easier entry into the microspheres, a greater number of organic light-emitting molecules entering the microspheres, brighter luminescence, and better overall luminescence performance, thus facilitating the application of the luminescent microspheres.

In the context of this invention, the composition of the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres is open-ended, rather than closed-ended, deterministic.
[0251] In some embodiments, the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres used to prepare homogeneous detection reagents also include a buffer, wherein the buffer and organic luminescent molecules are co-encapsulated within the microspheres as acceptor microspheres for the homogeneous detection reagents.
[0252] In some embodiments, the homogeneous detection reagent also includes donor microspheres coated with a photosensitizer.
[0253] In some embodiments, the homogeneous detection reagent includes one or more single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres, which may be coated with a buffer, and the emission spectra of the multiple single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres coated with the buffer have zero overlap.
[0254] In some embodiments, single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres are used to prepare homogeneous detection kits. In some embodiments, the homogeneous detection kit includes the aforementioned homogeneous detection reagents.
[0255] Homogeneous detection methods, compared to other methods, do not require the separation of free / bound molecules, directly detecting the signal of the reaction system. In homogeneous systems, unbound microspheres and reaction buffers may generate non-specific signals. The single-peak characteristic ensures that the emission signal of the microspheres comes from only a single peak position, resulting in higher discrimination against background interference (such as the broad-spectrum autofluorescence of the buffer), reducing background noise, and improving the signal-to-noise ratio (S / N). For example, in homogeneous fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) detection, the donor / acceptor signals of single-peak microspheres are free of extraneous peaks, avoiding errors in energy transfer efficiency calculation and improving quantitative accuracy. Even if the center wavelengths of broad-peak microspheres are different, the peak tails may overlap (e.g., a broad peak at 550 nm overlaps with a broad peak at 600 nm), while narrow-band microspheres (e.g., 550±15 nm, 600±15 nm) can be completely separated. This feature enables multiplex detection, such as simultaneous detection of inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α. Each factor corresponds to a narrow-band microsphere, and the instrument acquires signals individually through different wavelength channels, enabling the detection of multiple indicators in a single reaction and significantly improving detection efficiency (the throughput of the reagent kit is increased by 3-5 times).
[0256] It is understood that when the single-peak narrow-band microspheres mentioned in the context of this invention are used in homogeneous detection, additional photosensitizers and buffers are usually required.
[0257] The term "photosensitizer" refers to a substance that absorbs photons and transfers the absorbed light energy to reactants in various forms, without changing its own mass or chemical properties before and after the chemical reaction. Photosensitizers can transfer excited-state energy to reactants through multiple pathways, including free radical initiation, redox reactions, and energy transfer. In addition to fulfilling the functions of traditional photocatalysts and photoinitiators, photosensitizers have a wider absorption range, utilize a broader wavelength range of sunlight, and have higher absorption and conversion efficiency. Normal substrates rarely generate their triplet intermediates directly through photoexcitation. However, if a photosensitizer is added to the system, its ground-state molecules, after absorbing photons, will generate singlet excited-state molecules upon photoexcitation. These singlet excited-state molecules are more likely to generate triplet intermediates through intersystem crossing, and their long lifetimes are sufficient to induce other substrates to generate corresponding triplet intermediates. These advantages allow photochemical reactions involving photosensitizers to produce more reaction intermediates and facilitate effective reaction control. In some contexts, "photosensitizer" can also be understood as a light absorber, which can be a traditional photosensitizing reagent or other energy donor materials.
[0258] In this application, the single-peak narrowband light-emitting material without buffer mentioned in the context of this application is equivalent to an emitter. In some contexts, it can be understood as a "light-emitting agent" or "light-emitting unit". Generally, it refers to a substance that can ultimately emit energy in the form of light energy. Such substances have light-emitting groups and can produce fluorescence or phosphorescence.
[0259] The term "buffer" can be understood in some contexts as "photochemical storage agent" or "photoelectric energy storage unit." A buffer primarily reacts with singlet oxygen in a cycloaddition reaction to generate an unstable epoxy intermediate, which then forms an excited-state diketone structure, ultimately transferring energy to the emitter. However, in some scenarios, buffers and photochemical storage agents differ slightly. Photochemical storage agents can be understood as long-term storage of photochemical energy, while buffers can be understood as short-term storage of photochemical energy. Both buffers and photochemical storage agents can participate in photochemical reactions, but the photochemical reaction products of photochemical storage agents are more stable and can exist for a longer period at room temperature, thus allowing for long-term energy storage. Buffers, on the other hand, have unstable photochemical products that undergo bond breaking and recombination after a short period of storage, simultaneously realizing energy conversion and extraction / transfer processes, thus only buffering energy for a limited time.
[0260] In some embodiments, this invention additionally coats a buffer as a acceptor microsphere within a single-peak narrow-band luminescent microsphere, and coats a photosensitizer within the microsphere as a donor microsphere. Based on the distance effect of energy transfer between the donor and acceptor microspheres, the concentration information of the analyte is indicated by the intensity of the long-persistent luminescence signal. Simply put, the donor microsphere contains a photosensitizer, and the acceptor microsphere contains a buffer and a luminescent molecule. The acceptor microsphere approaches the donor microsphere through binding via an immune response or other means. A light source selectively excites the donor microsphere, then activates the acceptor microsphere through an energy transfer process, ultimately emitting a long-persistent luminescence signal, which is detected by an optical detector and used for result analysis. The energy transfer efficiency is negatively correlated with distance, and the effective range is within a distance scale of approximately 100 nm. Donor and acceptor microspheres that do not bind via immune responses emit weaker light because the distance exceeds this range. Functionally, the donor microsphere is a sensitizing sphere, and the acceptor microsphere is a luminescent sphere. The presence and concentration information of the target analyte in the sample are determined by detecting the intensity of the long-persistent luminescence signal. Homogeneous detection technology effectively avoids cumbersome steps such as elution and centrifugation. By combining with high-affinity antibodies, it can complete a series of steps from incubation to detection in a short time, achieving highly sensitive testing while reducing operating costs.
[0261] In some implementations, single-peak narrowband luminescent microspheres are used to prepare optical probes. In biological assays, it is often necessary to simultaneously identify multiple targets (e.g., simultaneous detection of tumor markers CA125, CEA, and AFP), requiring different optical probes for each target. If the probe signal is broadband (e.g., FWHM > 50 nm), the spectra of different probes will severely overlap, leading to signal crosstalk (e.g., the emission peak of probe A overlaps with the excitation peak of probe B, which may falsely trigger the signal of probe B). Narrowband-responsive microspheres, however, can achieve wavelength orthogonality, assigning each probe an independent narrowband wavelength channel (e.g., 488 nm, 532 nm, 640 nm), with no channel overlap, thereby increasing the number of targets that can be detected simultaneously by 3-5 times (traditional broadband probes are typically limited to 2-3 channels). Biological samples (e.g., cells, tissue fluid) commonly exhibit autofluorescence (e.g., collagen has a fluorescence range of 350-500 nm, broadband and with unstable intensity), making the signal of broadband probes easily submerged by background noise.
[0262] In some implementations, single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres are used in flow cytometry assays. The single-peak characteristic of these microspheres avoids the complex spectral structures of the main and secondary emission peaks. If the microsphere has secondary emission peaks (such as those generated by dye impurities or structural defects in some multi-peak microspheres), these secondary peaks may fall within the filter range of other channels (e.g., a secondary peak in a CD4-detecting microsphere may fall within the CD8 channel), directly leading to false positive signals. The single-peak characteristic ensures that all fluorescence energy of the microsphere is concentrated within a single wavelength range, without additional stray peaks interfering with other channels. This strictly limits the emission peak to the filter range of the target channel. For example, if the CD3 channel uses a 530±15nm filter (detection range 515-545nm), and the matched microsphere emission peak is set to 530nm with FWHM=30nm (covering 515-545nm), then its signal will be completely captured by this channel and will not spill over into the adjacent CD4 channel (e.g., 570±15nm, 555-585nm)—the emission ranges of the two channels are 10nm apart and do not overlap. If the emission range is also centered at 530nm, it will cover 505-555nm, overlapping with the 555-585nm range of the CD4 channel by 5nm, causing approximately 10% of the CD3 signal to be interfering with the CD4 channel. This forces the flow cytometer to correct this through a complex compensation algorithm, but overcompensation will introduce new errors (e.g., underestimating the true signal of CD4). The number of detection channels in a flow cytometer is limited by the total resources of the excitation wavelength and emission spectral range. For example, the effective emission range of a 488nm laser is usually 500-650nm. If a wide-peak microsphere (FWHM=50nm) is used, it can accommodate up to 3 channels (525nm, 575nm, 625nm, spaced 50nm apart to avoid overlap). However, a narrow-band microsphere (FWHM=30nm) can insert 5 channels in the same range (510nm, 550nm, 590nm, 630nm, spaced 40nm apart, since 30nm peak width + 40nm spacing = no overlap).
[0263] In some implementations, single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres are used to prepare biomarkers. Biomarkers can be used to specifically identify target molecules and output precise signals, especially in multi-target joint detection (such as tumor markers, pathogen antigens, etc.), where signal interference must be avoided to ensure qualitative / quantitative accuracy. Biomarkers are often made by labeling antibodies / nucleic acids with microspheres, and their presence is reflected by emission signals (such as fluorescence) after binding to the target molecule. The single-peak characteristic means that the emission signal of the microsphere comes from only a single peak, without extraneous peaks (such as luminescence from impurities remaining during synthesis, or non-specific luminescence caused by defects in the microsphere itself), thus eliminating "false positive signals." For example, if extraneous peaks exist in microspheres labeled with the N protein of the novel coronavirus, they may be misinterpreted as signals from binding to the S protein, while the single-peak characteristic ensures that the signal comes only from the specific binding of the N protein, improving the qualitative accuracy of the marker. In multi-target detection (such as simultaneously labeling tumor markers such as CEA, AFP, and CA125), different microspheres need to be distinguished by emission wavelength. The narrow-band characteristics result in an extremely narrow emission spectral range for each microsphere (e.g., 500±15nm, 600±15nm). Even with similar center wavelengths, the overlap is extremely low, significantly improving the resolution of multi-target signals. Compared to broad-peak microspheres (e.g., 50nm half-width), narrow-band microspheres can accommodate more targets within a limited wavelength range (e.g., 10 targets within 400-800nm), breaking through the throughput limitations of traditional single-target detection and enabling multi-target measurements within a single tube.
[0264] In some implementations, single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres are used to prepare immunochromatographic assay reagents. Immunochromatography often relies on optical signals (fluorescence, color development), while the test strip matrix (such as a nitrocellulose membrane) may exhibit autofluorescence (broad spectrum). Single-peak microspheres have a single signal peak, which can be filtered by setting specific wavelength channels in the instrument to filter matrix background (e.g., detecting only the 580nm peak, excluding the 400-500nm autofluorescence of the membrane), making the T-line / C-line signal more singular. For example, in whole blood testing, the absorption peak of hemoglobin may interfere with the broad-spectrum microsphere signal, while the signal peak of single-peak microspheres can avoid its absorption range, preventing false negatives caused by signal attenuation. Multi-indicator immunochromatography (such as simultaneous detection of three cardiac markers: troponin, myoglobin, and CK-MB) requires multiple T-lines on the same test strip, each T-line corresponding to a type of microsphere. The narrowband characteristic of microspheres results in significant differences in emission wavelengths across different T-lines (e.g., 520nm, 620nm, 720nm narrowband). The instrument can read the signals of each T-line separately through multiple channels, avoiding cross-interference between signals from adjacent bands. Traditional wide-peak microspheres may cause T-line 1 signals to be mistakenly counted as T-line 2 due to peak overlap, while narrowband microspheres can reduce the cross-interference rate from 20% to below 5%, improving the accuracy of multi-index joint detection.
[0265] In some implementations, single-peak narrowband luminescent microspheres are used in the field of radionuclide applications, such as in the preparation of radionuclide drugs and the detection of radionuclides. Single-peak microspheres can be coupled with radionuclides as "optical labels" (e.g., for tumor targeting: the radionuclide is used for treatment, and the microspheres are used for localization). The single-peak characteristic ensures that the optical signal (e.g., fluorescence) is free of clutter, avoiding interference from the optical signal with the detection of radionuclides (e.g., gamma-ray counting, PET counting). For example, in a radionuclide-optical dual-labeled probe, the single-peak fluorescence signal (e.g., 680 nm) will not be misidentified by the radionuclide gamma-ray counter, ensuring independent quantification of the two signals. The narrowband optical signal has an extremely narrow wavelength range, which can be completely separated from the detection window of the radionuclide (e.g., the gamma-ray energy range). For example, using... 18 When F (PET nuclide, energy 511 keV) is coupled with narrowband microspheres at 650±15 nm, the narrowband optical signal does not affect the energy resolution of PET, while the broad-peak microspheres may cause counting errors due to covering part of the gamma-ray energy range. This characteristic improves the compatibility of multimodal detection and makes the optical positioning and nuclide quantification results more consistent.
[0266] The present invention will be described below by way of specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The methods, reagents, and materials used in the embodiments and comparative examples are conventional methods, reagents, and materials in the art, unless otherwise stated. The starting material compounds in the embodiments and comparative examples are all commercially available.
[0267] In the examples and comparative examples, the emission spectrum of the luminescent microspheres was tested as follows: the luminescent microspheres were diluted 10 times to obtain a luminescent microsphere stock solution. During the test, the luminescent microsphere stock solution was mixed evenly with distilled water and placed in a quartz cuvette. The emission spectrum of the luminescent microspheres was tested using an Edinburgh FS5 fluorescence spectrometer.
[0268] In the examples and comparative examples, the emission spectrum of the luminescent molecules was tested as follows: the luminescent molecules were prepared into a 1mM toluene solution (luminescent molecule stock solution). During the test, the luminescent molecule stock solution and distilled water were mixed evenly and placed in a quartz cuvette. The emission spectrum of each luminescent molecule was tested using an Edinburgh FS5 fluorescence spectrometer.
[0269] Test Example 1
[0270] Method for testing the diameter of luminescent microspheres.
[0271] Images of the luminescent microspheres were acquired using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the dimensions of each microsphere were extracted from the images and statistically analyzed using ImageJ software.
[0272] Test Example 2
[0273] Method for testing the luminescence lifetime of luminescent microspheres.
[0274] The luminescence lifetime of the microspheres was measured using time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) technology with the FLS1000. The specific process is as follows: During testing, the excitation and emission wavelengths of the sample were first determined through steady-state spectroscopy. Then, the microsphere powder was sandwiched between quartz plates or placed in a powder cell and fixed on a standard front surface sample holder. Subsequently, a pulsed picosecond laser diode or nanosecond flash lamp was selected as the light source according to the excitation wavelength. The emission monochromator was adjusted to the characteristic emission peak, and TCSPC mode was enabled. After starting the measurement in Fluoracle software, the system recorded the arrival time of a single emitted photon after each pulse excitation. The fluorescence decay curve was reconstructed through statistical analysis of a large number of events. Finally, the decay curve was deconvolved in the analysis software to eliminate the broadening caused by the instrument response function. Based on the multi-exponential decay characteristics of microspheres often exhibited due to defect states, a multi-exponential model was selected for fitting to obtain the luminescence lifetime of the microspheres.
[0275] When testing the luminescence lifetime of the luminescent microspheres, the wavelength of the excitation source had no effect on the emission spectrum or full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the microspheres. This is because, for conventional fluorescence and photoluminescence (Stokes fluorescence), the shape (FWHM) of the emission spectrum is independent of the excitation wavelength. Excited molecules rapidly return to the lowest energy level of the first excited singlet state through internal conversion and vibrational relaxation, and then emit light. This relaxation process "erases" the excess energy memory from the absorbed photons.

[0289] Preparation of styrene microspheres: Following the method in CN117603383A, styrene and glycidyl methacrylate were added to a three-necked flask, along with potassium persulfate, sodium chloride, and deionized water. The mixture was stirred, the cooling water was turned on, and an inert gas was introduced. The mixture was then heated at room temperature. After 8 hours of reaction, the reaction solution turned milky white. The emulsion and tetrahydrofuran were mixed at a volume ratio of 1:5 and swelled for 5 minutes. The mixture was then centrifuged and the supernatant was discarded. The microspheres were then washed once by alternating centrifugation with ethanol and water to obtain hollow polystyrene microspheres.
[0290] t3IDCz@PS microspheres were prepared by coating polystyrene microspheres with t3IDCz via a swelling method. The specific preparation process was as follows: Polystyrene microspheres were centrifuged to remove surfactants from the synthesis process. The solid polystyrene microspheres were then re-dissolved in 100 mL of ultrapure water and sonicated to form a dispersed phase. Next, 1 mL each of 2 wt% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and 1 wt% ethylenediamine polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene block polyether were added to the polystyrene microsphere aqueous solution and stirred. The luminescent molecules were dispersed in tetrahydrofuran solution to form a dispersed phase. After the solution preparation was complete, the styrene polymer phase was rapidly added to the aqueous phase, and the temperature was gradually increased to 50 °C, with continuous stirring for 10 h. The resulting luminescent microspheres were then centrifuged to remove excess luminescent molecules, washed twice with ultrapure water and ethanol, and stored in ultrapure water at room temperature in the dark for later use.
[0291] The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the emission spectrum of the microspheres was measured to be 27 nm. See the microsphere emission spectrum for details. Figure 1 See the microsphere morphology diagram. Figure 17 The emission spectrum of the microspheres was tested. One emission peak was observed at 5% of the peak intensity, the peak width at 1% of the peak intensity was 119 nm, and the luminescence lifetime was 21 ns. The microsphere diameter was measured to be between 198 nm and 203 nm. The emission spectrum of the luminescent molecules was also tested, with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 21 nm and a peak width at 1% of the peak intensity of 107 nm.

[0294] The p3IDCz molecule was prepared according to the following synthetic route, with the steps as follows:
[0295] The synthesis method of p3IDCz is similar to that of t3IDCz in Example 1, except that in step (9), 3,6-diphenyl-1-(2,5-dibromo-4-iodophenyl)-3,6-diphenyl-9H-carbazole is used instead of 3,6-di-tert-butyl-1-(2,5-dibromo-4-iodophenyl)-9H-carbazole. After the wet purification process, a green powder, namely p3IDCz, is obtained with a yield of 92%.
[0296] The preparation of p3IDCz@PS microspheres is described in Example 1. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the emission spectrum of the microspheres was measured to be 24 nm. The emission spectrum of the microspheres is shown in [reference needed]. Figure 2 See the microsphere morphology diagram. Figure 18 The emission spectrum of the microspheres was tested. One emission peak was observed at 5% intensity (or greater than or equal to the peak value). The peak width at 1% intensity was 117 nm, and the luminescence lifetime was 11.7 ns. The microsphere diameter was measured to be between 198 nm and 203 nm. The emission spectrum of the luminescent molecules was also tested. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) was 16 nm, and the peak width at 1% intensity was 105 nm.

[0511] Comparative Example 1
[0512] The specific synthetic route for the target molecule in this comparative example is as follows:
[0513] The synthesis of the target molecule in this comparative example is described in Example 25, except that 3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazole in the synthetic route is replaced with carbazole.
[0514] Following the method described in Example 1, the target molecule was coated into polystyrene microspheres to obtain luminescent microspheres, and their full width at half maximum (FWHM) was measured. The results are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 19 . Figure 19 The emission spectrum of the luminescent microspheres in toluene solution in this comparative example is shown, with a single emission peak. The emission spectrum of the microspheres was tested, and the measured full width at half maximum (FWHM) was 48 nm. There was one emission peak at 5% intensity (≥5% of the peak value), and the peak width at 1% intensity of the peak value was 122 nm. The luminescence lifetime was 8.5 ns. The diameter of the microspheres was measured to be between 287 nm and 305 nm. The emission spectrum of the luminescent molecules was tested, and the measured FWHM was 33 nm, with a peak width at 1% intensity of the peak value of 114 nm.
[0515] pass Figure 19 Comparing the emission spectra of the microspheres in Examples 25, 26, and Comparative Example 1 in the same figure, it was found that due to the addition of sterically hindered groups (e.g., tert-butyl, phenyl), the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of Examples 25 and 26 was significantly reduced compared to Comparative Example 1. The relative reduction in FWHM was approximately 35% in one group and approximately 43% in the other. Overall, the reduction in FWHM was between 35% and 45%, which is quite significant. This indicates that adding sterically hindered groups can indeed narrow the FWHM of the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres formed when organic light-emitting molecules are coated within them.
[0516] Comparative Example 2
[0517] Referring to the published literature Chem. Commun., 2013, 49, 993, the following synthetic route was used to synthesize borane-boron fluoride dipyrrole (borane-BODIPY) as shown in the formula:
[0518] The target compound was coated in PS spheres in the manner described in Example 1. It was found that it exhibited a double peak under 350 nm excitation, with the main emission peak located at 520 nm and the secondary emission peak located at 410 nm.
[0519] The emission peak shifts of the microspheres in different solvents were tested, including hexane, toluene, dichloromethane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, acetonitrile, and N,N-dimethylformamide. Emission spectra were measured. The results showed that the peak positions of the emission spectra exhibited a blue or red shift of approximately 10 nm, but the full width at half maximum (FWHM) remained unchanged. This indicates that the number of emission peaks for small organic molecules is primarily influenced by their structure. Although the target compound in this comparative example has a similar structure to the compound in the aforementioned BODIPY derivative examples, it was found to completely fail to meet the requirement of a narrow single-peak band.
[0520] The emission spectrum of the luminescent microspheres prepared in this comparative example was tested, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) was measured to be 42 nm. There were two emission peaks at 5% intensity (≥5% of the peak value), and the peak width at 1% intensity (≥136 nm) of the peak value was observed. The luminescence lifetime was 7.6 ns. The microsphere diameter was measured to be between 285 nm and 295 nm. The emission spectrum of the luminescent molecules was also tested, and the FWHM was measured to be 38 nm, with a peak width at 1% intensity (≥125 nm).
[0521] Comparative Example 3
[0522] Referring to the published literature Chem. Commun., 2013, 49, 993, the following method was used to synthesize borane-boron fluoride dipyrrole (borane-BODIPY), and the synthetic steps are as follows:
[0523] The specific synthesis process of this comparative example can be found in Comparative Example 1. The obtained target compound was coated in PS spheres in the manner described in Example 1. It was found that it had two emission peaks at an excitation wavelength of 350 nm, with the main peak located near 520 nm and the secondary peak located near 410 nm. Compared with Comparative Example 2, the full width at half maximum (WHM) was slightly increased, indicating that the addition of alkyl substituents did not significantly affect its peak shape.
[0524] The emission spectrum of the luminescent microspheres prepared in this comparative example was tested, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) was measured to be 43 nm. There were two emission peaks at 5% intensity (greater than or equal to the peak value), and the peak width at 1% intensity (greater than the peak value) was 138 nm. The luminescence lifetime was 7.8 ns. The microsphere diameter was measured to be between 284 nm and 296 nm. The emission spectrum of the luminescent molecules was also tested, and the FWHM was measured to be 37 nm, with a peak width at 1% intensity (greater than the peak value) of 123 nm.

[0526] Preparation of AgInS2 / ZnS quantum dots
[0527] Refer to publicly available documents ACS Omega2024, 9, 39287-39295. Synthesis of AgInS2 / ZnS quantum dots: Under magnetic stirring, aqueous solutions of silver nitrate, mercaptoacetic acid, and ammonium hydroxide were added to water to form an aqueous solution. After adding 0.45 mL of ammonium hydroxide aqueous solution, the resulting turbid, pale yellow suspension became transparent. Further addition of 0.7 mL of indium chloride in nitric acid aqueous solution turned the solution colorless. Next, 1.0 M sodium sulfide (Na2S) aqueous solution was added while stirring. The pH of the mixture at this point was 8-9. The resulting solution was heated in a water bath at 90℃-95℃ for 30 minutes. Subsequently, the indium sulfide (AgInS2) core was coated with a zinc sulfide (ZnS) shell. Under vigorous stirring, aqueous mercaptoacetic acid was added to a zinc acetate (Zn(CH3COO)2, 1.0 M) in nitric acid (HNO3) aqueous solution. The mixture was then heated for an additional 30 minutes to allow the shell to grow. Finally, the synthesized quantum dots were collected, evaporated, and then isopropanol (in a ratio of 1:2) was added to precipitate them. The product was then collected by centrifugation.
[0528] The average size of the AgInS2 / ZnS quantum dots prepared by dynamic light scattering analysis was 7.8 nm ± 0.5 nm, and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed that the prepared quantum dots were spherical.
[0529] Comparative Example 5
[0530] The AgInS2 / ZnS quantum dots in Comparative Example 4 were coated into carboxylated polystyrene microspheres according to the method of patent application CN107699230A. The steps are as follows: The AgInS2 / ZnS quantum dots prepared in Comparative Example 4 were dissolved in toluene and washed multiple times, then centrifuged to precipitate the quantum dots, and finally dissolved in chloroform. The treated quantum dots were added to chloroform to obtain a chloroform solution of the quantum dots. Carboxylated polystyrene microspheres were dispersed in dichloromethane to obtain a microsphere dispersion. The microsphere dispersion was added to the chloroform solution of the quantum dots and dispersed evenly for later use, resulting in a quantum dot-microsphere blend. The quantum dot-microsphere blend was added to an aqueous solution of PVA and mixed with stirring. Finally, the prepared quantum dot microspheres were centrifuged, the supernatant was removed, and the mixture was washed with pure water.
[0531] Using the same method as in Comparative Example 4, the diameter of the quantum dot microspheres was determined to be 49 nm, and the fluorescence efficiency was 79%. The emission spectrum of the luminescent microspheres prepared in this comparative example was tested, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) was measured to be 134 nm. There was one emission peak at 5% intensity (≥5% of the peak value), the peak width at 1% intensity of the peak value was 400 nm, and the luminescence lifetime was 300 ns. The emission spectrum of the AgInS2 / ZnS quantum dots was tested, and the FWHM was measured to be 100 nm, with a peak width at 1% intensity of the peak value of 300 nm.

[0533] Synthesis of Eu(TTA)3-TPA-DPA-mCF3@PS microspheres
[0534] The synthetic route for TPA-DPA-mCF3 is as follows:
[0535] The synthesis of TPA-DPA-mCF3 was performed according to J. Mater. Chem. C, 2022, 10, 7201. The procedure was as follows: TPA-DPA-CHO was added to a glacial acetic acid solution of 1,10-phenanthroline-6,7-dione under stirring at room temperature. Ammonium acetate and mCF3-amine were then added to the reaction mixture. The resulting mixture was then stirred at 110°C for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into a small amount of water, followed by the addition of ammonium hydroxide solution. The resulting solid was then filtered, dissolved in dichloromethane, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated to obtain the crude product. The obtained compound was purified by silica gel (100-200 mesh) column chromatography using chloroform containing 5% methanol as the eluent. After solvent evaporation, the residue was dissolved in a small amount of tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution, and excess hexane was added to form a pale yellow solid. After the solid settled, it was decanted, and this process was repeated three times to obtain the pale yellow solid compound. MRI results: 1 H-NMR Data (CDCl3, 400MHz): δ 9.24 (s, 1H), 9.18 (d, J = 7.7 Hz, 2H), 9.10 (s, 1H), 7.97 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.81 (dd, J= 7.9, 4.5 Hz, 2H), 7.75 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.58 (d, J = 8.6 Hz, 1H), 7.38 (m, J = 6.3 Hz, 3H), 7.28 (m, 6H), 7.13 (m, J = 7.7 Hz, 5H), 7.04 (m, J =15.7, 8.2 Hz, 6H), 6.89 (d, J = 8.8 Hz, 1H). 13C-NMR Data (CDCl3, 100MHz): δ148.80, 147.98, 147.70, 138.78, 132.36, 131.29, 130.11, 129.27, 127.59,127.08, 126.40, 126.23, 124.89, 124.25, 124.09, 123.74, 122.77, 122.77,122.46, 119.57, 77.35, 77.24, 77.04, 76.72, 67.10.
[0536] Eu(TTA)3(H2O)2 was dissolved in anhydrous THF and stirred continuously in a round-bottom flask until a clear solution was obtained. Then, a solution of the ligand (TPA-DPA-mCF3) dissolved in anhydrous THF was slowly added dropwise. The reaction mixture was stirred at 60°C for 6 hours under an inert atmosphere. The reaction progress was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). After the reaction was complete, the mixture was concentrated using a rotary evaporator, and the residue was dissolved with a minimum volume of THF. Excess n-hexane was slowly added along the wall of the round-bottom flask to this solution, causing a precipitate to form. The supernatant was carefully decanted, and the solid residue was collected and dried. The above precipitation purification steps were repeated several times to finally obtain a pure powder of the target complex Eu(TTA)3-TPA-DPA-mCF3.
[0537] Microspheres were prepared according to the method disclosed in patent application CN118480059A. A mixture of Eu(TTA)3-TPA-DPA-mCF3 dye, polystyrene microspheres and tetrahydrofuran was ultrasonically treated to obtain a clear solution. 5 mL of deionized water was rapidly injected into the mixture, and the mixture was heated to 50 °C and stirred for 2 h in a fume hood. Then, the mixture was concentrated by rotary evaporation and filtered through a membrane filter to prepare Eu(TTA)3-TPA-DPA-mCF3@PS microspheres.
[0538] The microspheres obtained above were excited at a wavelength of 330 nm. The results are shown in [reference needed]. Figure 20 The study found that the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the Eu(TTA)3-TPA-DPA-mCF3@PS microspheres met the narrow band requirement, but they exhibited multiple emission peaks. The emission spectrum of the luminescent microspheres prepared in this comparative example was tested, revealing a FWHM of 20 nm. Multiple emission peaks were observed at 5% intensity (greater than or equal to the highest peak value), with a peak width of 180 nm at 1% intensity of the highest peak value. The luminescence lifetime was 0.65 ns. The microsphere diameter was measured to be between 580 nm and 700 nm. The emission spectrum of the luminescent molecules was also tested, revealing a FWHM of 16 nm and a peak width of 187 nm at 1% intensity of the highest peak value.
[0539] The luminescent microspheres prepared in Examples 25-28 and Comparative Example 6 were tested.
[0540] Detection method for standard samples: Combine 20 μL of the standard sample with reagent 1 (100 μL), reagent 2 (20 μL), and reagent 3 (20 μL), incubate at 37°C with shaking for 10 minutes, and then take the reading. The standard sample is commercially available IL-6 (concentration 0-5000.0 pg / mL), reagent 1 is donor microsphere solution, reagent 2 is acceptor microsphere solution, and reagent 3 is PBS buffer.
[0541] Preparation method of donor microspheres: 0.1 g of carboxylated polystyrene spheres with a particle size of 100 nm were dissolved in 100 mL of ultrapure water and ultrasonically dispersed. Then, 0.5–5 mL each of 2 wt% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and 1 wt% ethylenediamine polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene block polyether were added to the dispersion and stirred to form an aqueous solution. A photosensitizer was dispersed in 10 mL of tetrahydrofuran to form an organic phase, which was then rapidly added to the above aqueous solution. The temperature was gradually increased to 50 °C and stirred continuously for 10 h. The reacted carboxylated polystyrene spheres were centrifuged, washed twice with ultrapure water and ethanol, and stored in ultrapure water to prepare energy donor microspheres, which were then stored at room temperature in the dark for later use. The donor microspheres were centrifuged at high speed, washed three times with PBS buffer, and finally adjusted to a solid content of 0.1%. The microspheres were ultrasonically dispersed to ensure uniform dispersion. 500 μL of the above dispersion was added to 500 μL of MES and 10 mg of EDC, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 2 hours. After the reaction, the mixture was centrifuged and washed, and then reconstituted in 500 μL of PBS buffer. 0.01 mg of IL-6-Ab1 monoclonal antibody was added to each buffer, and the mixture was reacted at room temperature for 24 hours. After the reaction, the mixture was stirred at 16000 rpm, centrifuged and washed, and then reconstituted in 500 μL of PBS buffer. 10 mg of BSA was added, and the mixture was reacted at room temperature for 8 hours. After the reaction, the mixture was centrifuged and washed to obtain 1 mg of energy donor microspheres coated with IL-6-Ab1 antibody. These microspheres were reconstituted in 2.0 mL of PBS buffer to prepare donor fraction II-1 containing the photosensitizer, and stored at 4 °C for later use.
[0542] Preparation method of receptor microspheres: Referring to the preparation method of donor microspheres, the difference is that the luminescent molecules and photochemical buffers of this embodiment are used instead of the photosensitizer and dispersed in 10 mL of tetrahydrofuran. IL-6-Ab2 monoclonal antibody is conjugated to the energy receptor microspheres and reacted at room temperature for 8 hours. After the reaction, the mixture is stirred at 35,000 rpm, with other conditions remaining the same. The final receptor component II-2 is obtained.
[0543] Detection method for whole blood samples: Add 5 μL of whole blood sample to be tested, diluent (PBS buffer), the recipient microsphere solution and donor microsphere solution prepared above to the same reaction vessel in sequence, stir well to prepare an immunoreaction system, and incubate for 5 min; irradiate the reaction vessel with 680 nm excitation light, collect the luminescence signal value, and substitute the luminescence signal value into the corresponding standard curve to obtain the concentration of IL-6 in the sample to be tested.
[0544] The luminescence signal values of the luminescent microspheres prepared in Examples 25-28 and Comparative Example 6 were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0545] Table 1: Luminescence signal values of the luminescent microspheres in Examples 25-28 and Comparative Example 6
[0546] Note: The unit of the light emission signal value in Table 1 is "1".
[0547] As shown in Table 1 above, the detection limit of the prior art in Comparative Example 6 is 1.00 pg / mL, the detection limit of the prior art in Example 25 is 1.00 pg / mL, and the detection limit of the prior art in Examples 26 and 27 is 2.00 pg / mL. The addition of external stimuli, such as X-rays and light, increases the production of singlet oxygen, thus increasing the luminescence intensity and raising the detection limit to 0.50 pg / mL. This means that the detection limit of the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres used in this example for homogeneous detection is increased by at least four times, resulting in a significant breakthrough in detection sensitivity. A detection limit of 0.5 pg / mL can capture ultra-low abundance biomarkers that are undetectable by traditional methods. For example, in the early stages of tumors, the concentration of microRNA (miRNA) in ctDNA or exosomes is often below 1 pg / mL. This breakthrough makes ultra-early screening for diseases such as lung cancer and colorectal cancer possible. For targeted therapies (such as anti-PD-1 antibody therapy), dynamic monitoring of blood drug concentrations and tumor markers (such as ctDNA mutation burden) requires a detection limit below 1 pg / mL. User technology can provide real-time feedback on treatment effectiveness, guiding adjustments to individualized medication regimens.
[0548] Comparative Example 7
[0549] The synthetic route of the target molecule in this comparative example is as follows:
[0550] The synthesis method of the target molecule in this comparative example is similar to that in Example 10, except that: in step (1), benzaldehyde is used instead of p-tert-butylbenzaldehyde; and in step (4), phenylboronic acid is used instead of p-tert-butylbenzaldehyde.
[0551] Following the method in Example 1, the target molecule was coated into polystyrene microspheres to obtain luminescent microspheres. The emission spectrum of the microspheres prepared in this comparative example was tested, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) was 47 nm. There was one emission peak at 5% intensity (≥5% of the peak value), and the peak width at 1% intensity of the peak value was 130 nm. The luminescence lifetime was 6.5 ns. The microsphere diameter was measured to be between 280 nm and 305 nm. The emission spectrum of the luminescent molecule was also tested, and the FWHM was 45 nm, with a peak width at 1% intensity of the peak value of 125 nm.
[0552] Comparative Example 8
[0553] The synthetic route of the target molecule in this comparative example is as follows:
[0554] The synthesis method of the target molecule in this comparative example is similar to that in Example 1.
[0555] Following the method in Example 1, the target molecule was coated into polystyrene microspheres to obtain luminescent microspheres. The emission spectrum of the microspheres prepared in this comparative example was tested, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) was 42 nm. There was one emission peak at 5% intensity (≥5% of the peak value), the peak width at 1% intensity of the peak value was 120 nm, and the luminescence lifetime was 13.0 ns. The microsphere diameter was measured to be between 195 nm and 206 nm. The emission spectrum of the luminescent molecule was also tested, and the FWHM was 39 nm, with a peak width at 1% intensity of the peak value of 108 nm.
[0556] Application Example 1
[0557] The pICz-TPA@PS microspheres prepared in Example 15 were processed and added to a buffer in the prior art as receptor microspheres.
[0558] The photosensitizer in the existing homogeneous detection system was coated in polystyrene microspheres as donor microspheres.
[0559] N-hydroxythiosuccinimide was added to both the donor and recipient microsphere systems and vortexed. Then, an equal volume of 1-ethyl-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide was added and shaken. After activation, the solution was centrifuged and the supernatant was discarded. 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid was added and the mixture was sonicated. Antibodies were added to the sonicated mixture for labeling. IL-6-Ab1 antibody was added to the donor microspheres and IL-6-Ab2 antibody was added to the recipient microspheres. The mixture was mixed in the dark, centrifuged, and the supernatant was discarded. Bovine serum albumin was added to the precipitate for blocking. The mixture was sonicated in the dark, centrifuged, and the supernatant was discarded. Borate buffer was added to the precipitate, and the mixture was sonicated and stored.
[0560] 2 μL of the serum sample to be tested and 98 μL of diluent were added sequentially to the same reaction vessel, stirred thoroughly to prepare an immunoassay system, and incubated for 5 min. The reaction vessel was then irradiated, the excitation light was turned off, and the light signal value was collected. The light signal value was then substituted into the light signal-analyte concentration standard curve to obtain the concentration value of the analyte.
[0561] Application Example 2
[0562] Referring to Application Example 1, the difference is that the pICz-TPA@PS microspheres are replaced with the Cz-DBCz@PS microspheres in Example 5 for preparing receptor microspheres.
[0563] Application Example 3
[0564] Referring to Application Example 1, the difference is that the pICz-TPA@PS microspheres are replaced with PhO-DBCz@PS microspheres from Example 7 for preparing receptor microspheres.
[0565] Application Example 4
[0566] Referring to Application Example 1, the difference is that X-rays are applied simultaneously as an external stimulus during excitation light irradiation.
[0567] Application Example 5
[0568] Referring to Application Example 1, the only difference is that the luminescent molecules in the receptor microspheres are replaced with the luminescent agent in the homogeneous detection system of the prior art, while everything else remains the same. The detection marker is IL-6. Its concentration is detected to obtain the test results.
[0569] Table 2: Test Results of Application Examples 1-5
[0570] As shown in Table 2 above, the detection limit (LOD) of Application Example 5 using the luminescent agent from the prior art is 3.00 pg / mL, the LOD of Application Example 1 is 1.00 pg / mL, and the LODs of Application Examples 2 and 3 are 1.50 pg / mL. In Application Example 4, where X-rays and light are combined as external stimuli, the increased singlet oxygen production leads to increased luminescence intensity, resulting in a LOD of 0.50 pg / mL. This means that the detection limit of the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres of the present invention, when used in homogeneous detection, can be increased by 6 times, thus achieving a significant breakthrough in detection sensitivity. A detection limit of 0.5 pg / mL can capture ultra-low abundance biomarkers that are undetectable by conventional methods. For example, in the early stages of tumors, the concentration of microRNAs (miRNAs) in ctDNA or exosomes is often below 1 pg / mL. This breakthrough makes ultra-early screening for diseases such as lung cancer and colorectal cancer possible. For targeted therapies (such as anti-PD-1 antibody therapy), dynamic monitoring of blood drug concentrations and tumor markers (such as ctDNA mutation burden) requires a detection limit below 1 pg / mL. User technology can provide real-time feedback on treatment effectiveness, guiding adjustments to individualized medication regimens.
[0571] Application Example 6-15
[0572] The concentration of the biomarker was tested in accordance with Application Example 1, except that the microspheres in Table 3 were replaced with the Cz-DBCz@PS microspheres in Example 5 to prepare the receptor microspheres.
[0573] Table 3: Microspheres used in Application Example 6-15
[0574] The luminescence signal values of the microspheres in Application Examples 6-15 were tested using the same methods as those used in Examples 25-28 and Comparative Example 6.
[0575] Table 4: Luminescence signal values of microspheres in Application Example 6-15
[0576] Note: The unit of the luminous signal values in Table 4 is "1".
[0577] As can be seen from Table 4, the experimental results of Application Examples 6-15 show that the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres of the present invention have the advantage of high sensitivity in homogeneous detection.
[0578] Application Example 16: Multiplex Nanoflow Cytometry Detection Based on Single-Peak Narrow-Band Emitting Microspheres
[0579] This application example utilizes the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres mentioned above in nanoflow cytometry to detect exosomal protein markers CD151, TTF-1, and SFTPB proteins.
[0580] Three types of single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres were selected. In this application example, the microspheres from Examples 2, 5, and 7 were combined. The emission half-width (FWHM) of these three examples was less than 20 nm. The luminescent microspheres from the above examples were antibody-conjugated, and then plasma exosomes were extracted for sample incubation and flow cytometry detection.
[0581] Specifically, in the microsphere antibody conjugation stage, three types of single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres were taken, washed twice with MES buffer at pH 6.0 and resuspended, then activated with EDC and NHS at room temperature in the dark. After centrifugation and discarding the supernatant, Anti-CD151 antibody (10418-1-AP), Anti-TTF-1 antibody (ab227652), and Anti-SFTPB antibody (13664-1-AP) were added respectively, and conjugated at room temperature in the dark for 2 hours. Subsequently, BSA solution with a final concentration of 1% was added for blocking for 30 min, washed three times with PBS filtered through a filter membrane, and resuspended in 1 mL of storage solution. The microspheres were then stored at 4°C in the dark for later use. Plasma exosome extraction was strictly performed according to the published method. Peripheral blood samples were collected from clinically diagnosed non-small cell lung cancer patients and healthy individuals undergoing physical examinations. Blood cells were removed by centrifugation at 4°C, and the supernatant was centrifuged again to remove cell debris and impurities. Plasma samples were then aliquoted and added to centrifuge tubes. After centrifugation at 4°C and discarding the supernatant, the precipitate was resuspended in PBS. The ultracentrifugation and washing steps were repeated once, and the exosomes were finally resuspended in PBS. During the sample incubation and detection phase, the prepared exosome samples were taken, and luminescent microsphere working solutions containing three conjugated antibodies were added. PBS was added to bring the total volume to 100 μL, and the samples were incubated overnight at 4°C in the dark. After incubation, the samples were diluted with PBS and transferred to flow cytometry tubes for detection. The nanoflow cytometry detection parameters were set to 488 nm excitation light power of 10 mW, corresponding to the activation of the three detection channels at 525 nm, 605 nm, and 685 nm. Each sample was sampled for 20 s, and a threshold was set using isotype control microspheres to distinguish between positive and background signals.
[0582] Application Comparative Example 1
[0583] Comparative Example 1 of this application uses a multicolor direct fluorescent labeling scheme, with FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) labeling Anti-CD151, PE (phycoerythrin) labeling Anti-TTF-1, and APC (allophycocyanin) labeling Anti-SFTPB, and exosomes are directly detected after immunofluorescence staining.
[0584] The FITC structure is as follows:
[0585] In this comparative application, the microsphere coupling step is not required. The remaining exosome extraction process is the same as in Application Example 16. During the fluorescence staining stage, 10 μL of exosome sample is taken, 4% BSA is added, and the sample is blocked at room temperature for 10 min. Then, the corresponding working concentrations of FITC-labeled Anti-CD151, PE-labeled Anti-TTF-1, and APC-labeled Anti-SFTPB antibodies are added. The sample is incubated overnight at 4°C in the dark. After washing and resuspending with PBS, the sample is then tested. The detection channels and instrument parameters are the same as in Application Example 16.
[0586] Application Comparative Example 2
[0587] Comparative Example 2 of this application uses ordinary broadband polystyrene fluorescent microspheres (all with a half-width of more than 85 nm), coupled with the same three antibodies as in Application Example 16, and the incubation and detection procedures are completely consistent with Application Example 16.
[0588] The microsphere coupling, exosome extraction, incubation and detection procedures in this comparative application are exactly the same as those in Application Example 16, except that ordinary broadband fluorescent microspheres are used instead.
[0589] , , .
[0590] The emission half-width of D-1, D-2, and D-3 is greater than 80 nm.
[0591] Three types of single-labeled microsphere samples were cross-detected in three detection channels, and the signal crosstalk rate was calculated. In Application Example 16, the crosstalk rates for microspheres B and C detected in the 525 nm channel were 2.1% and 1.8%, respectively; the crosstalk rates for microspheres A and C detected in the 605 nm channel were 1.5% and 2.4%, respectively; and the crosstalk rates for microspheres A and B detected in the 685 nm channel were both below 2.0%. The signals from the three types of microspheres showed virtually no mutual interference, perfectly matching the spectral characteristics of a single peak and narrow band, enabling the differentiation of the three indicators. In Comparative Application Example 1, the spectral overlap of organic fluorescent dyes led to significant crosstalk. The crosstalk rate for the FITC signal reached 12.7% in the 605 nm channel, and the crosstalk rate for the PE signal reached 8.3% in the 685 nm channel, easily causing false positives for low-abundance samples. The crosstalk of the broadband microspheres in Comparative Example 2 is similar to that in Comparative Example 1. The crosstalk rate of the 525 nm channel to the 605 nm microsphere is 9.6%, and the 685 nm channel has a spillover signal of the 605 nm microsphere with a crosstalk rate of 7.2%, which makes it impossible to achieve accurate quantification of the three indicators.
[0592] Plasma samples from 10 patients with non-small cell lung cancer and 10 healthy individuals were selected. The methods described in Application Example 16, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 were used for combined detection of three indicators. Application Example 16 showed that the proportion of CD151, TTF-1, and SFTPB-positive exosomes in the lung cancer group was significantly lower than that in the healthy group. The combined AUC of the three indicators reached 0.932, higher than the 0.898 in Comparative Example 1, and the intra-group coefficients of variation were all less than 5%, indicating better repeatability. Comparative Example 1 showed an increased false positive rate in the healthy group due to fluorescence crosstalk, with a combined AUC of only 0.814, indicating significant bias in the detection results of low-abundance early-stage lung cancer samples. Comparative Example 2 showed high dispersion in the detection results, with decreased differentiation between the healthy and lung cancer groups; the combined AUC was 0.807. In the detection of 10 stage I non-small cell lung cancer samples, the positive detection rate of Case 16 reached 90%, while the detection rates of Comparative Case 1 and Comparative Case 2 were 60% and 55%, respectively, which fully demonstrates that the high sensitivity of single-peak narrow-band microspheres has higher accuracy and sensitivity in early lung cancer screening.
[0593] Application Example 17: Immunochromatography Based on Single-Peak Narrow-Band Luminescent Microspheres
[0594] Take 1 mg of microspheres from Examples 36, 34, 10, or 20, wash three times with 0.05 mol / L MES buffer (pH=6.0), resuspend, and add freshly prepared EDC and NHS solution. Activate by shaking at room temperature for 30 min. Centrifuge to remove the supernatant, resuspend the microspheres in 0.05 mol / L borate buffer (pH=7.4), and add the corresponding target detection antibody (SAA, PCT, CRP, IL-6). React by shaking at room temperature for 2 h. Block with 1% BSA solution for 1 h; centrifuge to remove unbound antibody and blocking agent, resuspend in PBS buffer containing 0.5% BSA, and store at 4°C protected from light.
[0595] Capture antibodies targeting four different targets were sprayed onto an NC membrane using a coating instrument, forming four detection lines: T1 (SAA), T2 (PCT), T3 (CRP), and T4 (IL-6). Goat anti-mouse IgG was sprayed as the control line (C line), with a line spacing of 3 mm. The membrane was then vacuum-dried overnight at 37°C. (See also...) Figure 29 Four types of immunoglobulins were mixed in equal proportions and diluted to the working concentration with a reconstitution buffer containing sucrose and Tween-20. The mixture was then evenly sprayed onto the conjugate pad and dried at 37°C for 2 hours. The sample pad, conjugate pad, NC membrane, and absorbent pad were then sequentially pasted onto a PVC base plate with an overlap width of 2 mm. The mixture was then cut into 4 mm wide test strips using a strip cutter, inserted into the cartridge, and stored in a dry environment.
[0596] The target standard was diluted with negative human serum to create a series of concentration gradients. 100 μL of each sample was added to the sample well of the test strip and allowed to react at room temperature for 15 min. The fluorescence intensity of the T and C lines in the four emission channels was acquired using a multi-channel fluorescence reader, and the T / C ratio was calculated. A standard curve was fitted with the target concentration on the x-axis and the corresponding T / C ratio on the y-axis, and the limit of detection (LOD) was calculated according to the 3σ principle. Simultaneously, positive samples containing only a single target were added, and the signal values of the four channels were read. The signal proportion of non-target channels, i.e., the crosstalk rate, was calculated. The results are shown in Tables 5 and 6.
[0597] Application Comparative Example 3
[0598] Comparative Example 3 of this application uses four broad-peak structures as examples, among which MeODPA-DiKTa has a peak value of 655 nm and FWHM is 71 nm, with the following structures: ; The peak value of FL-BTD-IDB (fluorenylbenzothiadiazole) is 575 nm, and the FWHM is 76 nm. The structure is as follows: ; The FL-BTD-Oar has a peak wavelength of 528 nm (green light) and an FWHM of 73 nm. Its structure is as follows: ; Twisted carbazole-benzophenone (CzBP) (blue light), peak at 452 nm, FWHM=77 nm, structure as follows: ; The four broad-peak structures described above were coated in polystyrene microspheres according to Example 1, and then SAA, PCT, CRP, and IL-6 were detected according to Application Example 17. The results are shown in Tables 5 and 6.

[0600] Table 6
[0601] Application Example 18: Multiplex Cell Staining Based on Single-Peak Narrow-Band Luminescent Microspheres
[0602] This application example uses human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tissue microarrays (containing 60 cancerous tissues and corresponding adjacent normal tissues) and PD-L1 gradient-expressing cell slices as detection samples. Four tumor targets—PanCK, CD8, CD68, and PD-L1—were selected to verify the advantages of single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres in multiplex immunofluorescence staining. This application example uses four specific secondary antibodies labeled with single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres (Examples 36, 34, 10, and 20) as detection reagents. The emission peaks of the four microspheres correspond to 480 nm, 525 nm, 580 nm, and 650 nm, respectively, with a half-width at half-maximum (HWHM) of no more than 35 nm. This allows for non-overlapping spectral arrangement in the visible light region, and they are matched with four primary antibodies: mouse anti-PanCK, rabbit anti-CD8, goat anti-CD68, and guinea pig anti-PD-L1.
[0603] First, the paraffin tissue microarray underwent routine dewaxing and hydration. After microwave antigen retrieval using pH 9.0 EDTA buffer, it was incubated with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution at room temperature in the dark to block endogenous peroxidase. Then, non-specific binding sites were blocked with 5% BSA at room temperature. After blocking, a mixed working solution of four primary antibodies was added directly, and the microarray was incubated overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber in the dark. The next day, after thorough washing with PBS, a mixed working solution of four narrow-band luminescent microsphere-labeled secondary antibodies was added, and the microarray was incubated at room temperature in the dark for 1 hour. After multiple washes with PBS, the cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Finally, the microarray was mounted with anti-fluorescence quenching mounting medium and images were acquired. The entire detection process requires only one antigen retrieval and one round of antibody incubation to simultaneously label four target sites, with a total operation time of approximately 9 hours, which can be completed within a single working day.
[0604] Application Comparative Example 4
[0605] This application strictly followed the given multiplex immunofluorescence staining protocol, using poly-HRP secondary antibody in combination with four tyramine fluorescent substrates: FITC, Cy3, Cy5, and Alexa Fluor 700, to detect the same four targets as in Application Example 18. The experiment required four cycles of single-target labeling, each cycle sequentially performing antigen retrieval, endogenous peroxidase blockade, non-specific blocking, single-target primary antibody incubation, HRP secondary antibody incubation, tyramine fluorescent substrate reaction, and high-temperature antibody elution. After completing all four staining cycles, DAPI nuclear counterstaining and mounting were performed. Due to the broad emission spectrum and significant channel crosstalk of traditional organic fluorescent dyes, images were ultimately acquired using a multispectral imaging system, and crosstalk was corrected using a spectral splitting algorithm before quantitative analysis.
[0606] The results showed that in Application Example 18, the cross-color rate of the four detection channels was less than 1%, and the signals of each channel could be separated without spectral splitting. The false positive rate of CD8 and PD-L1 double-positive cell subpopulations was reduced by 83% compared with the control example. In Application Example 4, due to the limitation of the broad emission peak of the organic fluorescent dye, the cross-color rate of each channel was generally in the range of 4% to 8%. Even after correction by the multispectral unmixing algorithm, a certain quantitative bias was still introduced, and the error was more significant in the co-localization analysis of double-positive cells.
[0607] Application Example 19: Biological Tissue Live Tags Based on Single-Peak Narrow-Band Luminescent Microspheres
[0608] This application example demonstrates the use of the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres mentioned above in the field of biological tissue labeling, using the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres mentioned above as a labeling reagent for spray-on narrow-band luminescent microspheres.
[0609] OATP (organic anion transport peptide) targeting ligands were modified on the surface of single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres to prepare a stable aqueous microsphere suspension. Following the atomization spraying method reported in LifeMedicine, 2023, Volume 2, Issue 1, lnac059, the microspheres were directly applied to the tumor cut surface. Unbound microspheres could be quickly washed away with physiological saline, leaving only microspheres that specifically bind to tumor cells, and then narrow-band luminescence signals were collected.
[0610] In this case, the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres in Example 5 targeted OATP to label tumor tissue, the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres in Example 7 targeted CD31 to label blood vessels, and the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres in Example 8 targeted LYVE-1 to label lymphatic vessels were mixed and sprayed onto the tissue section in one go. The signals were simultaneously acquired by a multi-channel imaging system to obtain the tumor boundary and vascular distribution information in one go.
[0611] Application Comparative Example 5
[0612] The first three types of broad-peak luminescent microspheres of Application Example 3 were labeled according to the process of Application Example 19.
[0613] The test results show that the method reported in LifeMedicine, 2023, Volume 2, Issue 1, lnac059, uses a single luminescent channel and can only identify the tumor region, failing to simultaneously label key structures in surrounding normal tissue. Furthermore, the broad-peak luminescent microspheres used in Comparative Example 5 exhibit severe overlap and cross-color interference, making it impossible to distinguish multiple targets. The tumor / normal tissue signal-to-noise ratio of the small molecule self-assembled nanoprobes reported in LifeMedicine, 2023, Volume 2, Issue 1, lnac059, is approximately 4, while the tumor / normal tissue signal-to-noise ratio of the sprayed probe using the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres in Example 19 can be improved to over 10. Moreover, the single-peak narrow-band luminescent microspheres in Example 19 are multi-colored without cross-color interference and can simultaneously label three targets.
