Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical reagent kits, in particular to a reagent kit for detecting homocysteine ​​in urine. Background Art

[0002] Homocysteine ​​is a sulfur-containing amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the human body itself. It usually relies on the decomposition of methionine to be produced, and it is not an essential amino acid contained in protein. In a healthy human body, the content of homocysteine ​​in serum is generally low, and it is mostly in the form of protein binding. Homocysteine ​​can change the permeability of blood vessel walls and is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and stroke. It is found that the content of homocysteine ​​in urine will also increase when myocardial infarction occurs. Therefore, we advocate the determination of homocysteine ​​content in urine and the development of a device that can detect homocysteine ​​in urine.

[0003] At present, the main methods for measuring homocysteine ​​are: amino acid analysis, paper chromatography, quantitative analysis by amino acid analyzer, isotope method, radioenzyme analysis, enzyme conversion immunoassay, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), homocysteine ​​cycle enzyme method, immunological method, flow injection analysis (FLA), electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, direct color reaction, radioimmunoassay, etc. However, the current methods for detecting homocysteine ​​are mainly focused on: taking a long time. On the one hand, it is due to the method. The instruments required for amino acid analysis and paper chromatography are relatively complex, which greatly prolongs the detection time of homocysteine ​​and is cumbersome to operate. Radioactive elements are added to some experimental designs. This radioactive element will decay. If it is not handled properly, it is easy to cause radioactive contamination and is not suitable for promotion and use. In addition, the experimental process requires both the conversion of the substrate and the determination of the relevance of the substrate. The operation cycle is long and the operation technology is complicated. Because it involves the use of some precision instruments, such as gas chromatographs, it consumes a lot of resources and it is difficult to achieve the expected effect. Utility Model Content
